Alaria:

I didn’t belong here.

“Just walk away, Alaria. You can walk away. You have to walk away.” I said, encouraging myself with each step that I took.

But all I could think about was him. The way that he held her in his arms, the way his back was hunched over as he pulled her into his embrace. The fact that it was she who got it in the end, despite everything, despite me being his wife at first, she somehow managed to break everything that I had and still she was the one who was favored. Of course, she would be. She was his wife.

Even through the closed door, I could hear her muffled cries, her hands clutching at his shirt as she fell apart.

The way my chest ached as I looked at them, as I saw him holding her, comforting her. As I heard her words.

I shouldn’t have stayed to watch. I should have simply just walked away because it meant nothing. I shouldn't have even comforted him.

But I couldn’t move. My legs weren't allowing me to.

And what hurt the most wasn’t the sight of him comf

    Alaria:The mornings had begun to blend together, gray light, careful silence, and the quiet pacing of footsteps outside my door that reminded me I was never truly alone.It’s been weeks, maybe months since we’ve been here. At this point, I genuinely lost count of how long it has been.My body felt heavier these days, my strength flickering between sharp bursts and exhaustion. The doctor’s tonics helped little; the only thing that steadied me was Anastasia’s small voice when she spoke to me, unaware of how much I needed her calm to keep from breaking.That morning, Bianca came in without her usual sharpness. She carried a tray, but she wasn’t watching me, her eyes were fixed somewhere past me, as if she were listening to something only she could hear.“You need to eat,” she said, setting the tray down. “Your body is growing weaker by the second.”“I’m not hungry,” I murmured, staring out the window. The snow was just beginning to gather outside, soft, silent, deadly in its beauty.Bia

    Liam:Trust was never something I gave easily.And after what Claire had done, it wasn’t something she could ever really earn again.But as I stood at the edge of the ridge, watching the storm roll across the horizon, I knew one thing for certain…if there was even a chance she could lead me to Alaria, I’d take it.Even if it meant that I would have to be in the place with her.Kai joined me not long after. He didn’t bother with pleasantries; he rarely did when I looked like this, half man, half wildfire.“She’s dangerous,” he said immediately. “You know that, right? And she could be dragging us deeper into more….”“I know.” I said, stopping him from completing whatever it was that he was going to tell me. Not because I didn’t want to listen, but because I knew that everything that he was going to say was true.“She’s lied before. Manipulated everyone around her. Including you. And she has done it without blinking, Liam. You are allowing that to happen, and you are giving it to her on

    Claire:The wind had teeth that night.It bit through the trees, carrying the scent of rain and distant wolves. By the time I reached the ridge overlooking the old border, Liam was already there, his posture a weapon even when he wasn’t speaking.He didn’t turn when I approached. The air around him was taut, charged with the kind of fury that didn’t need words to be understood.“I heard you’ve been burning half the border,” I said quietly. “Impressive. Though not very efficient. It is not going to get you anywhere. And judging by the fact that I, of all people, know you more than anyone else… I am surprised to see that you were foolish enough to believe that it would.”He didn’t look at me. “You shouldn’t be here.”“Neither should you,” I replied, stepping closer. “And yet, here were are.”The silence stretched until I felt it in my bones. When he finally turned, the look in his eyes made the night itself hold its breath.“You said you had something to tell me,” he said flatly. “It is

    Darius:She’d walked out without waiting for my dismissal.Most wolves wouldn’t have dared. Most women wouldn’t have survived the silence that followed.But Alaria… she didn’t flinch. She didn’t even look back. The soft sway of her hair was the only trace she left as she disappeared through the doorway, and somehow that was louder than any argument we could’ve had.I sat there long after she’d gone, the untouched food between us cooling into nothing. The candlelight flickered, shadows cutting across the table like old scars. The air still held her scent, soft, warm, infuriatingly alive.For the first time in years, I couldn’t name what I was feeling.It wasn’t victory.It wasn’t desire, not in the way I understood it.It was something quieter, sharper, threaded with a strange, reluctant respect.A feeling that I didn’t even think that I was capable of having.She had faced me without trembling.And that, I realized, I admired far more than I should.The door creaked behind me. Bianca

    Alaria:The corridor to the dining hall felt longer than it had the night before.Every step echoed too loudly, every flicker of light from the chandeliers seemed to follow me like an accusation.Bianca walked just ahead of me, her back straight, her voice soft and urgent.“Please,” she whispered. “Don’t do something foolish tonight. I am begging you, for your own sake, for your daughter, do not provoke him.”I said nothing. The gown she’d chosen for me, a soft blue, modest but unfamiliar, felt like a chain around my ribs.She stopped before the door, her hand brushing my arm. “Alaria, listen to me.” Her tone was trembling now. “He’s unpredictable when he feels cornered. Don’t provoke him. Just eat, agree, let the night end quietly. It is going to be a lot easier that way. For everyone, and not just you.”I met her eyes. “Quiet doesn’t save anyone.”“Neither does dying,” she hissed, the words a desperate plea. “I know that you don’t want to do this, and I know that you could not care

    Claire:I found her in the servants’ wing, where the light was thin and the corridors smelled faintly of starch and old perfume.I didn’t even think that I could get in and out as easily as I did. But judging by how things were, and the fact that almost everyone was scouting for Alaria, this was an easier part.Amelia looked smaller than I remembered, smaller than the part she’d once played in my life, her shoulders hunched like someone who expected a storm to break over her at any moment.“Amelia.” My voice was cleaner than I felt. Because I knew that with every passing second, things were going to be a lot more complicated from here.She started, then forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Claire.” Her hands twisted together. “I… I didn’t expect you.”I pulled her to a corner. The maids were loyal to me. At least, those within this wing. They wouldn’t say a word.“You didn’t expect me because you didn’t expect to be found,” I said. My heels made little sparks on the flagstones
