The cold room beneath the Moon Palace was dark and damp, its stone walls coated with frost. Chains hung from the ceiling, swaying slightly whenever the cold wind slipped through the cracks in the walls.

Every breath turned into mist.

No sunlight reached this place. No warmth. Nothing but darkness.

Selene lay unconscious on the stone floor.

Alaric stood in front of her, and I stood beside him, with two royal guards behind us.

If there was ever a time for me to pity Selene, this was it. She looke

    The cold room beneath the Moon Palace was dark and damp, its stone walls coated with frost. Chains hung from the ceiling, swaying slightly whenever the cold wind slipped through the cracks in the walls.Every breath turned into mist.No sunlight reached this place. No warmth. Nothing but darkness.Selene lay unconscious on the stone floor.Alaric stood in front of her, and I stood beside him, with two royal guards behind us.If there was ever a time for me to pity Selene, this was it. She looked even more haggard than she had when I saw her earlier that evening.Cold seeped through every corner of the room. It crawled beneath my clothes and settled into my bones.I was cold, and I knew staying here wasn't good for my health, especially while I was still recovering.But I wouldn't leave."You should go back, Aria." Alaric's eyes remained on me. "This isn't good for your health. You're still recovering."I shook my head vehemently."No. I refuse to believe Selene will take me down twice

    Tears flowed down my face, my entire body trembling with fear.A sharp pain tore through my stomach. A strangled cry escaped my throat as I clutched my belly with both hands.Before my knees could give out, Alaric caught me.Panic flashed across his face."What's going on, Aria?""Se... Selene."My speech slurred, and the world around me faded into darkness."Aria!""Somebody, the Luna has fainted!"That was the last thing I heard.When I opened my eyes again, several physicians and mages stood around me, running their hands over glowing diagnostic orbs and chanting ancient incantations."If the Imperial Luna doesn't wake up, I'll have your heads."Alaric's roar echoed through the palace.Everyone scattered immediately, scrambling to do something useful.The room was tense enough to suffocate someone. Despite the temperature being below twenty degrees, sweat covered everyone's faces.My vision slowly cleared.Then my eyes drifted toward the floor.Blood.Traces of it led from the door

    I wasn't going to waste another thought on Vale. I had enough things keeping me busy already.Aveline's constant scheming.The Grand Luna Queen's endless attempts to put me in my place.And Alaric's annoying habit of pissing me off at every opportunity.There was already too much on my plate.Hurried footsteps pulled me from my thoughts. I turned just in time to see Elena practically running toward us, her breathing ragged."My lady, there's a problem."I caught her before she could crash face-first into my chest."Calm down, Elena. This is a palace. People might think we're locals."Her eyes met mine, and whatever humor I expected to find there was absent. Fear was written all over her face."This isn't the time to make jokes." She struggled to catch her breath. "Selene Ward is here. She requested to see you."For a moment, my heart stopped.Then it started again, beating so rapidly I could feel it in my throat.Cassius's hand remained firmly around me, keeping me steady as his gaze s

    "What do you mean? Who is Maelvor Fenwick?" He scoffed nonchalantly and threw himself onto the bench, sitting down like a baby throwing a tantrum. "Aria, you're suspecting me now?" I scoffed so loudly that his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "You're a cold-blooded killer, Cassius. Who doesn't know you? And you want me to trust you? Who are you tormenting this time around?" I stood in front of him like a schoolteacher ready to scold an unbothered student. "You weren't feeling well a few minutes ago, and now you're fine?" I sneered. "Don't change the topic now!" He shrugged, a gentle smile spreading across his face as he pulled me down to sit beside him. His hand slowly patted my head. I immediately flicked it away. "I'm a fucking adult. Stop patting my head." He chuckled, resting his hand lazily against the back of the bench. But his smile slowly faded. And I knew instantly that something wasn't right. "Killian confessed." My eyes remained fixed on his face as a

    "Lord Cassius! Save my lady. She's in agony!"I hadn't even fully registered my shock when Elena's hollow cry for help came dripping into the room.I held my expression together as I dragged myself up from the bed, trying not to break character.Elena was so committed to the act that I almost thought it was real."What's going on here?"Cassius roared again.This time, the Grand Luna Queen and the physicians instantly went pale as silence fell over the room.Aveline's knees shook as she stood in the corner. Fear gripped her, and I could see tears welling in her eyes.I gripped the edge of the bed, my face twisted in pain as I turned toward him. I didn't want to disappoint Elena at this point. We were already committed."Cassius."My voice came out low and deliberate as my body trembled as I reached toward him."Aria, darling."He hurried toward me and took my hand."Aveline dared to touch the heirs of Ironfang."His eyes turned cold. I could feel his anger pulsing through the room as

    “What do you mean she came here for me? My pregnancy was only announced yesterday.”Mother smirked.“You’re the Imperial Luna, and news about the royal household runs like wildfire.”She paused, letting the silence settle between us. Her hands tightened around mine, and small tears spilled from her eyes.“I can’t always protect you from Isolde—”My phone suddenly rang on my lap, cutting her off.I looked down.Elena.It was only six in the morning. I had gone through the entire night without sleeping, and now my eyes were burning from exhaustion.“Elena.”“You have to come to the Moon Palace now. Lady Aveline is in your room.”Her voice was tight with anger, immediately putting me on alert.My brow furrowed.“What’s she doing there?”Elena’s disgust was obvious in her voice.“She was given the room to recover by Her Highness.”A small smile touched my lips.This damn Highness was really trying my patience.I had barely managed to get through everything that had happened, and now they
