Lykans pov

I woke up to cold sheets.

At first, it didn’t register. My body was heavy, half-dragged under by sleep, the lingering warmth of her scent all around me.

But when I reached out—when my hand found nothing but emptiness—

everything inside me went still.

My eyes snapped open.

She was gone.

For a second I didn't move, didn't move.

Then Varyn surged under my skin, snarling, restless.

Find her.

I bolted upright, scanning the room. No sign of her. No sound of footsteps.

The fire was low in the fireplace. The window cracked open, letting in the sunlight.

Her scent Faded.

No.

The panic hit me faster than I could stop it.

A chill ran through me fear hit me. I've never been frightened like this before.

Had someone taken her? Had she run?

I shoved on my shirt, my boots, already moving before I realized it.

The halls were quiet, too quiet.

No alarm was raised. No guards shouting.

Good.

That meant if she left—she left by choice.

But that didn’t make it better.

I stormed through the co

    Elders’ POV The whispers had already reached us long before we set foot in the palace grounds. Rumors of destruction, betrayal, and an unsettling truth that refused to remain buried. We keepers of the ancient laws and guardians of the Northern Range Pack’s spiritual essence could not ignore the call of duty any longer. We arrived in silence, the air itself felt heavy, as though the palace was holding its breath. What used to be a vibrant place filled with life and laughter now stood as quiet as a graveyard. The once-bright banners that fluttered against the winds seemed dull, muted as though even the threads remembered the blood and chaos that had unfolded here. The scent of dust, smoke, and iron greeted us, unforgiving reminders of the battles that had shaken these walls. Our steps echoed softly on the stone pathways, the sound magnified in the emptiness. We paused briefly at the palace gates, taking in the broken spears scattered near the entrance, the cracked pillars, and t

    MILA’S POV The room still pulsed with tension long after Dino’s parting words sank into the walls like poison. His voice lingered in my head, low and dangerous, You have no idea how deep the rot goes. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to quiet the storm in my chest. He stood there so calm, so sure of himself as if he held every answer we didn’t even know we needed. His eyes, cold yet blazing with something primal, made my skin prickle. Who was this man, really??? A son of the late King, or just a cunning liar who knew how to wear a mask???? My gaze flicked to Dominic, and in a voice so low only he could hear, I whispered, Do you think his secret could be in the box??? Dominic’s jaw tightened. His eyes darted toward Dino, then back to me. Slowly, he nodded. I think so, Mila. If the King hid letters about James, what makes you think he wouldn’t hide something about him?? A shiver snaked down my spine. The box, the weight of its secrets still pressed against my though

    THE STRANGER’S POV DINO The silence that followed my command was sweeter than I expected. For a moment, everyone froze in a stillness so thick I could almost taste their fear, or was it surprise??? Slowly, they turned toward me. And the look on their face...oh, that was priceless. I saw it in their eyes, full of disbelief, then confusion, then something sharper, almost like recognition. They didn’t know me. Not really, but they saw him in me. The resemblance was undeniable, written across my face like a curse. The King’s face. Even James, from what I’d heard, didn’t mirror him so perfectly. And now, seeing the shock ripple across their features, I finally understood what the old woman meant when she whispered in my ear on those cold nights by the fire, Your blood will speak for you one day. It was speaking now, loud and clear. I let the silence stretch, savoring it, then I broke it with words I’d been rehearsing for years. I heard you invaded the palace. My voice

    Dominic’s POV For some reason, Mila and I had been wandering around the palace like two restless spirits, poking our noses into places we had no business being. The war was over, the palace was quieter now, but something about the stillness felt wrong, too quiet, too perfect. The rulers of the palace are no more, and the maids and guards, most have returned to their different places, out of fear of not surviving and engaging in a war not theirs. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that perfection is always a lie. Why do I feel like we’re doing something we’ll regret later? I muttered under my breath, trailing behind Mila as she led the way down a narrow hallway that smelled of dust and secrets. She threw me a mischievous smile over her shoulder, her brown eyes glinting in the dim light. Because you’re too scared to live a little. Scared???? Hell no, I scoffed, though the truth was, my gut told me this wasn’t a good idea. Cautious???? I guess is a yes and

    Elena POV War isn’t supposed to make me happy, it’s meant to leave you empty, torn, and drenched in grief. But as I stood among the ruins of what used to be a kingdom of betrayal, staring at the blood-streaked stones and the silenced screams of those who had once dared to break us, I felt something entirely different. Fulfillment. A strange sense of relief coursed through me like a gentle wind cutting through the smoke that lingered in the air. For the first time in what felt like centuries, I could finally breathe. The chains of fear, the constant whispers of betrayal, the dread that had shadowed my every step, they were gone. We had survived, we had won. I closed my eyes briefly, inhaling deeply as the breeze brushed my face, carrying the bitter scent of ash and iron. My wolf stirred within me, a low hum of satisfaction vibrating through my veins. We did this, together, for our pack, for our future. We can now live happily without fear for anyone, I thought, a soft, weary smil

    Evelyn’s POV The air was thick with tension, the metallic scent of blood lingering as the guards carried Sophia away. Her cries echoed through the palace walls like a ghostly reminder of everything that had happened tonight, everything I had caused. My heart pounded heavily in my chest, the weight of my sins pressing against my lungs until breathing felt like a punishment I didn’t deserve to escape. I stood frozen, watching her fragile body being dragged across the marble floor, her hair matted with sweat and tears. She was broken, but in that moment, I realized I was worse. At least Sophia had been a victim, I was the architect, the main engineer of this chaos. The one who championed evil, nurtured it, and let it flourish under my command. A sharp sting tore through my throat as guilt consumed me whole. James, my beloved son, my pride, my reason for living, is gone. Buried under the very weight of my greed and ambition. I thought I was paving a golden path for him, but instead, I
