Princess Ilyana led Kael into her chambers, her grip firm on his arm. A tea tray sat on the table. The air smelled of honeysuckle and something sharper.

She placed her palm flat on his chest, her smile sweet. "Why so stiff, Kael? You don't have to act like I'm a stranger."

He stepped back, breaking contact.

"Princess, you mentioned my father in this. Let's get right to the point,"

Irritation flashed across her face. She waved a servant away, deftly slipping something onto the tray as they le

  • Bound to The Enemy of My Mate    Chapter 152 THE CRACKS WIDEN

    A week passed.The days in Stonehearth took on a strange rhythm. On the surface, everything looked normal. People worked the gardens, tended the forge, trained in the yard. Children laughed and ran through the square. The sun rose and set like it always did.But underneath, everyone felt it. The tension. The waiting. The secret that sat in the middle of everything like a stone in a stream, changing the flow of every conversation.Kael felt it most of all.He went through his days mechanically. He trained with Leo in the mornings. He ate meals in the guest house. He nodded to pack members who crossed his path. But his mind was never on any of it. His mind was always on the boy.Kieran.He had not seen him since that night. Elira made sure of it. Every time Kael walked through the square, someone was always between him and the royal quarters. A guard. A pack member. Sometimes Thane himself, standing like a wall of silent warning.But Kael still had the wooden wolf. He kept it in his poc

    Queen Lyra woke to screaming.She was out of bed before her eyes fully opened, her hand reaching for the knife she kept beside her sleeping mat. Rokan was already moving, his big body blocking the door as he checked for threats."Elira," Lyra breathed. The scream was her daughter's.They burst into the night. Torches were flaring to life across the square. People were running. Lyra's heart pounded as she pushed through the crowd, following the sound of her daughter's voice.She found Elira in the center of the square, her face white as bone. She was staring at something beyond the crowd. Lyra followed her gaze.Kael stood near the guest house. And beside him, small and still, wa

    The morning air was cool. Corin stood at the edge of the training yard, watching the younger children practice. Her mind was not on them. It was on the boy in the guest house.Three days had passed since the encounter on the wall. Three days since she had watched her sister's face go pale at the sight of Kael holding Kieran in the dark. Three days of tension hanging over Stonehearth like a cloud that would not move.Her mother, Queen Lyra, had given her a task."Show the prince around. Let him see our home. Let him see that we are people, not monsters." Corin understood the strategy. Make the boy comfortable, and he would be less likely to cause trouble. Make him an ally, and they might learn things about the capital.Corin was no

    The council meeting lasted longer than Kael expected. Queen Lyra asked sharp questions about the capital, about the King's health, about the Regency Council's true intentions. Kael answered with careful honesty. He did not lie. He also did not tell everything. Lyra's eyes missed nothing, but she did not push.Prince Leo sat quietly through it all. He spoke when spoken to. He did not fidget. Kael noticed the boy's eyes kept moving to Corin, who sat near the back of the room. Corin was watching Leo too. A small, strange thing. Two young people in a room full of wolves and politics.When the meeting ended, the sun was low. Lyra said they would talk more in the coming days. For now, the prince would rest, and Kael would be shown to the guest house properly.Kael walked back through the

    The forest road was quiet. Too quiet. Kael rode at the front of his column, his eyes moving over the trees. He saw no guards. He heard no warnings. But he felt it. The weight of being watched. The back of his neck prickled. Beside him, Prince Leo was silent on his horse. The boy had not spoken much for the last hour.“Stay close,” Kael said, his voice low. “Do not look afraid. Look straight ahead.”Leo gave a small nod. He was trying to be brave. Kael knew the feeling.They rounded a bend in the road, and the trees fell away. There it was.Stonehearth.The walls were high and solid, made of grey stone fitted together by skilled hands. They were not the rough walls of a fort, but the finished walls of a town that meant to stay. Smoke rose from several chimneys inside. The gates were made of heavy, dark timber, banded with iron. And they were open.That was the first message. We are not hiding.The second message was in the path that led from the open gates to a large wooden hall. On bo

  • Bound to The Enemy of My Mate    Chapter 147 Echoes from Stones

    In Stonehearth, peace was a daily practice. Elira’s mornings now began not with running, but with ruling. The ledger on her desk listed numbers: grain stored, timber cut, requests from human traders in nearby villages. The title of Princess was not a glittering crown. It was a heavy job. The safety and food for every person inside the walls depended on her choices.She pressed her fingers to her temple. A faint, wrong-feeling vibration buzzed at the edge of her mind, where her soul was tied to Thane’s. It was her own worry, leaking through.As if he felt it, Thane walked into their room. He carried two mugs of pine-needle tea. He set one before her, his fingers brushing her hand. The buzzing feeling calmed a little, just from him being near.“The east fence is stro
