We walked to campus together afterward, the late afternoon sun stretching long shadows across the quad, and Nora kept firing off questions faster than I could properly answer them."Okay, but seriously," she said, "how does the whole daylight thing work? Because you've been walking around outside this entire time, and you didn't burst into flames or anything.""That's mostly a myth," I said. "Direct sunlight for extended periods isn't great, but a strol

Odessa's POVWe found ourselves back at the same fence where he first told me this couldn't happen again, back when duty and treaty law still stood between us like walls neither of us fully believed we could climb.Nothing stood between us now.No hostage exchange demanding my return. No wedding date creeping closer with every passing week. No council threatening war, no Julian showing up uninvited with veiled threats, no Corvin's cold, calculating presence hanging over every decision we tried to make together."Feels strange," I said, leaning against the fence beside Ronan, watching the pack train in the distance the way I had that very first morning weeks ago."What does?""This," I said, gesturing vaguely between the two of us. "Standing here without something urgent breathing down our necks. No crisis to solve, no treaty deadline counting down, nobody demanding my return before dawn.""Is that so bad?" he asked.

Ronan's POVI found my father in the study again, the same room where I told him I wasn't his heir that night, and something about standing in that exact spot made my chest tighten before either of us said a single word."You've been avoiding me," he said, not looking up from whatever paperwork he'd been reviewing."I haven't been avoiding you," I said. "I've been busy. There's a difference.""Is there?" he said, finally setting the papers down, studying me with an expression I couldn't quite place yet.I stood there a moment, uncertain how to start the conversation I'd been putting off for days now, ever since we all made it back safely from Vale territory."I owe you an apology," I said finally."Is that so?" he said, something careful in his tone."For what I said that night," I said. "Before we left. Calling myself no one's heir, walking out like the title meant nothing to me."He was quiet for a mo

Because you've been walking around outside this entire time, and you didn't burst into flames or anything.""That's mostly a myth," I said. "Direct sunlight for extended periods isn't great, but a stroll across campus isn't going to kill me.""Interesting," she said, nodding like she was filing that away for future reference. "What about garlic? Please tell me garlic actually works, because that would honestly be hilarious.""Garlic's just garlic," I said. "I eat it plenty. It doesn't do anything except make my breath smell like everyone else's after Italian night.""Damnit," she said, her grin gave away how much she was enjoying this entire conversation despite ever

Odessa's POVI met Nora at our usual coffee spot near campus, the same small table by the window where we spent countless afternoons complaining about professors and boys before any of this had ever started, and something about the familiarity of it made the whole conversation ahead feel even stranger than it already did."You look better," Nora said, studying my face carefully across the table. "Less like you're about to collapse, at least.""I've had a few days to actually sleep," I said. "Feels like a novelty at this point.""So," she said, wrapping both hands around her mug, "you said you wanted to talk properly. In person. No more half answers over the phone.""Yeah," I said, my stomach tightening despite everything I already survived. "You deserve the full truth, Nora. All of it, not just the pieces I've been feeding you whenever I needed help with something specific.""Okay," she said, something careful entering her expres

Odessa's POVI stayed at Ironhollow another week before I finally made myself go back to Vale territory, and even then, I nearly talked myself out of it three separate times before actually crossing the border."You don't have to do this," Ronan said, walking beside me toward the council buildings, his hand steady in mine despite the tension I knew he still carried every time we crossed back into this territory."I do," I said. "I keep thinking about how I felt when I found out my own parents had died and nobody ever told me the full truth. I don't want Julian's family living with that same kind of lie, even if some of them already knew more than they let on.""Even after everything he did?" Ronan said, not quite a question."Even after everything," I said. "He still didn't deserve to just disappear into some sanitized official story. His family deserves the truth, whatever they end up doing with it."We found the Castellan family seated in a formal meeting room near the council chamb

Odessa's POVWe crossed back into Ironhollow territory three days later, once the healers cleared all of us to travel, and the pack had already prepared the burial ground by the time we arrived, word apparently having traveled ahead of us about everything that happened in that stone cell.I recognized the clearing immediately. The same stretch of ground where they buried Finn months earlier, except now it held two more fresh markers alongside his, plain stones set into the earth without any of the grandness I imagined a place like the Vale might have given similar losses."Who else?" I asked Ronan quietly, my chest already tightening in anticipation of the answer."Two scouts," he said, his voice rough. "Wounded during the fight at the pack house before we even left for Vale territory. They held on longer than the healers expected, but they didn't make it through the night."I closed my eyes for a moment, the weight of it settling heavy over everything else I was already carrying.The
