NERO POV

I watched them walk her out of the courtyard.

Her back straight. The guards on either side not holding her — she was been dragged. She'd understood something in the moment I looked at the wall. She was trusting it.

That cost me more than the alternative would have.

My hand found the stone pillar beside me. Brief. Just steadying something.

Then I let go.

Anatoria caughtmy eye across the grounds.

Something moved in her face. Uncertainty. Brief but real.

"One minute it's a burial," Abel

    REMI POVThe holding room was nicer than I deserved, given what I'd done.Stone walls. Yes. Bars on the door. Yes. Chains bolted to the floor in the corner — decorative or functional, hard to tell, old enough that they predated whatever this room's current purpose was.But also a chair. A real one. A small table. A blanket that someone had brought specifically, because it didn't match anything else in the room.Nero had done that.He'd sent me here and then made it livable and I couldn't decide if that was worse or better.I paced.Six steps one way. Turn. Six steps back.I wasn't waiting for him.I told myself this several times.The chair was at the edge of the room and I sat in it occasionally and then stood up and paced again because sitting felt like giving in.I was not waiting for him.The sounds of the palace came through the bars. Distant. Wedding preparation. Someone calling instructions. Tomorrow. The wedding. All the wolfs arriving.I sat in the chair.Stood up immediatel

    Kade's drink was on the table. He'd set it down carefully." You’ll use the attack as a cover and leave. You and Remi."Abel's face was doing something I hadn't seen it do in years. The specific expression of someone recalibrating what they understood about the person in front of them."You're going to fake an attack at your own wedding," Abel said slowly. "To start a war council and escape with your lover.""I'm going to allow the Chimera's people to expose themselves at my wedding," I said. "Which isn't fake. It's just. Well timed. And remi needs to be trained, To be ready for revenge""How long?" Kade said."As long as it takes," I said. "Until her wolf is trained. Until her runes are stable. Until she understands what she carries." I held Kade's eyes. "Until she can fight him. Really fight him. Not just survive him.""The distinction is philosophically interesting," Kade said. Almost to himself."Something Mitch would say," Abel noted."We've been spending too much time with Mitch.

Walking beside him toward the palace. "Next it's a wedding. One minute you're drooling at Remi across a dinner table and the next you're letting mother drag her to the dungeon." He looked at Nero. "Difficult to keep up with you.""Then stop trying.""Why are You letting them take her," Abel said. Beside me. Quiet for once."Its best for now.""Mother finally got what she wanted.""No." I looked at the courtyard. At the flowers still arranged around Isolde's grave marker. At the pack wolves

    Remi POVAbel led me through the palace. A route I didn't know. Through the back gardens. The side passage. Out through a door I'd never used.Into the courtyard.I stopped.The whole courtyard.Flowers everywhere. White and pale yellow and the deep blue ones I'd seen growing wild in Riverside my whole childhood. Someone had known. Someone had asked or remembered or found out what flowers meant home to a Cross woman.A space in the center. A beautiful grave marker — stone, carved, her name on it. Isolde Cross. No dates. Just the name and below it: She chose to stay.She chose to stay.I put my hand over my mouth.Wolves in a ring around the outside. Not in uniform. Just present. Heads down. And at the far side.Nero.He hadn't slept. I could see it from across the courtyard. The particular look of someone who had been awake long enough that even standing still cost something.He'd done this.All of it. This morning. Before I woke up.Abel walked me to him. Nero took my hand. Didn't s

    REMI POVNobody would look at me.That was the first thing.I came downstairs in white — the senior maid had laid it out, simple, clean — and every person I passed found something else to look at. The wall. The floor. The window. Anywhere but me."What's the grave for?" I asked the first maid I found.She looked at her hands. "I'm sorry my lady I have to—" And she was gone.I asked a guard.He straightened and looked at the wall behind my head.I asked Kade.He looked at me — really looked, with something in his face that was its own kind of answer — and then said "just wait" and walked away.I stood in the corridor.The palace was in motion around me. People fixing things. Moving things. The sounds of aftermath everywhere.And nobody would answer a single question."REMI."I turned.Pipper. Running at full speed from the direction of the east wing. Armor she was definitely not supposed to be wearing — small, borrowed, clanging slightly with every step.She hit me. Both arms. Solid."

    Nero POVSera's door was three corridors from the cell.I could feel her before I reached it.The specific warmth of a witch who had used a significant amount of power in the last twelve hours and was still radiating the edges of it.I opened the door.She was closing a bag.Didn't stop when I walked in.Didn't turn."I know why you're here," she said."Then explain it." My voice came out louder than I intended.She stopped.Put the bag down."Lower your voice," she said. Flat.I realised I'd raised it.I lowered it.She turned.Her face. The look she gave me that she'd been giving me since we were young. The one that said I see you completely and I'm not impressed by the performance."The moonstone witch," I said. "The one who helped them escape the tunnel. Who are they. And why didn't you tell me.""Because I wasn't certain," she said. "A witch leaving a coven isn't automatically a betrayal. They fall in love. They follow partners. They make choices I don't always agree with but the
