Alpha King Cassian's POV

I hadn't finished my second sentence to Thessaly when the alarm cut straight through it.

Every head in that hall turned at once. Thessaly's didn't. Her eyes stayed fixed on mine, already certain of what that sound meant.

"That would be your prisoner," she said. "Escaping."

"You don't know that."

"I know a man was confined for murder and arson two days ago. I know that alarm pattern too, since my own pack rings one just like it." She said it evenly, the words landing ha

    Colette's POVThe messenger didn't make it past the east gate this time.I heard the commotion before I understood what it meant, boots on stone, a voice shouting for the gate to hold, and by the time I reached the window a guard already had a stranger pinned face down in the dirt, a folded scrap of parchment torn from his fist and held up like evidence."For the lady Colette." The guard's voice carried across half the courtyard. "He wouldn't say who sent him."I didn't need him to say it. I already knew.Callum reached the gate before I did, and by the time I got there he'd already taken the note from the guard's hand, unread, and turned to find me in the gathering crowd like he'd been waiting three years for exactly this moment."You told me if another one came, I should bring it to you." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "It seems I no longer have the choice not to.""Good." He didn't hand it back. "Then we'll read it together."We didn't do it in the courtyard, in front of e

    Murielle's POV He laughed against my inner thigh and licked a long, filthy stripe through me.I cried out. His tongue was hot and slow, parting me, lapping up everything I was already giving him. He sucked my clit into his mouth and groaned like I tasted expensive. Two fingers slid into me without warning, curling, and I clenched around them so hard he made a pleased sound against me."That's it. Soak my face. I want my mouth dripping with you."He fucked me with his fingers and sucked my clit in the same rhythm until my thighs shook around his head. I grabbed his hair. He didn't stop. He flattened his tongue and worked me harder, wetter, messier, the sound of it obscene in the quiet cottage."Rook. I'm going to come.""Then come. Right now. On my tongue."I broke with his name tearing out of me. I came on his mouth so hard I soaked his chin, his lips, the stubble on his jaw. He licked me through it, greedy, and only eased off when I twitched and tried to close my thighs.He kissed t

    Murielle's POV He came for me before dawn again, but this time there was no urgency in it, no bells, no guards falling into step around us."Where are we going?" I asked, pulling a cloak over my shoulders while he waited by the door."Nowhere." He said it like the word itself was a gift. "That's the plan. One full day where neither of us has to be anything but exactly what we are right now."We left through the same servants' stair as always, but instead of the waterfall, he led me further, past the training grounds, past the tree line, until we reached a small clearing I'd never seen before. A cottage half-swallowed by ivy, clearly abandoned for years, but someone, likely him in the hours before dawn, had swept the floor clean and laid a fire ready in the hearth."You built this in a night?""I had help." He lit the fire with a flick of flint, and warmth began to spread through the small space almost immediately. "Soren thinks I've finally lost what little sense I had left, arrangin

    Murielle's POV I pressed myself against the doorframe just enough to see inside.Alizeh sat in the corner of her own treatment room, wrists bound to the chair with a strip of linen torn from her own bandaging supplies, a knife held loose but ready against her throat by a woman I'd seen a hundred times without ever once looking at properly. Greying hair pulled back plain. Hands that had wrung out cloths and swept floors in that wing for as long as I'd been recovering there. A face built for being overlooked."You." The word left me before I'd meant to say it.The woman's eyes flicked to me, quick and assessing. Her expression didn't change at all, no surprise, no fear, only a kind of patient interest, like I'd walked into a room she'd already accounted for before I arrived."The traitor herself." Her voice stayed calm, almost pleasant, the same tone she'd have used offering someone a second helping of soup. "I wondered when you'd catch up."Rook hadn't moved since the words I'd heard

    Murielle's POV I woke to the sound of my door opening without a knock, and had the water pitcher in my hand before I'd even fully placed who it was."It's me." Rook's voice, low, urgent in a way I hadn't heard from him even the night of the alarm. "Put that down."I set it back on the table, my heart still slamming. "What's wrong?""Nothing's wrong yet." He crossed the room to check the latch on my window, then the door, testing both like he didn't trust either to hold. "I want two guards outside this room tonight.""Rook—""Elle." He said my name like it cost him something to spend the second on it. "Not tonight. Please."Before I could push further, footsteps came fast down the corridor outside, too fast, boots hitting stone in a rhythm that had nothing calm left in it."My Ki—" A guard's voice, breathless, the word cut off hard enough that I heard the catch happen. "Rook. The archive door. It's the man we posted there ourselves. He's not answering, and the door's been left wide op

    Alpha King Cassian's POV Soren found me in the room I still hadn't fully stopped thinking of as a laborer's quarters, four days after the steward had finally put a name to that smudged entry, standing over a second report he'd pressed into my hands an hour ago that I still hadn't finished reading properly, my eyes catching the same three lines over and over without absorbing them."You've read that report five times." He didn't phrase it as a question. "And you still haven't said anything about it.""I'm working out how bad it actually is.""It's bad, my King." Soren's voice had none of its usual dryness. "The name the steward gave us checked out. The trade factor who left Silver Moon eighteen months after that payment was real, and he did resettle up north, officially. Unofficially, my own contact up there hasn't been able to find a trace of him since. And the man who replaced him in that position is still here.""Still handling the pack's ledgers.""Still handling the pack's ledger
