Lucian’s suspicion had been a quiet, crawling thing at first—something he brushed off as paranoia born from sleepless nights and too many whispered councils. But the more he watched Nathan and Silas, the harder it became to ignore. The way Silas lingered in the study longer than necessary after delivering messages. The way Nathan’s eyes flicked toward the window whenever Silas passed through the courtyard. It wasn’t affection—not exactly—but it was… trust. Dangerous, private trust.

So Lucian be

    The room was cold. The fire had burned low. Alessio rose from his chair, his hand reaching out, his face softening with something that looked like grief and understanding and the instinct to comfort.Lucian raised his hand.Alessio stopped."Don't." Lucian's voice was flat. "I don't need—" He stopped. Swallowed. "Ezekiel had a message. Before he—" He couldn't finish.Rowan's hand tightened on Damian's. "What message?"Lucian moved to the window. His back was straight. His hands were clasped behind him. His face was turned toward the dark."He said Edric Holt might be able to help. The old Holt. He said—" Lucian's voice faltered. "He said to tell him that maybe now will be different. That maybe now we can change everything for the better."Alessio was very still. "Edric?""He said the old Holt would understand." Lucian turned. His face was composed, his eyes dry, his voice steady. "I'll send word. Through Corvis. She can reach him faster than any rider."Alessio nodded slowly. "I'll go

    There was a soft glow around Ezekiel. It made him look ethereal, almost unreal—a man made of light and shadow, caught between worlds. His hands were shaking now, his fingers pressed to Damian's temples, his eyes screwed shut, his lips moving in words no one could hear.He lost his balance.His body tipped forward, his weight shifting, his hands slipping. He would have fallen—would have collapsed onto Damian's chest—but a hand caught him. Tight. Firm. Held him in place.Lucian.Ezekiel did not glance at him. Did not acknowledge him. Did not pause.He continued.Sweat soaked through his robes, the thin fabric clinging to his body, hiding nothing. His breath was uneven, ragged, like he had been running for miles. His face was pale, his lips nearly blue, his hands trembling."No," he gasped. "I'm almost there. Almost done."Lucian's grip tightened. He did not pull Ezekiel away. He held him steady.The glow flickered. Dimmed. Brightened.Ezekiel's head lolled to the side. His eyes were ope

    Rowan moved. His hands were shaking, his legs unsteady, his mind still caught in the cold of that place, in the white of that dress, in the sound that was not a sound. He pulled on his trousers, Damian's shirt, anything to cover himself, anything to be presentable. He did not care how he looked.The door opened. The corridor was empty. The guards were stationed further down, away from the king's chambers, giving them privacy, giving them space."HEALER!" Rowan's voice cracked. The guards turned. They stared. "Call a healer. Now. And Lucian. And Alessio."They did not move. They were young, both of them, new to the castle, new to the weight of guarding a king. They had not seen the walls shake. They had not heard the sound that was not a sound.

    After dinner, Alessio and Lucian lingered.The fire had burned low. The servants had cleared the plates. Wine had been poured, then left untouched. Alessio was staring into the flames, his face soft in the fading light. Lucian was watching him, something unreadable in his expression.They did not speak. They did not need to.Across the hall, Damian rose. Rowan rose with him. They left together, their footsteps light, their shadows merging in the torchlight.The door closed behind them.The chamber was warm. The fire had been lit before they arrived, th

    Alessio left, the door closing softly behind him.The study settled back into silence. The fire crackled. The shadows stretched. Rowan sat at the desk for a moment longer, his hand resting on the open page, his eyes tracing the last lines he had read. He was not ready to leave. He wanted to stay, to read, to let the hours slip away in the quiet of the room that had become his.But Lucian had said dinner was in an hour. And Damian would be there. And Alessio would be there, washed and changed and pretending he did not smell like a horse. And Lucian would be there, sharp and bright and terrible.Rowan smiled. He found a marker—a strip of leather, soft and worn, that he had found in the desk—and slid it between the pages. The book closed with a soft thump. The sound echoed in the

    Damian woke slowly, drifting up from a depth of sleep he hadn't known he was capable of. The first thing he felt was warmth. The second was weight. Rowan was still in his arms, pressed against his chest, his breath warm against Damian's throat.But Rowan was awake.Damian could tell by the stillness, the quiet awareness in the way his body fit against Damian's. The way his eyes were open, watching."You finally decided to wake up," Rowan said.His voice was light, teasing, but there was something underneath it—relief, maybe. Or gratitude.Damian closed his eyes again. His arms tightened, pulling Rowan closer, pressing him against his chest like he could m

    Damian guided Nathan slowly toward the bed and helped him sit down. Nathan’s fingers caught his hand before he could pull away, tugging weakly until Damian sat beside him on the edge.For a moment, neither spoke. Nathan’s breath came uneven, still recovering from whatever storm had shaken him, but

    Nathan lingered in the doorway, still bleary from sleep, watching Ivy chatter away with animated hands and bright eyes while Damian—Damian Vitale, the man whose glare could freeze seasoned generals—nodded like she was imparting ancient wisdom instead of gossip about the neighbor’s cat and a dress s

    The storm had quieted to a silver drizzle by the time Silas returned.He slipped in through Nathan’s balcony again, boots dripping faintly onto the stone. Nathan was awake—he hadn’t slept at all, pacing in his nightshirt, his eyes raw from hours of anxious thought.When he saw Silas, he nearly sagg

    Damian turned, meaning to leave—but Nathan caught his wrist before he could take a single step.“Please,” Nathan whispered, voice raw.Damian didn’t turn.“No.”It was a single word, quiet but absolute.Nathan’s breath hitched. A tear slipped down his cheek before he could stop it. He stepped clos
