The lock clicked from the other side.

I froze Instantly. Kael immediately stepped in front of me, his body a wall between me and whatever waited beyond that door. "Whoever is in there," he said, voice dangerously calm, "come out."

Nothing answered him. Nadia raised her flashlight, the beam trembling slightly in her grip, and I could hear my own heartbeat pounding loud enough to drown out everything else.

Then came another sound. A slow scrape. Someone was moving behind the door, deliberate, unh

    SERENA POVKael's eyes turned completely black.Not dark gold, the color they went when his temper flared. Not the burning red I'd seen once, briefly, the night he almost lost himself to rage. Black. Total, bottomless black, like something had reached in and switched off the man I loved and left only the shape of him standing there.I'd watched him Frenzy before. I'd watched him break stone, cut down warriors twice his size, nearly tear into Adrian with his bare hands. But this was different, and the difference terrified me more than any of it. There was no anger on his face this time. No hesitation, no flicker of recognition when he looked at me.He looked through me. Like I was glass and something far more interesting stood on the other side."Kael?"Nothing.My mother slammed both palms against her glass wall hard enough that the sound cracked through the whole chamber. "Serena — get away from him, now!"I froze mid-breath. "Why?""Because the Frenzy has recognized the child!"The

    SERENA POVMy biological parents were alive.That single fact had cracked my entire sense of self down the middle, and I hadn't even finished processing it before the next blow landed.I stared at the photograph shaking gently in Kael's hand. My biological mother looked older than the fragments I carried of her — hair longer, face thinner, worn down by whatever years had passed. But I knew those eyes the instant I saw them. I'd seen them staring back at me in dreams I could never fully explain.Beside her sat my biological father. Both of them, in a bare concrete room. Alive. Held somewhere beneath Blackwood territory, of all the places in this world."Where did you get this?" My voice came out thinner than I wanted it to.Kael held out his phone. "An unknown number sent it.""When?""Five minutes ago."My hands wouldn't stop trembling. I turned to Adrian, and whatever easy charm usually lived on his face had gone completely, deadly serious."You told me you knew where my mother was b

    SERENA POVI stared at Tobi. "What did you just say?"He was still holding the pendant, eyes locked on my stomach like it might do something again. "The baby spoke to me."A shiver ran down my spine. Kael, already halfway to the door, spun back around. "What did you hear?""Not words." Tobi pressed a hand to his chest. "A feeling.""What kind of feeling?""Like something was telling me to protect Serena."My hand flew to my stomach on instinct. The baby kicked, hard, sharp, and I gasped.Kael's expression cracked open with worry. He came close but stopped just short of touching me. "Can I?"I nodded. His palm settled against my stomach, and for a few seconds, nothing. Then a kick, right into his hand. His eyes went wide, and something in his face softened in a way I hadn't seen from him in days."Our child."God help me, even after everything, watching him touch my stomach like that still undid something in my chest. I loved him. That was never the question. The question was whether l

    SERENA POV‘And it isn't the man written in your file.’I read Adrian's message three times. My hands wouldn't stop shaking.Across the room, Kael still held the file that claimed Adrian was my biological father. Tobi stared at the photograph, unmoving. My adoptive parents were nowhere in any of this — for once, I didn't even know which lie to go after first."Kael." My voice came out smaller than I wanted.He looked up. "What?"I held out my phone. His eyes moved over the message once, then narrowed. "You still trust him?""No." It came too fast, and he noticed — of course he noticed, he notices everything about me except the things I want him to miss."I don't know what I trust anymore," I admitted, looking away.He set the file down slowly. "That man has been sleeping with my wife.""I know.""And you still met with him.""Yes.""You still care about him."I swallowed hard. "Yes." The truth cost me something to say, but I was done lying to either of us.Kael looked at the photograp

    He stepped closer, close enough that I could feel the heat coming off him, the barely leashed tremor running under his skin."You don't have to lie anymore."My heart cracked. "I'm not lying, Kael. I'm just—I don't know how to feel both things at once. I love you. I never stopped caring about him. Both of those are true and I hate that they are.""Do you think I want to hear that?""No. But I think you deserve the truth more than you deserve my silence."Something flickered across his face—not quite agreement, not quite forgiveness. Then his Frenzy suddenly surged. His claws emerged, black and gleaming, and he grabbed the stone pillar beside him instead of me.The pillar cracked under his hand."Kael!""Stay back!"His voice became distorted, layered with something that wasn't entirely him anymore."I can control it."The crack spread through the stone, jagged lines racing toward the ceiling."I can control it!"He slammed his fist into the pillar again, and the sound echoed through t

    I stared at the photograph until my eyes began to hurt.The woman in it was holding my tiny hand. The man beside her had one arm around her shoulders. And the little girl between them was me.Not a photograph of me. Not someone who looked like me.Me.The silver bracelet around my wrist was the same one I'd seen in the old Blackwood photograph, the one Kael's family had kept locked away for decades. My breathing turned shallow."They're alive?"Kael stood beside me, staring at the picture like it might rearrange itself into something less impossible."I don't know.""That isn't what Adrian said."Kael's jaw tightened. "You believe Adrian?"The question came out sharper than he probably intended, and I felt it land somewhere under my ribs."I don't know who to believe anymore," I said.His expression fell, and I hated that. I hated putting that look on his face. But I couldn't pretend everything was fine just because he was my husband. Not after Adrian. Not after the lies. Not after di
