Asher’s POVTime made no goddamn sense in the dark.I sat on the freezing stone floor, leaning the back of my head against the damp wall of the holding cell. My stomach was a hollow, aching void. My ribs throbbed a steady rhythm from Vaelin’s fists, but I shoved the sensation into a mental box and locked it tight. I was done hurting. I was done being a fragile, broken victim to these Alpha bastards.I wanted Xorax dead. I wanted Vaelin gutted. I wanted Kaelen to watch his empire burn to the bedrock. I wanted to dance in the fucking ash of this royal house.The deadbolt snapped.The iron door groaned open. Before I could even blink, the shadows surged into the cell. Black tendrils whipped through the air, snapping around my wrists and ankles. The magic solidified instantly, freezing into shadow-forged collars that glowed a faint, sickly blue.Two Vanguard guards stepped into the cell. They grabbed me by the upper arms and hauled me up.My legs gave out. The guards didn't care. They dra

Vaelin’s POVI slouched deep in the oak chair, rolling a cup of dark wine between my knuckles.Across the stone table of the High Council room, Kaelen paced a trench into the floorboards. He kept glancing at the damn brass clock on the wall, then glaring at the vacant iron seat at the head of the table.Xorax was missing. He hadn't shown his fucking face ever since he walked out of the first trial."We don’t need to wait for a bride to decide who rules the West," Kaelen snarled. He slammed both hands onto the table, leaning over the High Elder. "Start the trial."The old bastard wiped a bead of sweat from his wrinkled forehead. "Prince Kaelen, the King explicitly ordered the Northern princess’s arrival before the Dominion Trial could…""My father isn't here!" Kaelen roared. The sound cracked like a whip in the quiet room. Kaelen pointed a shaking finger at the empty royal chair. "But his throne is. And so are we. Start the trial."I took a slow drag of my wine, hiding a smirk behind t

Asher’s POV"Because," I choked out, a jagged smile twisting my lips, "you are the fucking bastard that stole my wolf."Xorax stared at me. His golden eyes didn't widen. His grip around my throat didn't falter or twitch. For three seconds, he just searched my face, unaffected by the accusation. There was no guilt. There was no shock. Then, he opened his hand.I dropped. I hit the stone floor on my hands and knees, gasping as the air rushed back into my crushed windpipe. The freezing temperature of the study burned the back of my throat. The winter-bane vapor, thick and bitter in the enclosed room, stung my watering eyes.My palms hit the shattered remains of the poison vial.Jagged shards of glass bit deep into my hands, piercing the skin. The clear, concentrated winter-bane paste mixed instantly with my own blood, seeping into the open cuts. A sharp, stinging fire raced up my wrists, but I couldn't stop coughing long enough to pull my hands away from the debris. Every convulsion o

Kaelen’s POVThe roar of the colosseum was a physical force, crashing against the packed dirt of the pit.I stepped out of the iron portcullis. The soles of my steel-plated boots ground into the blood-stained sand. The air was choked with the smell of cheap ale, burning pitch from the wall sconces, and the sour sweat of fifty thousand spectators screaming for a slaughter.I didn't care about the crowd. I didn't care about the crown.I gripped the leather-wrapped hilt of my sword so tightly my forearms cramped. My mind was packed with the memory of Asher sobbing in that freezing alcove. His torn silk. The scent of my brother’s pheromones soaked into his pale skin.I was going to sever Vaelin's head from his shoulders and leave it in the dirt for the crows.I stopped in the center of the pit, rolling my stiff neck, and let my gaze drift upward.My eyes scanned past the screaming vassal lords in the lower rings, traveling up to the elevated royal box built into the northern wall. Two Va

Asher’s POVI pushed the black iron door just wide enough to slide my bruised body through, stepping over the threshold and pulling it shut behind me. I grabbed the inner deadbolt and slid the metal home. It locked with a solid, satisfying thud.The air inside the study was freezing, biting straight through my thin tunic.The vast room was bathed in the eerie, pulsating glow of blue braziers. I inhaled slowly, expecting the sharp, earthy scent of the winter-bane vapor. It was there, hanging in the cold air like an invisible fog. It was working.I reached down to my boot, wrapping my fingers around the hilt of my stolen dagger. I pulled it free, turning around to face the center of the room.My boot caught on the edge of the thick carpet.I staggered backward, hitting the iron door. My heart stuttered, executing a violent, hollow misfire against my ribs. The breath completely vanished from my lungs.King Alpha Xorax was sitting in a high-backed velvet chair in the corner of the study.

Asher’s POVI stood in the corner, pressing my back flat against the cold stone wall. A sharp cramp twisted low in my gut. I braced my hand against a wooden crate, grinding my teeth together until the spasm passed. Every shift of my weight pulled at the torn muscles in my thighs and back. My body was a bruised, hollow shell, but I didn't have the luxury of resting.Footsteps scraped against the stone stairs.Lyra slipped into the cellar, carrying a single, unlit candle. Right behind her came the old armory Beta with his scarred face, and the kitchen cook who had lost two sons to the branding pits. They gathered around the empty wooden crate in the center of the room.The blacksmith reached into his leather apron. He pulled out a small glass vial filled with a thick, colorless paste and set it on the wood."Concentrated winter-bane," the old Beta whispered, his voice a low rasp. "Boiled down twice. It has no smell and no taste."I stepped out of the shadows. I ignored the shooting pain
