DACIANA“I don’t understand.” I look between Lucian and Seth, bewildered. My heart pounds in my chest, and a sick feeling is spreading through my gut. “Have I done something wrong? I was very vigilant during my duties. If I’ve offended Astra in some way—”“Daciana, no.” Lucian’s voice is firm but kind. He exchanges a glance with Seth, then focuses on me. “Astra is very happy with your service. She doesn’t want you to leave her side, either. But we need a liaison between the Kingdom and Kieran’s pack, and he seems to prefer you.”The words make my chest tighten. Prefer me? What does that even mean?“Why?” The word comes out sounding smaller than it should. “Why does he prefer me?”Lucian and Seth share another look, and neither of them answers my question.Lucian’s jaw is set.“It’s a temporary assignment. And it’s final. You have no choice but to report to Kieran.”He says it like I’m being sent into danger, like this is some kind of punishment. My stomach twists. Seth won’t even look

KIERAN“Or you’ll be killed while they’re targeting her.” I let that sink in. “I didn’t come here for politics. I didn’t come here for alliances or trade agreements or diplomatic favor. I came to warn you because a prophecy revealed that the true queen would be murdered. That’s it. That was my only purpose.”“Until you saw Daciana,” Astra says.“Until I saw Daciana,” I confirm, my voice becoming rough. “Now, I have a stake in this. I cannot allow this prophecy to be fulfilled. At any cost.”Lucian’s eyes narrow.“Can prophecies be changed?”The question surprises me. Most people accept prophecies as immutable fate. But Lucian is asking if they can fight it.“Yes,” I say carefully. “But it’s not easy. Prophecies are like rivers. They have a natural course they want to follow. You can build dams, redirect the flow, but the water still wants to go where it was meant to go. It takes tremendous effort and constant vigilance to change a prophecy’s outcome.”“But it can be done,” Astra says

KIERANShe nods slowly, her fingers still on the plant.“I do. And I share them.” She pauses, then adds quietly, “Lucian also mentioned his suspicion about your connection to her.”My jaw tightens.“That’s—”“A private matter, yes. You made that clear.” She turns to look at me fully, her eyes direct but not unkind. “But Kieran, Daciana is more than just my guard. She’s my friend. One of the few people in this palace I trust completely.”“Which is why she needs better protection than she’s currently receiving,” I say, keeping my voice level.“Is that really why you’re so concerned?” Astra asks softly. “Or is there something else? Something you’re not telling us?”I meet Astra’s gaze steadily, weighing my options. The truth will change everything. But if I want to keep Daciana close, if I want to protect her properly, I have no choice.“I want Daciana to serve as a liaison for my delegation,” I say finally.Astra stiffens, her expression hardening.“A liaison.”“Yes. She would coordinat

But I know. The scent, faint as it is beneath the rot and blood, tells me everything. This is the one who hurt her. The one whose poisoned claws tore into her flesh.I think of the female alpha, one of the wild wolves that follow Daciana. The desperate way she clawed at my door, her whines frantic and urgent. I think of how I found Daciana, her body so cold, so badly injured, her blood everywhere. Too much blood. Far too much for anyone to survive.But she survived. Barely.Rage, white-hot and consuming, floods through me.I reach down, my claws extending, and plunge my hand into the corpse’s chest cavity. Its ribs crack under the force. My fingers close around what’s left of the heart, cold and lifeless, and I rip it free. It turns to paste in my grip, oozing between my fingers. I crush it completely, watching the remains fall to the forest floor like mud.“Let the animals have him,” I say coldly. “His face is beyond identification anyway.”Aaron and Ferin exchange glances but say no

The temperature in the room plummets. Lucian goes very still, his expression shifting from casual interest to sharp focus.“I’m afraid I don’t understand. Daciana was injured, yes, but tortured? What are you talking about? I’ve only heard she was hurt in an attack. I’ve been too busy with official duties to find out more.”My eyes cut to Seth. He stiffens.“You don’t know?” I ask, my voice quiet but dangerous. “Your Commander has been ruthlessly working a soldier under his command.”“Ruthlessly?” Lucian looks at Seth, confused.Seth’s jaw tightens.“Daciana concealed the details of an attack on Alpha Kieran two weeks ago. She was punished. I made her do night rounds.”Lucian goes still.“You made her do night rounds while she’s one of the Queen’s guards?”“It’s up to me how to discipline my people,” Seth says.“Daciana is not your people,” Lucian retorts, his voice sharp. “She is Astra’s people. She may be under your command, but her punishments have to be discussed with the Queen fir

I sit in the shadows of Daciana’s quarters, watching her sleep. The room is lit by a single candle, which casts flickering light across her pale face. She looks smaller somehow, curled on her side beneath the thin blanket, her breathing shallow and uneven.She’s growing fragile. Day by day, I watch her fade, and it tears something vital inside me.Her brow furrows suddenly, lips parting on a silent gasp. Her fingers curl into the sheets, knuckles white. I recognize the signs immediately. A nightmare taking hold, pulling her into whatever darkness haunts her sleep.I lean forward, extending my hand toward her. Magic flows from my fingertips, gentle as moonlight, wrapping around her consciousness like a protective cocoon. It’s an ability few possess, this capacity to touch another’s dreams, to soothe the troubled waters of their mind. I learned it years ago, practiced it in secret, never imagining I’d use it like this.For her.The tension bleeds from her features. Her breathing evens o

Kael's POV“Why are we in a human town?” Elara asks as we walk down the cobblestone street, her green eyes taking in the bustling marketplace around us. “The forest would be a more direct way to the capital.”I adjust the bag on my shoulder, eyeing her carefully. She has been like this for days—war

Kael's POVBut it’s her eyes that destroy me. Those bright green eyes that once sparkled with life and hope are now glassy and unfocused, the light in them fading like dying embers. One eye is blackened and nearly swollen shut. She is staring at nothing, seeing nothing, and I can feel through our p

Kael’s POVI’m silent, bored out of my mind. If it weren’t for the mystery surrounding the missing female shifter, I wouldn’t tolerate this gathering. But somebody here knows something. I’m certain of it.“And your tracking abilities! Papa says you’re legendary. I bet you could find anyone, anywher

Elara's POV And beside her, pale and sick-looking, stands Daciana. Her dark eyes meet mine for just a second before she looks away, guilt written across her face.“Sit,” Blackwood commands, gesturing to the empty chair beside Harper.I move toward his desk but remain standing. “What’s going on?”
