Daciana glances at me, and I see the fear there. The questions she’s afraid to voice.

“How long have you been having those dreams?” I ask softly.

Her breath catches.

“What do you mean?”

“The nightmares. The dreams about Elara. How long?”

Daciana is quiet for so long, I think she won’t answer. Then:

“Since the day I first saw you.”

Everything in me goes cold and hot at once.

“I usually wake up,” Daciana continues, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I took sleeping herbs last night. I couldn’

    The wolves settle around us, forming a protective circle. A few rest their heads on my legs. Others lean against Kieran’s back. We’re all mourning together.“She protected me,” I finally whisper when I can speak. My voice is hoarse, wrecked. “At all times. From the moment I arrived. She was always there, always watching over me. But I couldn’t protect her. I couldn’t—”Kieran says nothing. He just holds me tighter, one hand moving to my hair, his fingers gentle against my scalp.I cry until I have nothing left.“I will find whoever is responsible,” Kieran says, his voice low and deadly. “And I’ll kill them.”I want that. I want the person who did this to pay. But something doesn’t make sense.“Why target her?” I ask, my voice hoarse from sobbing. “Nobody knows I can communicate with these wolves. Nobody knows they—”“Somebody clearly does,” Kieran interrupts. His jaw is set, his eyes fixed on the grave. “They know of your roots.”I freeze. “My roots?”He hesitates, and I see a flicke

    Twenty minutes pass. Maybe more. The woods grow denser, darker. Part of me knows I should turn back, but I can’t shake the feeling that she needs me to follow. That something is wrong.Finally, she stops.She turns to face me, and my blood goes cold.Something is off. Her movements are too stiff, too mechanical. Her eyes—those eyes that always held such warmth, such intelligence—are dull now. Empty. It’s like looking into the eyes of a corpse.My wolf recoils inside me. I take a step back, my heart suddenly pounding.“Girl?” I ask uncertainly. “What’s wrong?”Then, I see the other wolves.They’re scattered around the clearing, maybe eight or nine of them. Pack members I recognize. But they’re not standing proud and alert like wild wolves should be. They’re lying down, subdued, pressed against the earth. One whimpers as I look at it. Another’s ears are flat against its head, its whole body trembling.Terror grips my throat.“No,” I whisper. “No, no, no.”The female alpha—not her anymor

    I stare at the basket sitting on my threshold.Roasted chicken, still warm, wrapped in cloth. Fresh vegetables. A small loaf of crusty bread. Yesterday, it was meat sandwiches with thick slices of beef. The day before, a lamb stew filled my room with its rich scent for hours.Kieran.I sigh and pick up the offering, retreating back into my room before anyone can see me. Before he can see me, if he’s somewhere nearby, watching.It has been a week since his confession. Seven days since he told me we’re fated mates and my entire world was upended.Seven days of hiding in this room, trying to ride out the effects of the bond that is suddenly awake between us.I set the basket on my table and sink onto the edge of my bed, pressing my hands to my chest. My heart feels different now. It’s as if it has woken from a long slumber, beating with a rhythm that isn’t quite my own. My wolf is different, too—excited, restless, happy in a way that makes my skin crawl because I know it’s not real.Thes

    “I was trying to keep you safe, Daciana.” I look her in the eyes as I speak. “In every lifetime, I have met you, fallen for you, built a life with you, and then lost you. No matter what I’ve done, no matter how hard I’ve tried, I have never been able to save you or our child.”The words scrape my throat raw. I lower my head to the edge of her knees, and my eyes burn with unshed tears. I blink hard against the pressure building behind them.“I couldn’t do it anymore,” I whisper against the fabric of her dress. “Watching you die over and over again. Being born with the memories of us. Every moment we shared. Every time I held you while you died.” My voice cracks. “I thought if I stayed away from you in this life, you would survive.”Silence. Just Daciana’s ragged breathing and the hammering of my own heart.Then, her voice, so small it nearly destroys me: “So, all this time, I’ve been a substitute for your first love.”My head snaps up. “No!”She flinches at my vehemence, and I gentle

I couldn’t wake up. I couldn’t…” She stops, swallowing hard. “I saw you in it. You were there, trying to reach her.”“What did you see?” The question comes out rough, but I need to know.As she begins describing the vivid details of the different dreams, details even I didn’t know, breathing becomes difficult. Every word is a knife sliding between my ribs.When Daciana finishes, she looks at me directly.“You’re not surprised, are you? Who is Elara? Why is she in my dreams?”“Have you had nightmares like

    “I’ll fix this,” I whisper against her temple. “I swear it.”Then, I force myself to leave.The hallways are dark and silent as I make my way through the wing. No servants are stirring yet; the castle sleeps in the profound quiet that exists only in the hours before dawn. The stones are cold beneath my bare feet.Artisem’s chambers are three doors down from mine. I don’t knock; we’re past such courtesies after years of friendship. I simply open his door and cross to where he is asleep, sprawled across his bed, one arm flung over his face.“Artisem.”He doesn’t move.“Artisem.”I shake his shoulder, and he bolts upright with a warrior’s instinct, hand already reaching for the blade he keeps beneath his pillow. Then, he focuses on my face and relaxes, though his expression shifts immediately to concern.“Kieran? What’s wrong?”His gaze drops, taking in my disheveled state: barefoot, wearing only hastily donned trousers.“Is it Daciana?”“I need you to contact the gypsy witches.”He star

    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

    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?”

    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 POVMy hands clench into fists by my side but my voice is carefully neutral. “Is that so? Maybe we should swing by your old pack. I’ll pluck their eyes out. If they wouldn’t let you read, they shouldn’t be able to, either.”“Wh–what?” Elara’s shocked voice has me pausing, and I glance down
