The ancient iron war sirens howled high above the fortress, sending violent vibrations through the stone walls of the tower. Red warning flares painted the room in a bloody crimson light, revealing smoke rising over the distant tree lines.Valerius was moving fast, throwing open heavy weapons chests and strapping silver-bladed daggers across his chest. "We move to the lower armory in three minutes," he growled, his voice tight over the roaring sirens. "Lucien's beasts will breach the perimeter wall before midnight."Aria grabbed a set of leather armor straps from the table, her hands shaking as her wild Eclipse power flared uncontrollably under her skin. Her chest heaved, adrenaline surging through her blood like fire."Is that why you kept me hidden?" Aria snapped, the raw fear in her voice turning into sharp aggression. "Because of Layla? Because you failed to protect your fiancée when Lucien killed her back in the bunker, and you assumed I would die just as easily?"Valerius froze

The heavy bronze doors of the Grand Council Chamber did not just open, King Valerius threw them back with enough force to echo like thunder through the obsidian hall.Silence fell over the room instantly. Lord Julian stood at the head of the long stone table, a scroll detailing the emergency Royal Extraction Protocol gripped tightly in his hands. Beside him stood Selene, her chin held high in arrogant victory, flanked by heavily armed noble guards.Valerius stepped into the hall, his imposing aura radiating a crushing pressure that made the surrounding guards flinch. Directly behind his shoulder stood Aria, keeping close to his shadow. She pulled back her velvet hood, letting her dual-ringed Eclipse eyes blaze in the torchlight. The raw gold and silver magic spilled across her vision, burning wild and completely unpredictable. She squeezed her fists tight at her sides, fighting to keep the unfamiliar power pulsing in her veins from overflowing.A collective gasp rippled through the Co

The air in the subterranean Vault Chamber was suffocating, thick with the acrid stench of burned ozone and dark, decaying magic.Valerius stood over the shattered pedestal, his jaw locked tight as his golden amber eyes swept over the scorched runes on the floor. Beside him, Lord Kaelen wiped sweat from his wrinkled brow, while Lady Seraphina stared at the empty space where the kingdom’s deadliest relic had rested moments ago."Nine layers of blood-bound wards," Valerius growled, his voice a low, terrifying rumble that vibrated through the stone floor. "Disabled without a single alarm going off. This was not an infiltration from the outside. It was a handed key.""The Eye of Malakor can corrupt an entire wolf core within days, Your Grace," Lady Seraphina warned softly, her dark eyes flashing with sharp concern. "Whoever took it does not just want to fight you. They want to tear the capital down from the inside.""Search every noble carriage leaving the grounds," Valerius commanded, tur

The scream echoed off the stone walls of the tower, sharp and laden with agonizing heat.Valerius moved before the sound could leave the room, his golden dragon wolf aura surging outward like a tidal wave to smother the sound waves and muffle the castle's warning wards. He slammed the heavy bolt into place and turned back toward the bed.Aria was writhing against the sheets, her skin flushed a feverish pink. Her hands clawed at her collar, gasping for air as her dual-ringed Eclipse eyes blazed in the dim light. It was a primal, undeniable heat. Because her core had been weak and dormant for years, she had never experienced her wolf's awakening cycle. The sudden flood of purifying power had violently triggered her first rut, and her body was demanding her mate.At first, Valerius held back, gripping the edge of the mattress as he fought his own roaring instincts. He did not want her first time to be a frantic blur driven purely by heat."Valerius," she whimpered, pouting as her hands t

The heavy oak door rattled against its iron hinges as the head of security stood breathless in the threshold.Valerius did not move away from Aria’s bed immediately. His thumb remained resting against the faint, warm pulse at her wrist, feeling the quiet hum of her hidden core beneath her skin. Slowly, he pulled his hand back and turned toward the doorway, his eyes narrowing into cold slits of amber."Say that again," Valerius commanded, his voice dropping an octave into a low, rumbling growl."The perimeter wards at the eastern city gate, Your Grace," Captain Vane stammered, wiping sweat from his forehead. "The barrier didn't buckle from an attack. It dissolved from the inside out. The magical signature left on the gate mechanism was an inverted royal seal.""Lucien," Valerius muttered under his breath.A deep, suffocating tension seized Valerius’s chest. The royal passkeys were bound strictly to the bloodline and locked in the royal vault beneath the Council’s jurisdiction. Lucien c

The air in the grand courtyard was thick with the scent of ozone and copper. Beyond the heavy iron gates leading down to the subterranean trial grounds, a frantic crowd of royal guards and nervous Selection candidates had gathered. Rumors of dark magic leaking from the sealed depths had spread through the palace like wildfire, leaving everyone in a state of high tension.When the heavy iron doors ground open, silence fell over the yardKing Valerius stepped into the sunlight, his face a mask of cold granite. In his arms lay Aria, pale and unresponsive, her head resting against his chest.Royal physicians swarmed forward, their light-enchanted instruments glowing as they scanned her slumped form. Before the chief healer could speak to the crowd, Valerius leaned in, his voice dropping to a harsh, private whisper that only the physician could hear."Her core is shattered," Valerius commanded, his dark gold eyes locking onto the healer's in an implicit threat. "She is an unranked girl who
