The forest trembled with the clash of swords and steel. The moonlight fractured across the chaos, silver light flashing over snarling wolves and blades dripping with blood.

Nyra struggled in the grip of her captors, dragged through the undergrowth. Her wrists burned where the warriors’ claws dug into her skin, each tug tearing at her. She kicked and sank her teeth into the arm of one, but it only earned her a brutal strike to the ribs that almost knocked the air from her lungs.

“Keep her quiet!” one barked, yanking her upright. “The Alpha will gut us if we let her go.”

Nyra’s chest heaved. She had been so close to freedom and now, it was wrenched away.

Ahead, the battlefield spread like a nightmare. Ironclaw warriors clashed with the Blackfang’s, the place soaked in blood. Just like Lucian wanted.

The air stank of sweat, iron, and death. Blackfang's men fought with a savage ferocity, their howls rattling the trees, but the ambush had been brutal. For every Blackfang that fell, two Ir

    Kael said nothing as he escorted Nyra back to her chamber, his strides long and forceful.His hand never once left hers, though his grip was tight, restrained, as though he was holding himself back from tearing the walls apart with his bare hands.When they reached her room, he finally released her. The sudden absence of his touch left her Nyra's skin tingling, but his words that followed were enough to stop any lingering warmth.“Do not misunderstand,” Kael started, his voice low. “I brought you here only to keep you from bleeding all over the damned hall. Nothing more. Whatever you think this is–it isn’t.”Nyra froze where she stood, his words digging deeper than any shard of glass could.A part of her chest twisted, but she lifted her chin, masking the sting with a brittle coldness. “Don’t flatter yourself, Alpha. I wouldn’t mistake your pity for anything else.”The door opened then, and a maid entered quietly with a small kit. She bowed quickly and handed it to Kael before walking

    A few minutes later, Alaric returned to Kael’s chambers, his footsteps brisk yet careful. The moment he entered, Kael’s eyes snapped to him.“Why the hell did you allow her into my castle?” Kael demanded, his voice thunderous. The air seemed to thicken, charged with his fury.Alaric’s composure didn’t falter, though his jaw tightened. “I didn’t. She walked in of her own accord. I had no notice of it.”Kael’s hands curled into fists against the edge of his desk. His voice lowered, more dangerous than the roar that had come before. “Do you take me for a fool, Alaric? You think Kendall dares to barge in here without someone opening the doors for her?”Alaric’s eyes darkened, but he didn’t yield. “If you suspect me of betraying your word, then say it, Alpha. But I have no reason to side with her. We both know who pulled the strings. Lord Renek.”Kael’s jaw clenched so tightly it ached. His father. Of course. “She is not my mate,” Kael spat, his voice trembling with restrained rage. “And

    Days had passed but Nyra had seen little of Raina except when the she walked quietly into her chamber with trays of food. It felt like she was avoiding her.When a sudden knock sounded at her door that morning, Nyra rose cautiously. One of the maids stood with her head held high. Not a single sign of respect on her expression.“You are summoned for breakfast downstairs.”Nyra hesitated. It had been days since she had taken any meal outside the confines of her room. Still, she followed. Her steps echoed down the grand staircase into the long dining hall. The scent of roasted meat and fresh bread welcomed her first and her stomach growled.But then she noticed Kael's chair stood empty.Instead, Alaric occupied his space, already seated with a dish before him. His eyes lifted as she entered, the faintest flicker of acknowledgment crossing his stern features.Nyra moved quietly to her seat. The maids began to serve her, but she did not lift her utensils. She sat with her hands folded, her

    Raina froze, her hands hovering above Nyra’s bruised shoulder. The herbs in her palm slipped, falling soundlessly onto the floor. Her lips parted, but no words came, only the widening of her eyes that brimmed with disbelief.“Revenge?” she whispered with a fragile voice.Nyra blinked, as though she had said too much. Her throat tightened, and she pulled the shawl around herself.“I–” Nyra stuttered. Her heart pounded at her ribs, punishing. Zara growled through the mind link. ‘You cannot tell her about Renek. Not yet.’Raina’s trembling fingers reached out, gently brushing Nyra’s forearm as though trying to steady her. “What do you mean?” she asked softly. “Revenge on who?”Nyra’s breath stilled, her chest aching with the urge to confess. But if Raina knew the truth, she would only see the depths of Nyra’s obsession and how much she longed for Renek’s blood to get revenge for her mother, how much she had let vengeance consume her.Instead, Nyra shook her head faintly. “It doesn’t mat

    Nyra pressed her lips into a thin line as fear wracked through her, curling tight in her chest. How could she possibly tell him what she had just endured?She knew Kael could kill in that instant.His eyes burned with nothing but anger. The cursed link only increased his fury. His uneven breath fanned hot against her face, making her gasp.“I…” Nyra’s voice faltered.Rheya’s threat rang in her mind. ‘If you breathe a word of this to him, we are enemies forever.’ As much as she wanted to tell him the truth, she knew it would be reckless.Kael cursed violently and shoved himself off her, raking a hand through his hair. His veins stood out beneath his skin, the strain of control almost visible.“Say something,” he hissed, low. “Who did that to you? Did they threaten you?”Nyra almost flinched at the force of his voice. Still, she remained rigid on the bed, her eyes stung with unshed tears. Her body throbbed with every bruise.Before she could even gather herself, Kael seized her again, d

    Rheya's shoes struck against the flagstones as she descended the staircase, her fury carved into each step. In Kael’s weakness, she saw not vulnerability but opportunity. Opportunity to purge Nyra as she believed she poisoned him from within.“Find her,” she hissed to the guards stationed outside the wing. “Find the rogue. Search every hall, every corner. Drag her back to the dungeon where she belongs.”The guards stiffened under her command. One dared to ask, “By the Alpha’s orders, Lady Rheya?”She shot him a glare. “By mine. Do you question me?”The guard swallowed and shook his head quickly. “No, my lady.”“Good.” Her lips curved into a thin smile. “Chain her. Lock her where I can finish what I started.”The guards scattered into action, boots echoing through the corridors. Rheya turned, her body taut with restless energy. But her legs carried her elsewhere first.She swept into the maidens’ quarters. The room was still, including the few maids around. At the far end, Raina stood
