Kael POV

"She is standing in the center of the lobby, Alpha," Marcus says, holding the tablet in front of my desk while the video feed plays on a loop. "The pack elders are demanding her arrest."

I do not look up from the leather ledger on my desk, though my hand freezes over the open page.

"Let the council handle the clinic," I say, my voice flat, devoid of a single drop of warmth. "It is not my concern."

"They are revoking her license, sir," Marcus adds quietly, his voice cautious. "Elder Tho

    Serena POV"He's waiting for you in the west garden," Maren whispers, her hand clutching my arm as she pulls me into the dimly lit stone corridor. "Ethan risked his life to sneak past Kael's perimeter guards, Serena. You have to hear him out.""I told you I have nothing to say to Ethan," I say, pulling my arm out of her tight grip. "If Kael's sentries catch him on pack grounds, they will kill him on sight.""He doesn't care!" Maren lies smoothly, her eyes glittering with bright, fake emotion in the torchlight. "He said he would rather die at Kael's feet than live without you! He just wants five minutes, Serena. Just give him five minutes near the rose arbor, or he's going to turn himself in to the guards!"My wolf growls low in my chest, scenting the sour stench of desperation beneath her sweet chamomile mask."Fine," I say coldly. "Five minutes.""I'll watch the corridor for you," Maren purrs, stepping back with a soft, triumphant smile that makes my skin crawl. "Go quickly."I walk

"Elder Thomas claims she betrayed the pack."My human face remains an unreadable block of ice, but inside my chest, my wolf-spirit violently thrashes against my ribs.Liars! the beast roars through our mental link, his dark, feral aura flaring so hot it singes my lungs. They are trapping her! She didn't leak those files! Maren touched the system! Go to her now! Tear Elder Thomas's throat out before they put their filthy hands on our mate!"Silence," I force the command through my teeth, my jaw clenching s

    Serena POV"You shouldn't be seeing clients again so soon, Serena," my supervisor, Dr. Vance, says, staring across his desk as I sit in his private office at the pack medical clinic. "The elders know about your marriage to Alpha Kael. They expect you to play the role of Blackthorn Luna, not treat rogue trauma cases.""My license is active," I say, my voice steady and cold. "I am a certified psychotherapist. Kael has not forbidden me from working, and these wolf survivors need therapy, not political speeches.""Your first appointment is in five minutes," Dr. Vance sighs, sliding three thick confidential case files across the polished mahogany desk toward me. "Three trauma cases from the northern border conflict. Severe PTSD, feral shifting triggers, and extreme wolf loss. Keep them strictly off the record, or the pack council will shut us down.""I know how to handle confidential records," I say, pulling the paper files into my lap.My wolf stirs inside my chest, her ears pricking with

    Serena POV"He didn't even let her touch the handle of his door," a young female wolf whispers near the hall pillar. "He locked himself in the isolation vault just to get away from her scent."I do not stop walking. I keep my chin high, my boots clicking softly against the stone floor of the outer corridor."She brought him food last night like a desperate servant," another voice sneers from behind a carved archway. "He left it outside to go cold. He hates her."The words sting like sharp thorns, but I do not let my expression crack. In my past life, I would have screamed at them. I would have smashed the stone vases, cried in my room, and demanded that my father take me back.This time, my pulse remains slow and steady. My wolf bristles beneath my skin, baring her teeth at the insult, but I force her down. Let them talk. Let the entire Blackthorn pack believe their Alpha despises his new arranged bride."Good morning, Serena," Maren's voice purrs as she steps out from the side galler

    Serena POV"He won't survive another full moon at this rate," Elder Thomas's gravelly voice echoes across the grand council hall, the heavy oak table surrounded by dozens of high-ranking Blackthorn wolves. "Look at him. His aura is leaking. He is a liability to the entire pack territory."I sit in the lowest row of the gallery, my fingers digging into the fabric of my dress.Kael sits at the head of the long stone table, the absolute picture of cold, unyielding authority. His dark hair is pushed back, his fitted black shirt buttoned to the collar, his posture as rigid as carved granite. His voice cut through the air like a razor when he answered."My capacity to rule is not open for debate, Thomas," Kael says, his tone devoid of a single drop of warmth. "If any elder sitting at this table believes otherwise, challenge me for the title right now."Silence slams into the hall like a physical weight. None of the elders move. None of them dare to meet his gaze.Yet beneath the polished su

    Serena POV"He didn't touch it, did he?" Maren’s voice purrs from the shadows near my bed, sweet as honey and sharp as glass.I do not answer her right away. I step into my assigned quarters, closing the heavy oak door behind me before turning to face my sister. The lingering scent of seared meat and mountain herbs from the tray I left outside Kael’s study still sits on my skin. In my past life, I would have thrown a screaming tantrum, smashed the dishes against the wall, and cursed Kael’s name until my lungs bled.This time, I walk calmly to the vanity. My hands do not shake. My posture does not break."Alpha Kael is a busy man," I say, my voice smooth and flat. "He eats when he pleases."Maren glides off the edge of the mattress, her silk gown whispering against the floorboards. She circles me like a vulture, her eyes wide with false, sisterly concern while her sweet chamomile scent fills the quiet room."You actually cooked for him?" Maren asks, letting out a soft, mocking laugh. "
