ANAIYAH

The air felt suffocating, charged.

I couldn't shake the feeling that something sinister was lurking just beyond the walls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

From the way the shadows danced across the floor, I knew whatever it was was getting closer.

Over the last week, Nikolai had doubled patrols around every stone wall. Every visitor faced harsh questioning. Some entered having provided a satisfactory explanation for their presence, while others were turned away without hesitati

    ANAIYAHThe infirmary had been unusually quiet since the disturbance beneath Silver Crest. Healers moved between the beds, checking on those affected by the surge, while I sat near the window, trying to ignore the strange sensation beneath my skin.My magic hadn't settled. Every few minutes, a faint pulse travelled through my palm, followed by a tightness in my chest. Seren had examined me twice and insisted there was no immediate danger, but she hadn't been able to explain what I was feeling.Nikolai stood near the entrance, speaking with one of the guards when the doors swung open. A messenger hurried inside, his clothes stained with mud and his breathing uneven."Alpha, we found a body near the eastern border," he announced, stopping several feet from Nikolai. "The patrol believes the woman may be connected to the Moonblood bloodline."My fingers tightened around the edge of the chair. The pulse beneath my skin returned, stronger this time, and a sharp ache traveled from my palm to

    NIKOLAI"I think I've found the connection we've been missing."Orion's words settled over the room.I looked at the document beneath his hand. "Then show us."He lifted his finger, exposing the partially obscured name."Seraphine."Anaiyah leaned closer. "Seraphine?""Yes." Orion turned the paper toward us. "Her name appears in several references within the Silver Crest archive. Not in the records about the mechanism itself, but in documents concerning an agreement made with Alaric."Jamal frowned. "An agreement between Seraphine and Alaric?""Only those two names appear as parties to it." Orion tapped the faded writing. "No pack council. No witnesses listed. Whoever recorded this went to great lengths to keep it out of the ordinary records."I studied the paper. "And the Blood Council seal?""That is familiar. We already know it, but the secondary marking beneath it…" Orion pointed to the faint symbol. "It appears in another document Jamal uncovered before the archive theft."Jamal

    ORIONFingers tracing my shoulder woke me. I glanced at the woman beside me and reached for my trousers."Leaving already?""I have a terrible habit of waking up with responsibilities.""Funny." She sat up, pulling the sheet to her chest. "When are we making this official?"My hand stopped.I crossed to the drinks cabinet, poured water, and took a swallow. It went down the wrong way."That's not the reaction I was hoping for.""Neither was the question."Her smile disappeared. "Orion, we've been seeing each other for months. You invite me here, remember what I like, and make room for me in your life. What am I supposed to think?"I set the glass down.There it was. The part I'd avoided because it required more than a charming answer."I told you I wasn't looking for a relationship.""You also kept making me feel there was a possibility."I opened my mouth, then closed it.She was right. I'd learned her preferences, kept her favorite drink in my cabinet, and noticed when she was having

    ANAIYAHNikolai kept one arm around me. “What did you see?”“Someone watching. I couldn't make out a face. I remember the height, the stillness...” I pressed my fingers against my temple. “Then the memory broke.”“Did the person approach your parents?”“I don't know.” I pulled away enough to meet his eyes. “The reports Daniel submitted were wrong. We already know that. But I need to know what happened before that person appeared.”His gaze moved to the relic. “You don't have to touch it again.”“I know.”“I won't stop you. But understand that the vision may pull you further than you intend.”“I understand.” My voice shook, but my hand didn't. “I want to see.”Nikolai offered his palm. I took it, then placed my other hand against the carved lid.“Keep listening for my voice,” he told me. “Don't fight your way back alone.”A silver pulse ran through the wood. The garden dropped away.My parents stood inside a room I knew, though I had never seen it from this angle. A small bag rested on

    ANAIYAHThe gold ring in Nikolai’s eyes vanished.I blinked, but the dark line through his pupils was gone too. His usual silver-gray stare returned, though his jaw remained tight.“Don’t tell me I imagined that.”“I wasn’t going to.”“You were about to tell me it was nothing.”His mouth shifted. “I was about to tell you I don’t know what happened.”That answer unsettled me more than a denial. Seren watched him from beside the training circle, her expression unreadable. Nikolai glanced at her, then reached for my hand.“Come. You need air.”“I need an explanation.”“And I need one too. We can be confused outside.”I let him lead me from the chamber.The gardens lay beyond the east terrace. Vines climbed the arches, and clipped hedges bordered beds of roses and lilies.I slowed beside a row of pale flowers. “You take care of all this?”“I oversee it.”“That sounds suspiciously close to admitting you enjoy gardening.”“I enjoy having grounds that don’t look neglected.”“Of course. Even

    NIKOLAISeren’s warning remained in my head as I watched Anaiyah. Her fingers curled against her palms, but she lifted her chin.“So what happens now?” she asked.“We stop pushing it,” Seren replied. “Your magic needs time to respond without being forced. Fear can trigger it, and we don't know how much damage an uncontrolled surge could cause.”“Then teach me how to control it.”I stepped forward. “Not if there's a chance that you'll hurt yourself.”Her eyes snapped toward me. “I'm standing right here, Nikolai.”“I noticed.”“Then stop discussing me as though I can't make decisions.”Seren glanced between us. I held Anaiyah's gaze, knowing an argument would get us nowhere.“I won't stop you from learning,” I told her. “But we do this somewhere we can contain the damage.”“The training chamber,” Seren suggested. “Its protective markings should help.”Anaiyah nodded. “Let's go.”I wasn't pleased with the arrangement, but I followed.The training chamber had been cleared of its usual equ
