FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING Chapter 36: The Traitor Moved
Selena's POV"No," he said. "We never were."The office was quiet around us. The folder sat open on the desk between us with the name on it and I kept looking at it the way you look at something that has rearranged everything you thought you understood about where the danger was coming from."How long do you think they have been in position?" I asked."Three years minimum," Kael said. "The compound was made three years ago. Whatever role they play in this palace, they have had that long to make themselves indispensable. To make sure nobody looks at them.""Which means they are good at it," I said. "Nobody has looked at them in three years.""Until now," he said."Until now," I agreed. I sat back. "We cannot move on them yet.""No," he said. "Not until the clinic confirms the sourcing. If we move too early and the evidence is not airtight they walk free and disappear and we never find them again.""So we watch," I said."We watch," he said."And in the meantime they are still in this p

Kael's POV"Dave was in my office at seven."You look terrible," he said, setting two cups of coffee on the desk and dropping into the chair across from me."The visitor records," I said, ignoring that. "Tell me you started last night.""I started last night," he said. "I also slept for three hours so whatever I look like, you look worse." He pulled a folder from under his arm and opened it on the desk between us. "Three years of palace visitor logs. Everyone who came through the main gate, the staff entrance, the supplier entrance, and the east wing private access. Cross-referenced against the clinic head's preliminary notes on who would have had the knowledge to prepare that compound.""How many names?" I asked."On the full list, forty-seven," Dave said. "People who visited this palace in the six months before the attack three years ago with enough access and enough time inside the walls to store something." He turned a page. "Cross-referenced against the clinic's notes on preparat

Kael's POVThe maids came in quietly, the way good staff moved through a room — present without being intrusive, efficient without being rushed. Two of them, working around me like I was furniture they had learned the position of, collecting plates and folding the small cloth that had been laid across the table.I sat and let them work.The candle had burned low enough to be nearly done. The window showed nothing but dark and the distant lights of the kingdom below, a scatter of them across the valley, the kind of view I had stopped seeing somewhere in the last three years and was only now noticing again."Will you need anything else, Alpha?" the older of the two maids asked, pausing at the door with the tray balanced on one arm."No," I said. "Thank you."She dipped her head and they were gone, the door pulling shut softly behind them, and the study was quiet in the way it only was late at night when the rest of the palace had found its own silence.I looked at the table. Empty now,

Selena's POV"My lady," Nia called, holding a bag in her hands as she walked in."What's the matter, what's in the bag?" I asked, sitting up from the bed I had been lying on."Alpha Kael requests your audience in an hour," she said, setting the bag carefully on the dresser and beginning to open it. "He sent this."Inside was a dress. Deep burgundy, simple cut, nothing ceremonial about it. The kind of thing you wore when the occasion was personal rather than political."Did he say why?" I asked."Dinner," Nia said. "Just dinner. His study."I looked at the dress.In the ten days since the council session, we had fallen into a rhythm that was functional and productive and almost comfortable — morning briefings with Dave, council appearances twice a week, evenings reviewing the reports that came in from the border territories. We worked well together. We worked in a way that felt natural, which was stranger than the working itself.But we had not had dinner. Not like this."Help me get r

Richard Ashwood's POV"Alpha," one of the guards called, bowing as he walked in."I made it very clear I did not want anyone in here," I said, not looking up from the desk."I know, Alpha, I apologize. But the news from the Lycan Kingdom—" he stopped, choosing his next words carefully in the way that people choose words when they know the information they are carrying is going to cause damage and they would prefer not to be standing close when it does."Say it," I said."The Continental Council's recommendation went against the Lycan King," he said. "But the co-governance petition filed by Prince Lucien was suspended. The Luna made a case before the full council and the majority voted to give her thirty days to prove her capability." He paused. "Lucien's petition is on hold for the entire period."I set down the pen in my hand."And Drake?" I asked."He returned this morning," the guard said. "He was denied the private audience and the trade request was rejected. Formally. By the Luna

Selena's POV"Highly needed," I said, my gaze fixed on Lucien. "I believe someone needs a breather before they burst red with shame." I held his eye for a beat longer than necessary, then turned and walked out of the chamber with Kael beside me."Luna, that was insane," Dave said the moment we cleared the doors, his face split with a wide grin."I just refused to be a backdrop anymore," I said. "Plus I made a promise." My voice dropped slightly as I turned to Kael."That was incredible," he said. "You were more than amazing."I nodded with a small smile, smoothing the creases on my dress when Lucien's voice came hard from behind us."You see what this stray—"Kael's cane connected with his leg before the sentence finished.Lucien pulled up short, wincing, fury and shock fighting for space on his face."You're rattled," Kael said simply."I'm not—""You're flushed, Lucien. Your face has been red since she asked how you knew about the recommendation before it was read." Kael kept his vo
