Selena's POV

Dave's contact came through at six in the morning.

I was already awake when he knocked on the office door, had been awake for most of the night turning the photograph over in my head, and when Dave came in with a folder I sat up straight and held out my hand before he finished crossing the room.

"Give it to me," I said.

He gave it to me.

Kael was beside the desk, and we read it together, and neither of us said anything for a long time after we finished.

The documents were thorough.

  • FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING    Chapter 60: Race Against Time

    Selena's POVWe rode out at midnight.No ceremony, no torches, no formal send off, just the east gate opening quietly in the dark and Thorne's unit moving first, fast and silent, with the main force spreading out behind them like water finding the shape of the ground it crosses.I had expected a carriage. Kael said nothing about a carriage and when I came down to the yard he was already on horseback, a dark stallion that stood very still while he settled into the saddle with the ease of a man whose body had remembered something it never actually forgot just could not access.I looked at him up there for a second longer than I meant to.He caught it. The corner of his mouth moved. "Ride," he said.I rode.We did not talk much in the first hour. The dark was thick and the road was quiet and the army moved behind us like a held breath, and there was something about that, the silence of three thousand people and horses and equipment moving through the dark without a single unnecessary so

  • FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING    Chapter 59: Hidden Betrayal

    Kael's POVI was still looking at the note when Selena came in.She read it over my shoulder, set it back down, and said "he made a mistake" before I had finished deciding how angry I was."He threatened villages," I said."He threatened them," she said. "There is a difference." She pulled out the chair beside me and sat down, not across the table but right next to me, close, and looked at the note with the expression she used when she was working through something fast. "If he wanted to burn villages he would have done it already. He sent this because he wants me walking in on my own two feet with steady blood and a calm mind. Panicked blood does not serve the ritual. Chaos does not serve the ritual." She looked at me. "He needs everything clean and cooperative and he knows threatening the people I am supposed to be protecting is the fastest way to make me cooperative.""Which means you want to use it," I said."Which means I want to find who put it there," she said. "Because whoeve

  • FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING    Chapter 58: Enemy Within

    Kael's POVThe next day, I watched Ariana train for twenty minutes before I left.Mira had cleared the east sitting room and moved the furniture to the walls, leaving a wide open space in the center. Selena stood in the middle of it with her eyes closed and her hands at her sides while Mira talked her through something I could not fully follow from the doorway, something about the difference between passive contact and active intent, about the bloodline responding to will rather than accident.Selena's face was the focused version. The one she wore in council when something required every part of her attention and she was giving it willingly.I left before she opened her eyes. Not because I could not watch. Because I could watch too easily and what I was watching was my wife being trained to walk into the most dangerous situation I had ever had to authorize, and I needed to be in the strategy room making clear decisions rather than standing in a doorway failing to be neutral about it

  • FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING    Chapter 57: Forgotten Heir

    Selena's POVThey arrived at first light of the morning, Two of them, on horses that moved quietly for animals that size, wearing no colors and carrying no weapons that I could see. The elder was a woman, something I had not expected, small and upright, somewhere past seventy with the kind of face that had long since stopped performing anything for anyone. The younger was a man in his forties, silent, positioned slightly behind her in the way of someone whose job was to observe rather than speak.They did not bow when they came into the meeting room. They looked at Kael with respect and they looked at me with something else entirely.Recognition.Not the way people recognized me as the Luna. Something older and more specific. Like looking at a face they had been shown a picture of and finally seeing in person."Luna Selena," the elder said. Her voice was low and unhurried. "My name is Vael Mira. I have been waiting to meet you for a very long time.""How long?" I asked."Since before

  • FOR REVENGE, I MARRIED THE CRIPPLED LYCAN KING    Chapter 56: Moonveil Returns

    Kael's POVThe mobilization yard was full by dawn.Three thousand soldiers, ranked wolves, generals who had served this kingdom for decades — all of them assembled in the eastern yard at my order, standing in formation in the grey morning light when I walked out to face them.I had not stood in front of an assembled force in three years.The reaction moved through the ranks like a wave. Not noise — most of them were too disciplined for that. Just the particular shift of three thousand trained people recalibrating in real time. Heads adjusting. Postures straightening. General Thorne, my senior commander, was at the front. He had served under my father before me and had given me exactly one year after the wheelchair before quietly, loyally, beginning to plan for what came after. He looked at me standing in the morning light and said nothing for a moment.Then he saluted in the old Lycan way — fist to chest, held — and every soldier in the yard followed in the same breath.The sound of i

    Kael's POVElder Alden, three items into the agenda, set down his pen and looked at me directly. "Alpha," he said. "With respect, I think this council needs to address something before we continue.""Then address it," I said."You walked in here this morning," he said. "After three years. Without explanation, without prior notice, without any medical documentation that we are aware of." He looked around the table at the other elders. "The council would like to understand how that is possible.""I healed," I said."That is not an explanation," Alden said. "The curse that affected your wolf was assessed by three separate practitioners over the last three years, all of whom concluded it was irreversible without a specific counter-ritual. No such ritual was performed, to our knowledge." He held my gaze. "So the council would like to know what was actually done and by whom.""It is a private medical matter," I said.Lady Voss spoke from the wall before Alden could respond. "Alpha, I say th
