The knock at the door was soft and almost uncertain. Ryker barely looked up from where he had frozen.

“Come in,” he called, his voice rough and thick with exhaustion.

The door creaked open, and when the figure finally came through the door, his heart fluttered slightly. It was Eirlys.

She lingered in the doorway, the door yet to be shut behind her. And for a fleeting moment, neither of them spoke. They only stared at each other, caught in a silence so heavy.

Ryker had not expected her as he was about to go see her. And yet, now that she was here, standing before him, his mind scrambled to find something to say.

A question. An apology. Anything. But the words never came.

Eirlys shifted her feet, her fingers curling slightly at her sides. Then, she cleared her throat, breaking the silence that hung in the room between them.

“I came to check on your wounds,” she propelled her head forward, her eyes settling on his side.

Ryker gave a slow nod. “I appreciate that,” a smile curled around th

    Aria lifted her hand slowly and pointed toward the winding path ahead. “It's close,” she said, her voice low but enough for them to hear her. “Past that bend.”Ryker didn't say anything right away. He looked around, scanning the area like he was trying to read something invisible in the air. Then, he raised one arm gently, signaling for everyone to pause. The group of warriors, including Rowan, stopped behind him. The only sound was a few shifting hoovens and the quiet rustle of leaves above them.Ryker turned toward Aria and in a calm tone, he spoke. “Get off your horse.”She didn't hesitate. She slid down quickly, her boots landing softly on the dry path. Her hand brushed the cloak over her shoulder, smoothing it like she was resetting the part she needed to play. She didn't glance back at anyone.Ryker faced the others. “You'll follow her,” he shook his head. “Don't get too close. Move like shadows. If you make even a bit of noise, it could ruin everything.”Rowan gave a short nod

    Ryker took a step forward, then another and another, his boots crouching against the brittle grass. His voice cut through the stillness that looked across the find. *Eirlys,” he called out with a loud voice.But nothing stirred. Only the rustle of the wind answering him. He bit down his teeth, his jaw moving sideways. He raised his voice again, firm enough to reach the trees.“I know you're here. Come out.”For a moment, the world stayed still—then, a sudden crack broke the hush, the snap of dried leaves underfoot. Ryker's raised his head and his heart lurched against his ribs.And there, emerging from the shadows, Eirlys slowly moved towards him. Her steps were a little bit hesitant but she knew more than to stop in her tracks or turn back and run away. It wouldn't sit well with Ryker. Her hair caught in the breeze and her clothes clung to her slender form like they were trying to pull her back.Ryker's breath caught in his throat and without thinking twice, he crossed the distance

    Rowan stepped into the room with Aria trailing behind him. She looked almost unrecognizable—her skin scrubbed and clean and her hair pulled back. She had also been clothed in simple garments that didn't carry the face of her recent torment. Her eyes, however, still held the echo of fear, like smoldering embers beneath ash.Ryker turned from the desk, his gaze sweeping over her as if studying a stranger. “Are you ready?” he askedAria swallowed hard, her throat visibly working before she gave a single nod. “Do I have a choice?”A ghost of smirk touched Ryker's lips. “You always have a choice… someone said that to me… and if you want to live, you know what you have to do.” He stepped closer, his gaze fixed on hers. “Remember, don't blow your cover. You act the way you always have. No hesitation. No smiling up. If you run into the Tyrant or his men, you play your part.”Aria lifted her chin. It was defiant—just an unspoken agreement passing between them. She said nothing, but the way she

    Celeste sat in silence long after Ryker dismissed them. Her arms were tightly crossed over her chest and lips parted like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the strength to speak. Her eyes, usually Sharon with confidence, now held a dullness that refused to leave—just like a flame slowly dying out. The gravity of Ryker's words lingered in her chest, pressing down on her pride with a heaviness she couldn't shake.Micheal stood beside her, his fingers wiggling at his sides as if he was debating whether to comfort her daughter or motivate her. But in the end, he sighed and placed a firm hand on her shoulder.“He's shaken, that's all,” Micheal said, patting her back. “He'll come around… he's just all worked up with what 's been going on.”But Celeste's pupils didn't settle. It just scanned the air like she was searching for something she'd lost as her expression faltered and her eyes eventually settled on nothing in particular, like the walls were speaking more than her father

    Micheal folded his arms behind his back as he walked further into the room.“You've done well, Ryker,” he began. “To survive what you did… to still stand tall after the betrayals, the spy of a thing; the injuries you sustained, the loss of your men. Not many could rule with such unwavering confidence after all that.” he paused for a moment and then continued. “Marcus would have been proud of you.”Ryker let out a breath through his nose, the corner of his mouth lifting into a small smile—but it faded almost instantly. And when he spoke up, it was direct.“Is that all you came here to say?”Micheal smirked, the lines around his eyes squeezing with a hint of amusement. “Of course not.” He gave a half shrug, like the next words were merely casual suggestions. But Ryker knew better.“I believe,” Micheal continued, glancing briefly at Celeste. “I think… no I'm sure that now is the time you stop calling your upcoming Luna… and make her your Luna officially.”Ryker's eyes dashed between the

    Eirlys still stood frozen, his question echoing in her chest like a distant thunder, aching in places she had long tried to forget. Her lips parted slightly in a thin line but there was nothing. Just the soft tremble of breath caught in her throat as her eyes searched Ryker's, unsure of what to say.“I thought as much you'd ask that,” she finally whispered, her voice a little bit hoarse. “But you should know I wasn't going to answer.”She turned her gaze away, her hands balling into trembling fists at her sides. But before she could take another breath, Ryker stepped forward. His presence was sudden and his warmth enveloped her before she could move.His hands rose—though hesitated for only a breath—before settling gently on her shoulders. His grip was neither firm nor possessive, but there was a little pressure in it. Maybe it was a plea. Or maybe it was a kind of desperation that came not from dominance, but regret.“Eirlys,” he said quietly, and then—stronger— “do I deserve a secon
