The break had just been called when I slipped out of the upper wing, my heart still hammering against my ribs. I hurried down the stairs and headed straight toward the waiting lounge where Rohan stood talking quietly with Bellamy and River.

The moment I stepped through the doorway, Rohan’s sharp blue eyes snapped to me. His expression instantly softened with concern as he excused himself and walked swiftly to my side.

“Are you okay?” he asked quietly, his warm hand reaching out to

    130ISABELLAThe break had just been called when I slipped out of the upper wing, my heart still hammering against my ribs. I hurried down the stairs and headed straight toward the waiting lounge where Rohan stood talking quietly with Bellamy and River.The moment I stepped through the doorway, Rohan’s sharp blue eyes snapped to me. His expression instantly softened with concern as he excused himself and walked swiftly to my side.“Are you okay?” he asked quietly, his warm hand reaching out to cup my elbow, sending a steady pulse of comfort through the mate bond. “You look pale.”“I’m fine,” I whispered quickly, glancing around to make sure none of the guards or council aides were listening. I grabbed his arm and pulled him aside into a secluded corner behind one of the heavy marble pillars.“Rohan, look,” I said, unlocking my phone with trembling fingers and angling the screen toward his chest so only he could see.Rohan looked down, his brow furrowing, and then his eyes went complet

    ISABELLA My head throbbed with a dull, persistent ache, and a sudden wave of nausea rolled through my stomach, forcing me to stop and lean heavily against the cold stone wall of the corridor.I needed fresh air.Stepping out onto one of the side balconies, I pulled the crisp, cold wind deep into my lungs, trying to settle the sickness knotting in my gut. I leaned over the stone balustrade and looked out at the sweeping expanse of the packlands. Once upon a time, this place had been my home. I had walked these paths feeling safe, believing I belonged to a family, a community, a pack. But looking down at it now, the sprawling stone walls and heavy iron gates didn't offer comfort anymore. It felt like a cage. A gilded prison built on secrets, manipulation, and lies.A quiet, bitter laugh escaped my lips. Strange how perspective shifted the moment the scales fell from your eyes.Determined to clear my head, I turned away from the balcony and began walking down the quiet, dimly lit upper

    126ROHANA tense, suffocating silence descended over the throne room the moment the words left my mouth.On the elevated platform, Derek’s smirk faltered for a fraction of a second, his fingers tightening against the armrests of his wheelchair. Beside him, Victoria’s eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, her posture stiffening like a coiled snake ready to strike.Councilman Vance’s face flushed a deep, mottled red. He slammed his heavy wooden gavel down onto the table, the sharp crack echoing off the high stone arches like a gunshot.“Watch your tongue, Rohan!” Vance thundered, his voice raspy with indignation. “You stand before the highest governing body of our kind! To accuse this Council of corruption and proxy manipulation is treason!”“It’s only treason if I’m lying, Vance,” I countered smoothly, not flinching an inch. I took a slow, deliberate step forward, keeping Isabella anchored directly behind my left shoulder while Bellamy and River fanned out slightly on my right. “Let’s l

    127 ROHAN “This is utter bullshit,” I growled, staring down at the thick parchment stamped with the Lycanthrope Council’s seal. “I will never let this happen.” Isabella reached out, her cool fingers brushing mine as she gently pulled the letter from my hands. Her dark eyes scanned the ink, widening as the reality of the words set in. “They can’t do this,” I snapped, my jaw clenching so tight my teeth ached. “I’ve already paid off every single due required by law to keep this pack completely independent. Every cent, every tax, every tribute—settled.” Bellamy sighed, rubbing the back of his neck, his face tight with concern. “I know, Rohan. It’s a shock to all of us. But you have to remember... without Ravena’s father and his house backing us anymore, our alliance is gone. In the Council’s eyes, this territory isn’t nearly as safe or self-sufficient as it used to be. They see an opening.” “I don’t give a damn what they see,” I spat, turning to face him fully, my A

    125ISABELLAThe air in the courtyard instantly turned to ice.My hand pressed hard against my stomach, my heart hammering against my ribs so violently I could hear it echoing in my ears. Just moments ago, I was standing in a sunny plaza filled with children’s laughter, feeling safe for the first time in my life. Now, the shadow of the Rogue King hung over us like a executioner's blade.He wants me. He wants my baby.“Say that again,” Rohan’s voice dropped into a register so dangerously low it sent a shiver straight down my spine. The warmth he had shown the city folk vanished in an instant, replaced by the lethal predator I knew him to be.Bellamy held up the tablet, his fingers tapping the screen to bring up satellite maps and encrypted march routes glowing in jagged red lines. “Our scouts at the eastern perimeter intercepted a courier group carrying council-level sigils. The Rogue King has been building a coalition in the shadows for months, Rohan. He’s gathered thousands of unalig

    125ISABELLAI smiled through a fresh wave of happy tears. As Rohan wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me flush against him, I leaned up, meeting his lips in a deep, passionate kiss.The sound of the crowd's cheers echoed off the tall stone-and-glass structures of the city as our lips parted. I was still breathless, resting my forehead against Rohan’s chest, when a chorus of whistle blowing and hearty laughter broke around us.Before I could process the swell of warmth in my chest, a group of townsfolk stepped forward to speak with us. A burly man with paint-stained clothes clapped Rohan on the shoulder, laughing boisterously, while a young woman holding a basket of fresh produce offered me a warm, genuine smile.Rohan wrapped a strong arm around my waist, keeping me flush against his side as he turned to face them. "This is Isabella," he announced, his voice carrying an unmistakable pride that made my heart leap. "My mate."The reaction was immediate. There was no cold evalu
