Darius's POV

The study door banged closed behind Malik hard enough to make the bottles on my desk rattle. I didn't care. I would like to know about this palace. That I had missed letting them all know, that another Alpha was swooping to circle my mate as if she were a weak animal about to be taken down.

“You need to go,” I said, barely containing my wolf. He scratched me up inside and out, ordering me to move and rip this competition apart. "Now."

Malik was bold enough to smile. With a nonchalant confidence, he moved to the center of the room, his silver hair glinting in the lamp light. “Are you giving the orders, Alpha Darius? Last time I looked, we are equals. And you don’t own Lily to order suitors away.”

"She's my mate." It was growling as the words came out.

"A mate you rejected." his green eyes dared. “A comrade you allowed to be tortured in your dungeons. And what is your true claim to her?”

I balled my hands into fists on the desk, claws even threatening to pierce through it

    Lily's POVI was brought out of my debate with myself when a knock sounded at the door. I slid on a robe before unbolting the door, only to be greeted by two servants holding breakfast trays.“Good morning, Luna,” said the older one, a woman who had served beside me in the kitchens for years. "We brought your morning meal."The title felt strange. I had been their colleague only yesterday, chasing pots and dragging water. Today I was Luna, and they spoke to me with the same respect they showed Selene."Thank you, Martha." I moved out of the way to let them in. “And you know what, please just continue to call me Lily. We don’t need to be that proper about it, we’ve known each other too long.”"That wouldn't be proper, Luna." But Martha smiled slightly. “Although I’ll tell you, if we were going to have a Luna, I’m glad it was you. Somebody that understands what it's like to work hard and have somebody give respect rather than demand respect.”I poked at the breakfast blob and egg spread

    Malik's POV“You’ve been looking at those papers for three hours,” Stefan had said, from the doorway. "Are they really that fascinating?""They're potentially world-changing." I gestured for him to enter. "Close the door."Stefan whistled softly as I described what Selene told me. "Winter Wolf royalty. That's... unprecedented."“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Maybe once in a century."“You’re also using a woman that you say that you respect as merely a political pawn.” Stefan's voice carried disapproval. “Is that what you really want to be?”The question felt more cutting than I was prepared to admit. Well, I’d built my brand in being unlike other Alphas — of treasuring strength and character rather than bloodline, of cherishing self-determination over political covenants. Selene's plan was to throw those values out the window altogether.I need to dig into this, instead of responding. "Independently verify everything Selene claimed."I spent the next two days dispatching loyal age

    Selene's POVThe dungeon guard's features were slack with greed as he pocketed the gold coins I had managed to smuggle to him over the past week. It had taken an intricate amount of planning, bribing and promising that I never intended to keep but here it was the opening of the cell door."You got twenty minutes til shift change," he whispered, glancing nervously down the corridor. “After that, you’re on your own.”"That's all I need." I edged around him and moved off into the blackness of he tunnels below.Freedom smelled of stale air and despair, but it was better than fucking lingering there in my cell. Rather than sitting around letting Darius decide my fate. Better than the thought that it was left to rot by a serving girl who should have died years past.Lily. The name sizzled like acid in my mind. She was my mate, and she had stolen from me — not only my position, but also my future. She was the one who'd always outlived every effort I mounted to destroy her, coming back strong

    Lily's POVI put on the darkest clothes I had and went for the armory. Other wolves were already girding themselves, looking grim but resolved. They barely looked up as I came in."You're not weapons-accompanied," claimed the armory master when I approached."I'm the Alpha's... the Luna." The title tasted strange. “And I’m going to the border.”"The Alpha will never allow—""The Alpha doesn't control me." I met his eyes steadily. "Arms me against wolves."There was something in my manner, or the expression of my face, that won him to acquiesce. He passed a set of silver-edged daggers made for close combat. "Don't get yourself killed.""I don't plan to."When I arrived, one patrol was being staged by the northern gate. In front, Darius himself was commanding the soldiers. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw me.“What are you doing here, Lily?”"Joining the patrol.""Absolutely not. You’ve been practicing for three days. This is far too risky for fresh-shredded wolf.""I'm not aski

    Darius's POVAlong with the upturned furniture and broken glass, I gazed down at my bloody hands. The arms and legs I broke fighting Lily would be mended in hours. The kiss on her neck–the one I'd besotted upon her--would stay there forever.What had I done?That scream still haunted my dreams, a sound of rape and treachery that I would never be able to forget. I had become the monster I had promised to shield her from—someone who forced himself onto her without whether she was willing."Alpha." Marcus spoke from the door, sounding disillusioned. "We need to talk."I didn't turn around. "Say what you came to say.""What you did was unforgivable." His words were precise, cutting. “The mating mark taboo is one of the worst offenses in our society. You know this.""I know." The confession burned my throat as it came out."Do you?" Marcus entered the room, stepping on broken glass. “Because from where I’m standing, all you’ve done is prove Lily wise not to trust you. You said you were dif

    Lily's POVPain.White hot, searing pain shot from my neck to the rest of my body. Not the gentle heat of a consented mating mark, but something brutal, violent, wrong.I screamed. The sound was strangled, because Darius's teeth were still buried in my flesh. His arms felt like iron around me, keeping me there as my body rebelled attempting to struggle out of it.This was not the way it was meant to be. Mating marks were sacred, consensual. This was violation.Then the pain changed.I was filled with warmth and it raced like wildfire through my bloodstream. My skin was burning, my bones were aching. There was something within me that had been lying dormant, and now suddenly blazed.My wolf.She'd never said a word to me in my entire life, not when everyone else had found hers. I'd been incomplete, broken. But now here she was, woken by the coerced bond, and she was angry.Power surged through me, horrible in its strength. My body trembled, joints popping and reshaping. Fur erupted fr
