POV: Vaela

​I stood near the glass doors of the entrance hall, keeping my hands resting naturally at my sides while I stared directly at Isolde, refusing to let her see a single drop of surprise on my face.

​"My name is Vaela Voss, and you must be confusing me with someone else," I said, my voice completely steady while two palace guards walked past us toward the courtyard, "I am here as the head of Voss Dominion for the security dinner with the Queen."

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   The Father's First Mistake

    POV: Caedric​I stood in the center of the sitting room for a long time after the heavy door clicked shut behind Maya and Nyra, my hands hanging at my sides while the lingering sound of Vaela’s shouting echoed in the corners of the space.​"She is not leaving the palace today, Jaxon," I said, my voice sounding flat as I stared at the spot where Vaela had been standing, "and I do not want any of the guards interfering with her movements unless it is a direct security threat."​"She is already loading the vehicles in the rear bay, Caedric," Jaxon said, stepping into the room with his hands tucked behind his back, "and she is not going to listen to your orders about staying put."​"I am not giving an order to keep her here," I said, walking toward the window to watch the black cars idling on the gravel, "I am giving you an order to make sure she stays safe while she is on these grounds, because if another transport incident happens on my watch, I will burn this palace down to the foundat

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   The Blood Bond

    POV: Caedric​I stood near the large window in my private office, staring down at the white paper in my hand while Jaxon sat on the chair near the door, watching me in complete silence.​"The test came back as a ninety-nine point nine percent match," Jaxon said softly, breaking the quiet in the room, "the chief medical officer personally processed the sample to ensure absolute accuracy."​"Seven years, Jaxon," I said, my voice cracking as I stared at the dark ink print on the bottom of the page, "she spent seven years growing up in another territory without me knowing her name, without me holding her when she was a baby, and without me seeing her take her very first steps."​"You did not know, Caedric," Jaxon said, standing up and stepping over to place his hand on my shoulder, "you were searching for Vaela the entire time, and you had no idea she was pregnant when she disappeared from the east wing."​"That does not fix anything," I said, folding the white paper and shoving it into m

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   Don't Call Him That

    POV: Vaela​My heart dropped straight into my stomach the second that single word left Nyra's lips, and I scrambled off the mattress, my hands shaking uncontrollably as I tried to pull my daughter out of Caedric's arms.​"Give her back to me, Caedric," I said, my voice cracking with panic while I grabbed Nyra under her arms and lifted her onto my lap, "she is half-asleep and she does not know what she is saying right now."​Caedric did not pull back immediately, his hands lingering on Nyra's back for three agonizing seconds while his golden eyes locked onto my face with an intensity that made it almost impossible for me to breathe, but he slowly stood up from his kneeling position on the floor.​"She knew exactly who she was talking to, Vaela," Caedric said softly, his voice low and raspy as he stared down at the two of us, "you can keep trying to lie to me, but you cannot change what she feels in her own blood."​"I am not lying about anything, so please walk out of this bedroom righ

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   The Nightmare

    POV: Vaela​I carried Nyra back into the inner bedroom of the guest suite, shutting the double doors firmly behind us so Isolde and the guards would remain outside in the sitting area, and I sat on the edge of the mattress while holding my daughter tightly against my chest.​"You are safe now, Nyra, nobody in this palace is going to touch you or hurt you," I said softly, smoothing her dark hair down while her tiny hands slowly loosened their grip on my collar, "I am right here with you, and Maya is standing right at the door."​"I do not like that woman, Mommy," Nyra sobbed, hiding her face in the crook of my neck while her small body shook with quiet tremors, "she smells like those bad papers you keep in your locked bag, and her voice sounded like the person in my bad dreams."​"She is leaving now, sweetheart, so you do not have to look at her anymore," I said, laying her gently on the pillows and pulling the light blanket over her shoulders, "just close your eyes and focus on my voi

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   Isolde's Smile

    POV: Vaela​I stood near the glass doors of the entrance hall, keeping my hands resting naturally at my sides while I stared directly at Isolde, refusing to let her see a single drop of surprise on my face.​"My name is Vaela Voss, and you must be confusing me with someone else," I said, my voice completely steady while two palace guards walked past us toward the courtyard, "I am here as the head of Voss Dominion for the security dinner with the Queen."​"Of course, my apologies, Miss Voss," Isolde said, her smile widening as she smoothed down her dress, but her sharp eyes scanned my face from top to bottom with calculated precision, "it is just that you look remarkably like a girl who used to live here years ago, though I suppose anyone can look familiar in this lighting."​"I am sure many people pass through this palace, Lady Isolde," I said, stepping past her onto the runner that led into the main dining room, "so you should probably focus on your own seat before the dinner starts.

  • Framed: The Alpha's Broken Vow   The Royal Invitation

    POV: Vaela​I sat at the table in the safehouse kitchen, staring at the formal letter resting beside my coffee cup, while Maya stood near the stove checking the security monitors on her tablet.​"Are you really going to ignore an invitation signed by Queen Evelyne herself?" Maya asked, turning around to look at me while she wiped her hands on a towel, "you know how she gets when people do not show up to her dinners."​"I do not care about her feelings or her dinner parties, Maya," I said, sliding the letter away from me without opening it again, "she called me to the palace because she wants to inspect my security company, and she wants to look into my face to see if I am going to cause trouble for her council."​"She also asked you to bring Nyra," Maya pointed out, stepping closer to the table and leaning against the chair, "which means someone inside the court has already told her about the girl."​"Nobody is taking my daughter anywhere near that palace," I said, my voice rising as
