Lucien's POV

For several days in a row, Ravena was kept locked in her room. Each day, I made sure the servants brought her meals at set hours, nothing more, nothing less. No one dared to speak to her. Even her personal maid was forbidden from stepping close. I wanted her broken and stripped of every bit of fight left in her.

At first I thought she would scream through the walls or throw herself at the door. But the longer the silence lasted, the heavier it pressed on me. Deep down, I wondered if she thought I had abandoned her. The thought left a strange twist in my chest, one I quickly buried. I could not afford pity, not for her.

I spent those days in the council chamber with my father. His voice filled the room with talk of punishment, of stripping Ravena of her wealth and forcing her to kneel. He just wanted her name erased from every corner of this pack.

“Her pride is her strength,” Father said, his gaze piercing as he leaned forward. “Break that, and she will have nothing.”

    Evander's POVAlaric stared at me, his jaw clenched so tightly I thought it might crack.I approached him slowly, reached out and took the broken glass from his bleeding hand. He let me, though his body remained tense.After setting the shattered pieces aside, I grabbed a clean glass from the sideboard and poured fresh whiskey into it, the amber liquid sparkling in the firelight.Then I placed the glass in his hand, gently wrapping his fingers around it."Drink," I whispered. "And just breathe."For a long moment, he just stood there, his gaze shifting between the glass, me, and the empty space around us.Then, slowly, he raised the glass to his lips and took a few sips.I waited patiently and quietly.Finally, he set the glass down and looked at me. His eyes were still hard, still angry, but they were human again."Feeling better?" I asked."No, but I am in control.""Good," I nodded.

    Evander's POVThe banquet was winding down. People were still laughing and drinking, but the energy had changed. The lively celebration was giving way to something… quieter.As I stood by the head table, watching Ravena leave with the servant, my chest felt tight.I did not like not knowing what they were discussing. But I forced myself to stay calm."Evander."I turned to see my brother standing beside me. His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp and observant."It looks like mother is quite interested in the young princess," he remarked casually.I nodded slowly. "It certainly seems so.""She has been asking about her," Alaric continued. "About her accomplishments. Her character. Her future."I felt a knot form in my jaw. "Has she, now?”"Yes," he smirked. “I imagine they are having quite the conversation right now."I said nothing. Just stared across the room, my

    Ravena's POVQueen Seraphine leaned forward slightly, her expression gentle but serious. "Marriage, Ravena. It is time to think about marriage."My heart immediately sank and everything inside me went cold."Marriage?""Yes, you are at the perfect age. You have status. You have influence. A strategic marriage could strengthen your position and secure your family's legacy for years to come.”I was taken aback, my thoughts swirling.She wanted me to get married again?"I… uhmm I have no intention of getting married," I whispered, keeping my voice calm despite the storm raging inside me. "Not now. Not anytime soon."Seraphine's expression did not change. She just watched me with those knowing eyes."I understand your hesitation," she said gently. "After what happened with Lucien, it is natural to be cautious. But not all marriages are the same, Ravena. Not all men are like him."“I kn

    Ravena's POVI turned to Evander, expecting to see understanding or maybe even reassurance. But instead, his face had gone completely still. His jaw was tight, and his eyes suddenly hard."What does my mother want?" he asked, his voice sharp enough to startle the servant.The girl stepped back slightly, her eyes wide with fear. "I... I don't know, Your Highness. She only said it was urgent.""And she didn't say why?""No, Your Highness," the servant stammered. "She just asked me to bring Princess Ravena to her."“You should have…”"Evander," I interrupted quietly, reaching out to touch his arm. "It’s fine."He looked at me, his eyes still hard. "You don't know that.""I know that you are scaring the poor girl," I teased, nodding towards the servant who looked like she was about to cry. "There is no need to interrogate her. She is just doing her job."Evander's jaw clenched ti

    Ravena's POVI leaned back in my chair, letting the noise of the banquet wash over me. The laughter, music, and the clinking of glasses. It all felt distant, like I was watching it from somewhere far away.My eyes drifted across the room, taking in faces. Officials. Warriors. People I knew and people I did not. All of them celebrating. All of them happy.And then my gaze landed on Garrick Throne.He stood near the entrance, his face red and twisted with rage. His eyes swept the room until they found me. And when they did, they burned.Pure hatred.I met his gaze without flinching. Without emotion. Just stared back at him, calm and unbothered.For a moment, we just looked at each other. A silent battle of wills.Then I saw the hesitation and the fear.His eyes flicked to King Alaric sitting beside me. Then to Prince Evander on my other side. Then back to me.It was clear he wanted to confront me. I co

    The Third PovHigh-ranking officials from every major territory were in the grand hall, their fine clothes and jewels glittering under the chandeliers.This was more than a celebration. This was a display of power. Of hierarchy. Of who mattered and who did not.At the head of the room, seated beside King Alaric and Prince Evander, was General Ravena. Her posture was straight, and her expression composed. She looked like she belonged there. Like she had always belonged there.And maybe she had.Meanwhile, Garrick Throne stood near the entrance, his hands clenched into fists at his sides and his face red with anger.His family should have been the ones sitting at the head table. His son should have been the one honoured by the king. His daughter in law should have been the one praised by the wolf tribes.Instead, they were nowhere to be seen. And Ravena, that wretched cast-off woman, sat in the place of honour like a queen
