Lyra POV

The smell hit me first, making my stomach turn violently.

Blood, wolfsbane, and something metallic filled the air, making my wolf lurch forward before I could stop her.

I had pushed past the two guards outside without waiting for permission.

A few minutes ago, Cassian had come into my room, looking downcast. He’d been that way for two days now. After the verdict, Asher and Vivienne had returned to Ashford Dominion while we left the Summit grounds and returned to the palace. Somehow, I

    Lyra POVHe opened his mouth to say something, but then our gaze met again, and whatever he saw there made him pause. A muscle jumped in his jaw, and he stepped aside and moved to stand next to me."We don't know," he said quietly. "His wolf is manifesting outside his body. The doctors can't explain it. They've never seen it before."“I heard something about getting the traditional healers.”“Yes.” Dorian nodded. “We’re hoping they can explain what’s going on with him, but they’ve been struggling to resuscitate him for the past thirty minutes. He keeps going on and off.”Pain clawed up my throat until I could taste it. I moved past Dorian, but he caught my wrist again, pulling me to his side. “What are you doing, Lyra? You can’t be there. You’ll only—”“Please, Dorian,” I cried out, struggling against his hold. “I need to see him, please. I need to be near.”“I understand you’re worried about him, but please—” I didn’t allow the words to finish from his mouth before I pulled out of h

    Lyra POVThe IV came out easier than I expected.I didn't think about it. I didn't give myself time to. I just pinched the tape, pulled the needle free, and pressed the gauze from my hand against the spot where blood beaded on my skin. The sting was sharp but brief — nothing compared to the burns still healing underneath the bandages.I swung my legs off the bed. The hospital gown hung loose around me, and the tile was cold under my bare feet. My head swam for a second — the silver flush still working through my system — but I steadied myself on the bed rail and waited until the room stopped tilting.Then I walked out.The corridor was empty. The nurses' station at the far end was unmanned — whoever was on duty had probably followed the commotion. I could hear it now, faint but growing as I moved. I heard voices, all sounding urgent, mixed with overlapping talk from people who didn’t know what to do and were trying to figure it out at the same time. Without thinking, I followed the s

    Lyra POVI turned on the bed for what had to be the hundredth time.The hospital gown itched against my skin. The IV line tugged at the crook of my arm every time I moved, and the room smelled like disinfectant and something faintly metallic — the silver flush, the nurse had called it. They'd been running it through my system since yesterday, pulling the traces of silver from my blood while monitoring my vitals every few hours. My hands were still wrapped in soft gauze where the burns had blistered, the skin raw and tight underneath.The baby was fine. The doctor had confirmed it twice — once after the initial examination, and again this morning when I'd asked a third time. No traces of silver had crossed into the womb. The concealment held, as it always did, quiet and total, as if the child existed in a space the world couldn't reach.But they still wanted me here. Twenty-four hours of observation, they said. The wolfsbane residue was harder to flush than the silver. It clung to the

    Asher POV"How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am, Elliot?"He didn’t say anything. “ANSWER ME!” I yelled. "You're the Alpha of Ashford Dominion.""That's right. And you work in my pack. You eat my food, sleep under my protection, and treat patients in a clinic that my family built. Every instrument in this room, every vial of medicine in your cabinet, every salary that pays your staff — it comes from this pack. From me. So when I ask you for something, you do it without complaints.”Elliot was quiet for a few seconds, then stepped back, widening the distance between us. “That doesn’t place you above medical law, Alpha. The Werewolf Medical Accords exist for a reason. No Alpha — regardless of rank — has the authority to compel a physician to breach patient confidentiality. That protection exists to ensure that pack members can seek medical care without fear of their personal information being used against them."A muscle ticked in my jaw as my vision blurred with a

    Asher POVI moved away from the desk and stood by the window.The clinic overlooked the eastern training grounds, where a handful of warriors were running drills in the late afternoon light. From here, I could see the gaps in their formation — two positions unmanned, a third filled by a boy barely old enough to have shifted for the first time. This was what half-capacity looked like. Not dramatic collapse. Just slow erosion, the kind you didn't notice until the wall gave way.Then I heard footsteps in the corridor, the door opening, and then a pause at the door."Alpha."Elliot Crane stepped inside and closed the door behind him. He was wearing his white coat, a stethoscope draped around his neck, a clipboard tucked under his arm. His face was composed, and as always, he wore that annoying professional look he always had around me. I knew he bore animosity towards me because of his friendship with Lyra, and he never bothered to hide it. I didn’t turn from the window or acknowledge hi

    Asher POV"...and the northern border patrols have been running at half capacity since the Luna's departure. We've had two incursions in the past week alone — minor ones, but they're testing us. They know we're vulnerable."Elder Harmon's voice was a steady drone at the far end of the table, but it reached me like sound through water. I heard the words, but I didn't process them. My body was in the council chamber at Ashford Dominion, sitting at the head of the long oak table where I had sat for every pack meeting since I became Alpha, but my mind was back in that hearing room.The child is not yours, Alpha Voss.Lyra's voice. Flat and controlled. She hadn't flinched when she said it or looked away. She'd stood there in front of the Council and denied me with the same composure she wore when she served dinner to guests who didn't know she existed.And the worst part — the part that had been circling my mind for days like a wolf pacing the walls of a cage — was that I couldn't tell if
