LUCIA~

I screamed so loud, I bet they could hear it for miles. But it wasn’t for him, it was for the lie Julius had fed me all along. The letters. Crumpled, ash-edged confessions Killian had shoved under my nose in this stinking mill chamber, shadows licking the walls like starving tongues.

Julius knew.

He knew his enemies wore his face to gut Teja, he’d burned the proof to bury his own sins. Mate bond be damned, how could I feel his rage echoing through the silver chains now, a phantom claw at my ribs.

“Pathetic, isn’t it?” Killian’s voice cut the gloom. He leaned in, knife tracing my collarbone, nicking the mate mark. “Your Alpha’s a thief, stole my mate, my honor. Now he’ll watch me steal you.”

“Steal me?” I spat blood, twisting against the chains. “You couldn’t steal a breath without your demon tricks. What’s wrong, Nightingale? Too scared to fight fair?”

He laughed, thumb pressing my throat. “Fire like Teja’s. She screamed your name, ‘Run, Lucia!’ while his face watched her blee

    LUCIA ~"Because," Seraphine said softly, "the vision wasn't just yours. It rippled through the supernatural network like a stone dropped in still water."My stomach twisted. "That's impossible.""Is it?" She tilted her head. "You shattered every mirror in the east wing without touching them. You projected a shared vision to your mate. What exactly do you think is impossible anymore?"Julius's hand tightened on my shoulder. "Get to the point.""The point is that your Luna is broadcasting." Seraphine set down her tablet. "Whatever power is awakening in her isn't contained anymore. It's reaching out, touching everything sensitive enough to feel it."Elder Mira cleared her throat. "Then she is dangerous.""I didn't say dangerous," Seraphine corrected her quickly. "I said she was broadcasting. There's a difference.""Not to this pack," Mira snapped. "If she can't control her power, she puts every one of us at risk.""I'm sitting right here," I said coldly.Mira's gaze slid to me. "Then pe

    LUCIA ~I woke up with a gasp, my body jerking off the bed so violently I almost fell off the bed.The sheets were tangled around my legs, damp with sweat. My heart hammered against my ribs like it was trying to escape. The room was dark, like completely dark, and for a terrifying moment I couldn't remember where I was.Killian.The name burned through my mind. He'd been here. In this room. Standing by the window with that cruel smile, offering me truths I desperately wanted.I scrambled for the bedside lamp, my hands shaking so badly it took three tries to find the switch.Light flooded the room.Empty. Completely empty.The window was closed and the curtains were drawn. No shadows moved in the corners. No trace of smoke or that suffocating presence."It was a dream," I whispered, pressing my hands to my face. "Just a dream."But my palm burned where the mark lay, hot and insistent.I looked down at it. The golden lines glowed faintly, pulsing in rhythm with my racing heart. That was

    JULIUS ~I continued to watch her, her beautiful form bathed in the golden sunlight like some of kind of vision I didn’t deserve to see.My mind continued to race. Different questions forming in it.Did he already get to her first? What exactly did he tell when they were together?The thought tore at my insides, vicious and insistent. I pressed my palm against the window, the cool glass doing nothing to calm the fire burning through my veins.My phone buzzed again. Another message.She remembers more than you think. Ask her about the mirrors. I almost crushed the phone in my hand as I pressed it so tight. The screen cracked a bit under the pressure. Killian’s games were getting bolder and even more taunting. The bastard was doing everything to provoke me and it seems to be working. But I was done playing the defense.“Axel!” I barked into the mind link. “Come to my office. Now!”He showed up within minutes, looking confused but at alert. “What happened, Alpha?”I tossed my phone unto

    JULIUS ~I find Lucia in the corridor, her back to me, staring out at the courtyard below. The meeting ended twenty minutes ago, but she hasn't moved.She stood there with her back against the wall, breathing slowly and deeply, like she was holding some heavy truth inside her chest and trying to keep it from spilling out."Lucia."She turns. Smiles. "Hey."That smile doesn't reach her eyes.“You handled that beautifully”, I said with pride, even though I was still concerned for her.She looked up at me, saying "Did you hear?""Wolves gossip faster than wildfire." I smiled fondly at her, even though I wasn’t really feeling like it.She reached up and touched my shirt, her fingers curling in them slightly.“I feel… different,” She admitted. It sounded like she just wanted to pour her heart out to me. “Not in a bad way. Just… shifted.”I cupped the side of her face. “You’re finding yourself,” I whispered. “That’s all.”She's here, but she feels far away.My wolf whines inside me, confuse

    LUCIA ~The conversation I heard was all I could think of, I hardly barely slept. My body still feels strangely energized, it was humming with something I couldn’t name. The new way they looked at me, the whispers, and even my growing feelings for Julius, they all seem to be messing with my head.I pushed it all away with a sigh.Today, is not a day for strange feelings. There is no room for panic or confusion. I am going to focus on only Luna things today.I dressed slowly and carefully, trying my best to look the part of the perfect Luna. The pack house buzzed with its usual chaos. Wolves moved through hallways with purpose, nodding respectfully as I passed. Some even bowed their heads slightly, a gesture of submission I still wasn't used to."Luna Lucia," Axel greeted me near the main hall. "The pack Alphas' mates are gathering in the meeting room, along with some elder she-wolves. They're hoping you'll join them.""Of course." I forced warmth into my smile. "I'll be right there."

    LUCIA ~When I woke up, the bed was empty. Julius had insisted we sleep in the same room, so he can keep an eye on me. But he must have left before sunrise, he said something about having an early start yesterday.I lay there for a moment, staring at the faint outline of his body on the bed. The warmth was still there, as if he just stood up from the bed. I reached across the sheets to touch it.When did I start missing him so much? A few weeks ago, all I had wanted was to kill him, but now I was missing him.“Get a hold of yourself,” I said to myself, pushing the covers aside. “You are fine.”Only that I didn’t really feel fine. Every senses in my body is heightened. I could hear the footsteps down the hall, I could someone humming in the kitchen downstairs. The smell of coffee drifted under the door, making my mouth water.I shook my head to clear it. Maybe it was nerves, or exhaustion, i can't say. I dressed quickly, settling for something casual, and stepped into the hallway.As
