Kael POV

Tracing the Darkness

The palace smelled like fear.

Not the loud kind.

Not screaming panic.

Quiet fear.

The dangerous kind.

The kind that spread slowly through walls and whispers until it infected everyone.

I stood in the infirmary doorway, watching as healers worked frantically around the injured wolves.

Some groaned weakly.

Some lay completely still.

Too still.

And one…

Didn’t move at all.

Another death.

Another body.

Another mystery.

Lucien stood beside one of the stone tables, his a

    Kael POVThe Next TargetUnderstanding her plan didn’t make things easier.It made them worse.Because now we knew this wasn’t chaos.This wasn’t madness.This was design.Carefully built.Step by step.Death by death.I stood in the war chamber with Lucien and Riven, staring down at the territory map again.Only now…The problem wasn’t outside.It was inside.Every death marked inside the palace changed the way we thought.Changed the way we moved.Changed the way we trusted.“She’s escalating targets,” Lucien said quietly.I nodded.“Yes.”Servants first.Then healers.Each one more important than the last.Each one weakening us further.Riven slammed his hand against the table.“So who’s next?” he demanded.Silence followed his question.Because we all knew the answer.Even if none of us wanted to say it.Lucien spoke first.“Someone close to Hannah.”My jaw tightened immediately.That thought had been sitting in my mind all night.Growing heavier.Darker.More dangerous.“Her moth

    Lucien POVThe Pattern Reveals ItselfThe healer’s body changed everything.Servants were one thing.Healers were another.But this…This was strategy.Calculated.Purposeful.Deliberate.I crouched beside the symbol burned into the stone floor, studying every line carefully. The edges still glowed faintly, pulsing with leftover energy.Fresh.Very fresh.“She didn’t rush this,” I murmured.Kael stood behind me, silent but tense.Riven paced nearby like a predator waiting to strike.“What do you see?” Kael asked.I traced the edge of the symbol without touching it.“This isn’t just draining,” I said.“This is collecting.”Riven stopped pacing.“Collecting what?”“Power,” I replied.Silence followed.Heavy.Dangerous.Kael stepped closer.“For what purpose?”That was the question.The one that mattered most.I studied the structure again.The design.The pattern.And then…Something clicked.Cold realization settled deep in my chest.“She’s building toward something,” I said quietly.R

    Hannah POVFear Finds a FaceI couldn’t sit still anymore.Not after hearing about the second death.Not after seeing the way their faces changed when they spoke.Something inside me felt like it was tightening… pulling… warning me.Danger was getting closer.Too close.“Who was it?” I asked quietly.Lucien didn’t answer right away.Kael glanced at him, then back at me.“A male servant,” he said.That didn’t comfort me.It didn’t make it easier.Because every death inside this palace felt personal now.Every life lost felt like the walls were cracking.Riven leaned against the doorframe, watching me carefully.“She left symbols again,” he added.My chest tightened.“Symbols?”Lucien nodded.“Carved into the wall.”That made my stomach twist painfully.Because that meant something deliberate.Something cruel.Something meant to frighten us.Or… meant to frighten me.My mother shifted behind me again, her breathing sounding uneven.I turned instantly toward her.“Mom?”Her face looked p

    Riven POVThe Next StrikeFinding that tunnel beneath Hannah’s room changed everything.Everything.No more guessing.No more hoping.Selene wasn’t outside.She wasn’t watching from afar.She was inside our territory.Inside our palace.Moving beneath us like a snake in the dark.And I hated snakes.I stood in the main corridor, arms crossed tightly over my chest, watching guards rush past carrying tools, ropes, and torches.Every entrance.Every passage.Every forgotten corner was being searched.Kael’s orders.Lucien’s planning.My enforcement.Together, we were locking this place down tighter than ever before.Still…It didn’t feel like enough.Nothing felt like enough anymore.“Report,” I barked as a guard approached.“Tunnel sealed beneath the eastern wing,” he replied quickly.“Western wing secured as well.”Good.But not good enough.Because we were still reacting.Still fixing damage instead of preventing it.Lucien stepped into the corridor moments later, his expression sharp

    Hannah POV Something Beneath My Feet The sound came again. Soft. Dragging. Like something heavy moving across stone. Right beneath the floor. My heart slammed hard against my ribs. “Mom…” I whispered, gripping her hand tightly. She watched my face carefully now, her expression shifting from calm to alert. “You heard it again?” she asked. I nodded slowly. “Yes.” Another faint scrape echoed beneath us. Closer this time. Too close. My throat tightened. “It’s under the room,” I whispered. Fear curled tightly in my chest like something alive. My mother pushed herself slightly upright, her movements slower than usual. Her strength was fading. I could see it clearly now. And that terrified me more than whatever was beneath us. “Call them,” she said quietly. I didn’t hesitate. I moved quickly toward the door and pulled it open. The guards outside turned instantly. “Alpha Kael,” I said quickly. “Something is moving beneath my room.” They exchanged brief looks befor

    Lucien POVInto the TunnelsThe torches flickered like they knew something we didn’t.Like even fire feared what waited beneath the palace.I walked ahead of the search party, boots striking against the old stone floor of the underground passage. The air down here smelled different.Old.Damp.Forgotten.No one had walked these tunnels in years.Maybe decades.Which made them the perfect hiding place.Riven followed closely behind me, holding a torch high while scanning the walls carefully.Kael walked beside us, silent but alert, every movement sharp and calculated.“How many tunnels are there?” Riven muttered.“Too many,” Kael answered.“That helpful, brother,” Riven replied dryly.I ignored them both, focusing instead on the markings carved into the stone walls.Ancient symbols.Half-erased.Faded by time.But still there.Still dangerous.“This place shouldn’t be abandoned,” I said quietly.Kael glanced at me.“It wasn’t meant to be,” he replied.“But time made people forget.”For
