~Duncan POV

The sun had barely crested the horizon when I left the estate, the air crisp and biting. My bag, heavy with maps, journals, and relics of the northern archives, rested against my shoulder, but even it didn’t weigh as heavily as the thoughts in my mind. Rowan and Alice,my children. my heirs,were still years away from truly understanding the power within them. A whole year had passed since they were entrusted to the witches for training, and I would finally see th

    ~Iris povIt had been three days.Three very long, very exhausting days.And Duncan still wasn’t back.I had honestly thought,hoped,that the moment I told him his first son had shown up and was already causing problems, he would drop everything and return immediately.But no.Of course not.So here I was.Stuck.In the same house,With a man who walked like he owned the place, talked like he feared nothing, and looked at me like I was both his enemy and… something else I didn’t want to think about.I sighed as I stepped into the kitchen, the faint smell of toast and coffee wrapping around me.Mira was already there,Of course she was.She stood by the counter, casually flipping toast like she didn’t have a care in the world.“Good morning, Luna,” she said, handing me a cup of coffee.“Hey, Mira,” I replied, taking it. “What are you doing here? You slept over?”

    ~kael.I didn’t slam the door.I wanted to.But I didn’t.Instead, I closed it slowly behind me, the quiet click echoing louder than any noise I could have made.Control.That’s what Eunice taught me.Control before chaos. Always.Still…My jaw tightened as I walked down the hallway, my hands flexing slightly at my sides.I could still feel it.Her.The heat of her skin when I pinned her to the wall. The defiance in her eyes when she should have been afraid. The way she stood there after I threw her,like it didn’t matter.Like I didn’t matter.I let out a low breath, dragging a hand through my hair.“That woman…” I muttered under my breath.She wasn’t what I expected.Not even close.I thought I’d walk in, see someone soft. Manipulative. Maybe even desperate to hold onto power.Instead?I got… that.Someone

    ~ Iris “Kael… what do you want?”My voice came out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t care. I was tired,mentally, emotionally,and he had walked in here like a storm I didn’t ask for.He didn’t answer immediately.Instead, he moved past me like he owned the room, like I was the intruder, and dropped onto the bed with careless ease.“Sit,” he said, gesturing lazily.I blinked.Then scoffed.“I don’t want to. Thanks,” I replied, folding my arms across my chest.He didn’t even look offended.“Suit yourself.”He reached for the glass on the table,my glass,and took a slow sip like he had every right to it.The audacity.“Iris Rivera,” he said after a moment, his gaze finally lifting to me. “You’re even prettier in person.”I didn’t respond.Not to that.Not to him.He smirked slightly, like my silence amused him.“So,” he continued, swirling the wine in the glass, “I’m guessing you want me gone.”I stayed quiet.“You hate me. You don’t want me here.” He leaned back, stretching slightly.

    ~ Iris POVI paced the length of the room, my steps sharp against the polished floor, irritation building with every unanswered call.Duncan wasn’t picking up.Of course he wasn’t.That man had a habit of disappearing the exact moment something important happened. Important like this. Important like his long-lost son,his first son..walking into my council chamber like he owned it.“Unbelievable…” I muttered under my breath, pulling the phone away from my ear before tossing it onto the bed.Silence followed.Heavy. Suffocating.My mind refused to rest.How did he find this place?How did he know so much about me?About everything?My stomach tightened.Eunice.It had to be her.That woman never moved without purpose. Never spoke without planting something dangerous underneath her words.I exhaled slowly and reached for the glass on the side table, pouring myself a drink with slightly unsteady hands. The liquid burned down my throat, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.Noth

    ~ Kael POVI spent 3 hours on the road, with Eunice blackwood. We bought some clothes, some snacks on the way. We talked and talked untill she fell asleep on my shoulders. “I love this woman.” I said within myself.On getting to the airport, I came out and there she was about to leave me, till I win this. “ You okay?” She asked.“ I should be asking you.” I said as I tucked her hair behind her stressed face. “ I'm fine kael as long as you are.” She said.“ Then im fine.” I answered and we both laughed.“Remember kael! Don't get to close. Anyone who gets too close to her falls for her. That's how beautiful she is.” She said “ You sound threatened.” “ I sound realistic.”“ Did you fall for her?” I asked.“ I…I didnt.” She said.I looked at her for long then sighed, “ okay bye aunt. I will call you once I get there.” “ Sure love you.” She said.“ Love you too.”The council chamber smelled like power.Old wood. Burning candles. Control.I stood at the doorway for a moment longer th

    ~Iris POVThe council chamber was quiet, the soft flicker of candlelight casting warm, golden shadows across the room. I sat at the head of the table, papers spread out before me, the waxy scent of candles mingling with the faint aroma of polished wood. Mira sat across from me, eyes sharp as always, and we were in the middle of a discussion about alliance negotiations, pack territories, and resource distribution. Every detail mattered,one misstep, one overlooked clause, and the balance of power could tip dangerously.Duncan had gone out to check some Territories yesterday and hasn't returned yet. He placed a phone call tho, that he would spend a week there.“Alpha Luna,” one of the elder council members said, voice measured. “We need to ensure the northern packs honor the new treaty before the next full moon. Otherwise, we risk further border skirmishes.”I nodded, my pen pausing above a parchment. “Agreed. I’ll send word immediately. We also need to monitor the western borders…Lucien

    ~Alpha Duncan I ended the call and stared at my phone for a long moment before setting it down.Eunice was angry. I could hear it beneath her carefully chosen words. Good. Let her be. Anger made people careless and Eunice was dangerous only when she felt in control.I remember when we were little,

I passed the nurses’ station and one of them looked up, smiling and twisting her hair nervously.“Good evening, sir… how may I help you?” she asked.“I’m looking for a boy. He

    Iris' POVThe cell was cold.Not just the metal bench or the concrete walls but the kind of cold that crept into my bones and stayed there. I sat with my knees pulled to my chest, arms wrapped tightly around myself like that could somehow keep everything from falling apart.I couldn’t believe this
