“My lord…” One of the elders began, but his words died in his throat. They were only shocked to see that it was all a false alarm.

No one spoke. The tension hung thick and suffocating.

Nyssa rose up slowly, brushing invisible dust off her night robe. Her eyes shifted to Alice and Papa Ganda; they were unharmed. Although Papa Ganda was without his staff, which was rare, Alice was dressed in her nightwear. They had been dragged out without any proper explanation.

Her gaze shifted to Lucien.

“First night here and I'm already tagged a murderer.” Her voice was surprisingly calm, “So this was what you meant by protecting me at all costs?”

Lucien's face darkened. Her words struck sharper than any blade. He said nothing, but Nyssa wasn’t finished.

The tone used was one of mockery as she added, “What else was I expecting from a vegetable Alpha who doesn't know how to dress himself for a royal party?”

The crowd gasped. Lucien’s fists clenched at his sides, his jaw tight.

    “Say that again,” he said, his voice coming out low and dangerously calm.Lucy shook her head, tears already gathering in her eyes. “Lucien, I…. I didn’t mean—”“I said, say it again!”Her voice cracked. “Sister Lillian said… she said she was done obeying you. She agreed that Fabian was right and they were planning to speak to the elders.”“Speak to the elders for what” Lucien growled, trying to keep calm.“To dethrone.. you.” The words came out as a whisper. She did know how Lucien was going to react, but she was sure it would cause chaos.The silence that followed was deafening. The faint waves of the wind blowing against the flowers, Lucien’s eyes darkened.He didn’t need Lucy to repeat it again. He’d heard enough. Fabien had turned his sister, his own blood against him.Nyssa stepped forward cautiously, her hand brushing against his arm. “Lucien…”But he was already gone before she could finish, storming out of the garden gates and into the main pack. His footsteps echoed on the f

    Nyssa had already visited two Lunarsmiths that morning, and both had said the same thing. They hadn’t made the seal. The first had taken one look at it and laughed softly, saying the design was far too old for anything made in recent years. The second had tilted his head, rubbed the edge of the parchment between his fingers, and told her that whoever crafted it had great skill.By noon, she had gotten really tired. She walked through the market, but there was no information, wondering if it was all a waste of time. She sat down to get some rest. When a lady approached her.“You look like you’ve been walking for hours,” said the woman, balancing a basket of herbs on her arm. Her tone was light, curious.Nyssa stood quickly. “I’m looking for a Lunarsmith,” she said. “One that might recognize an old seal.”The woman smiled. “You’ve probably gone to the wrong ones. There’s a man everyone talks about. They say he’s the best in the trade. Even the elders come to him when they want something

    Fabian sat beside Lillian on the bed. His movement was calm, A bowl of warm water and a clean cloth rested on the table beside him. He dipped the cloth into the water, squeezed it lightly, and pressed it gently against the scratches on her arm. Lillian flinched a little but said nothing.He worked quietly, but there was something in his gaze that felt he was holding back, and she noticed it…. Every now and then, he would glance at her, then look away quickly, his jaw tightening as if holding back words.Lillian noticed. “What is it?” she asked, watching his face closely.Fabian didn’t respond immediately. He rinsed the cloth again, focused on her arm as though he didn't hear the question. “Nothing,” he said finally.Lillian raised a brow. “You’re lying,” she said softly. “I can tell when something’s bothering you.”He hesitated, his hands pausing midair. Then he sighed and set the cloth down. “It’s not important.”“Fabian,” Lillian said, her tone held worry. “Talk to me. Please.”He m

    Nyssa didn’t waste any more time as she got up from the bench.Papa Ganda was the only person she could think of who might help. Even if it meant using a spell to get whatever was written on the letter.He was in his usual corner of the packhouse, surrounded by his books and little bottles filled with herbs and dust. He looked up the moment she walked in, a faint smile forming on his wrinkled face.“Ah, Nyssa,” he said. “You look troubled again. What is it this time?”Nyssa walked closer and placed the scroll on the table before him. “Papa Ganda, I need your help,” she said quickly. “There’s something written on this scroll, but it’s too faint to read. Is there a spell that can make the words appear again?”Papa Ganda chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “A spell?” he repeated, amused. “Child, you think spells work like ink? That you can wave your hand and make words appear? This looks like an old letter.”Nyssa frowned. “So you can’t?”“I didn’t say that,” he said, still smiling. “Bu

    Nyssa turned the scroll over in her hands, studying it carefully. The parchment was old, its edges brittle and slightly torn. She could make out faint lines of ink, but most of the words had faded into brown smudges. Her brows furrowed as she squinted, trying to make sense of it.“What does it say?” Alice asked, leaning over her shoulder.“I can’t tell,” Nyssa murmured. “It’s too faint. The letters look like… symbols or maybe numbers.”Alice took it from her and tried to read, but after a few seconds, she sighed and shook her head. “It’s too old. Even if it were words, the ink’s almost gone. You’d need someone who specializes in ancient scripts to make out anything from this.”Nyssa frowned. “That might take too long. We don’t have time for that.”Alice shrugged slightly. “I think you should show it to Alpha Lucien, he might be able to read the words.”Nyssa hesitated, her fingers tracing the old seal at the bottom of the parchment. It wasn’t the royal crest. That alone made her unea

    Lucien’s jaw tightened as he walked through the long, torch-lit corridor of the underground passage. The air was heavy and cold. Behind him, Lillian followed reluctantly, her arms crossed, she didn't want to be there.Fabian trailed beside her, his expression calm but smug, a faint curl of satisfaction always lingering on his lips.Lucien noticed it. Every glance, every smirk Fabian gave felt like a defeat. He had always known that Fabian could be manipulative, but to see him wield that much control over his sister so easily unsettled him in ways he couldn’t explain.“Why are we here, Lucien,” Lilian growled, irritation evident in her voice.Still, he kept his composure. “You’ll see why I brought you here,” he said curtly, his tone clipped. “After that, you can make your judgments.”Lillian scoffed softly. “I already know what I want,” she muttered under her breath, but he ignored her.They reached the end of the passage and a heavy iron door stood before them, guarded by two warriors.
