LOGINLira's POV We traveled through the night. Walking was not easy, but the pain did not feel as strong. Almira stayed close and supported me whenever the path was covered in stones.Alura moved ahead with sharp focus. Her eyes stayed on the forest around us. Even the smallest movement made her turn quickly, her hand going straight to the dagger at her side.It was clear she had not forgotten what happened to her during the war. The fear was still there, hidden under the way she carried herself.Damien kept his attention on the map in his hands. He barely looked up as he walked. No matter how much I tried to see what was on it, the markings made no sense to me.After a short distance, voices began to rise in the air. It sounded like a gathering. There was laughter, distant howls, and the crackle of what felt like a bonfire.Damien lifted his head and listened. Then he turned to us and the carriage rider.“You will take another route to the smaller settlements,” he said. “We meet here on

Lira's POV Salcan took his place at the center of the stage, and I studied him closely. My eyes lingered on his face, his posture, and how carried himself. There was definitely something different about him. The light from the torches reflected off him in a strange way. I thought that was what had caught my attention. But the longer I looked at him, the more I realized it wasn't the lighting at all. The first thing I noticed was his hair. Silver strands had begun to appear among the dark ones. I had known my father my entire life, and in our family, silver hair only appeared in the women. Seeing it on him immediately told me that something had gone terribly wrong. Then there were his eyes. They had always been a deep brown. On every full moon, especially when he drew power from the moon, they would turn gold, just like every other alpha. But now, they were silver. A chill ran through me. I had only seen eyes turn that color once before, and I remembered exactly what had fol

Salcan's POVI had waited for the General since the first light of dawn, just like he requested, and still, that wretch didn't grace me with his presence. The moment the sun took its position in the sky, I realised that I had been made to stand idle like some abandoned rogue. It wasn't disrespectfu
Lira's POV I couldn't feel my legs under me anymore. All I could feel was my heart, beating forcefully in my chest. I held on to Damien's body as it hit the ground. But that was the least of my worries. The moment the General saw that he had missed me, he lost it.He tried again, lifting the small
Salcan's POVI had been trying to contact Seav for hours. I rolled the mixed herbs once again. “Seav should have answered by now,” I wondered, placing the herbs into a bowl. “Unless she has decided to stop listening to me… or worse, she's dead.”I hissed under my breath. Maybe I mixed the herbs wro
Lira's POV The moment Damien and I finally pulled apart, it was as if reality snapped back into place. We straightened immediately, both of us clearing our throats, suddenly aware of Alia standing there, arms folded. She was staring straight at us with a smile spread across her face.Damien's gaze
