The King was planning to starve us. I concluded, as he went on and on talking unnecessary gibberish about the generosity of the Queen, and my possible ascension to the throne.

Who sent him to blow my trumpet? And to what end was his praise? I bit on my lower lip, shifting from foot to foot, hearing the applause that exploded through the hall as he talked about my magic prowess for the umpteenth time.

Can we cut this bullshit already? I looked down, meeting Diana’s gaze. Of course she is aware of my unstable aura at the moment. But who would blame me? Did the king think that I craved attention like most would?

The applause died down after a few beats, but the ripples of curiosity in the room didn’t. As the Lycan King’s words settled into the air, I caught the glances then — some fleeting, some lingering — and the low murmurs that never truly stopped.

Diana’s hand clutched my left one tighter, her warmth grounding me even as my stomach gave a low, traitorous rumble. It was bad enough t

    ADAMI paced the common room until the floor beneath my boots felt worn thin by my steps. Back and forth. Back and forth.The space was large, meant for councils and celebrations, for laughter and raised cups and the easy noise of a pack at rest. Now it felt too open, too empty, every sound echoing back at me like an accusation.Three days. Three days since Sage had vanished into thin air.I dragged a hand through my hair, breath coming harder than it should have. Confusion sat heavy in my chest, tangled tightly with anger, worry, and a fear I refused to name aloud. I had sent warriors across the land—scouts, trackers. I had called in favors, debts owed from years past. I had ordered searches in places I had sworn never to involve my pack.Nothing.No scent. No magic residue. No whisper of her trail. It was as though she had never existed.The thought made something inside me splinter.I had seen this before. Felt it. Lived it.Maya. Dora.Women who had existed once, vividly, brightl

    “What did you say happened,” I demanded, my voice rising despite myself. “Start again.”Isla flinched like I’d struck her.She stood in the middle of the room with her hands clenched tight against her skirts, knuckles pale, eyes too bright. She still looked shaken, like she hadn’t fully returned to herself after whatever horror had unfolded hours ago. That alone should have warned me—Isla didn’t rattle easily.Something had happened to Sage.The thought had been coiling tighter in my chest since the first wave of pain had hit me in my study.I’d been reviewing reports, half-listening to the rain against the windows, when it struck without warning. A sudden, scorching agony ripped through my insides, so sharp it stole my breath. It felt as though something deep within me had torn in two.I’d lurched to my feet, chair skidding back, one hand braced on the desk as I sucked in air through clenched teeth. I’d checked myself instinctively—no wound, no blood, no visible cause. Confusion had

    Where were we?The words scraped out of my throat weakly as my eyes fluttered open. The world swam, darkness bleeding into shape slowly, reluctantly, like it resented being forced into clarity. Stone loomed overhead—jagged, ancient, slick with moisture that caught faint, wavering light. A cave.Not a small one.This place was vast, cathedral-wide, its ceiling stretching so high it disappeared into shadow. The mountain itself felt like it had swallowed us whole. Cold air pressed against my skin, heavy with the scent of earth and minerals, threaded with something sharper beneath it. Old smoke. Older magic.My body felt wrong. Heavy. Empty. As if something vital had been torn out of me and replaced with fire and ash.I tried to move, tried to push myself upright, but my arms trembled uselessly, barely responding. I was still in Darius’ arms.“Why…” My voice barely carried. “Why do I feel like this?”The question never finished settling before pain slammed into me.It ripped through my

    SAGEThe pain came in waves sharp enough to steal breath, then thought, then language.It felt as if my insides were tearing themselves apart and rebuilding wrong, like bones grinding to find new places, like veins unraveling and being threaded again by hands that did not care how much it hurt. I screamed until my throat went raw, until the sound fractured into something animal and humiliating, until even that was swallowed by the agony."What is happening to me," I sobbed, nails scraping uselessly against the floor.No answer came.I cursed the goddess first, loud and vicious, words spat with all the bitterness I'd swallowed over the years. I cursed Malek next, hope flaring stupidly that she might hear, that she might intervene.Nothing.I reached for her anyway, desperate, flinging my mind outward, searching for that familiar resistance, that divine pressure.There was nothing to grasp."Cowards," I gasped, the word ripped from me as another convulsion bent me nearly in half. "All

    SAGEI woke up craving blood.The awareness slid into me before my eyes opened, before my breath even found rhythm. It sat on my tongue first—metallic, sharp, a taste that wasn't there and yet was. My mouth watered in a way that had nothing to do with hunger as I knew it. Not bread. Not fruit. Not even meat.Blood.The word pulsed through me, unwelcome and undeniable.I lay there staring into the dark, my sheets twisted around my legs, my skin damp as if I'd been dragged out of deep water. My heart thudded hard enough to bruise from the inside. I swallowed, once, twice, trying to scrape the sensation away, but it clung—thirsty, insistent, alive.The nightmare unraveled itself in pieces when I blinked. Naked fellows, bodies pale and wrong, their mouths red, lunging hands, tearing teeth. I'd woken just before they reached me, a scream trapped behind my teeth.I told myself it was only that—the dream, the panic, my mind playing tricks in the hours before dawn.But the thirst didn't fad
