Aria's pov

Through the glass wall, I saw him.

Kade sat in the private booth like a king on his throne: dark hair perfectly styled, jaw sharp enough to cut glass, tailored suit hugging his broad shoulders. One hand rested along the back of the velvet seat, the other wrapped around a glass he hadn’t touched;

    Kade’s head snapped up. “What?” I shouldn’t have said it. It was too soon, too direct, and if Claire found out I knew— But the damage was done. “The incense, Kade. The tea. The drugs Claire’s been feeding you for months to keep you compliant and confused.” I kept my voice level. “Did you really think I wouldn’t notice? That no one would notice?” He looked genuinely confused. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “The headaches. The tremors. The paranoia. The fact that you can barely make a decision without Claire’s input anymore.” I leaned forward. “You’ve been drugged, Kade. Systematically. For months.” “That’s—” He stopped. Looked down at his hands, which were trembling slightly. “That’s impossible.” “Is it? When did you last go a full day without Claire’s special tea? Without that incense she burns in your chambers?” “She was helping me relax. I’ve been stressed—” “You’ve been poisoned.” The word landed like a stone. Kade stared at me, and I watched the denial war wi

    Kade’s POV The pack house felt heavier than usual as I made my way through the quieter corridors the next morning. The trials had paused for a brief rest day, giving wolves time to recover and elders time to deliberate on the standings. My body still ached from yesterday’s bouts, but the herbs Aria had given me continued to work their quiet magic, keeping the fog at bay and my thoughts sharper than they had been in weeks. Yet something else gnawed at me. Riven. The way he had looked when he walked into the dining hall last night, shock, then something darker flashing across his face before he shut it down. The stiffness in his bow. The way he had barely met my eyes on the trials ground afterward. He had been off ever since Aria returned, and it wasn’t just concern for the pack. There was something personal there. Something I couldn’t quite place. I had considered confronting him directly. Pulling him aside and demanding answers. But Riven was loyal, sometimes to a fault, and

Sapphire stayed quiet after that one smug huff earlier, but I could feel her coiled inside me alert, waiting, and almost excited.When the sky outside the small window finally

    Claire’s pov I screamed, my throat-tearing as the scalding soup continued to eat into my skin. It burned everywhere. My eyelids, my cheeks, even the delicate skin around my mouth. “My face! my face!” I shrieked, stumbling blindly, my arms flailing for anything: a towel, a sheet, just something, a

    Claire's POVI slammed her back against the heavy oak door of the supply room so hard the hinges rattled. The head omega, tall, broad-shouldered, and always carrying herself like she owned the place let out a sharp gasp. Her tray of folded linens clattered to the floor between us.“Luna… what… what
