I couldn't believe my ears. Dachery had killed a young girl. An innocent over something he could have spent a few minutes confirming?

“I've talked to Dachery. I have been in the same room with him, shared conversations with him. And you are telling me he has the blood of an innocent child on his hands? Why is he still a council member?” My voice rose before I could stop it, tight with disbelief.

Cassiel grimaced as if the question itself scraped against something raw inside him. “It was a mess. Dachery didn't even apologize. And council members told me they found out that alpha Dachery had the girl taxidermied, still in her wolf form and sent to her father. They said he meant well, that he was trying to apologise without admitting fault."

"The alpha confronted Dachery after what happened. The confrontation turned into a fight. It was brutal. Bloody. The other council members had to pull them apart. They urged him to forgive Dachery, to let it go, so that his application could move fo

    I set my phone on the bathroom counter beside Aurielle while one of the councilwomen launched into a rant. The council was in full attendance, and none of them were happy about Dachery’s death.Well, truthfully, they were less upset about him dying and more furious that the janitor had posted about it, robbing them of a chance to spin a cover story. If they had it their way, he would have died, and no one would have known about it for weeks. “How did it come to this? How does someone sneak up on Dachery and kill him? Even if he was old, even if he was asleep, his senses were sharper than any of ours! Something doesn’t add up, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get. How dare this bastard threaten us!”Aurielle raised an eyebrow at me like she expected me to cut through the rant. I just shrugged. Let the woman tire herself out.And she did. Her tirade only ended when another voice cut in.“Please, be quiet. Some of us are trying to think.”“Don’t be rude. We just lost a frien

    For the second night in a row, I didn’t sleep. I patrolled my home, walking through every hall, checking every corner, listening to every voice, and watching my servants with my eyes wide open for the first time. They betrayed me. There’s no one i can trust. Besides the woman whom I want. Nerissa didn’t sleep either. I kept catching her each time she tried to sneak out of the master bedroom to go to the downstairs guest room. She’d stare at me, flinch then go back in before I could ask her anything. This happened seven times over the night. Rhysland slept peacefully. His snore was loud enough to wake the whole house, assuming anyone was able to rest.I checked on him multiple times. He didn’t wake up once in the night, not even to pee. How can he sleep so well in a stranger’s house? I wouldn’t even be able to sleep well in my own office. And I’ve been forced to do so a lot. I sighed for the tenth time tonight. The sun was taking all the goddamn time in the world to come out. And si

    Why doesn’t he just propose to her right here? Seeing him sitting there, so smug, so certain of what they are to each other, makes my blood boil. He might as well drop down on one knee and put a ring on her finger if he’s trying to rub it in my face.I’ve never seen Aurielle’s face turn that shade of red. She drew in a slow, shaky breath, like she was trying to pull herself back into control. “Cassiel, stop.”The man had the nerve—the audacity—to smirk at me over her head. “He can see the hickies,” he said lightly. “I’m pretty sure he knows how close we’ve gotten. Me calling you my woman won't change much.”Aurielle blinked, her eyes widening. “You said there weren’t any.”Cassiel’s laugh rolled through the room like a low, unbothered breeze. “Guilty,” he said without a shred of shame.Her hand twitched, fingers brushing against her neck. “Is that why you wouldn’t let me look at the mirror?”He only nodded, as if it were the most casual thing in the world.I cleared my throat before t

    By the time Cassiel returned, the Crowe family were hunched together in the corner of the sitting room, talking in low, urgent tones. Their voices were hushed, the kind of careful conversation people have when they are trying to stitch something that is still bleeding. They were making up, with the excerption of Maxwell who no one was talking to. He's quite the coward. I know it's bad when I have a stronger back bone that a former pack leader. Cassiel caught my eye as he crossed the room and gave me a small, almost private nod. I returned it and felt the familiar, cold certainty that he had already moved through the house, checking what needed checking. He always did his work quietly and thoroughly.Meriam and Maxwell decided to go home after a few minutes. They had come to soften the blow, to make sure Matthias did not collapse over the news that he had a half sibling. They hugged one last time by the door, then left with Maxwell’s shoulders tight and weary. As the door shut behind

    My mother’s words landed in my chest like a punch. I could feel the blood drain from my face.“Say that again. He can what?” I heard my voice go higher than I wanted.She rolled her eyes, cool and practiced. “If he chooses to, he can try to prove to the pack that you are unfit to rule. It would get messy. I have no stake in this pack. It is not in my bloodline. If the affair had been on my side, none of this would matter.”The simple logic hit me harder than any insult. Because the affair was on my father’s side, Rhysland could, with proof, stake a claim. He could challenge my right to lead. I could almost hear the gears grinding in my head as I tried to put the pieces together. Am I cursed? In the old language, does Mathias perhaps mean 'child who shall never know peace'?Why would Rhysland do this? Why show up after all these years? Why bring this into my life at a moment when everything else was already collapsing? I'm already on the brink of a mental breakdown why would this half

    I guided Meriam carefully back to her seat, keeping a hand on her arm until she was steady. She looked worn down, her strength frayed at the edges, yet she still carried herself with the grace of a former luna. The fact that she had chosen to weep in my arms told me everything about how deeply broken she felt. From what I had overheard before stepping into the dining room, she had been holding her own against Nerissa, arguing with her sharply, but now the walls had finally crumbled. For her to allow herself that vulnerability with me— it meant she trusted me more than she trusted her son and husband.I lowered her gently into her chair and took my place beside her, while Cassiel settled on my other side, his quiet presence grounding me. I glanced at Maxwell across the table. He sat rigid, his hands folded too tightly, his face turned downward. He had always been good to me, kinder than most, though blind—hopelessly blind—when it came to his son’s cruelty. They had both, he and Meria
