Property of the King’s Return to the Packhouse
The morning of our departure arrived with a cool, quiet fog that hung low over the grass. I packed our few belongings into small bundles, making sure Silas had his warm coat buttoned up to his chin. He looked so much better than he had a week ago—his color was back, his dark eyes were bright, and he moved with steady, easy strength.Leonidas walked us to the edge of the Lycan territory, where the dirt path met the neutral stream. Two of his guards followed at a respectful distance, carrying our bags. Aura walked silently beside me, her eyes darting nervously to the trees every few seconds, her fingers tightly clutching her blanket roll.At the riverbank, Leonidas stopped and turned to look at me. The claw mark on my neck hummed with a gentle, reassuring warmth as his tall frame blocked the chilly morning wind."You don't have to do this if you feel uneasy, Nova," he said softly, his green eyes searching my face with quiet concern. "My doors stay open for you and your brother. If anyth

The morning sun had barely cleared the mountain ridge when a horn echoed across the neutral border stream. It wasn't the sharp, frantic blast of a coven raid, but the measured, two-tone call reserved for official meetings between leaders.Leonidas stood near the edge of the camp clearing, his broad shoulders squared as he buckled a simple leather belt around his waist. I walked up to him from the cabin, my boots sinking quietly into the soft pine needles. Silas was resting inside under Javier’s supervision, and Aura was quietly folding blankets on the porch, her jumpy dark eyes following my every move."He came back earlier than expected," Leonidas said softly as I stopped beside him. He looked down at me, his wild green eyes calm and steady. "Caleb crossed the river an hour ago with a formal request. Riccardo wants a sit-down on neutral ground.""Is it about the coven?" I asked, adjusting the dark cloak around my shoulders."Partly," Leonidas replied, stepping onto the dirt path that

The cool mountain breeze carried the clean scent of pine needles as Leonidas and I walked up the winding dirt path behind the Lycan Citadel. The sun had set an hour ago, leaving the sky painted in dark purple and deep grey. Below us, the lights of the citadel twinkled like tiny stars scattered across the valley.Silas was sleeping soundly back at the cabin, and Aura had gone to rest early. Leonidas had come by after his evening rounds, asking if I wanted to get some fresh air away from the crowded camp. I had agreed without hesitation.We stopped near the edge of a high cliff that looked out over the whole valley. A flat wooden bench sat under a large oak tree, looking out at the wide expanse of mountains in the distance."I come up here when the noise downstairs gets too loud," Leonidas said, his deep voice low and calm in the quiet night air. He pulled a thick wool blanket from his shoulder and laid it out on the wooden bench before looking at me. "Sit down, Nova. The wind gets cold

My wolf was pacing a raw path inside my skull, clawing at my chest until every breath felt like drinking hot needles. I walked the outer boundary line of the pack territory for the third time since midnight, my steps heavy against the damp earth. The cold wind blowing from the north carried the scent of wet pine and distant rain, but none of it cooled the burning empty space in my blood.Nova was miles away, sleeping in the Lycan camp.Every second she spent near Leonidas Vash felt like an open wound across my throat. The mate mark on my skin throbbed with a constant, dull ache that wouldn't let me sleep, eat, or rest. The kitchen staff had left meals on my desk for two days straight, untouched, until the meat went cold and grey. I couldn't stomach food when my beast was screaming that my female was in enemy territory.A figure stepped out from the shadows near the guard post."Alpha," Caleb called out softly, stepping into the dim light of the torch mounted on the post. His brown eye
Property of the King’s A Divided Loyalty
By the time the guards finished fixing the broken fence at the northern line, dusk had settled over the Lycan camp. The air turned crisp and quiet, carrying the faint scent of wood smoke from the small cabins scattered through the trees.I walked back to our cabin with slow, steady steps. My hands were warm now, the frost completely gone, but the image of those dark beasts kept playing over in my head. They were getting bolder, pushing right up to where people lived.When I pushed the front door open, the room was soft and quiet. Silas was sitting at the wooden table, carefully carving a small piece of pine with his pocket knife. Aura sat across from him, sipping warm water from a clay cup. She looked much better than she had last night—the dirt was washed from her face and her blonde hair was pulled back, but her dark eyes were still jumpy, darting to the door every time the wind rustled outside."How are things out there?" Silas asked, setting his knife down on the table as I steppe

Aura slept for almost the entire next morning, her body completely worn out from running through the woods. Silas stayed inside the cabin with her, making sure she had water while he quietly rested his own chest. I sat near the front porch steps, watching the grey clouds roll over the treetops, my mind heavy with everything Maria had shown me in the mirror.Around noon, a sharp horn blew from the edge of the camp.It was a short, harsh blast that cut straight through the calm afternoon. The quiet rhythm of the camp shattered instantly. Lycan warriors dropped what they were doing and sprinted toward the northern treeline, drawing long blades from their belts.My heart started beating faster. I stood up from the wooden step, my eyes fixed on the forest path where the guards were running."Nova! Stay inside!" Silas called out from the cabin door, his face pale with concern."Keep the door locked, Silas!" I shouted back, already taking a step toward the commotion. "Stay with Aura!"I didn
