"I was guarding someone your mother refused to let you meet."

Cael stood beside the study door, watching me.

I was growing tired of the way he said terrible things so calmly.

"Who?"

He looked at the photograph on my phone.

"First, tell me when that was taken."

I turned the screen toward him.

"The date is right there."

"Dates can be altered."

"So can family records. Apparently your father was particularly talented at that."

Rowan made a small sound beside me.

Cael didn't smile.

    "Separate them before the next full moon."I read the instruction again.Then I looked at Rowan."Well, that's unfortunate."He raised an eyebrow."Unfortunate?""I was beginning to enjoy your company."Under different circumstances, he might have smiled.Instead, he took the Council notice from my hand."They're not taking you.""Rowan—""And I'm not surrendering Silverpine."Before I could answer, three sharp knocks sounded at the study door.Adrian entered.His expression told me everything."They're here."I frowned."Already?""Three Council representatives. Twelve armed guards."Rowan folded the notice."Where?""The main hall."Adrian hesitated."They're demanding an immediate audience."I stood."Then we shouldn't keep them waiting."Rowan looked at me."Mira."I met his eyes."I'm not hiding upstairs while strangers decide what happens to my marriage."For a moment, he studied me.Then he nodded."Together."***Councilor Merrick stood beneath the great chandelier.Beside him

    "Lena Voss?"Lena snatched the document from my hand.We had barely returned to Silverpine when I showed her what we'd found beneath the watchtower floor.She read the name.Then looked at me."What is this?""That's what we're trying to find out."Her expression hardened."Somebody's idea of a joke?""I don't think so."She read the page again."The second guardian?"I nodded.Lena laughed.Not because she found it funny."Absolutely not.""Lena—""No. I've heard enough strange things about your family to last me a lifetime. I'm not suddenly joining the collection."Despite everything, I almost smiled."This isn't an accusation.""It certainly feels like one."I took the page back."Do you know anything about the first opening?""No.""Did your father ever mention a guardian?""He barely mentioned his own Council work."Her anger softened into something more uncomfortable."My father kept secrets, Mira. I know that now. But if you're asking whether I secretly knew I was connected to

Apparently your father was particularly talented at that."Rowan made a small sound beside me.Cael didn't smile."After Gideon exiled me, I didn't leave Silverpine immediately."I folded my arms."Where did you go?""Into hiding.""Very specific.""I stayed near Moonfall and continued investigating the Gate."Rowan stepped forward."You let me believe you were dead."Cael's expression tightened."I wasn't allowed near you.""That didn't stop you watching us.""No."The admission hurt Rowan. I saw it.Cael looked back at me."Eventually, I discovered there was another guardian."My wolf stirred."Another Vale?""No."That s

    "She was guarding what came through it."I stared at Cael."My mother?"He nodded.For a moment, I couldn't speak.Elara had told me about the Council, the suppression and the people who wanted my bloodline.She'd told me she had been trying to protect me.But she'd never once mentioned being a guardian."What exactly was she guarding?"Cael looked toward Silas.I caught the movement."No. Don't do that."Both men turned toward me."Don't look at each other and silently decide what I'm allowed to hear."Silas sighed."Mira—""Tell me."For once, he listened."The four families didn't have equal responsibilities."He pointed toward the pillars."The Hales maintained the physical seal. Their bloodline could strengthen the barriers surrounding the Gate."Rowan looked at the Hale symbol."And my father knew?""Yes."Silas moved toward the next pillar."The Voss family protected the surrounding territory. They controlled who could approach Moonfall and maintained the old boundary wards.""

    "Little Moon."The voice came again.Soft.Almost loving.Exactly like my mother's.But my mother was miles away in Hollowmere.And whatever was speaking beneath Silverpine Manor had just called me the girl who came back.Rowan moved toward me.I caught his arm."Wait."Something was moving beneath the floor.I couldn't hear footsteps, but I could feel a strange pressure rising through the stone.My wolf was wide awake.For once, she wasn't hiding.*It's close.*"What is?"No answer.Cael drew his weapon."Everyone away from the passage."Silas shook his head."That won't help."Cael turned sharply."What?""The voice isn't coming from the sealed chamber.""Then where?"Silas looked toward the eastern wall."Below it."A terrible thought occurred to me.The chamber we'd discovered beneath the manor had never contained whatever was calling me.It had been keeping us away from something deeper."The wall was a barrier," I whispered.Silas looked at me."Yes.""Not an entrance.""No."Ro

    "I signed the order that was supposed to keep you alive."For several seconds, I could only stare at Silas.The document lay between us, carrying his signature and the name of a man who'd been dead long before my murder.Gideon Hale."Then explain something to me," I said. "How does an order meant to protect me end with my body lying in the middle of Silverpine Road?"Silas looked toward Rowan.I stepped between them."Don't look at him. I'm asking you."He lowered his gaze."The original operation was meant to remove you from Silverpine."My stomach tightened."Remove me?""Your wolf was beginning to awaken. The suppression had weakened, and certain Council members were becoming suspicious."I remembered my first life.Four years of believing I was powerless.Four years without hearing my wolf."She never awakened.""No," Silas admitted. "But the signs were there.""What signs?""Changes in your blood. Unusual healing. Reactions to objects connected to the Gate."I thought about the
