ZORYA

The air between Kaelen and me felt charged long after Finn pulled me away.

Even once the gala noise swallowed us again, even once I was safely surrounded by light and laughter and the subtle press of power, I couldn’t shake the echo of his words—or the way my wolf had reacted, not with curiosity, but with a sharp, instinctive recoil.

Later, when the evening finally fractured into goodbyes and false smiles, Kaelen found me one last time.

Not cornering me.

Not touching me.

Just standing beside the tall windows overlooking Lunaris, moonlight painting his profile in silver.

“You handled yourself well tonight,” he said mildly. “You listened more than you spoke. The Council noticed.”

“I didn’t come here for praise,” I replied.

“No,” he agreed. “You came because you feel it. The pressure. The way the world leans toward you.”

My jaw tightened. “You’ve been saying things like that since the beginning.”

“Because they’re true.”

I turned to face him. “Then say what you mean.”

    ZORYAThe summons arrived at dawn, stamped in silver ink that shimmered like a warning more than an honor. Council Convocation: Mandatory Attendance. My name sat alone beneath the seal, bolded, impossible to miss. I read it twice while the city outside my window woke to bells and the low thrum of wards powering up. Lunaris always sounded different on days like this—tighter, like it was holding its breath.By the time we reached the Council Hall, the air felt charged, thick with authority and expectation. The building rose from the marble plaza like a crown turned upside down, all black stone and lunar glass, veins of moonlight running through it. Every step echoed too loudly. Every gaze lingered too long.They were all there—senior faculty in formal robes, Councilors ringed with sigils, rival Alphas cloaked in restrained power. And then there was Kaelen.He stood at the center dais as if he belonged there, composed and elegant, hands folded behind his back. When his eyes found me, som

    ZORYAI didn’t sleep.Not really.I drifted in and out of shallow half-dreams where shadow-wolves crawled along my spine and Kaelen’s voice echoed through my skull like a lesson I hadn’t finished learning. Every time my wolf stirred, the bond answered—four distinct presences anchoring me back into my body before panic could take root.Ares was pacing. He didn’t even try to hide it. His boots traced the same angry path across the far side of the room, turn after turn, like a caged storm looking for a sky to break.Finn lay sprawled near my feet, pretending to sleep but watching me through half-lowered lashes. Gunner leaned against the window, arms crossed, jaw locked. Kai sat closest, cross-legged on the floor, hands resting on his knees, eyes closed as he monitored the wards like a living conduit.I hated that my near-capture had turned them into this—coiled, restless, sharp-edged.“I’m not broken,” I said quietly.Ares stopped mid-step. The others all looked at me at once.“I know,”

    ZORYAThe city turned against me without warning.One moment I was crossing the lower concourse of Lunaris—stone bridges, glowing sigils embedded in the streets, the comforting thrum of wards beneath my feet—and the next, the air shifted. The sound vanished first. Then the light bent, shadows stretching unnaturally long.My wolf snapped to attention.Trap.I barely had time to pivot before the ground erupted.Shadow wolves poured from the cracks between stones—wrong things, half-formed, their bodies made of smoke and hunger, eyes burning with borrowed Alpha magic. Chains followed, forged of enchanted silver-black metal, snapping around my wrists and ankles before I could fully summon my power.I cried out as the restraints locked, draining warmth, tugging at the bond like hooked claws.“No—!”The bond flared in response.Pain lanced through my chest as something pulled—not ripping, but siphoning. Drawing power outward through me like I was a conduit instead of a person.Kaelen.I felt

    ZORYAI didn’t sleep.None of us did.By unspoken agreement, we gathered in Kai’s secure planning suite just before dawn—steel, glass, wards humming softly beneath the floor. It was the one place in Lunaris where strategy felt heavier than instinct. Where thinking could, at least briefly, outrun blood.I stood at the center of the room, arms folded, trying to steady the restless energy coiling in my chest.“We stop reacting,” I said. “That’s the first rule.”Ares leaned against the wall, arms crossed, jaw set like stone. “You don’t react when someone circles you like prey.”“I do when I refuse to be bait,” I shot back.Finn, sprawled across a chair like he didn’t feel the tension clawing at the air, lifted a brow. “She’s right. Kaelen wants us snarling at shadows while he moves the board.”Gunner paced, boots heavy against the floor. “I’d rather tear his throat out.”Kai’s voice cut through us all—calm, precise. “And that is exactly why you won’t.”Silence fell.Kai activated the proj

    ZORYAThe invitation arrived sealed in silver wax, my name etched in elegant script that shimmered faintly when I tilted it toward the light.Zorya Veylor.You are cordially invited to the Lunar Council Gala.Attendance requested. Confidential seating arranged.My stomach tightened.The Lunar Council Gala wasn’t just another university event. It was power on display—senior faculty, council members, visiting Alphas, political wolves whose decisions shaped Lunaris from behind marble walls and gilded smiles.And it was exclusive.Too exclusive.Kaelen stood across my desk when I finished reading, hands folded behind his back, posture relaxed in a way that set my instincts on edge.“You earned this,” he said smoothly. “Very few students are ever invited, much less personally requested.”“I noticed,” I replied carefully. “You didn’t mention my mates.”His lips curved, slow and deliberate. “The council requested your presence as an individual, Zorya. Not as an extension of four Alphas.”The
