Lila’s POV

The last thing I remembered clearly was the blood.

It was everywhere.

On the floor beneath my mother. On the front of her blouse. On the hand that had once held mine whenever I was frightened as a child.

After that, everything became a blur.

I remembered Elias calling for help. The sound of hurried footsteps, the arrival of guards, and someone kneeling beside my mother to check whether she was still breathing.

I remembered being asked something, though I couldn't recall what. I remem

    Lila’s POVThe last thing I remembered clearly was the blood.It was everywhere.On the floor beneath my mother. On the front of her blouse. On the hand that had once held mine whenever I was frightened as a child.After that, everything became a blur.I remembered Elias calling for help. The sound of hurried footsteps, the arrival of guards, and someone kneeling beside my mother to check whether she was still breathing.I remembered being asked something, though I couldn't recall what. I remembered Elias answering for me when I couldn't seem to make my mouth work.And I remembered him lifting me away when the healers arrived.I hadn't wanted to leave her.I didn't know if I had said it aloud or merely thought it, but I remembered fighting against the hands guiding me away from her.I remembered the desperate need to stay beside her, as though my presence alone could keep her from slipping away.Someone told us she was alive.Barely.That was the word that had followed me all the way

    Lila’s POVWe were nearing my house when I noticed the gate.It was open.Not slightly ajar, as it sometimes was when my mother had gone into the garden to water the plants. It stood wide open, one side pushed inward as though someone had forced their way through without bothering to close it afterward.My steps slowed.Something about the sight unsettled me.My mother was careful about the gate. She always made certain it was shut, especially when I wasn't home. After Victor's recent visit and the threats he had made about the house, she had become even more particular about securing the property.She would never leave it like this. Not without a reason.“Lila?”Elias was still speaking, but his voice seemed to come from somewhere far away.I stared at the open gate.The garden beyond it looked undisturbed at first glance. The familiar shrubs stood along the stone path, and the curtains inside the house were drawn. Nothing appeared broken from where I stood.Yet the unease in my stom

    Lila’s POVI was beginning to suspect that spending time with Elias was becoming a habit.A dangerous one, certainly. An inconvenient one, without question. But a habit nonetheless.We had barely left the restaurant when he began telling me about the rest of his day, as though we had been doing this for years instead of stumbling into an uncertain arrangement neither of us had bothered to define.“I have a meeting with my father and the council before noon,” he said, walking beside me with his hands tucked into the pockets of his coat. “Then, I have to review the reports from the western territories. There are complaints about trade routes, a dispute between two pack leaders, and a rather lengthy document concerning the reconstruction of the northern watchtower.”I glanced at him. “That sounds terrible.”“It is.”“You're the Crown Prince. Surely you're used to it.”“Being used to something doesn't make it less terrible.”I laughed under my breath. He looked at me with an expression of

    Lila’s POVFor a few minutes, we ate in relative peace.Or at least, we would have, if Nate and Drake had possessed even a fraction of the ability to remain silent."So," Nate began, leaning back in his chair, "what have you been doing lately, Lila?""Working on a few things.""What sort of things?""Personal matters.""Very mysterious.""Very private," Broody corrected."Thank you, Broody.""Don't thank him," Drake said. "He enjoys being right.""I enjoy silence," Broody replied. "Yet here you are."Nate waved a hand. "Ignore him. He was born grumpy.""And you were born without a sense of self-preservation.""That's what makes life exciting."I shook my head, smiling despite myself. Then, Drake glanced at me."You're awfully quiet." He observed.I opened my mouth to answer, but Elias spoke first."She didn't sleep well."My head snapped toward him.Excuse me?Nate's eyes widened with immediate interest while Drake's eyebrows rose. Even Broody looked up from his plate.I could feel my

    Lila’s POVElias’ voice was calm. Too calm.Nate leaned back in his chair, looking as pleased as a child who had successfully set a trap."Having a lovely conversation with Lila."Drake nodded solemnly. "She's much more pleasant company than you."Broody glanced at Elias. "That's a low standard."I pressed my lips together to keep from smiling. Elias looked at each of them in turn, his expression growing increasingly unimpressed."I leave for five minutes and you already attracted bees–”"Seven," Nate corrected."Six," Drake said.Broody shrugged. "Long enough for Nate to embarrass himself.""See?" Nate exclaimed. "This is exactly why we need to spend more time together. We make a wonderful team."Elias ignored him. His gaze settled on me, and I recognized the look in his eyes immediately.He was trying to decide whether to blame me for the fact that his friends had found their way to our table.I lifted my eyebrows.Don't even think about it.He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he h

    Lila’s POVThe restaurant Elias chose was one I had visited several times with my mother.It was a well-established place near the eastern market, known for its warm bread, honey cakes, and breakfast dishes prepared with herbs from the surrounding farms.The front windows overlooked the busy street, while the dining room was filled with polished wooden tables, potted greenery, and the pleasant smell of freshly brewed tea.It was already busy when we arrived.The moment we stepped inside, however, several conversations faltered.I felt the change almost immediately.A woman near the entrance paused with her cup halfway to her mouth. Two men seated by the window exchanged a look. Someone at the counter whispered to the person beside him, and the news seemed to travel through the room faster than the scent of fresh bread.Of course. The girl who rejected her mate and the said mate had just walked into the restaurant together.I could practically imagine the stories forming in people's mi
