Astrid’s POV

By nightfall, I stopped reacting but the pain didn’t disappear. It is now sharp at the edges and constant somewhere at the center. Like something quietly eating through me while I moved around pretending everything was fine.

The packhouse was quieter at this hour. Most of the warriors were out or asleep and Anthony… Well, Anthony had his own distractions.

I didn’t need to check to know where he was. My fingers moved steadily across the desk as I sorted through documents I wasn’t su

    Davian’s POV“Three contracts. All signed by Anthony Riftclaw.” Ian spread the documents across the table in my temporary quarters. “Two with known dark magic practitioners. The third with a witch who specializes in blood bonds.”I studied the signatures and the dates. They were fifteen years ago, right around the time the Silvermist Pack fell.“And the payments?”“Traced through four different accounts but they all lead back to Riftclaw finances.” Daniel pulled up records on his tablet. “He was thorough. Almost thorough enough.”“The Luna doesn’t know.” Serra said quietly from her position by the window. “About her parents or what he did.”“She knows the bond is fake.” I kept my voice flat. “She’ll figure out the rest soon enough.”“Will she live long enough?” Serra’s gaze was pointed. “The mark’s degradation is accelerating. I saw her this yesterday during the tour. Those black veins—”“I’m aware.”More than aware since I’d spent the entire tour watching those veins spread across he

    Astrid’s POVI found him in the east wing near the guest quarters standing by a window overlooking the territory. His back was to me but I knew he’d heard me coming. Wolves like him heard everything before they even happened. “Your Majesty.” I kept my voice formal and as professional as possible. “I’m ready for the tour whenever you are.”He turned and those brown eyes swept over me once, analyzing something I couldn’t name before his expression went carefully blank.“Lead the way, Luna.”We walked in silence through the packhouse and out into the cool evening air. I showed him the training grounds first then the armory and the storage facilities. All the places Anthony would want him to see. All the impressive parts that made Riftclaw look strong and organized and things I’d helped build.“You run a tight operation.” Davian said finally as we crossed toward the northern border markers.“Anthony leads well.” The lie tasted like ash.“Does he.”It was not even a question. More like an

    Astrid’s POVSomehow Anthony managed to postpone the tour of the pack till after dinner. Davian didn’t want to appear suspicious so he let it slide knowing Anthony might be trying to hide some stuff. Anthony doesn’t know that if Davian was here earlier than he planned, then he had enough evidence to bring him down and whatever he tries to hide won’t work. Well, I’m just a tour guide so I gave them a smile and went to oversee the food. Dinner felt different tonight even though our guests turned down the offer of having it with us so Anthony invited Mira AGAIN to the table. He claimed that Calix wanted to dine with his favorite nanny. The dinner felt wrong in a way I couldn’t name, like something in the room had shifted half an inch and nothing quite aligned anymore. I sat in my usual seat, my posture straight and hands steady around my glass. Even with the two people in front of me that want to end my life, something else pressed at the edges of my mind. A presence that didn’t bel

    Astrid’s POVI met Vincent days later at the same clearing but I told Anthony I was checking the western borders this time. He barely looked up from his breakfast with Calix who has been acting all weird since Mira decided to stay with us.Vincent was waiting when I arrived, pacing like he’d been there a while.“I have a plan.” I didn’t bother with greetings. “To take Anthony down from the inside. Gather evidence, expose him piece by piece until—”“You don’t have time for that.” Vincent’s voice was tight as he pulled out a document with the Council seal. “Skylar filed her petition. The hearing is in two weeks.”Two weeks and my stomach dropped. Will I even live long enough to take over MY right? To become the Alpha I knew I was always meant to be?“I have bloodline proof.” He kept talking faster now. “Genetic testing, your father’s seal. It responds to your blood, no one else’s. But there’s a problem.”“What problem?”“You can’t claim Silvermist while wearing Anthony’s mark.” He gestu

Like something quietly eating through me while I moved around pretending everything was fine.The packhouse was quieter at this hour. Most of the warriors were out or asleep and Anthony… Well, Anthony had his own distractions.I didn’t need to check to know where he was. My fingers moved steadily across the desk as I sorted through documents I wasn’t supposed to have access to anymore.He made sure I wasn’t anywhere around alliance agreements, trade routes and border negotiations. Everything I built for him! But also everything he was about to lose.A small smile touched my lips as I picked up the first file. He won’t know what is going to hit him until it does. Just like he went behind my back and ordered for me to get hit without my knowledge. The first move had to be quiet enough that no one would trace it back to me. Deadly enough that it

    Astrid’s POVPain woke me from my nap. It was not the dull kind that I have been ignoring or the ache from training that makes your muscles weak. This was sharp and burning like my blood was on fire. My hand flew to my neck before I was even fully awake. It was the mark! It felt all shades of wrong like something was moving beneath my skin. It feels like the mark doesn’t want to just sit there pretending to belong to me when it didn't. It was never meant to be. A broken breath left my lips as I pushed myself upright. The room tilted for a second before settling and I swallowed hard, forcing myself to focus. It has to be nothing.But my fingers were already pressing harder against it as though I could feel through skin and magic and lies all at once. It burned more so I jerked my hand away fast.Something is wrong and I need to find out what it is. I swung my legs off the bed too fast. The floor felt colder than usual beneath my feet as I made my way to the mirror, my steps slight
