The hush that had enveloped the royal medical chamber quaked as though glass as the door smashed open in a deafening thud.

Daisy stood frozen to the ground with the knife in her hands.

The impact shock-jolted the candle fire and sent the very air flying about. The twin Alpha brothers Mark and Lark burst into the room with unbridled fury etched upon their faces.

Lark's eyes flashed to the woman kneeling beside Luna—Daisy's bed. Her arm extended, knife shining in her palm like the fangs of a snake ready to bite. Without a moment's thought, Lark leapt and grasped her wrist, twisting it so sharply that the knife bit into the stone floor, sliding harmlessly out of reach.

Before Daisy could utter a single word, there was a loud slap and Mark's hand snapped into her face. The force was enough to knock her to the ground with her hand locked in a tight circle around her cheek in shock.

"How dare you," Mark snarled, his voice an animal growl of betrayal.

Daisy's eyes pricked with tears, but te

    Cassie's Pov“Did you miss me?” She smiled as she moved further.Death would have been happy to look that good. I kept my face a stone, even though my heart was trying to punch its way out of my chest. Same Alexa, beautiful, terrible."My Luna" Her voice slid across the silent room, filled with sarcasm "How sweet. You gathered everyone for my homecoming."I didn’t budge from the throne. Every instinct I had was shouting, Run, fight, scream, do something! But this was the plan. This was the point of all of it."Alexa. I was wondering when you’d finally come out of the shadows.""Hiding?" That laugh of hers, it always sounded like something precious breaking. "I’ve been busy. Learning, getting strong while you’ve been playing house with this… pack of yours."I felt the fear ripple through the room. The guards raised their weapons, but I saw how their hands shook. "You look tired, Cassie. The crown is not fitting right?""It fits just fine.""Does it? From where I’m standing, it lo

    The air in the Vale archives was thick and still, heavy with the scent of crumbling parchment and cold stone. Daisy pressed herself into the shadows of the wall, the rough-hewn rock biting into her back. She held her breath, counting the slow, fading footsteps of the patrol. One heartbeat. Two. The sound melted into the mountain’s silence. Now. Move. She slipped from her hiding place. Her father’s voice was a ghost in her ear, a lesson from a lifetime ago: “The oldest wards don’t shout, little wolf. They hum. Find the frequency, and you can walk through the noise.” Her fingers, delicate and sure, traced the symbols carved deep into the oak doorframe. To her eyes, the unique vision of a hybrid—the magic wasn’t a solid wall. The air rippled. The ward didn’t shatter; it sighed, parting like a weary curtain. She didn’t hesitate. Her feet carried her to the heart of the chamber, to a circle of stone wolves frozen in eternal snarls. And there, on a pedestal of night-black marbl

    Cassie's PovThe council meeting was a special kind of torture, each minute stretching like frayed elastic. Across the polished table, Mark’s voice was a steady, professional drumbeat, outlining hunting rotations. A perfect Alpha. But the words dissolved into meaningless noise before they reached me.My mind was still back at the bonfire, trapped in the electric space between Lark’s gaze and mine."...which brings us to the healer situation." Mark’s tone shifted, pulling me from the memory.I blinked, forcing myself into the present. Chief Healer Maeven looked exhausted, the lines on her face etched deeper than yesterday. "The infirmary is overwhelmed. We need more hands, especially with the wounded from both packs.""What do you need?" I asked, my voice feeling rusty."That woman from the festival. Ella" The name hit my gut like a physical blow. "She has real skill. I could use her expertise."My jaw tightened. Ella. The woman with the serene smile and Lark’s undivided attention

    Cassie's PovThe lists were trying to kill me. Not with a sword, but with words. Each name was a weight. I felt like I was drowning in paper.Then I heard it.Music. Real music. Not a war drum. A fiddle and laughter.I dropped my pen. It was a stupid list anyway. The dead already knew they were dead. I went to the window.Down in the courtyard, my pack was choosing to live.The firelight painted everything gold. People were dancing. Actually dancing. My shoulder gave a mean throb. The sling was off, but the scar was a nasty reminder. A present from my sister.“You planning to hide up here all night?”Mark. He stood in the doorway with two cups. They smelled like cinnamon and trouble.“I’ve got work,” I said, but it was a lie. My heart was down there with the music.“The work can wait. They need to see your face, Cassie. They need to know you made it.” He shoved a cup into my hand. It was warm. “When’s the last time you had fun?”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t remember.“Come on.” He off

    Cassie's POVMy eyes were feeling heavy as I tried to open them. The sting of medicine in my nose. A deep, grinding throb in my shoulder.Alive. I was alive.The infirmary hummed with low moans and the quick steps of healers. The beds were full. Our guys. Their guys. It doesn't matter much now. There were just a lot of injured people."You're awake." A healer appeared, her face tired. "How's the pain?""Like I lost a fight with a mountain," I croaked."Close. The blade almost hit your heart. But it gave a slight injury, but you'll heal. You got lucky."Lucky. Sure.I tried to push myself up. That was q bad idea. White-hot fire seared through my shoulder."Easy," she warned. "You need to stay down.""How long?""Two days."Two days. I scanned the room again. The bandages. The pale, pained faces. The quiet crying in the corner."How many?" I asked, my voice low.Her face fell. "Thirty-seven of ours. Twenty-one of theirs."Fifty-eight men died because of my sister."And the wounded?"

    CASSIE'S POVThe shadow blade fell like death itself.Time moved slowly. Each second stretched out forever.I watched it come down. Sharp. Cold. I closed my eyes steadily, ready to end it all when boom….Everything blew apart.Silver and gold light slammed into Alexa's barrier. The magic wall shattered. The glasses were breaking. Thunder was cracking. Light was everywhere."NO!" Mark's voice tore through the air."GET AWAY FROM HER!" Lark screamed.The twins' power joined theirs. Young magic, but strong. So damn strong.The blast knocked Alexa sideways. Her blade went wide.Fire ripped across my shoulder. Deep. Burning. But not my heart. Not my heart.I hit the ground hard. Blood everywhere. My blood.But I was alive.The magical backlash was massive. It rolled across the battlefield like a wave. Every spell Alexa had cast started breaking apart.The hypnosis spell cracked first.I heard it. It was like glass shattering inside someone's head.Jamie's body went rigid. His blank
