The drugs burned through our body like liquid fire, trapping me beneath layers of consciousness I couldn’t penetrate. I pushed against the barrier between us, my copper fur standing on end with frustration as Amelia remained beyond my reach. Something was happening to her—something terrible—and I couldn’t get to her through the chemical haze that separated us.

‘AMELIA!’ I howled, the sound echoing through the empty space of our shared mind. ‘FIGHT!’

But she couldn’t hear me. The

    The drugs held me beneath the surface, a current I couldn’t fight no matter how hard I kicked. Sera’s poison lingered in my veins like winter frost, numbing everything from the inside out. I could feel Lukas’s hand on mine – warm, solid, real – but reaching him meant swimming through layers of something thick and cold that pressed against my consciousness from all sides. My body existed somewhere distant, separate from the part of me that was still trying to surface. Voices drifted through the haze, none of them clear enough to catch. The steady beeping of machines, the rustle of fabric, a low murmur that might have been Lukas speaking. I tried to focus on his voice, to use it as an anchor, but the drugs kept pulling me under. Sera’s presence had left stains on my mind, cold fingerprints I couldn’t scrub away no matter how hard I tried. In the deepest part of my consciousness, where the human mind met wolf instinct, Athena paced. Her copper form was dim

    The following day, I kept vigil at Amelia’s bedside, my hand wrapped carefully around hers as she slept. Her breathing had steadied, the awful rattling quality gone from each inhalation, but she still hadn’t woken. Her skin had lost that terrifying, deathly pallor, the natural warmth of her body returning as the worst of the Voice’s poison worked its way through her system. But her eyes remained closed, her copper hair spread across the pillow in tangled strands, and my heart remained lodged firmly in my throat.Elara had been in and out all morning, checking vitals, adjusting medications, her expression carefully neutral though I caught the concern in her eyes. The Elders from the southern packs had come too, three of them with silver-streaked hair and eyes that held centuries of knowledge. They’d conferred with Elara in hushed tones, examined Amelia with careful hands, then left with quiet promises to return later. Whatever they’d seen, whateve

I pushed against the barrier between us, my copper fur standing on end with frustration as Amelia remained beyond my reach. Something was happening to her—something terrible—and I couldn’t get to her through the chemical haze that separated us.‘AMELIA!’ I howled, the sound echoing through the empty space of our shared mind. ‘FIGHT!’But she couldn’t hear me. The door between us remained firmly shut, slammed by whatever poison the Voice had forced into our system. I paced the confines of my prison, a sleek copper wolf with emerald eyes that matched my human’s, my powerful body trembling with rage and helplessness.Through the thin membrane separating us, I could see fragments of what was happening to Amelia. She was dreaming—no, not dreaming, trapped in some vision the Voice had created. She ran through a twisted forest, trees reaching for

    Eighteen hours after we’d found her, Amelia moved. It started small—just a twitch of her index finger, barely noticeable beneath the sheet—but it was enough to jerk me from the half-doze I’d fallen into. I leaned forward, my heart hammering against my ribs, hope surging through my chest for the first time since we’d brought her back to the palace. “Amelia?” I called, my voice rough with exhaustion. “Amelia, can you hear me?”She didn’t respond, didn’t even seem to hear me. But her hand moved again, fingers curling slowly into a fist, then relaxing, then clenching again with enough force to make the tendons stand out beneath her skin. Her breathing changed, shallow pants giving way to something deeper, more deliberate. The monitors beside her bed began to beep more rapidly, her heart rate climbing from the steady sixty I’d been watching for hours to seventy, then eighty, then ninety beats per minute.

    I walked through a forest that wasn’t a forest, the trees bending toward me like they were alive, like they knew me. Their branches reached out with gentle curiosity, leaves brushing against my arms with feather-soft touches. At first, it felt comforting—nature welcoming me home—but something was wrong. I blinked, and the world shifted.The leaves touching my skin weren’t leaves at all but fingers—thousands of them, sprouting from the branches, reaching with desperate hunger. I jerked away, stumbling backward into the trunk of another tree. This one, too, reached for me, bark cracking open to reveal rows of tiny, needle-like teeth. I screamed, but no sound emerged from my throat.Everything around me was changing, corrupting. Flowers dripped what looked like blood onto the grass below. The ground beneath my feet softened, then liquified, each step sinking me deeper into what felt like quicksand. Leaves dissolved into sand, then ash, then nothing at all. Trees writhed like wounded anim

    The walk to our bedroom felt endless, each step carrying me further from Amelia, from the one place I needed to be. The palace corridors were nearly empty, most of the staff having been sent to quarters after the Voice’s attack. The few guards I passed snapped to attention, their expressions carefully neutral though I caught the concern in their eyes. News traveled fast in the palace; everyone would know by now what had happened to their queen.Our bedroom was exactly as we’d left it three days ago, the bed still rumpled from our desperate claiming, clothes scattered across the floor where we’d torn them off each other. I moved through the room on autopilot, stripping off my blood-stained shirt, stepping out of my torn trousers. The bathroom mirror showed a stranger’s face, eyes bloodshot, stubble darkening my jaw, a thin cut across my cheekbone from some branch or rock I’d run into during the search.I turned the shower to scalding, stepping under the spray before the water had fully

    I pushed another scroll across my desk, watching it join the growing pile of rejected "suggestions" from the council. Twenty-four hours. Just twenty-four hours until Amelia would officially become Alpha Queen before all our subjects, and still the elders persisted with their desperate attempts to

    I watched their faces as they entered the suite, cataloging every micro-expression – the widened eyes, the held breath, the fingers that twitched as if checking whether this luxury might burn them. Lily stood beside me at the doorway, her presence a grounding force as we ushered our sisters-in-su

    I stared at the list spread before me, sixteen names representing sixteen lives upended by Silver Lake's cruelty. Sixteen refugees who needed homes, purpose, protection. My pen tapped against the polished surface of my desk as I considered each name, each hastily noted skill, each medical observa

    The middle prisoner – Garrett – finally looked up, his eyes meeting mine with a flash of desperate recognition. "You were nothing," he hissed, low enough that only those closest could hear. "A servant. A failure. You can't—“"I can," I cut him off, my voice like ice. "And I will."
