MasukMaxwell’s POVI met Adams Sinclair in a hidden meeting room at our usual meeting place. We sat across from each other at a small table."You are early, Maxwell.""I could not sleep," I said."I understand," he said. "After a big plan, sleep is hard even when the plan happens far from you."He smiled but I just couldn’t smile back because I was so angry. He poured two glasses of wine and pushed one glass towards me but I did not touch it."So," he said, taking a sip of his own wine. "It is done, Ironmoor was attacked three days ago and the palace was entered. They killed some guards and more importantly, the royal safe was opened and everything inside was gone. All their secrets."I nodded. My throat felt dry. "Yes. My men told me. He said the safe was emptied and all their military records, blueprints and alliance files, everything we wanted was taken."Adams smiled wider this time. He looked truly happy."Good. Very good. This is exactly what we wanted to happen.""Is it?" I said. My
Caspian’s POVThree days after the attack, I called an emergency meeting in the palace war room. All the top officials sat around the long table. I stood at the head and my eyes slowly moved from one person to another.“I hope everyone understands why we’re here.”No one answered. The attack had shaken every pack in the Alliance. A royal wedding had turned into a battlefield and my sister’s husband was still fighting for his life, someone had broken into the most secure place inside the pack house.I looked at my Gamma. “What report do you have for the council?,” I asked.My Gamma stood up. “Alpha, our investigation of the pack house is almost complete.”“Go on.”“We’ve accounted for most of the damage caused during the attack and we found out that the royal archive wasn’t the only place that was targeted.”The room became even quieter. “The royal safe was also broken into during the attack.”Several commanders exchanged shocked looks then one of them leaned forward.“Are you certain?
Seraphina’s POVThree days after the attack, Patrick remained unconscious in the royal healer’s place.He still hadn’t opened his eyes, right now the entire palace felt different.Even the servants walked quietly through the halls as though they were afraid any loud sound might wake the sorrow hanging over Ironmoor.I stood outside the royal healer’s wing for a moment before taking a deep breath.One of the palace maids approached me carrying a tray.“Luna.” She bowed respectfully. I looked down at the bowl of hot soup she was carrying.“Has Lady Emelda eaten anything yet?”The maid lowered her eyes. “No Luna. Not since yesterday morning.”“And before that?”The maid hesitated. “Only a few bites.”My chest tightened. “What about rest? Has she even rested since I left?”“She refuses to leave Beta Patrick’s bedside.”“And bathing?” The maid shook her head. “No, Alpha, every time we ask, she tells us to leave.”I looked at the tray again. “I’ll take it.”The maid handed it to me. “Thank
Caspian’s POV“Protect the guests!” My voice thundered across the palace grounds.The explosion had thrown the entire wedding into chaos.Smoke covered half the courtyard while guests were screaming and children were crying.Broken chairs and shattered glass covered the ground.Then I saw the Rogue wolves coming from every direction. Some rushed through the main entrance and others appeared from the palace gardens.This wasn’t a random attack because they knew exactly where to strike.I drew my sword.“Ironmoor warriors!” Every guard turned towards me.“Come with me!”A roar answered my command and my warriors charged forward without hesitation. Steel clashing against steel as growls echoed through the palace.The peaceful wedding immediately became a battlefield.One rogue rushed straight at me.

Seraphina’s POVGuests jumped to their feet while some hid behind tables.Others grabbed their children and ran without looking back. Broken glass rained onto the marble floor.Smoke rolled across the palace gardens, swallowing part of the ceremony.“What was that?” someone shouted.“We’re under attack!” The words spread through the crowd like wildfire Panic exploded.“Protect the guests!”“Move!”“Everyone, get down!”The royal guards rushed forward with their weapons drawn. Warriors shifted into their wolf forms as they charged towards the smoke.The peaceful wedding disappeared in the blink of an eye.“Caspian!” I shouted. My eyes searched desperately through the chaos.I caught a glimpse of him barking orders to the guards.“Seal the gates!”“Nobody leaves the palace!”“Protect the guests!”His voice echoed over the panic.The guards reacted instantly.Then before anyone could react, rogue wolves poured into the ceremony from multiple directions. Their howls cut through the air. G
Seraphina’s POVA gentle knock echoed through my bedroom the next morning.“Alpha?”I looked up from the earrings I was trying to wear. “Come in.”A young maid stepped inside with a bright smile. “Lady Emelda is asking for you.”I smiled immediately. “Is she ready?”The maid laughed softly. “Not yet Alpha”I smiled. “Okay, I’ll be there in a minute.”The maid bowed before leaving.I took one last look at myself in the mirror, smoothed the front of my dress and headed towards the bridal suite.The palace was already buzzing with excitement. Servants hurried through the corridors carrying flower arrangements while musicians tuned their instruments in the distance.Guests filled the grand hallways, laughing and chatting as they waited for the ceremony to begin.Today wasn’t just any royal event, Today, Emelda was getting married.When I reached the bridal suite, I knocked gently.“It’s me.”The door flew open almost immediately. “Finally!” Emelda pulled me inside before I could even say
