I found Kael exactly where I’d left him, still in our room, staring out the window at the sunrise.

“Hey,” I said from the doorway.

He turned. “Hey.”

“Can we talk?”

“Always.”

I stepped inside, closed the door, and sat on the edge of the bed.

“I’m not good at this,” I started. “Talking about feelings. Leighton beat that out of me pretty thoroughly.”

“Take your time.”

“The mark. The seal. All of it.” I stared at my hands. “I’m angry you didn’t tell me sooner. It feels like you took a choice away from me.”

“I know. I’m sorry.”

“But…” I looked up at him. “I get why you didn’t. How do you even start that conversation? ‘Hey, by the way, you’ve been marked as my destined queen since you were born’? There’s no good moment for that.”

“Should’ve tried anyway.”

“Yeah. You should have.” I stood and walked over to him by the window. “But I also know you were trying to protect me—give me time to heal before piling on more.”

“Don’t make excuses for me.”

“I’m not excusing it. I’m explaining it.” I too

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 57 The Ancient King

    Later, in a quiet corner of the yard, Erica showed up with her sketchbook and zero chill.“Mom said you’re good with patterns,” she told Lena, plopping down and already drawing.Lena lifted an eyebrow at me.“Hunter thing,” I said. “Same idea as reading runic flows.”Erica didn’t look up, just kept sketching a protection rune—lines perfect, steady. The thing glowed soft silver, brighter than anything I could manage.Liana leaned in. “Kid’s got skills.”“Better than mine,” I admitted, pride leaking out anyway. “She sees the currents. Lines them up with the ley lines nobody else can spot.”“For real?” Liana’s voice actually went up.Erica shrugged like it was no big deal. “They’re just there. Like glowing rivers under the ground.”Liana whistled low. “I’ve only met two people who could do that. Both old as dirt.”Erica beamed.We spent the next couple of hours working—me showing them basic silver wards, how intent shapes power, how belief can make a rune sing or fizzle.Liana picked it

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 56 New Bruises

    Liana hit me with it straight out, no warm-up. “Your boy’s scent,” she said, eyes locked on Kael, “It’s ancient. Like standing in the ruins of the Old Throne, ancient.”Kael didn’t flinch, but I felt the ripple through our bond—caution, mixed with that tired acceptance he carried whenever someone got too close to the truth.I stepped between them quickly.“Liana, can we save the third degree for later? Your crew needs beds, and we’ve got a war to prep for.”She let go of his hand but didn’t break eye contact.“Fine. Old habits. Hunter reflexes don’t just vanish.”“You were a hunter?” Kai asked, voice flat, careful.“Was,” she said, finally turning to me.“Before I became Silverpeak’s war chief. We need to talk. Alone.”“Tonight,” I promised.“Deal.”Later, as her warriors headed off to crash, Liana fell in beside me, voice low.“He’s not some random rogue, Leah.”“I know.”“Do you?” She glanced around, then leaned closer.“That power coming off him—I only felt it once. In the Old Thro

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 55 Question for trust

    “Hunter training. I’m sensitive to ancient magic.” Her eyes searched mine. “Who is he, really?”“I’ll tell you everything. Tonight. I promise.”She studied my face, looking for lies, for danger.Finally, she nodded. “You trust him?”“With my life.”“Good enough for now.” She squeezed my hand. “But I have questions. A lot of questions.”“Don’t we all.”By afternoon, Liana wanted to see what we were working with.Her words: “Need to know what I’ve got.”Which meant sparring.Marcus, Kael, and I against Liana and five of her best. Non-lethal, but real enough.Word spread fast. Soon, half the pack was watching. Morale had been low—scouts circling, the full moon closing in. People needed to see their leaders ready.The fight started quickly.Liana moved like lightning. One second still, the next she’d swept Marcus’s legs. He hit the ground hard.“That,” he called from his back, “was humbling.”She offered a hand up. “Stance too wide. Leaves you open low.”“Noted,” he groaned.Her warriors

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 54 Old Friends, New Doubts

    The morning sun was still low when the welcome horns sounded across the valley.I was in the training yard, running sword forms with Marcus, when the deep notes rolled out. We both froze mid-swing.“Reinforcements,” Marcus said, already heading for the gates.I followed, hope flaring in my chest for the first time in days. After Kael’s injury, my loss of control, the endless scout reports—we needed this.At the gates, Garrett was directing the welcome. Pack members crowded around, faces bright with cautious excitement.Through the opening came a column of warriors in blue and silver—Moonstone Pack colors. Fifty strong, mounted, armored, and ready. Real help.And leading them—“Liana?”She dismounted in one smooth motion, the same graceful flow she’d had since we were kids.Tall, athletic, long dark hair in a tight warrior’s braid. A fresh scar cut across her left eyebrow, making her look even fiercer.She spotted me. Her grin broke wide.“Little Lia!”We crashed into a hug that erased

  • Returning in Reverse After Betrayal   Chapter 52 Suppose to be a Queen?

    "Suspected. Little things didn't add up. The way he moved. The way he fought. Two hundred years of experience show." Marcus met my eyes."But whether he's king or commoner doesn't change what matters.""Which is?""Does he love you? Does he treat you well? Does he make you happy?""Yes to all three.""Then the rest is just titles and politics." He went back to his weapon inspection."Though I'll admit, 'Queen Sophia' has a nice ring to it."Despite everything, I smiled."Don't start.""Too late. Already planning the coronation feast.""Marcus.""I'm thinking ice sculptures. Very on-brand with your Tear powers.""I'm going to hurt you.""You love me too much."He was right.I did.I found Liana on the training grounds, running her Moonstone warriors through morning drills."Left flank, tighten up!" she called. "You're leaving gaps big enough for my grandmother to walk through!"The warriors adjusted their formation.Liana spotted me and jogged over. "Hey. Heard your mark activated.""N
