A KING UNYIELDING

Cassius’s POV

The war chamber loomed ahead like a trial by fire.

Stone walls stretched high, blackened from the smoke of past torches. Pillars carved with the snarling faces of ancient beasts lined the aisle. The atmosphere seemed to hum with history—of blood-soaked oaths, forgotten betrayals, and the ancient feel of tradition.

I walked through the aisle like I belonged here.

Because I did.

Magnus matched my pace, slightly behind, his injured arm tucked beneath his cloak. His jaw was set, his silence steady. Whatever pain he felt, he buried it like a soldier should.

As the chamber doors shut behind us, their echo thundered through the hall like the start of judgment.

Nine council members sat behind the curved stone table, in the middle of the room. Each draped in the gold robes of tradition. Some looked up with thinly veiled scorn. Others, with tired politeness. Only two of them—Lord Marcellus and Elder Rivas—met my eyes with something close to neutrality.

    A SURPRISING ENCOUNTER Cassius’s POV“You’re not going to like what I’m about to tell you,” Magnus said, stepping in with his arm bound tight beneath blood-specked linen.I sat on the edge of the bed, the weight of too many sleepless nights settled in my bones. “I haven’t liked anything in weeks. So, go on.” I muttered, pulling a shirt down over my aching ribs. The fabric scraped against half-healed skin. I welcomed the sting. Pain was real. Simple.Unlike everything else.Magnus didn't sit. He stayed by the door, leaning his weight against the stone pillar beside my chamber window and looked out toward the courtyard, before turning to me with that soldier-straight posture of his and said, “There was a council meeting while we were gone.”My fingers froze on the buttons. I rose slowly, the shirt I had barely buttoned slipping off my shoulder. “They voted without me?”“Yes” he replied matter of factly “Unanimously.”“On what?”“Your removal.”Silence“They claimed it was for the good

    DANGER A-BREWING “Which of you maggots let in the killer?” The voice was low—it wasn't deep or soft, but it was so measured, the words came out as smooth as glass, and untouched by feelings. Five guards knelt in a line against the damp stone wall. Sweat soaked through their uniforms. The stench of rust and filth always lingered in the tunnel air, made thicker with the rot of old wars and newer sins. A figure stepped forward. Wearing a dark brown cloak, its hood drawn tight. No skin shown beneath the folds. No scent that could be traced. Not even footsteps. Just a purposefully altered voice. “Varcen is dead,” it continued. “Stabbed in the gut like a pig in a butcher’s yard. And you—guttersnipes” the figure gestured lazily with a gloved hand, “—were the ones on duty.” The guards said nothing. Big mistake. The figure turned, summoning an enormous and muscly man who stepped in from the corridor behind. This one carried a leather roll of cruel tools. Old, rusted ones.

    FATE IN BLOOM Vivienne’s POVThe healing wing was still, but neither of us could sleep.Celene sat by the window in silence, her knees drawn to her chest, with her arms wrapped tightly around them. Her eyes stared at nothing, unfocused, distant. I knew that look—I’d seen it in the reflection of every mirror I’d looked into since Silver Crown fell.“I still hear it,” she said quietly.I looked up from the cot, my own thoughts tangled and heavy. “Hear what?”Her golden eyes found mine, soft and warm like pure honey. “The screams. The sound of the other she-wolves crying, and begging for mercy. Balthazar’s voice…I hear it when I close my eyes.”“That thing…” She continued her eyes glazed, staring but unfocused. “Balthazar let it feed near me sometimes. Just to see how long it would take me to scream and beg.”A chill went down my spine.“I didn’t scream,” she added, almost like a confession. “I bit down so hard I chipped one of my own teeth.”I blinked. “Celene…”“I think I was afraid

    FOUND AND BOUND Vivienne’s POVFire.Screams.A shadow barreling through the snow—its fangs like curved blades, its eyes blazing red.I couldn't run. I couldn't scream. My throat burned from smoke. I grabbed my neck, trying to breathe. My hands felt sticky and wet. I looked at it.Blood.Someone else's, maybe mine. The walls of Silvercrown fell around me, one after another, the blue banners of the kingdom shredded and smeared in gore. Balthazar stood atop the stairs, smiling as he unleashed the mutated beast from a black cage."Run, little one," he whispered. "Let’s see how far you can go."Then the forest swallowed me whole.Darkness.Twisting branches that reached for my throat. Wendigo lurking past the trees. It jumps out with its ribs opening like jaws, something inside writhing, trying to break free. I screamed, but no sound came. I struck it with fire—again and again—but it didn’t burn. The ground cracked. The sky bled.And then I was falling.Endlessly falling.I gasped awake

    THE RETURN Cassius’s POVWe found our way out of the forest just as the sun graced the horizon.Up above, the sky was painted in hues of amber and gold, but inside the forest, the light didn’t touch us. The trees formed a ceiling of tangled limbs, so thick it was like a dome of darkness had sealed the woods from the world. Even with the sun rising, the forest remained cold, dim, and unbreathing—as if light had no dominion here.But something had changed.The whispers had stopped. The oppressive weight in the air began to loosen, and for the first time in hours, we could breathe without effort. The paths, once shifting and confusing, now led forward without resistance.We didn’t speak. Just kept walking—past gnarled roots and crooked branches, over patches of damp earth that no longer pulled at our boots.And then we stepped out.Just like that, we crossed the edge.The light hit our faces.Real light. Warm, golden, and blinding after long hours in the dark. I stopped and squinted, li
