SHE RISES FROM RUINS: A COLLECTION OF WOMEN POWER STORIES Is she pregnant?
CHAPTER 17Cassian walked through the palace corridors with a frown creasing his forehead. Something was wrong. Very wrong.The first maid he encountered had pressed herself against the wall as he passed, her eyes wide with what looked like fear. He had paused, confused, but she had scurried away before he could ask what was wrong.The second maid had done the same thing. Dropped her gaze, shrunk back as if he carried some contagious disease.By the third encounter, a young servant girl who had actually whimpered and fled when she saw him approaching. Cassian knew something serious had happened.What had Cecilia done now?He made his way to the training grounds, hoping to find some normalcy there. Lila was practising alone, her movements fluid as she worked through a series of strikes against a training dummy."Mind if I join you?" he called out.Lila turned, and something flickered across her face. Concern? Worry? But she smiled and gestured for him to come forward."Of course. I coul
SHE RISES FROM RUINS: A COLLECTION OF WOMEN POWER STORIES The rumors
CHAPTER 14THE RUMORSMorning came too quickly. Cecilia had barely slept, her mind replaying the scene at the fountain over and over. Cassian's words in the room. His touch. The way he had looked at her with such patience despite everything she had done.*You see what you want to see.*She pushed the memory away and dressed quickly, avoiding the bed where Cassian.By the time she reached the training grounds, the sun had barely cleared the horizon. She threw herself into drills with a fury that left her muscles screaming, but at least the physical pain drowned out everything else.Darcy found her two hours later, her beta's face tight with concern."We need to talk." Her voice was low, urgent."Not now." Cecilia blocked an imaginary opponent's strike, her movements sharp and precise."Yes, now." Darcy moved into her line of sight, forcing her to stop. "There are rumours spreading through the pack."Cecilia lowered her practice sword. "What kind of rumours?""About you and your conso
SHE RISES FROM RUINS: A COLLECTION OF WOMEN POWER STORIES The heat of jealousy
CHAPTER 16THE HEAT OF JEALOUSYCecilia stormed into their chambers and slammed the door behind her so hard the frame rattled. The sound echoed in the quiet room, but it did nothing to calm her. Her heart was hammering, her hands shaking with fury. She could still see it clearly – Lila’s fingers on Cassian’s face, the way he let her touch him, the soft way he thanked her. The image burned behind her eyes like hot coals.She paced the length of the room, boots thudding against the stone floor. Every step made her angrier. He had the nerve to sit there with her cousin, letting her tend to him like he belonged to her. Like Cecilia meant nothing.The door opened quietly behind her.Cassian stepped inside and closed it with a soft click. He didn’t speak at first. He just stood there, watching her pace, his face still calm even after the slap she had given him in front of Lila.Cecilia spun round. “You think you can play me for a fool?”He tilted his head slightly. “I don’t know what yo
SHE RISES FROM RUINS: A COLLECTION OF WOMEN POWER STORIES The first betrayal
CHAPTER 012THE FIRST BETRAYALCecilia's heart hammered against her ribs as she watched Cassian's knuckles rap against Lila's door. Once. Twice. Three times.The door opened almost immediately, as if Lila had been waiting. She was fully dressed despite the late hour, not in sleeping clothes but in a simple day dress. Her hair was loose around her shoulders, and even from this distance, Cecilia could see the soft smile that crossed her face when she saw Cassian.They spoke in voices too low for Cecilia to hear. Then Lila stepped out, closing the door quietly behind her. She gestured down the hallway, and Cassian nodded.They were leaving together at midnight in secret.Cecilia pressed herself harder against the wall as they passed, holding her breath until they turned the corner. Then she followed, keeping far enough back that they wouldn't notice her but close enough not to lose them.Her mind spun with questions, with accusations, with hurt she refused to acknowledge. Where were

CHAPTER 011THE GROWING DISTANCEThree days had passed since Cecilia had seen Cassian sitting with Lila at the fountain. Three days since those words had burned themselves into her mind. *She deserves better, but she refuses to see it.*Three days of avoiding Cassian at every turn.She threw herself into war preparations with a fury that left even her most hardened warriors exhausted. Dawn to dusk, she pushed them through drills, strategy sessions, weapons training. Her commands were sharper than usual, her critiques more cutting. No one escaped her wrath.When she wasn't training, she was in the strategy room, plotting routes, identifying weak points in their defenses, planning counter-attacks. Sleep became an afterthought. Food was something she grabbed between sessions.And through it all, she made sure she was never alone with Cassian.She woke before him and left their chambers whilst he still slept. She ate meals at different times. When they were forced into the same room f
SHE RISES FROM RUINS: A COLLECTION OF WOMEN POWER STORIES The war council
CHAPTER 10THE WAR COUNCILThe throne room erupted into chaos.Voices rose in panic as the elders leaned towards each other, speaking in rushed, frightened whispers. Hands gestured wildly as their faces paled further. The news of three packs potentially forming an alliance against them had thrown them into complete disorder."We need to send envoys immediately—""No, we need to fortify the borders first—""What about our own alliances? Can we call on—""This is a disaster. An absolute disaster—"Cecilia remained perfectly still amidst the frenzy, her arms crossed, her expression calm. She watched the elders panic with something close to contempt in her eyes.Bonn's voice cut through the noise. "Cecilia. Why do you look so calm? Aren't you going to do something about this?"She turned her gaze to him, then let it sweep across the room, landing on each elder in turn. When she spoke, her voice was cold enough to freeze blood."You're pathetic."The room fell silent. Every elder stared at
