Declan's POV

“The alternative is a blood moon ritual,” Callum said, “no preparation period, no ceremonial buffer, full consent from all parties and all three marks in one night.”

I felt the tension in the room shift as the temperature dropped

Rider’s head tilted slightly, already calculating, already pulling threads together, and I could see Bailey watching all of us at once like she was trying to decide where the real danger was sitting.

Callum continued, “It is also where Sera Voss becomes a

    Declan's POVShe. The word echoed in my head, simple and sharp. A woman. My mind immediately started running through faces, a whirlwind of every female I’d seen roaming the palace halls over the last few months. A dozen, two dozen. Too many. Then Voss’s words cut through the mental static. “Already here when you started planning.” That narrowed it, but not by much. Women were always “here.” Then the next twist: “Someone who had been forgiven.” And the bitter kicker: “Someone nobody would suspect because of that forgiveness.”My gaze found Raven’s across the room. Her eyes, usually so guarded, were wide with a sudden, dawning terror. A flicker of recognition passed between us, a silent chord struck. We had both arrived at the same conclusion, and the name that formed in our minds was a stone in my gut. We didn’t speak it, couldn

    Rider's POVBailey brought Sol to me, a quiet shadow trailing in her wake. I had imagined confronting him, had planned the anger I would unleash, but the fury withered five minutes into his careful, nervous explanation. He stood before me, a man of twenty-four, gaunt and pale under the harsh light of my office. He had been Voss’s tethered puppet since childhood, and the weight of that truth settled heavily. He had sat in a room beside Bailey for three months, a wilting mourning flower in his hand, convinced Voss would have him killed if he failed, certain some other, more ruthless operative would take his place.“The flower,” I said, my voice rougher than I intended, “why did you keep it?”Sol flinched, his eyes darting to Bailey, then back to m

    Bailey's POVI arranged it through Leila. Such a simple thing, really. A request for the east wing archivist to bring me a selection of historical texts from the lower library. It was exactly the kind of dusty, academic task I often found myself immersed in. Nothing alarming. Nothing out of the ordinary. Leila came back quickly, her expression unburdened, and confirmed that Sol would bring the texts within the hour.I sat in the vast, silent library, the high ceilings making my own breathing sound unnervingly loud. The ornate wooden shelves, packed with centuries of forgotten stories and records, felt like they were watching me. I thought about what I was doing, the quiet rebellion budding in my chest. Was it foolish? Incredibly. Necessary? Entirely.Sol arrived exactl

    Raven's POVThe reports were on the data slate, glowing faintly in the dim light of my office. Five clean. Five blank slate, exactly as they should be. It was the sixth that snagged, a sharp, unwelcome burr in the otherwise smooth fabric of the investigation. Sol. Junior archivist, east wing administrative staff. Twenty-four years old, eighteen months with the pack, spotless record. No flags, no incidents, no complaints. Except for the gap.Three months ago. The same week the adjacent room was first occupied. The system showed a transfer request approved by a mid-level steward named Kael. Kael had been gone for almost two weeks now, vanished from the territory right before the council session. Nobody could find him. Convenient.I walked the few hallways over to Rider&r

    Bailey's POVI had been in Rider’s room for four nights when the nausea started. It always came before dawn, a sickening lurch deep in my gut that made my tongue feel thick. I moved quietly, pushing myself out of the warm bed and padding across the plush carpet to the bathroom. I kept the light off, finding my way by the faint glow filtering in from the palace grounds, and tried to be quick, to be silent. I didn’t want to wake him. Back in bed, snuggled into the blankets, I would try to fall back asleep before he stirred, before he could know. I managed it for two days.On the third morning, Rider was already awake. I closed the bathroom door, my stomach still roiling, and saw him sitting up in bed. His dark hair was a mess, his shoulders hunched, and he was watching the bathroom door with an expression I couldn't q

    Declan's POVRaven caught me by the kitchen door, a strange, almost conspiratorial glint in her eyes. “Did you hear?” she whispered, glancing over her shoulder as if someone might be listening in on mundane pack gossip.I frowned, shaking my head. “Hear what? That the cook’s trying a new recipe for dinner tonight?”She rolled her eyes. “No, not about food. Though, knowing you, that’s probably important. It’s about Luna Bailey.”My ears perked up, an automatic reflex. “What about her?”“Leila told me,” Raven said, lowering her voice a fraction further. “Bailey’s m
