SOLD TO THE LYCAN KING AFTER MY MATE REJECTED ME THE LETTER
KAEL'S POVThe rider found us two hours past midnight, his horse nearly collapsing beneath him from the pace he had kept."Your Majesty!" He fell from the saddle rather than dismounting properly. "The capital. The northern gate has fallen.""Fallen?" I was already moving toward my horse. "How?""An explosion, Your Majesty. Wolves came through in numbers. Lady Aurelia is holding the courtyard, but the reports were not good when I left.""Garrick," I said, my voice sharp enough that every soldier near me went still. "We ride now. Leave the supply wagons. Anyone who cannot keep pace falls behind.""Yes, Your Majesty."I do not remember most of the ride back. I remember the burn in my chest that had nothing to do with exertion, the bond pulling at me with a fear I could not name. I remember cutting through a small patrol of enemy scouts who had strayed too close to our path, my sword moving faster than thought, driven by something that was not quite rage and not quite terror.We reached t

AURELIA'S POVThe wolves came through the broken gate faster than any of us could form a line against them, and I did not have time to think before I acted."Hold the courtyard!" Fenna's voice cut through the smoke, hoarse and desperate. "Archers, to the inner wall!"I raised my hands and let the silver light burst outward, wide and fast, catching the first wave of wolves before they reached the soldiers scrambling to form ranks. The light did not kill them. It threw them back, hard, against the broken timber of the gate, giving our men the seconds they needed to close their shields."My lady, behind you!"I turned in time to see a wolf leap toward one of the younger soldiers, teeth bared, and I threw a narrow band of light between them. It struck the wolf mid-air and sent it crashing sideways into the courtyard wall."Thank you, my lady," the soldier gasped, scrambling back to his feet."Stay in formation," I told him. "Do not fight alone.""Yes, my lady." He gripped his shield tight
SOLD TO THE LYCAN KING AFTER MY MATE REJECTED ME QUEEN OF THE WALLS
AURELIA'S POVI had never commanded anything in my life before the northern gate became my responsibility, and I did not have the luxury of learning slowly."My lady, the eastern wall reports the reserves are still short of arrows," a young officer said, hurrying to keep pace beside me as I walked the length of the inner courtyard. "The captain there asks if he should pull stores from the southern armory.""Pull them," I said. "The south is quieter than the east right now. We can restock it later if needed.""Yes, my lady.""And send word to the blacksmiths. I want every spare piece of iron turned into arrowheads by morning, not decoration for the feast hall."He almost smiled at that. "I will tell them, my lady."I had spent the first day mostly listening, letting the officers and captains explain what needed to be done while I learned the shape of the problem. By the second day, I had begun giving orders of my own, and by the third, the soldiers had stopped hesitating before follow

KAEL'S POVI stared at the bloodstained map until the lines on it stopped making sense, and then I understood exactly what they meant."They never intended to fight at the pass," I said.Garrick leaned over the table beside me. "Your Majesty?""Three thousand men marching openly into a mountain pass, in full view of every scout we have along that border." I traced the western line with one finger, then dragged it north across the paper. "That is not an army preparing to fight. That is an army meant to be seen.""A distraction," Aurelia said quietly."Yes." I looked up at the messenger, still catching his breath by the tent flap. "How large is the force moving north?""My scouts counted closer to five thousand, Your Majesty. Moving fast, through the forest roads, avoiding the main paths entirely.""Five thousand." Garrick's jaw tightened. "That is more than double what we prepared for at the pass.""And the capital's northern gate is held by what, three hundred men?""Closer to two hun

AURELIA'S POVI did not ask Kael for permission to ride with the elite unit, and he did not offer it. We simply understood each other by the time we reached the stables."You are certain about this," he said, tightening the strap on his saddle."I have never been more certain of anything.""The council agreed you would ride with the vanguard for a battle, not a scouting skirmish.""Enemy scouts at the outer farms could mean the main force is close behind. If I wait here, I will only worry myself sick." I swung up onto my horse. "I would rather be useful."He looked at me for a long moment, then nodded once. "Stay close to me. No further than an arm's length, if you can manage it.""I will try.""Try harder than that."The elite unit rode out within the hour, twenty of Kael's most trusted soldiers moving fast through the dark toward the western farms. The captain, a broad-shouldered man named Garrick, rode just ahead of us."Scouts were spotted near the Hollis farmstead, Your Majesty,"

WAR COUNCILKAEL'S POVI had not wanted Aurelia in the war room, and she had made it very clear that my wanting did not matter."I am not asking, Kael," she said as we walked toward the council chamber that morning. "I am telling you I will be there.""It will not be a calm meeting.""I did not expect a calm meeting. I expect old men shouting about things they do not understand.""That is close to what will happen.""Then I will be ready for it."I could not argue with that, so I did not try. When we entered, the room was already half full. Roderic stood near the map table. Three generals sat along one side. Lord Ashcombe and two other senior lords sat along the other, and Malrik occupied his usual chair near the head of the table, close to mine.Every eye turned to Aurelia as she took the seat beside me."My lady," Lord Ashcombe said carefully. "This is a council of war.""I am aware of that, my lord.""With respect, matters of troop movement and strategy are not usually…""Lord Ashc
