In the center, tied in iron, chained, Draven stood.

The chains clinked whenever he shifted, the noise echoing in the silence. His shoulders were squared, his jaw set, his golden eyes burning.

Tame, the pack's alpha and Liora's father, rose from the top chair at the end of the hall. His fist around the carved top of his staff was white-knuckled with tension.

"Draven of the cursed line," he intoned, his voice echoing. "You are accused of imposing your bond on my daughter without her permission. You are accused of endangering this pack, of bringing war upon us by your presence alone."

The elders grunted, their heads nodding gravely.

Kaelen stepped out of the shadows of the corridor, his steps confident, an affected haughtiness in every stride. His dark hair was back from his face, his tunic spotless, as if he had practiced this performance.

"I, Kaelen of the Iron Fang," he bowed slightly, though there was a flash of feigned humility in his eyes, "swear before this council that I slept w

    Outside the palace walls, the warriors spread out across the surrounding forest, their movements precise but cautious. Each step they took was calculated, careful not to disturb the terrain too much, though the signs Draven left behind were impossible to ignore. The ground bore the deep impressions of his claws, and the underbrush was torn and bent in ways that suggested the raw power behind each movement. Every broken branch and snapped twig screamed of his presence, though none dared approach him directly. Draven was no longer merely a man; he was a predator under the influence of the Blood Moon, a wolf driven by instinct and fury.Kael and a group of trackers examined the path he had taken. “His energy is increasing,” Kael said, voice low but tense. “Every step he takes, the forest feels it. He’s getting stronger and more violent.”One of the younger scouts hesitated. “Should we… follow him?”Kael shook his head. “We track, but we do not engage. Not yet. This is not a normal wolf.

    Selene’s scream cut through the corridor.“Help! Someone help me! Liora tried to kill me!”The guards outside the chamber reacted instantly. They pushed the door open and rushed inside with urgency. Liora was still standing near the cradle, trying to calm Silver. Selene crouched near the wall, clutching her arm dramatically, her voice trembling as she continued shouting.“She attacked me! She lost control again!”The guards immediately moved toward Liora.Liora stepped back, shielding the cradle with her body. “Stop. Listen to me. She provoked—”“Restrain her!” Selene yelled, pointing at Liora as if she were a threat. “She attacked the acting chieftess. She’s unstable!”Two guards grabbed Liora’s arms before she could react. She struggled out of instinct, not to escape—only to keep them away from the baby.“Don’t take him,” she said quickly. “Whatever you do, don’t separate us.”Selene stood up slowly, exaggerating her pain. “She’s dangerous. She attacked me without reason. If she sta

    The chamber door shut behind Liora, and the guards locked it from the outside. The room was small but clean, with a bed, a single chair, and a cradle for Silver. Two guards stood directly outside the door, their shadows visible beneath the threshold. Liora sat on the edge of the bed, holding Silver close as he fed quietly. She kept her breathing steady so he wouldn’t sense her tension.Silver finished feeding and drifted into a light sleep. Liora placed him gently in the cradle and stood beside it, watching him with silent determination. Everything she needed to focus on was in that cradle. Whatever Selene planned, Liora would endure it for her child.Minutes passed. Then footsteps approached.The door unlocked.Selene stepped inside with two attendants behind her. She dismissed them with a wave, and they closed the door from the outside. Selene faced Liora with a pleasant expression that didn’t match the sharp edge in her eyes.“I came to check on you,” Selene said. “It must be overw

    The council hall remained heavy with tension after Selene’s accusations. No one moved or spoke for several moments. Liora held Silver close, feeling the weight of every stare on her. Selene stood tall at the center of the hall, her expression cold and controlled.Then Selene lifted her hand.“I’ve heard enough,” she announced, her voice echoing through the hall. “Until Draven returns and the truth is revealed, Liora and her child are to be confined. This is for their safety, and for the safety of the kingdom.”The words hit the room instantly. Several nobles gasped. A few guards exchanged uneasy looks. Kael took a step forward, disbelief etched across his face.“You cannot be serious,” Kael said. “Confinement? She has done nothing wrong.”Selene didn’t look at him. “This is not punishment. It is a precaution.”“That is not precaution,” Kael shot back. “That is an accusation wrapped in excuses.”Selene finally faced him. Her expression sharpened. “Are you challenging my authority?”“I’

    The council hall was already tense when Liora stepped inside with Silver in her arms. The nobles, warriors, and attendants stood in tight groups, whispering about the chaos Draven left behind. The Blood Moon still cast its red glow outside, staining the sky and reminding everyone of the danger they now faced.Selene stood at the center of the hall with two senior nobles beside her. Her posture was rigid, her expression sharp with anger. The moment she saw Liora, her eyes narrowed.“There she is,” Selene said loudly, ensuring her voice echoed across the hall.Conversation stopped instantly. Every head turned. Liora tightened her hold on Silver, staying calm even as fatigue weighed heavily on her body. She had barely recovered from holding Draven back hours earlier.Selene walked toward her with deliberate steps. “You finally show yourself after causing all this damage.”Liora stayed silent for a moment. “My only focus was protecting Draven and my child. Nothing more.”Selene scoffed lo

    The fortress erupted into noise and confusion the moment word spread that Draven had broken free and escaped into the forest. The Warriors ran through the halls. Healers rushed toward the lower chambers. Servants whispered in panic as the Blood Moon’s red glow intensified.Selene entered the main hall with heavy steps, her expression sharp and angry. She didn’t wait for anyone to speak before raising her voice.“Where is Liora?” she demanded.Several nobles followed behind her, clearly unsure whether to support her or stay neutral. Selene didn’t give them time to think. She pointed at the guards by the staircase.“Bring the Luna here immediately.”A guard answered cautiously. “She’s with the child, my lady. Kael instructed—”“I did not ask what Kael instructed,” Selene cut in. “Bring her.”The guards looked uneasy but obeyed. Moments later, Liora entered the hall carrying Silver, Mira walking close beside her. The room grew tense instantly.Selene stepped forward. “Explain yourself.”
