Callis stayed behind after Emmeline quietly left the room. She hadn’t said much. Just nodded, mumbled something about needing space, and walked off with that tight look on her face that told me she was barely holding herself together.

I got it. Hell, I felt the same. But someone had to hold the line, and right now, that someone was me.

"So," I said, folding my arms as I turned back to Callis. "The kid's not dangerous. That right?"

She glanced up from the scrolls, brushing a loose curl behind her ear. "Not dangerous," she said softly. "Powerful, yes. Different, absolutely. But dangerous? No. That child is a protector. A Rivenborn, through and through."

"Then why does it feel like everyone’s preparing for war?"

"Because fear makes people stupid," she said, looking me dead in the eye. "And cowards usually yell the loudest."

I let out a bitter laugh. "Ain't that the damn truth."

There was a pause. The kind where the air thickens, heavy with the weight of everything we still

    EMMELINE□■□■□■□■Something felt wrong before I even opened my eyes. It was like the air had weight. Like I was being watched. My whole body tensed, and I knew—without knowing why—that the world had shifted while I slept.I woke to a strange tension in the air, like something pressing down on the estate. Distant howls echoed through the early morning mist, unsettling and unfamiliar.I pushed off the sheets, barefoot as I crossed to the balcony. And that’s when I saw them.Wolves. At least forty. Silent. Still as statues at the edge of the forest, their glowing eyes locked on the estate. Not rogues. No, rogues don’t hold that kind of posture. They were Rivenborn.My heart picked up speed. I grabbed the balcony rail like it would hold me together. But between them and the estate gates, standing like a goddamn wall, were armed council soldiers. Dozens of them. Shields up. Their weapons were drawn. Ready for war.And right in front of them, like he’d just stepped out of a nightmare to fa

    DARIUS□■□■□■I was dead asleep, dreaming when the knock came.No, not a knock. A goddamn pounding. Fists slamming against my door like someone meant to break it off its hinges.I sat up, heart racing, still half stuck in whatever dream I’d been having—something warm. Emmeline. Her laugh, I think. Then the pounding again. Gone was the softness.I rolled out of bed, heart already hammering, yanked a shirt over my head, and opened the damn door.Dawson was standing there, chest heaving like he’d run through fire. His eyes—wide, wild. That wasn’t normal.“They’re here,” he said.My stomach dropped. “Who?”He didn’t even blink. “Council guards. Armed. Dozens of them."I didn’t ask another fucking thing. I moved.Boots. Jacket. Gun. I didn’t even stop to tie the laces before I was halfway up the damn stairs to the rooftop. My mind was already racing. Why now? Why like this?By the time I got to the rooftop, the sun hadn’t even broken the horizon. But the whole goddamn estate was glowing

    EMMELINE□■□■□■I walked to the edge of the forest again, alone this time. Darius had made sure of that. No guards, no shadows watching from behind the trees. Just me. And her. Or, I hoped, her.The air was thick. Like the forest knew something I didn’t. Like it was holding its breath. Every step I took made the silence louder. I stopped when the trees started to crowd in, their roots twisting under my boots. I waited.Then she came.The small dark wolf. Same sharp eyes, same stillness. Her fur rippled in the wind that wasn’t there.I didn’t speak at first. Didn’t move either. Then I said, quietly, "I know what I carry now."She stared at me. Still and unblinking. And then, like a thread snapping, she shifted. One blink and there she was–in her human form. Young. But calm in a way that made me feel like I was the child here, not her."I am Nara," she said. Her voice was soft but it carried like wind through dry leaves. "And you carry what was lost."I frowned. "What does that mean? Wh

    DARIUS□■□■□The door opened, and in walked a man who looked like time had tried to kill him and failed miserably.They brought him in just past noon. I was already waiting in the east hall when Sylas arrived with him—a tall, wiry old man, hunched slightly, leaning heavily on a crooked cane. His face looked like stone worn by wind and time. Scar across his left brow, skin dark and weathered like old leather.I stood, heart already racing. It wasn’t fear. Not quite. But something close. Like the feeling before a storm hits.Eron Routhan. That was the name Sylas had given me. Said he was older than dirt but sharper than most men half his age. Said he might know the truth about Emmeline’s mother—and if we were lucky, something about the Rivenborn blood.His limp was pronounced, but it didn’t make him look weak. No, there was something in his eyes. Sharp. Watchful.He didn’t bow. Didn’t even blink when he looked me straight in the eye.“I’m not here to kiss the crown,” he said. “I’m here

    EMMELINE□■□■□■It started like any other dream—hazy edges, muffled sounds, that strange weightlessness like I was floating through someone else’s memories. But this one turned fast.My child stood in front of me. Not a baby anymore. Maybe six or seven. Too still. Too silent. And those eyes—black. No whites. Just void. Bottomless.There was blood on their hands.Dripping. Thick. Red.And behind them... a battlefield.Wolves.So many.Dead.Some ripped in half. Some burnt. Some with their throats slashed open like they hadn’t even seen it coming. I didn’t know if I was supposed to scream or throw up.But I did neither.I just stood there, frozen. Watching this... this thing that came from me, turn slowly. Their voice was hollow. Flat."They came for you."I jerked awake with a scream so loud I felt my lungs collapse in on themselves.The door slammed open. Darius was there in a heartbeat, shirt half off, eyes wide and wild. "Emme!"I was already sitting up, clutching the sheets to my c
