CASPIAN

Halting before the courtroom, I signaled one of the guards situated at the door, who stepped forward immediately.

“Find Astrid, tell her to bring her cousin to the courtroom, as soon as she gets her ready,” I ordered, and he scurried off.

The other pushed the door open and I was met with a riot of tension. I hadn’t been seen since my wound wouldn't heal, and the rumors had festered like an open wound.

The moment I stepped through the towering doors, the room fell silent. Councilors, nobles, pack betas, all turned toward me with wide eyes and barely disguised alertness.

Whispers erupted. “The king is here?”

“He doesn't look infected as they said.”

“He’s alive…”

“Thank the heavens…”

Ignoring their words, I walked up to my throne and slowly sat on it, whilst fixing my eyes on the door.

I expected Astrid to show up sooner, so that I could make my plans known to everyone present.

The doors opened, but Jacob, my beta, was the one who stepped in. Striding over

    CASPIAN Two whole days had passed, yet everything felt fuck!ng wrong and unreal. Exactly ike a bad dream, I was waiting to wake up from it. *Then let me go, Caspian,* *. . . If I meant nothing to you, then there is no reason to keep me.* Those exact words refused to leave my mind. Why? Even though I was still trying to find the answer, but the questions kept piling up. Why would she lie to my face, and betray me? Why did she pretend to care for me and be loyal when, deep down, it was all a part of her plan? Was I really that stupid? To have completely ignored every other sign, just because she was lost, and alone. A knock interrupted and penetrated my thoughts. I lazily raised my gaze to the door, aware of who stood behind it just by her scent. “Go away, Astrid.” “I wish I could, my King, but I really need to speak to you. Please permit me.” “Leave Astrid. Do not disturb my peace.” I groaned, tearing my gaze from the door. The last thing I wanted was to speak

    NAMIKO Pain exploded through my arm, white-hot and sharp. “Arrg!” I cried out as my body hit the forest ground. Leaves scattered beneath me as the world spun before my eyes. I clutched my wounded arm on impulse, trying to breathe through the agonizing ache. But I couldn't stay down, or whoever is trying to kill me would definitely succeed. I promised myself a life, and I can't lose that now. Ignoring the pain in my arm, I dug my fingers into the dirt and forced myself to move. “Get up, Namiko, come on. . .” My words came out in a desperate whimper. Tears burned the back of my eyes, but I sniffed them back, clenching my teeth as I gathered the last of my waning strength. My hands trembled violently, unable to assist me with my weight. I plunged back to the ground, face buried in the dirt for a few seconds. Raising my head, I spat out the dirt, breathing heavily. I tilted my head to glance behind me. The coast still seemed clear, but I couldn't dwell on that. Whoev

    NAMIKO Journeying through the woods with nothing but my will to survive, every step felt endless, like a waste of time. What choice did I have? Stay locked in a dungeon and await my execution? Plead tirelessly for Caspian to forgive me when I did nothing wrong? This wasn't a struggle of ego, it was plain injustice that I just couldn't stand. Ariana shows up out of nowhere with fake evidence against me, and Caspian believes without reasonable doubt. How could he? Yes, I was a stranger and a liar, but aside from all that, I was nothing but loyal. Why would I spend most of my time trying to find a cure for him? Would a traitor do that? I scoffed out loud, kicking a stone in my path. “Fuck Caspian! Fuck Ariana! Fuck everyone!” I screamed out loud, sniffling as tears slipped out of my eyes. I roughly wiped the tears off my face and kept moving deeper into the woods, away from anything that connects me to him. I could have gone toward the nearest village or town and thrown

    Namiko’s POV Stone walls pressed in, damp and ancient, sealing me in with nothing but stale air and the echo of my own thoughts. Days had blurred into nights, and the shadows whispered accusations I couldn’t try to even fight. I hadn’t seen a map. I had never touched a locket. But it didn’t matter, no one cared for the truth when it came from the mouth of someone like me. A liar and a threat. The guards came at dusk. “His Majesty has granted your request,” one of them muttered, not looking at me. His nose wrinkled as if my presence offended him. I stood on legs that barely remembered how to work. My wrists throbbed where the shackles had bruised them. My feet dragged as they led me through the stone corridors, up and up until the scent of ash, pine, and storm met me like a blow to the chest. Less than an hour later, I was dragged back through the halls of the palace. Not chained, but not free either. The guards flanked me like I was a weapon ready to detonate. The thro

    Namiko’s POV The cell was cold. Not just the kind of cold that settled into your skin, but the kind that buried itself in your bones and made you forget what warmth ever felt like. I sat curled on the stone slab that passed for a bed, tracing circles into the grime with my fingertip, trying to think. Trying to breathe. Days had passed, how many, I didn’t knowhow long it has been since I was thrown into this dungeon for a crime I didn’t commit. I hadn’t seen a map. I’d never touched a locket. But truth, as it already seemed, held no weight here. Not when the court already saw me as the poison to be removed itself. And Caspian, Caspian hadn’t even come to check on me. Not even once. I told myself I didn’t care. That his absence was a blessing. That I didn’t want to look into the eyes of a king who once took me into his arms like I was something sacred, and now believed the worse of me. But it wasn’t true. Because I did care. Because part of me still wanted him to be

    Alpha Rowan The teacup rattled in its saucer as I set it down, fingers twitching with tension I hadn’t let myself acknowledge, not out loud. Not yet. But it's there. It is poking at me so intently. The council meeting had ended an hour ago, but the weight of it still clung to me like a wet cloak. Words about territory, patrols, and border tensions… but no one dared mention what really hung in the air. Why hasn’t the Alpha King come? He said he would. Two weeks ago. I had the letter sealed with his own crest. Promising his presence. Promising recognition. A visit from the King was more than a formality, it was a signal, a blessing with means a merging of status. Without it, the talks of joining my pack with my another pack remain just that talk. Ideas, dreams of the hopeful, nothing concrete and definitely nothing, recognized. My jaw locked. My temples pulsed in my head! I can't get my head right to function well. The longer he stayed away, the more unstable everythin
