Evelyn’s POV

After I ran away from the feast, I went straight to my mother. She couldn’t attend the feast tonight. She was doing worse than before. Her sickness skyrocketed last night, and now she looked so pale and weak, barely breathing in her sleep.

I sighed deeply as I watched her rest peacefully. I lost my father early, and now she’s the only one I have left. I can’t bear to lose her too. The thought of it alone is enough to drive me insane.

Flashes of what happened earlier at the feast kept haunting me. How Lucien came after me just because I switched the drink that was supposed to harm me. The way he looked at me—it wasn’t just anger, it was the kind of look a protective mate gives when someone tries to hurt his beloved. For a moment, it almost felt like he cared.

That’s how he’s supposed to protect me, to shield me like a true Alpha would. But instead, he was furious—furious that I changed the same drink his precious girlfriend tried to give me.

I know I’m nothing but a worthless omega in his eyes, but at least… shouldn’t he act fair? Shouldn’t he see the truth, even just once?

I shake my head at myself, at how pitiful my own voice sounds. My heart aches, heavy with all the words I can never say to him.

With that, I curl up beside my mother, hugging her frail body close. She’s my only comfort in this cruel world. My only reason to keep breathing. Slowly, I close my eyes, letting the exhaustion pull me under.

Lucien’s POV

Selena was completely wasted. I carried her to her room, intending to leave right after, but she clung to me like an octopus, her arms tight around my neck. Her voice was slurred and trembling.

“I’m so scared, Lucien. Please stay with me tonight. It’s been so long since we spent time together,” she whispered.

I had planned to walk out, but looking at her shaking and tearful, I hesitated. Maybe she truly was scared. Maybe she just needed me for tonight. So I sat down beside her, keeping a little distance, but staying anyway.

Then, in a loud voice, I called out, “Rowan.”

He answered instantly from outside the door. “Yes, Alpha.”

“Have you investigated what substance was in the drink Evelyn was supposed to drink?” I asked.

“Yes, Alpha. I have investigated.”

His tone was cautious, hesitant. It annoyed me. “Then say it. Why do you sound like you’re hiding something? Are you trying to protect Evelyn?”

“No, Alpha. I would never dare to lie to you or look at your woman in that way.”

“She is no woman of mine,” I said coldly. “She’s too worthless to claim.”

Rowan didn’t reply, but when I turned, I saw him shaking his head slightly—as if saying, You can pretend all you want, but I saw how your eyes burned when she was almost hurt.

I clenched my jaw. He wasn’t wrong.

“Speak, Rowan,” I said, my voice hardening. “Stop wasting my time.”

He straightened, then said firmly, “Since you asked for it, the substance found in the drink was Gwaram.”

“Gwaram?” I repeated, to be sure I heard correctly.

“Yes, Alpha. Gwaram—the root used to make someone lose self-control. It’s powerful and Dangerous. especially for an original omega like Evelyn."

I went silent for a moment, the word echoing in my mind. If what he said was true…

“If Lady Selena truly put that in Evelyn’s drink,” Rowan continued carefully, “then it means she wanted to harm her.”

My brows furrowed. The thought didn’t sit right.

I told him not to jump to conclusions. “We only saw Evelyn switch the drink. We can’t be sure Selena didn’t plan it that way. For all we know, Evelyn could have done it herself to frame her.”

Rowan frowned. “But Alpha”

I raised a hand to silence him. “No assumptions, Rowan. We have no proof. And there’s no witness who heard Selena say anything.”

He bit his tongue, though I could tell he wanted to argue.

I sighed and rubbed my temples. “We’ll wait until morning. I’ll question both Selena and Evelyn myself. Until then, no more talk about this.”

Rowan nodded, though the look in his eyes told me he didn’t agree.

When he left, I sat there for a while, staring at Selena as she slept, her hand still clinging weakly to my sleeve.

Part of me wanted to believe she couldn’t do something so vile. But another part of me—the part that remembered Evelyn’s trembling eyes—wasn’t so sure anymore.

    Ariel’s POVThe room was still shaking when the last spark of golden light faded from my fingers.My chest rose and fell fast, too fast. My heartbeat felt like thunder inside me. Damien’s hands were warm on my cheeks, but even that warmth felt far away.“Ariel,” he whispered, voice rough. “Look at me.”“I… I can’t.”My voice cracked and I said with a trembling voice. “Damien, something is wrong. I can’t feel my legs.”His eyes widened—just a little—but I caught it. Damien never showed fear. Not even when fighting witches.But he was scared now.“Breathe,” he said, pulling me closer. “Slowly. Just breathe.”“I am breathing,” I snapped weakly, gripping his shirt. “I can’t stop shaking.”He held me tighter. “Your powers woke up too fast. Your body isn’t ready.”A wave of heat rolled through me. It wasn’t norma

    Ariel’pov: “What do you mean something’s coming?” I asked, stepping closer to Damien. He didn’t answer right away. His eyes were fixed on the sky, his jaw tight. “Damien?” He finally looked at me. “The air changed. Do you feel it?” I frowned. “It’s just wind.” “No.” He shook his head. “That’s not wind. That’s magic.” Before I could reply, a sharp sound echoed above us, it's was a loud caw. I looked up. “What was that?” “A raven,” he said quietly. “But not an ordinary one.” The black bird circled once, then landed on the railing beside us. Its eyes glowed faintly red, and tied to its leg was a small scroll sealed with a strange, dark symbol. My heart raced. “Damien, that symbol” He already

    It had been days since the wedding. Days since Lily’s attempt to ruin everything. And yet, I couldn’t shake this strange feeling, like the world itself was holding its breath. My powers had grown stronger. I could feel it each time I closed my eyes, the pull beneath my skin, the whisper that wasn’t quite human. My mother’s presence lingered too, faint but warm, like sunlight breaking through fog. I didn’t understand why it was growing now, but part of me didn’t want to question it. For the first time, I felt alive. I raised my hand, focusing on the energy in my palm. It glowed faintly, weak, unsteady, but real. A small flame flickered into existence, bending to my will. I smiled slightly. “Better,” I whispered to myself. “You’re getting better.” “Not bad,” a familiar voice said behind me, deep and calm. I turned. Damien stood at the edge of the field, hands in his pockets, eyes fixed on me with that unreadable expression that made my heart race. His dark hair was tousled by the w

    Ariel's Pov: A stand. The word was an armor. I could feel the wolf stir behind whatever human part of him stood between me and the world. He who had taken me into his life shouted the thought into the night, and I felt it like a drum. But I also felt something else — a small, hot ember of fear. If the elders came, they would not ask me gentle questions. They would demand that I be explained, categorized, bound. The elders loved their labels and the quiet power of knowing what to do with those who were different. Before we could make any real plan, a knock came on the front door. I held my breath. Each knock sounded like a small explosion. Marcus moved to the door, slow as a man who already knew the answer. He opened it and someone in a dark cloak stepped across the threshold. He removed his hood and the room seemed to lose a color. He was not one of my kind, not in dress or in manner. He wore the mark of the elders — a sigil I had seen in the ledger. His voice was smooth as ol

    Ariel POVThe morning after felt like the world had a different heartbeat. Even the sun seemed to come up with caution, as if it, too, had been warned. I woke with the taste of metal and cedar in my mouth — a memory leftover from Damien’s cologne or from the night’s violence. My head hummed with voices that weren’t my own, with the echo of the powder scattering like flour and with Ethan’s whisper that had crawled under my skin: They buried her with a name that will call the sky.I lay there a long time, watching the light move across the ceiling. A lot of things had happened faster than I could keep up with, and my head wanted to split them into small pieces and handle them one at a time. But pieces didn’t land like that. They landed on you like rain.Damien’s hand tightened around my waist and pulled me closer when he woke. He smelled of sleep and smoke and something dangerous. His voice, when he spoke, was slow. “We have to be smart,” he said. “Marcus found threads. The elders will

    Later, when the house had reinforcements and guards at every door, a soft sound at the back gate caught my ear. I stepped out to the balcony and looked at the road. A car slowed outside. A man got out, looking like any man who belonged in expensive suits — Marcus’s backup. He walked the path and then stopped. He looked toward the garden and then hurried. The man carried a paper envelope. He hesitated and then lifted the flap, as if reading the name. He started to speak — but the words died in his mouth. He staggered back as if something unseen had hit him in the chest. He clutched at his collar and fell to his knees. I rushed down the stairs. The man looked at me with a face that had emptied of something important. “It—” he gasped. “The elders… the elders sent a pulse. Something in the sky. They know.” My blood went still. The city would not be silent for long. The elders had been pinged. They had been warned

    Ariel POV I woke up slowly, the ceiling of Damian’s mansion swimming above me. For a moment, I thought yesterday was a nightmare. Witches. Wolves. Blood. My mind tried to trick me, but then the sharp ache in my stomach reminded me it wasn’t a dream. I remembered the flash of gold eyes. Blue fur.

    Evelyn's Pov: The next morning, Rowan showed up before sunrise, knocking on the cabin door like it owed him money. “Get up,” he said through the wood. “I found something that’ll make the elders choke.” “I don’t want to choke anyone,” I muttered, still half asleep. He laughed. “Not literally. C
