MELVIN'S POV

"Move those tables closer to the west wall."

Selene's voice carried across the Great Hall.

"The visiting Alphas shouldn't have to stand while waiting."

The servants hurried to obey, one nearly dropped a silver tray.

"Careful," Selene said sharply. "If that breaks, your head goes in for it."

"Yes, Luna."

I stood at the entrance, watching the preparations without saying a word. Long tables filled the hall, roasted venison, fresh bread, fruit, honey cakes and barrels of wine.

    Melvin's POVThe darkness didn't make me sleep.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my body still but my mind refused to stay quiet. Nile since a long while stirred beneath my skin, restless, pacing, something was wrong.“West” Nile’s voice echoed, I pushed it away.I pressed my palm against my chest, my heart beat steady beneath my fingers, I felt a pulse I couldn't understand.Nile didn't settle, he hadn't settled in weeks.I sat up and swung my legs over the edge of the bed, the floor was cold beneath my bare feet, dawn hadn't broken yet, the room was still wrapped in shadow, the only light came from the dying embers in the hearth.I reached for my tunic and dressed, my fingers moved sharply, I had done this a thousand times.Then my eyes drifted toward the desk, the physician's report sat there, folded, locked away.I hadn't opened it again, but I remembered every word.“Alpha... there are only two possibilities. Either the Moon Goddess has performed a miracle... or the child La

    Auren's POV "Hold still."The warrior winced as I pressed the cloth against his wound, dark, fresh blood soaked through the linen."This is going to sting."He grunted. "It's already…stinging."I smiled despite the tension. "I promise you won't notice."I reached for the jar of antiseptic. The apprentice beside me handed it over without being asked, she was learning fast."Three drops," I said quietly. "Not more than that or it burns the tissue."She nodded and watched carefully as I applied the mixture. The warrior hissed through his teeth, his hand gripped the edge of the cot."Hold on, I am almost done.""Take your time," he muttered. "I'm not going anywhere."I worked in silence for a moment, from cleaning to dressing and wrapping.Behind me, the Healing Wing buzzed with activity, several warriors had arrived that morning, injuries from the rogue attacks, cuts and bruises, some with one broken arm.I directed apprentices without thinking, assigning herbs, ordering supplies, check

    RONAN'S POV"Captain Edrik recommends reinforcing the southern crossing."Beta Kael's voice cut through the war chamber. I stared at the map spread across the table, markers indicated recent rogue activity, livestock disappearing, two border patrols attacked, survivors describing unusual shadows.I heard the words but my mind went somewhere else, a different voice echoed in my mind, Auren's laugh flashed in front of me, the way she had smiled in the garden."...Alpha?"I blinked. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"Kael paused, his eyes flickered toward me. "Captain Edrik recommends reinforcing the southern crossing."I pressed my palms against the table, the wood was cool beneath my fingers."Ok then, do it."Kael nodded slowly. "I'll assign the rotation immediately."The head scout leaned forward. "The attacks are becoming coordinated, Alpha. This isn't random. Someone is directing them."The border captain added, "We have tracked movement patterns, they are avoiding the main patrol rout

    "You told me he would accept me."My voice was sharp. I stood by the window, my back to Cassien.I heard him settle into the chair behind me, the fabric rustled, he was comfortable and unbothered."He is acting strange Cassien, like he knows something.""Then he's finally thinking like an Alpha."I turned. "Don't mock me."Cassien smiled. "I'm not mocking you, I am spotting the truth."I walked toward him and stpped at the edge of the table between us. My hand pressed against the wood."He looked at me like he didn't know me, like I was a complete stranger.""Did he say anything?""No, that's what scared me."Cassien leaned back, his arms rested on the chair's armrests, relaxed."Silence doesn't mean anything, don't think too deep about it.""You don't know that.""Neither do you."I studied his face, calm, confident in the midst of the storm, I had once found it attractive.Now I found it unsettling."Why won't you tell me what's happening?""I tell you everything you need to know."

    MELVIN"Your pulse is steady, Alpha."Old Yarrow's fingers pressed against my wrist. Her eyes were fixed on the wall behind me, avoiding my face.I sat on the edge of her examination table, the room was small, cramped. Herbs hung from the ceiling in dried bundles, dried flowers filled every shelf. A single window let in pale afternoon light, dust motes floated through the air.I had collapsed during training.I told myself it was exhaustion, even told my Beta the same thing and the guards who rushed to my side."I'm fine," I had said. "I am just tired."Now I sat in Yarrow's chamber, and she hadn't spoken in three full minutes.She walked toward her worktable. Her back turned to me, she picked up a vial, turned it over in her hands and set it down, she picked up another."Your bloodwork suggests otherwise Alpha," she murmured.I frowned. "Suggest what? How do you mean?"She didn't answer, I saw her eyes shift into shock, she busied herself with the vials. Arranging them and rearrangin

    Selene POV"Alpha... you've been here since dawn, aren't you going to take a break?."I stood at the edge of the training grounds, Melvin didn't stop or turn around.His sword crashed against the training post again and again. His movements were harder than necessary, sweat soaked through his tunic, his breathing was ragged.Warriors passing by noticed, they exchanged quiet glances,their Alpha had changed.I waited until he lowered his sword, then I stepped forward.I smiled. "You're still training?"He looked at me, his face was tired and distant."Selene, what do you want?""I came to see you."He nodded. "Thanks for your concern, I will be finished soon.""You said that yesterday."He didn't answer.I walked closer, one hand rested on my stomach."You didn't come to my room again. Why do you keep doing this?"A long silence."There was work," he finally said."There was work yesterday too?" I snapped.Another silence."I don't have the pleasure of time Selene, that's what comes wit
