The children shouldn't have been there. The girl knew it. The Boy knew it too. And yet here they were.

Their mother had warned them never to wander into the deep forest. Yet here they were, standing in the middle of a vast clearing, their tiny figures swallowed by towering trees and the endless shadows of the terrifying rogue forest.

"I'm telling Mom," the girl hissed, gripping her brother’s sleeve as some unfortunate animal raced beside nearly tripping her.

"Scaredy-cat." The boy smirked and shook her off.

He pointed to the ball lying a few feet away, its bright red surface standing out against the grass.

"Beta said he saw it here. It’s fine."

"It’s not fine! Mom said...."

"And the Beta said it was safe." He crossed his arms and glared, daring her to argue. "Who’s right? Mom or him?"

She glared back. With a loud huff, he sprinted forward and grabbed the ball before she could protest. When he returned, triumphant, she huffed back.

"There. Now let’s go."

"Not yet," he said, toss

    Aegis's P.O.VTalia has been talking for twenty-three minutes straight."And then I told him—if you're gonna wear cologne that strong, at least don’t smell like desperation! Right? Right?"I blinked, staring out the car window as trees blurred past. "Mmhmm." She gasped. "You’re not even listening!""I am," I said. Barely.Talia smacked my arm. “Don’t zone out on me, Aegis. This is our last shopping trip together before you become too important to breathe the same air as us common folk.”I chuckled softly. “I’m not that important.”"You’re the King’s Aid,” she said, stretching the words dramatically. “You basically get to yell at guards, look pretty, and solve political murders. It’s hot.” I laughed louder. “That’s not the job description.”“It should be.” She paused. “Do you want me to stop talking?”“No,” I said. I meant it. Her yapping helped me avoid my thoughts.Silence sat with us for a beat. Then she looked out the windshield and whispered, “I’m going to miss you.”My chest tigh

And Noah gave me a look this morning that made me want to throw something. I knew I shouldn’t take it personally.But I did.I stormed into the kitchen, dropped the stack of files I was supposed to sort, and sat heavily at the edge of the bench.Brianna looked up from the pile of vegetables she was washing

    AEGIS'S P.O.V"What in the name of the goddess is happening.”Early this morning, a palace maid knocked and stepped into the guest room. She clutched her apron and bowed quickly.And that was the start of an horrible day."The King requests that you join him for a morning walk, my Lady," she said politely. My eyebrows shot up. “Walk? What, now?” She nodded with a small smile. "I'll get your bath ready. The other maids are coming to help you dress."Before I could protest, she disappeared into the washroom, already running the bath. Two more maids entered with folded clothes and shining hairpins.I backed away. “Nope. No. I can bathe myself. And I’m not wearing that.”“The King instructed us to assist you,” one of them said gently. “He said you’re still healing.”"I’m fine,” I growled. “He knows I’m fine. I’m healed.”They kept working. One untied my robe. Another set the bath oils. One combed my hair. I swatted her hand.“I said I don’t need help.”“You do today,” one of them said wit

    AEGIS'S P.O.V“I’m going to find every last one of you,” I whispered. “And I’ll make you bleed.”My fingers clenched.The first thing I felt when I opened my eyes was hunger. The second was confusion. Again.My skin is smooth. My wounds had healed overnight. There's no scars or any signs that I was ever even hurt.“What the actual hell,” I whispered.I stood up, my bare feet touching the soft rug. Even the clothes I wore were different, clean, comfortable, and royal. Someone had changed me while I was unconscious. I tried not to think about that part too much.I opened the door and stepped into the hallway. It was quiet. Gold walls. Tall windows. Everything was too beautiful for my tired brain to process.A maid walked past with a tray in her hands.“Hey,” I called softly.She turned. “Oh! You’re awake.”I nodded. "Can you show me where the King’s office is?”She smiled politely. “Of course, my Lady. Down this hall, to the left, then second right. There’s a big gold and blue door. You

    AEGIS'S P.O.V"Beta Solice said your car is ready,"Elias told me avoiding my eyes like a boy who broke something expensive. “I’m really sorry, Aegis. I didn’t mean...”“I know.” I cut him off and walked away. I can't be here anymore.Sheila stood near the outside gate. She whispered to her friends, like she won a game I didn’t know we were playing. Her eyes met mine. She didn’t flinch. Just smiled wider.I ignored her and climbed into the car. Placing the phone between my shoulder speaking to Brianna and balancing my tablet on my thigh, I tapped through files."You don't sound good Alpha ," she said, voice tight. "Come back. Please."“I’m fine,” I lied. "Just need to get something from the archives."My fingers stopped moving.Something is wrong. The engine rattled. My stomach twisted.The driver met mine in the rearview mirror. There's a small smirk on his face. Shit.“Are you okay, miss?”“I think...” The steering wheel jerked violently. Tires screamed. The car spun. I screamed. Ev

He handed each of us a copy of the test results without a word.King Damian chanced a look at me. "The soil beneath the playground where the children died had traces of old blood magic. We found the witch’s signature buried in the earth. But the thing is...""What?" The King asked. "Who was it?"He looked scared to give us the name.“The Grey Bone Coven,” he whispered, like it hurt to say it. “They marked the place and mistakenly left a trace spell. It's an Old technique but we found them."He was looking at me ag
