THE ROGUE QUEEN Chapter 26
The next morning, I woke up and saw that Kael was already gone.His bedding was folded neatly, and there was a small note written on a piece of bark beside me: Training with Maya. Eat breakfast. Rest your shoulder. – KI couldn’t help but smile. He was always looking after everyone except himself.Outside, the camp was quiet. Most of the wolves were still asleep after everything we learned yesterday about the Alpha King. Only two guards were awake, watching the area. Everything else was calm.I went to the fire pit, where someone had left a pot of warm porridge. As I ate, Zara walked over. She looked like she hadn’t slept well.“Morning,” she said, dropping down beside me.“Morning.”“You believe it?” she asked. “The whole second bond thing?”Straight to the point. That was Zara.“I don’t know what to believe anymore.” I kept stirring my porridge. “Part of me thinks it’s just a story. Something people hope is true. But another part of me…”“Feels something?” Zara asked.I nodded. “It’

Sunlight came through the cracks of the shelter when I woke up, and Kael was still holding my hand.He had fallen asleep sitting next to me, his head leaning against the wall in a way that would definitely hurt later. But he stayed there all night.The nightmare felt distant now. Less real.I carefully pulled my hand free and sat up, wincing as my injuries ached. My shoulder was healing faster than normal because of my wolf, but it still hurt.Kael woke up, blinking. “Morning.”“Morning. Your neck’s going to be in pain.”He rolled his shoulders and winced. “Worth it. Did you sleep better?”“A little.” I stretched. “Thank you.”“Always.”Before we could say anything else, urgent voices outside made us tense.“—she needs to hear this now—”“She’s resting—”“This can’t wait!”Then Maya’s voice cut through: “What can’t wait?”Kael and I exchanged a look and stepped outsideA wolf I didn’t know stood in the middle of the camp, older, tired, like he’d been running all night. Maya, Lyra, and

I didn’t sleep.How could I, when the faces of the people we lost kept replaying in my mind?Sarah, who taught me how to tie proper knots.Marcus, who joked about teaching me to track animals.The young male whose name I never learned, but whose last cry I would never forget.All dead because of me.“Stop,” my wolf said for the hundredth time. *You didn't kill them. The Council did.*But it didn't feel that way.As dawn fully broke, I gave up on sleep and stepped outside. The camp was quiet, most wolves were resting, recovering, grieving.Near the fire pit, three bodies lay covered in cloth. We'd hold a proper burial ceremony later, when everyone had the strength."You look like hell."I turned to find Lyra approaching with fresh bandages and her medicine kit."I feel worse than I look.""That's hard to believe." she muttered. She pointed to a log. “Sit. I need to clean those wounds.”I sat down, too tired to argue.Lyra worked without speaking at first, removing blood-soaked bandages

Chaos.That’s all I could think at first.My shadows had scattered Garrett’s front line, but they got back up faster than I expected. They were trained fighters. Humans changing into wolves in an instant.Our ambush hit from both sides.Zara came from the left, her blade shining. Two other wolves attacked from the right. Kael stayed close, protecting me while I focused on controlling my shadows.A huge brown wolf lunged at me—My shadows caught it in mid-air and slammed it into a tree. I heard bones break.No hesitation. Just like Maya taught me.Another wolf. Then another.The shadows reacted to every attack, faster than I could think. Crushing. Tearing. Killing.“Good, my wolf purred. This is what we were made to do.”"FALL BACK!" Garrett shouted over the chaos. "Regroup! REGROUP!"His wolves tried to form a circle to defend themselves, but we didn’t let them.Maya ran through their line, her wolf form a fast blur of grey fur and snapping teeth. She took down two wolves before they

I was halfway through morning training when a wolf staggered into the camp, covered in blood, limping, barely awake. He collapsed before he even reached the fire pit.“Healer!” someone shouted.Lyra rushed over immediately, checking his injuries. He had deep claw marks on his chest, an arrow in his shoulder, and bite marks on his leg.“Who is he?” Maya asked, suddenly standing beside me.“Reed,” one of the scouts said. “He went out yesterday to watch the northern pass. He never came back.”Reed’s eyes slowly opened. He grabbed Lyra’s arm with surprising strength. “They’re coming,” he choked out. “Early. Not in few days. Tomorrow.”The whole camp went quiet.“Who’s coming?” Maya asked, kneeling next to him.“Garrett. With all his wolves. Twenty, maybe thirty.” Reed coughed, blood staining his lips. “They know where we are. They’re done waiting.”Maya’s face turned completely serious. “How long until they get here?”“Sunrise. Maybe sooner.” His voice faded. “I tried… tried to lead them

I woke up to Maya standing over me, arms crossed and expression unreadable.“Get up,” she said. “Now.”“Lyra said I needed rest—”“That was yesterday. Today you train.” She walked out, expecting me to follow without question.I looked at Kael. He was already awake, putting on his boots.“She’s serious,” he said. “And she’s right. We don’t have time to rest anymore.”My shoulder hurt. My ribs hurt. Everything hurt. But I stood up and followed them outside.The training area was already busy. Zara and four other wolves stood waiting, all looking serious and focused.“Listen up,” Maya said loudly. “We have few days to turn this group into something strong enough to attack a defended enemy camp. That means we train harder than ever. No breaks. No excuses. No complaints.”She looked straight at me.“Especially you. You’re our hidden weapon. So you need to control your shadows whenever you choose, not only when you’re scared.”“I’m trying—”“Try faster.” She waved to the others. “The rest o
