THE ROGUE QUEEN Chapter 28
The day before the fortress mission began with Kael acting strange.He'd been distant at breakfast, he barely spoke and seemed lost in thought. When I asked if he was okay, he just nodded and walked away.Now, at the training ground, he stood on the opposite side from me while Maya went over the final instructions."Something's wrong with Kael," I whispered to Zara.She glanced over at him, then back at me with an odd expression. "You really don't see it, do you?""See what?""Never mind." She shook her head. "Focus. Maya's talking."Maya explained today’s plan: one last full practice of the fortress mission. Every step, every backup plan, no breaks until we did it perfectly.“Selene, you’re with Ash on the approach,” Maya said. “Kael, you’re with Lyra as backup.”I noticed Kael's jaw tighten, but he said nothing.We spent the morning running the scenario over and over. By the tenth run, it went smoothly—in, gather information, out. No mistakes.“Good,” Maya said. “Take an hour to eat

Training started with drills meant to wear us out.Maya made us run through the forest at dawn. We carried full packs and weapons, moving fast but quietly. The goal was to build our strength for the fortress mission and to learn how to move together as a team.I tripped over a tree root for the third time, but Ash grabbed my arm before I hit the ground.“Focus,” he whispered. “Step where I step. Follow my exact path.”I nodded and tried to copy his movements. Ash was amazing at this. He moved through the forest silently, like he barely touched the ground. Every step was planned. Every branch avoided.Behind me, Kael moved just as smoothly, even though his leg was still healing. Lyra and Maya followed behind us, both looking way too comfortable with the harsh pace.We ran for two full hours before Maya finally told us to stop.I leaned against a tree, breathing hard, my legs burning.“That was awful,” I said between breaths.“That was acceptable,” Maya replied. “We’ll do it again tomor

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
