Mira's POV

I lost track of how many hands I held that night, how many fevers I felt cool beneath my palms, how many parents wept with relief as their children's breathing steadied under my touch.

The work consumed me completely, the way it always did once I began, each patient pulling my attention entirely away from anything beyond the immediate task of easing their suffering. I moved from cot to cot, Maren directing me toward whoever needed help most urgently, and somewhere around midnight I n

    Rowan's POVMira found me in my study within minutes of discovering the note, breathless and pale, and I understood immediately, reading through the message she extended toward me, exactly how significant this new evidence actually represented."There's an accelerated timeline," I said quietly, working through the implications. "And someone believes the Moon Court's council might intervene before they finish whatever they're planning.""We need to find whoever left this," Mira said. "Immediately."I agreed entirely, and within the hour, Elias had organized a careful, discreet watch over the archive itself, understanding that whoever had left this particular message would likely return eventually, either to retrieve additional communication or leave further instructions for their unseen contact.We did not have to wait long.Two nights later, Elias found me in my quarters well past midnight, his expression tight with barely restrained urgency."Someone's in the archive," he said. "Righ

    Mira's POVWord of the Ashwood resolution spread through Blackwood faster than I expected, and within days I noticed something shifting in how people approached me, considerably different from the careful deference or quiet resentment I had grown accustomed to since the Luna rumor first began circulating.This felt like genuine trust, earned rather than assumed.Two more disputes found their way to me over the following week, smaller matters that Rowan, occupied with the ongoing investigation into who had taken Elara's portrait, could not always personally attend. A disagreement between two young warriors over training equipment. A misunderstanding between household staff about scheduling that had grown considerably more heated than the actual issue warranted.I handled each one the same way I had approached the Ashwood dispute, listening carefully before offering anything, and found, with each successful resolution, my own confidence growing steadier, considerably less uncertain abou

    Rowan's POVThe border matter proved less urgent than the initial message had suggested, a minor territorial dispute resolved within a single afternoon of careful negotiation, and I found myself riding back toward Blackwood considerably sooner than I had originally anticipated.Elias met me at the stables, his expression carrying the particular satisfied look I recognized whenever he had genuinely enjoyed watching something unfold well."How did the Ashwood matter go?" I asked, dismounting."Better than expected." He fell into step beside me as we walked toward the pack house. "Mira handled it."I stopped walking. "She handled it?""Not officially. She observed, exactly as you instructed. But somewhere along the way, she started asking questions neither party had properly considered, and by the time we left, Thane and Sela had walked the entire boundary together and agreed on a new arrangement without either of them feeling like they'd lost the argument."Something warm settled in my

    Mira's POVRowan was called away suddenly one afternoon, a message arriving from the northern border demanding his immediate, personal attention, and I found myself standing in his study doorway as he gathered his things hurriedly, a considerable list of unresolved matters still waiting for his return."There's a disagreement between two wolf families," he said, pulling on his coat. "Normally I'd handle it myself, but the border situation can't wait.""What kind of disagreement?""Property lines, mostly. The Ashwood family claims the Renner family's expanded fencing has encroached on shared grazing land." He paused, considering something carefully. "I want you to go with Elias."I blinked, surprised by the request."To solve it?""No." Something deliberate settled into his expression. "To observe. I don't want you making the final decision, not without proper standing to enforce it. But I want your perspective on how the situation actually unfolds, considerably more valuable than any

    Rowan's POVMira's strategy proved considerably more effective than either of us anticipated, though the results arrived from a direction neither of us had properly considered.I noticed it first during a routine inspection of the eastern storerooms, one of the younger servants, a girl named Callie who had worked within the household for perhaps two years, growing visibly nervous whenever conversation drifted toward Elara's continued absence. She was careful about it, quick to compose herself whenever she noticed my attention, though the particular tension in her shoulders whenever the topic arose remained unmistakable to anyone properly watching for it.I did not confront her directly, mindful of Mira's own caution about assuming hostile intent too quickly.Instead, I mentioned the observation carefully to Elias, who agreed to watch Callie's movements more closely without drawing obvious suspicion, and within two days, he reported something considerably more unsettling than simple ne

    Mira's POVWe spent the following evening working through the problem together, spread across Rowan's study with a rough list of household staff and warriors who could plausibly have accessed that corridor undetected."Petra's been with the household longer than almost anyone," Rowan said, crossing another name off the growing list with obvious reluctance. "But she's also one of the few people who genuinely doesn't fit the timeline. She was with Maren the entire morning and the portrait disappeared.""What about Garrick?" I asked, thinking of the warrior whose earlier concerns about the Luna rumor had lingered uncomfortably in my thoughts these past weeks.Rowan considered that seriously, something careful in his expression rather than immediate dismissal."He has access," he admitted. "And genuine reservations about your standing here. But motive isn't the same as guilt, and I've known him long enough to trust his loyalty regardless of whatever tradition he's still working through."
