Lucas’s POV

“Mia… what is this?”

Clara stood in the doorway, dirt-streaked, trembling. Two rogues flanked her, their weapons drawn but uncertain because the sight in front of them seemed untrue.

They were emaciated, bruised, and their rogue scent clung around them which should have awakened the part of me that ruled through fear and cruelty. But it didn’t.

All I saw was the disbelief on their faces.

They had come to rescue her… only to find her in my arms which had shook them beyond words.

Rose. My Rose. This was never part of my plan but a minute ago, I thought I had lost her after sensing Drake in this room.

I was quick to come here but wouldn’t have been able to save her if she hadn’t shifted. It might have come late but I just realized I was in love with Rose.

The firelight behind me painted her skin gold, and even with blood smeared across her shoulder, she looked like everything the gods could never have given me.

I felt her hand tighten on mine, trembling slightly, as if she

    “Say that again.”Lucas didn’t raise his voice, but the stillness around him was worse than a shout. The guards on the wall had gone rigid, hands tightening on spears, eyes fixed on the lone rider beyond the gate.The man swallowed, then repeated himself, slower this time. “The demon king sends his regards. He says… time is running out.”I felt it immediately.Not fear. Not pain.Pressure.Like something heavy settling just behind my ribs, testing the strength of bone and breath. My hand moved instinctively to my stomach. The baby shifted once, sharp and alert.Jake leaned over the parapet, voice cold. “You came alone to deliver that? Brave. Or stupid.”The rider lifted his chin. “I came because I was told you would listen.”Lucas’s fingers tightened around mine. “You have one chance to speak clearly before I decide you don’t leave this place alive.”The rider nodded. “The curse is accelerating. Not in the way you expect. It’s no longer feeding only on the Alpha.”My heart skipped.“Y

    “Clear the yard,” Lucas ordered.His voice cut through the murmurs that had started to swell like a tide unsure whether to crash or pull back. Guards moved immediately, forming a loose ring, guiding wolves and rogues away without panic, without force. That alone told me how far we’d come. Months ago, this would have ended in blood.Mara stood rigid, her jaw locked. Lila trembled openly now, one hand pressed to her forearm where the faint marks had already begun to fade. The curse had tested them and withdrawn, like a predator disappointed by the taste.Lucas stepped closer to me, his presence steady at my side. “You felt it before they spoke.”“Yes,” I said. “It reacted to intent, not words.”Jake came up on my other side, eyes sharp. “So it’s not just blood. It’s motive.”“Exactly,” I said. “It doesn’t care who they are. It cares what they’re trying to hide.”Kieran watched from a few steps back, his expression unreadable. “That makes it harder to fight.”“No,” I said quietly. “It ma

    “Say it again.”Lucas stood in front of me, hands braced on the table, shoulders rigid. He hadn’t moved since I finished reading the message aloud. Not a muscle. Not a breath I could see.Kieran was the one who spoke. “The curse has shifted strategy.”Jake scoffed. “That’s not an explanation. That’s a threat dressed up as wisdom.”“It’s both,” Kieran replied evenly. “And you already know that.”I folded the parchment carefully, as if the words might bleed through my fingers if I didn’t. “It’s not attacking because it doesn’t need to,” I said. “It thinks it has time.”Lucas turned to me sharply. “You are not a clock it can wait out.”I met his gaze. “It thinks you are.”Silence fell again, heavier this time.Jake dragged a hand down his face. “Then we stop waiting. We hunt it down. Lila, Mara, Drake, demons, spirits, I don’t care. We burn every path it could crawl through.”“And kill Rose’s sisters in the process?” Kieran asked.Jake stiffened. “If they’re vessels—”“They’re bait,” I c

    “Get the healers. Now.”My voice came out harder than I felt, sharp enough to cut through the stunned silence that still clung to the clearing. Wolves finally moved. Jake barked orders. Guards fanned out, weapons half-raised, eyes darting as if the ground itself might open again.I didn’t let go of Rose.She swayed in my arms, her breath shallow, one hand locked around my wrist like I was the only solid thing left in the world. I could feel her heartbeat racing through the bond, frantic but alive. The baby stirred once, then again, a faint reassurance that nearly dropped me to my knees.“She’s bleeding,” Clara said, already kneeling at Rose’s other side. Her hands were steady, efficient, nothing like the girl I’d dragged from the mines months ago. “Not badly. But she needs rest.”“I’m fine,” Rose murmured, though her eyelids fluttered dangerously. “Lucas… did it stop?”I lowered my forehead to hers. “For now.”The words tasted like ash.Behind us, the earth was whole again, the fissur

    I stepped closer, taking his hands in mine. They were warm, solid. Real. “That place is where the lie about me was born. If the curse is feeding on blood and guilt, then that’s where it learned to breathe.”His jaw tightened. “And if it tries to take you again?”“Then it will have to face me awake,” I said. “Not bleeding. Not kneeling.”Jake cleared his throat. “Scouts are ready. Clara and Ben are already ahead, securing the perimeter. No one gets close without us knowing.”Lucas glanced at him. “And my… guests?”Jake’s mouth flattened. “Mara and Lila are being escorted. They don’t know the full destination. Only that Rose requested their presence.”I felt something cold settle in my stomach. “They won’t be surprised.”Lucas’s grip tightened. “If this is a trap—”“Then they built it long before they wrote that letter,” I said. “And I won’t pretend otherwise.”Kieran appeared at the end of the corridor, his expression unreadable as always. “The timing aligns,” he said. “The moon will b

    “What kind of trade?”Jake’s question echoed the one burning in my chest.I didn’t answer immediately. The chamber still smelled wrong, like cold iron after lightning. Whatever had spoken to me wasn’t gone. It had only stepped back.“It didn’t say the terms,” I said finally. “Only that I have to bring the price.”Ben let out a humorless laugh. “That’s convenient. Demons always do that. They let you imagine the worst so you break yourself before they even ask.”Clara folded her arms. “But you already know what it wants, don’t you?”I met her eyes. There was no point lying to people who had bled beside me. “It wants leverage. Something bound to Lucas. Something bound to me. Something ancient enough to rewrite rules.”Jake’s jaw tightened. “The child.”“No,” I said sharply, too sharply. The baby stirred beneath my palm, a small kick that steadied me. “Not him. Not directly.”“Then what?” Ben asked.I took a breath. “My bloodline.”Silence fell heavy.Clara was the first to speak. “Your s
