Nolan felt the words hit him like a physical blow.

His wife was dead. She had died during those three weeks. Something had brought her back but she had been dead.

"I don't understand," he said, his voice sounding strange and far away even to his own ears. "What are you talking about?"

The healer's expression was grave and serious.

"There is a bird," she said quietly, glancing around to make sure no one else was listening. "A bird that only appears when one of the Lycan kings is close to death.

    Gianna sat quietly beside Nolan as he laid out the full scope of the healer’s and Elias’s crimes before the assembled council members, his voice carrying the weight of everything they had endured over these past weeks. The elders listened with grave expressions, murmuring among themselves as the details unfolded, the deception, the manipulation, the attack on Gianna and their unborn child. When Nolan finished, the eldest among them, a silver-haired man who had served the council longer than any other member present, spoke first. “Their offense is punishable under pack law,” he said slowly, his tone carrying the careful deliberation of someone accustomed to weighing consequences. “That much is clear. But Your Majesty, we must consider practical matters as well. Both of them serve the moon goddess in their capacity as healer and librarian. If she dies, who takes her place? Neither of them has a child to inherit her position. We would be left without a healer entirely.” Nolan’s jaw t

    Gianna pulled back slightly, wiping at her own tears while offering Nolan a teasing smile. “You’re such a big baby,” she said, though her voice carried nothing but affection. “Missing your parents, getting all emotional over a grave visit.”“I’m allowed to miss them,” Nolan protested, though a small smile tugged at his lips despite the lingering wetness in his eyes.“You are,” she agreed, squeezing his hand. “And speaking of which, I want to visit my mother’s grave too.”Nolan nodded immediately, understanding without needing further explanation, and helped her back into the carriage, directing the driver toward the smaller, quieter burial ground where those without royal blood were laid to rest.When they arrived, Nolan gave her space, remaining a respectful distance away as she approached the simple headstone marking her mother’s resting place, the modest carving offering none of the elaborate detail that had adorned Nolan’s mother’s grave, though it held no less significance for th

    After their kitchen moment finally settled, Nolan helped her back toward their chambers, his hand steady beneath her elbow as they navigated the corridors. He assisted her with her bath, his movements gentle and unhurried, taking his time washing her hair before helping her from the water, wrapping her carefully in warm towels.Once he’d cleaned himself up as well, joining her in their room, he moved toward the wardrobe with a purposeful air.“Wear something simple,” he said, glancing over his shoulder at her. “I want to take you somewhere special today.”Curiosity sparked immediately, though she didn’t press him for details, trusting whatever surprise he had planned. She selected a light floral dress, comfortable enough to accommodate her growing belly, and once dressed, she followed him out to the waiting carriage.The journey passed pleasantly enough, Nolan pointing out various landmarks along the way, his mood carrying an easy warmth that made the ride enjoyable despite the myster

    After their passionate moment finally settled into something quieter, Gianna curled against Nolan’s chest, her fingers idly tracing patterns across his skin as their breathing slowed into a shared, contented rhythm.“Thank you,” she said softly, “for standing up for me tonight. For not hiding what I am, even knowing it might complicate things.”Nolan pressed a kiss into her hair, his arms tightening around her. “I will always stand for you,” he said. “I won’t ever watch you be bullied or diminished, Gianna. Not by council members, not by frightened crowds, not by anyone. That’s a promise I intend to keep for the rest of my life.”She smiled against his chest, warmth spreading through her at his words, and eventually sleep claimed them both, deep and untroubled for the first time in what felt like ages.Gianna woke early the next morning, well before Nolan stirred beside her, and she slipped quietly from the bed, careful not to wake him as she made her way toward the kitchen. The maids

    Gianna braced herself, expecting Nolan to soften the moment, to offer some diplomatic reassurance that would smooth over the murmurs of doubt spreading through the crowd. Instead, his shoulders squared, his chin lifted, and when he spoke again, his voice carried an authority that silenced the room instantly.“Yes,” he said, the single word ringing out clear and unapologetic. “You’re right. I would not have considered reintegrating your people into this society if not for my wife.”Gianna’s breath caught. This wasn’t the direction she’d anticipated at all.“She is the one who fought for your freedom,” Nolan continued, his gaze sweeping across the crowd with unwavering conviction. “I did not know, until she showed me, just how many of you remained, hidden away, surviving in fear generation after generation. I did not understand the scope of the injustice my own bloodline helped perpetuate until she forced me to see it clearly.”He turned slightly, his hand still resting against her back

    Over the following weeks, Nolan watched with growing astonishment as the number of Faes emerging from hiding continued to swell, far beyond anything he had anticipated when he'd first drafted the bill. Families who had lived in isolated pockets throughout the surrounding territories for generations, individuals who had disguised themselves so thoroughly that even their closest neighbors had never suspected the truth, began arriving in steady streams, until their combined numbers were enough to fill an entire village on their own.He hadn't imagined there could be so many. He had believed, as most did, that centuries of persecution had all but wiped them from existence entirely, leaving only scattered survivors clinging to secrecy in the shadows. To see them now, gathering openly, cautiously hopeful, filled him with a pride he hadn't expected to feel so deeply.Through Gianna, these people, who had lost nearly everything, hope included, were finally finding their purpose again.He deci

    Gianna turned around slowly.Nolan was still standing by the window, his expression unreadable in the firelight."You found him," she said."I did.""Who was it?""A council member named Broderick. He holds a seat in the lower chamber and oversees trade regulations for the outer markets."Gianna fr

    Gianna stood perfectly still, studying his face.He was only agreeing because he needed her blood and he was desperate.The moment the transfer was done, he'd go back to making decisions without her but something in his eyes looked genuine.She decided to trust him one more time.Just once more.Sh

    Cyrus followed Gianna to her room."I'm coming with you," he said.Gianna opened her wardrobe and started pulling out dresses. "No, you're not.""It's improper for a married woman to have dinner alone with the King. I'm your husband. I should be there."She held up a dark green gown, examining it.

    Gianna dressed quickly, pulling on a dark cloak that would help her blend into the night.She was halfway down the stairs when Cyrus appeared.He stood at the bottom, watching her descend with narrowed eyes."You're in a hurry," he said.Gianna kept walking."I asked you a question." He stepped int
