CHARLOTTE

The path back to the palace seemed endless. Every step I took sent needles of pain shooting through my swollen feet. My legs trembled, and my body screamed for rest, but I couldn’t stop, we still had a long way to go. The relic was pressed tightly against my chest, wrapped in a torn piece of my cloak. I could feel its faint pulse against my skin.

I glanced at Kael and the others walking ahead. Their faces were drawn, shadows of exhaustion etched under their eyes. Lyra trailed beside me, her silent presence grounding me. She caught my gaze for a moment and offered a small, reassuring smile before scribbling on her notepad and showing me:

“Almost there.”

I tried to smile back, though my lips barely moved. “Yeah,” I breathed. “Almost.”

But in truth, the palace still felt like a dream miles away. The sun had begun to set, spilling gold and crimson across the horizon, and the cold air of dusk bit at my skin.

“Let’s rest here,” Kael said finally, stopping near a fallen tree.

    CHARLOTTE The sound of dripping water pulled me out of unconsciousness.At first, I didn’t even know where I was. My mind felt foggy, like someone had stuffed cotton into my skull. My eyelids were heavy, glued shut, but as soon as I pried them open, a sharp jolt of awareness shot through me.Cold water touched my cheek.I jolted upright in shock.The floor beneath me was already flooded. A thin layer of icy water covered the entire dungeon floor, rippling softly every time I moved. My clothes clung to my skin, heavy, soaked through. I pushed myself onto my knees and tried to squeeze the fabric dry, but the water kept dripping from the ceiling in thin, relentless streams.My breath shook out of me. “Goddess… how long was I out?”The dungeon smelled of rust and mold. The air was cold enough to bite my bones. My wrists, scraped raw by chains earlier, throbbed painfully. Every part of me ached.My eyes moved to the steel bars of the dungeon door. Empty. Silent.Liam wasn’t here.My heart

    CHARLOTTE The first thing I felt was the unbearable pain.And then I felt the cold metal biting into my wrists, digging into my skin, pulling my arms upward until my shoulders screamed in pain. My head throbbed, my vision blurry, my throat raw as if I had been screaming before I even woke up.A torch crackled somewhere close, then another, and another, until the heat of flames licked my cheeks.When my vision finally sharpened, I realized exactly where I was. The auction hall.The same hell I had stood in once before… except now it was worse. So much worse.I was upright, chained to a tall metal pillar on a raised platform. And below me were rows and rows of rogue alphas, all gathered like predators at a feast. The hall buzzed with snarls, laughter, the scrape of boots, the clink of gold coins.They weren’t here to buy weapons or supplies. They were here to bid on wolves. And Liam had put me on display just to spite Jeffery.My stomach twisted. A wave of nausea hit me so hard I almos

    ALPHA JEFFREYThe council chamber buzzed with the low rumble of voices long before I entered, each Elder and commander already gathered around the long obsidian table. Maps were spread across its surfaces, every sheet of parchment inked with progress we had fought through blood to achieve.Yet the moment I stepped in, silence snapped through the room like a whip.“All rise for the Alpha King,” Elder Kade announced.My wolf paced beneath my skin, restless, snarling, its claws scraping my insides. It had been like this for days. Weeks. Ever since she disappeared.Charlotte.Even thinking her name made something sharp twist in my chest.I forced my expression into steel and motioned for everyone to sit. “Let’s begin.”Elder Mi re a leaned forward, tapping at the map. “Alpha King, reports from the northern borders show a seventy-nine percent reduction in rogue sightings since you reinforced the eastern patrols. The new warrior units are performing beyond expectation.”General Dax nodded f

    EMMALAINEI hated the stink of the dungeon.It seeped into my clothes, my hair, my skin.But today, it excited me.I balanced the tray of food in one hand as I approached the cell. The guards stepped aside quickly. I might not have been anything in this house, but I was Liam’s right hand now.I reached the cell door.Charlotte heard the footsteps and lifted her head. Her hair was matted, her face hollow from days of starvation, her lips cracked. She looked weak, pathetic, but still unbearably beautiful. Everything about her made the old jealousy coil inside me like a living thing.I smirked and lifted the tray slightly.“Hungry?”Her eyes widened at the food.I didn’t even finish speaking before I grabbed the tray and smashed it against the doorpost, letting the metal clang and echo through the stone corridor.Food scattered everywhere across the floor—bread, meat, a bruised apple.Charlotte lunged for it like a starving animal.I crossed my arms and watched her on her knees, shovelin

    ALPHA JEFFREY The moment Rowan’s messenger burst through the council doors, panting, dirt-streaked, and trembling, a cold weight dropped into my stomach so fast I nearly staggered. I didn’t need to hear the words to know something was off. My wolf pressed hard against my skin, claws dragging at the inside of my ribcage, urging me to rip the truth out of the man before he even spoke.But then he did speak.“Alpha Jeffery you need to know that Charlotte was seen today by my men. She has been taken by Liam and his men and transported into the Dark Rogue Territory.”For a second, all sound inside the hall vanished. The council chamber, usually buzzing with low murmurs and rustling robes, froze. My lungs refused to expand, the world around me contracting into a pinpoint of brutal clarity.Impossible. That land swallowed warriors whole. No maps. No known tunnels. No friendly forces. It was where rogues went to disappear forever, where they dragged bodies no one was meant to find.And they

    CHARLOTTE When I regained consciousness, the first thing I felt was pain, it was hick, throbbing, crawling under my skin like fire being fed into my veins. My wrists burned the most. They had been tied so tightly for so long that I couldn’t feel the edges of the rope anymore; only the raw, wet sting of broken skin pressed against wolfsbane-coated restraints. For a second, I didn’t even remember where I was.Then the smell hit me.Damp stone. Rotting straw. And the smell of blood old clinging to the air like a curse.My breath caught in my throat as my vision adjusted to the dimness. The dungeon walls came into focus, moss creeping through cracks, water dripping in slow, torturous rhythm. I realized then that I was still in Liam’s prison. I wasn’t sure how long I had been unconscious, but judging from the soreness in my limbs, it wasn’t the first time I had blacked out.My throat felt like sandpaper as I whispered, “Jeffrey…?”The name slipped out before I could stop it, instinctive,
