Kael

The forest at the southern border is thick and dark, the kind of place that swallows sound and twists shadows into shapes that stalk you.

Perfect ground for rogues to hide.

And perfect ground for me to hunt.

I move at the head of the war party, my senses sharp, my wolf restless beneath my skin. The air is heavy with the metallic tang of blood and the musk of wild, unclaimed wolves.

Too many scents. Too scattered. This isn’t a simple border skirmish—it’s a test.

    KaelThe moment Elara says we fight, something in me settles.Not peace.Not calm.Decision.For too long, I have been reacting—plugging breaches, sealing tunnels, dragging traitors out of shadows, watching the Witch shape roads with invisible hands.For too long, I have let her believe she is the one writing the map.No more.I leave Elara’s room with her scent clinging to me like an oath and head straight for the war chamber. The corridors are quieter now, but it’s the quiet of held breath, not safety. Guards bow. Servants avert their eyes. The fortress feels the coming storm.Ronin is already inside, leaning over the map with Lucian. The candlelight throws harsh shadows across their faces.They look up as I enter.“I assume you’ve heard Moonhallow whispered enough times to be sick of it,” Ronin says.“I am beyond sick,” I reply coldly.Lucian’s mouth tightens. “The rumor is spreading faster than we can smother it.”“Because it was planted,” I say. “And because hope is more dangerou

    ElaraSometimes I forget who I was.Not because it didn’t matter.But because the person I am now feels like someone I’m still learning how to wear.Kael leaves me with his hands on my face, his voice steady, his promise sharp as steel—I choose you. I choose here. I choose not to step into her light pretending it’s the Goddess.And when the door closes behind him, silence rushes in like water.I stand there for a long moment, staring at the place he was, my fingers still tingling from his touch.Loved.The word still feels strange.Like a language I wasn’t raised to speak.I turn back toward the window, but the sky doesn’t give answers. It only reminds me of distance.Of roads.Of shrines whispered about like salvation.Moonhallow.Hope dressed as a trap.My wolf paces inside me, restless.She is always restless.Because she is new.Because I am new.I press a hand to my chest and close my eyes.For most of my life, there was only emptiness.That was what they called me.Wolfless.Ome

    Kael I hear the name before anyone dares to say it to my face.That is how rumors work inside a fortress.They don’t announce themselves.They seep.They crawl through the cracks in stone, through the mouths of servants and the eyes of guards, through the quiet spaces where fear gathers and people need something—anything—to believe in.Moonhallow.The first time I catch it, it’s a murmur between two sentries сменing the midnight watch.The second time, it’s a healer whispering over herbs as if prayer might make the medicine stronger.By the third time, I know it’s not an accident.Hope does not spread this fast on its own.Hope is planted.I slam the war room door behind me hard enough to make the torches flicker.Ronin looks up instantly.Lucian is already there, expression tight, like he’s been waiting for the storm.“Say it,” I growl.Ronin’s jaw flexes. “You’ve heard.”“Yes,” I snap. “I’ve heard the fortress whispering like a nervous pup. I want to know why.”Lucian exhales. “It

    ElaraThe rumor reaches me the way all dangerous things do.Softly.Not with horns or blades or screaming.With a whisper.I’m sitting in the small solar Kael has allowed me to use for fresh air—fresh air behind wards and guards and stone, but still. A thin slice of sky is visible through the narrow windows, pale and distant like freedom I’m not meant to touch yet.My hands rest over my stomach.The baby is quiet today.But my wolf isn’t.She paces inside me like she can’t settle, ears pricked toward something only she can hear.Listen.“I am,” I murmur.Footsteps approach. Two guards shift automatically, and Lucian steps inside, expression carefully neutral.“Elara,” he greets.“Lucian,” I reply, sitting straighter. “Is something wrong?”He hesitates. That’s answer enough.“You’ve been hearing things,” he says finally.My stomach tightens. “What kind of things.”His gaze flicks toward the guards, then back to me.“Rumors.”I let out a breath that isn’t quite a laugh. “There are alway

    WitchThey think the danger is in the dark.In blades. In breaches. In blood spilled on stone.That is why they will lose.Because the most effective trap is not terror.It is hope.I sit within the spiral of my working, the air around me humming with old power. The Veil is restless tonight—stirring, thinning in places where it has slept for centuries. It remembers royal blood. It remembers the taste of it.And now it can taste Elara.Even from behind Kael’s walls.The assassination failed.Blackwater failed.Garrick was taken.All of it, on the surface, looks like miscalculation.It isn’t.It is calibration.I did not need Elara dead.I did not need her captured yet.I needed to know how tightly Kael would wrap himself around her.The answer?Completely.He has turned his fortress into a cage made of love and fear, and he thinks that makes him strong.It makes him predictable.I close my eyes and let my awareness drift outward.The fortress hums with ward-light. Guards rotate in patt

    ElaraKael doesn’t tell me everything at first.I know him well enough now to see it in the way his shoulders are set too tightly, in the way his hands linger on me like he’s counting proof that I’m still here. His eyes are darker than usual, storm-heavy, and when he holds me, it feels less like comfort and more like anchoring.Like if he lets go, something will tear loose.“Garrick is in chains,” he says quietly.The words should make me feel relief.Instead, they make my stomach twist.Because Garrick in chains doesn’t mean the danger is gone.It means it has sharpened.“He talked,” Kael adds.My hand drifts instinctively to my stomach.“About… the baby?”Kael’s jaw tightens. “Yes.”A cold wave washes through me, as if the room itself has lost warmth.For a moment, I can’t speak.My wolf presses close, wrapping herself around the tiny heartbeat inside me with fierce possessiveness.Mine. Protect.I swallow hard. “What did he say?”Kael hesitates.That hesitation is everything.“He c
