LOGINLevante, She recovered faster than any of us expected. Within a week the healers agreed she was strong enough to leave the medical wing and return home. The moment we stepped back into our own rooms she stood still for a long time, simply looking around as if she needed to confirm that everything was still real. I stayed close behind her, ready to steady her if she needed it, but she only reached back and took my hand. The days that followed were filled with quiet family visits. Martin and Silvan met properly for the first time. There was no tension between them. Martin, true to his word, promised to help Silvan return to the Moon Servant Pack as soon as the arrangements could be made. Silvan never once asked Serenity to acknowledge him as her father. He seemed to understand exactly who she was and how deeply she loved the man who had raised her. I respected him for that silence more than I could say. My mother’s punishment was changed. She was moved to the most notorious cell in
Levante,Serenity slept for another two hours after she first woke. I stayed in the chair beside the bed, her hand resting loosely in mine, and watched the slow, even rise of her chest. The color in her face had deepened a little more. Every so often her fingers would curl weakly around mine, as if even in sleep she was making sure I was still there.When her eyes opened again, they were clearer than before. She blinked at the soft afternoon light, then turned her head on the pillow until she found me.“You’re still here.”“I told you I would be.”A small, tired smile touched her lips. Before either of us could say more, the door opened quietly. Lunaria stepped in first, carrying a simple glass vase filled with pale white and soft pink flowers. Behind her came Dad, then Martin, and two of the older aunts who had been waiting in the corridor. Each of them held flowers of their own—small, carefully chosen bundles that would not overwhelm the room with scent.Lunaria’s eyes shone the mom
Levante, I stayed where I was, one hand carefully wrapping around hers, the other resting lightly against the edge of the mattress so I would not crowd her. The monitors continued their steady rhythm, calmer than they had been in days. Her breathing was even. The faint color that had returned to her cheeks the day before looked stronger now under the soft light of the recovery room. Minutes passed. Lunaria quietly stepped back to give us space, though she did not leave the room. I kept my eyes on Serenity’s face, afraid that if I looked away the small smile might disappear. Then her lashes fluttered. Once. Twice. Her eyes opened slowly, heavy and unfocused at first. She blinked against the light, and her gaze drifted until it found mine. For a moment she only stared, as if she needed time to remember where she was. Then her fingers moved weakly inside my hand. “Levante…” The sound of my name in her voice, hoarse, quiet, but real, hit me harder than any blow I had taken in
Levante, “These people… they were all my close and loyal friends. Did they really plan to assassinate us?” Dad’s voice cracked on the last word, though he kept his face carefully controlled. He was the Great Lycan King. In front of betrayal he never allowed true emotion to show. Still, the painful realization hit me hard enough that my own chest tightened. Those men had stood beside him for decades. They had helped him rule the kingdom with what everyone believed was loyalty and trust. Now he was forced to accept that the same people he had called friends had planned to wipe out the entire royal family. Even he could not fully trust what his eyes were seeing on the reports spread across the table. “Get my order,” he said at last. “Arrest every single person involved and handle them accordingly. It seems I placed too much trust in them.” “As you command,” I answered, then turned toward the ICU doors. Serenity’s condition had improved since the antidote entered her system, but the
Levante,Xavier’s call came less than forty minutes after I returned to the medical wing. Martin still stood near the ICU doors, arms crossed, jaw locked. Ivan remained a quiet presence against the wall. The moment my phone vibrated I stepped away from them and answered.“We have him,” Xavier said. “He tried to leave the city through a private airstrip under a false name. We intercepted the vehicle on the service road. He’s uninjured and being brought to the lower facility now.”“How long?”“Twelve minutes.”I ended the call and turned back to the others. “Sean is in custody. I’m going down. Stay here. The moment anything changes with Serenity, call me.”Martin’s eyes narrowed. “Bring the antidote back. Nothing else matters.”I gave a short nod and left.The corridors of the palace felt narrower than usual. Every step carried the weight of the messages I had read earlier and the image of Serenity’s pale face under the oxygen mask. The cold focus that had settled over me during the fir
Levante, She struggled hard in my grip. Her legs kicked upward in a desperate attempt to break free. I slammed her back against the concrete floor and crouched over her, one knee pressing her shoulder down so she could not rise again. “You still have the guts to lie.” “I am not lying!” she cried out, voice cracking. “It is Sean Swanblood. If you do not believe me, check my phone. Gamma Xavier already took my things.” I turned my head toward the corner of the room. Xavier stood there in silence, expression unreadable. The moment the name left her mouth he stepped forward and held out a clear evidence bag. “I have not checked anything,” he said. “You instructed us not to touch her belongings.” I nodded once and took the bag. Inside lay a standard black phone, the screen still unlocked from earlier handling. I pulled it free and held it out to her. “Unlock it.” Her hands shook so badly she nearly dropped it. She pressed her thumb to the sensor. The screen lit up. I took the devic
Serenity, As soon as Nolan left with his friends, barely moving on his feet, my Wolf howled in my head in pain. The crushing blow felt like a tidal wave hitting my chest, firing straight across my heart. My knees almost buckled underneath me. I grabbed the edge of the kitchen counter to steady my
