He was quiet, thin, and always carried a book or a notebook in his hands. He closed the door quietly behind him and walked over to the desk.

"The elders are arriving at the council hall, Kael," Lucan said softly, his voice calm and even. "Garrick is with them. He looks very pleased with himself this morning."

Kael let out a dark, bitter grunt. "Garrick always looks pleased when he thinks he owns us. What are the elders saying?"

"They are worried about father's health, but they are more worried

  • The Four Princes and The Rejected Luna   Chapter 23

    He wanted to tell her the truth. He wanted to scream at her that he was acting like a monster because he was terrified of losing her. He wanted to tell her that his brothers were dangerous competitors who would use her to destroy him, that Garrick would kill her in a second if he realized Kael loved her, and that every mean word he spoke was just a desperate attempt to protect her from a brutal world that wanted her dead.But he couldn't say any of it. He couldn't show her his weakness. He couldn't drop his heavy mask.Kael slowly pulled his hand back from the door. He took two steps away from her, his chest heaving, his face turning back into a cold, emotionless wall of stone."Go back to your room, Seraphina," he said quietly, his voice completely flat, stripped of all emotion. "There will be four guards standing outside your door from now on. You will not leave that room again until I give you permission."Seraphina didn't say another word. She gave him one last, burning look of p

    Before she could step back, Kael reached out, grabbed her firmly by the upper arm, and yanked her into his private study. He slammed the heavy oak door shut behind them, throwing the iron bolt into place with a loud, sharp clack.The room was instantly plunged into a quiet, heavy darkness. Kael didn't let go of her arm. He pulled her flush against his chest, his large, warm hands flying up to grab her face. He cupped her cheeks roughly, tilting her head back to inspect every inch of her skin, her neck, and her arms. His breathing was so fast and loud it sounded like he had just run ten miles up a mountain."Where were you?!" he shouted right into her face, his thumb pressing hard against her jawline. "Are you hurt?! Did someone touch you?! Speak to me, Seraphina! Tell me what happened!"Seraphina was so shocked by his sudden physical force that she couldn't speak for a moment. She looked up at him, feeling the intense heat radiating off his body, feeling the hard, wild pounding of his

    The heavy wooden doors of the council hall slammed shut with a loud bang that echoed through the long, quiet stone corridors. The long, exhausting morning meeting with the pack elders and Garrick was finally over, but Kael was far from happy.Garrick had spent three full hours talking about money, trade lines, and the silver mines. He had made it very clear to every elder in the room that if Kael did not announce his engagement to Aurora before the official coronation next week, the supply trucks would stop running, and the pack bank accounts would be frozen. The elders were terrified of going broke, so they had spent the entire morning begging Kael to agree to Garrick’s terms.Kael’s jaw was clenched so tightly that his teeth hurt. His eyes were dark with anger, and his inner wolf was clawing at his chest, desperate to break free and rip Garrick’s throat out. He hated being backed into a corner. He hated pretending to be a loyal puppet for a rich merchant who cared about nothing but

    "He looks like he wants to chop off Garrick's head," Lucan said honestly, a small, rare smirk touching his lips. He flipped open his notebook and began drawing a quick sketch of the willow tree across the river. "But he can't. We need Garrick's silver mines to buy food for the lower pack families before the snow starts. Kael has to play the part of the perfect future Alpha, even if it means putting up with Aurora's nonsense."Seraphina picked up a small, smooth pebble from the bank and tossed it into the water. It made a soft plop sound and disappeared. "Is that why he is keeping me locked away? Because of Garrick's money?"Lucan stopped drawing for a second. He looked at Seraphina, his dark eyes very serious but not unkind. "Kael is a lot of things, Seraphina. He is stubborn, he is cold, and he can be very mean. But he isn't stupid. He knows that if Jaxon or Killian try to use you to get the crown, the pack will split into a civil war. He is trying to keep the peace.""By treating me

    The lunch hour came and went, but nobody came to check on Seraphina. The private wing of the Alpha heir was totally quiet. Kael was still away at the big council meeting with the pack elders and Aurora’s rich father, Garrick.Seraphina stood by her bedroom window, watching the clouds move slowly across the blue sky. The four walls of her room felt smaller and smaller by the minute. She could still smell Kael’s scent of pine wood and heavy rain on the sheets and the curtains. It was a nice smell, but right now, it just reminded her that she was living under his strict rules."I am not a prisoner," she said to herself, her voice small but firm in the quiet room. "Kael said I cannot wander the palace corridors alone. He didn't say I couldn't go outside for a walk."She looked down at her plain blue dress. It was simple and comfortable. She did not want to call the two big guards standing out in the main hallway. If she told them she wanted to go out, they would probably radio Kael, and K

What are the elders saying?""They are worried about father's health, but they are more worried about the money," Lucan replied, looking straight into his older brother's eyes. "Garrick is pushing them hard today. He is making it very clear that his financial support depends on your marriage to Aurora. He wants the engagement officially announced before the coronation ceremony next week."Kael slammed his fist down on the wooden desk, making the ink inkwells rattle. "I will not be bullied by a greedy merchant, Lucan! I am the Alpha heir!""You are," Lucan said, his voice remaining totally
