"Well, well. Look what the wind blew in."

I spun around, my hand instinctively moving to my stomach. The voice had come from the shadows near the kitchen entrance, warm and slightly hoarse with age.

An elderly woman stepped into the morning light streaming through the tall windows. She was small and compact, with silver hair braided neatly down her back and eyes the color of storm clouds. Her dress was simple but well-maintained, and she moved with the confident efficiency of someone who'd run a household for decades.

"You must be the healer," she continued, looking me up and down with frank assessment. "Vera Ashwyn. I keep the house around here, or what's left of it."

"Sena Thorne." I studied her weathered face, searching for any trace of fear or resentment. "You were here during..."

"The night everything went to hell?" Vera's mouth quivered upward. "Aye, I was here. Hidden in the root cellar like a coward while my king lost his min

    Sena's POVI woke to the sound of labored breathing and gentle morning light filtering through the forest canopy above us. We were in a small clearing, sheltered by thick trees that provided cover from prying eyes.Kael lay beside me in his human form, naked and unconscious. His chest rose and fell heavily, as if he'd run for miles. Sweat covered his skin despite the cool morning air, and I could see scratches and bruises marking his body.The transformation had taken everything out of him.I sat up carefully, my own body aching from our escape through the forest. My hand instinctively went to my stomach, relieved to feel that our child seemed unaffected by the night's terror.Kael's eyes fluttered open, those familiar dark depths focusing on my face. For a moment, confusion clouded his features, then relief flooded through them."Sena," he breathed, reaching for me with shaking hands. "You're safe. Thank god, you're safe."

    The blue flame flickered and went out entirely, plunging us into darkness.In the sudden blackness, I heard Vera whisper, "They're here."Before I could ask who, the door exploded inward with a thunderous crash. Dark figures poured through the opening, their faces hidden behind masks, weapons gleaming in the faint moonlight that streamed through the small window."Run!" Vera screamed, fire erupting from her hands to illuminate the chaos. "Sena, run now!"I scrambled backward as the stone chamber erupted into violence. Vera's flames lit up the attackers - at least six of them, moving with deadly precision. These weren't common bandits. They moved like trained assassins.Thomas appeared in the doorway, his sword already bloodied. "The back passage!" he shouted to me. "Through the corridor behind you!"I spun around, seeing a narrow opening in the wall I hadn't noticed before. But as I stumbled toward it, more attackers burst throug

    Sena's POVAfter the green-eyed woman left, I waited several minutes before moving to the door. I pressed my ear against the wood, listening for sounds of guards or movement outside. When I heard nothing, I tried the handle again, pushing and pulling with all my strength.Nothing. The door was solidly locked.I moved to the small window high on the wall. Even standing on the single chair, I could barely reach it. The opening was too narrow for even a child to squeeze through, and beyond it I could see only darkness and what looked like dense forest.My heart sank as I realized how trapped I truly was. But I had to try something.I examined every inch of the stone chamber, looking for loose stones, hidden passages, anything that might offer an escape route. The walls were solid, the floor was even stone, and there were no other doors or openings.After twenty minutes of searching, I had to admit defeat. Even if I could find a way

    "Our solution is to give you information you need to make an informed choice. Right now, you only know what Callister has told you. You don't know who's really behind these accusations or why they want you gone."I stood up again, this time steadier on my feet. "I want to see Kael.""That's not possible yet.""Then I want to leave.""Also not possible."I walked to the door and tried the handle. It didn't budge."You're holding us against our will," I said flatly."Temporarily, yes.""That's kidnapping.""Call it what you want. We're trying to save your lives."I turned to face her, anger overriding my fear. "By doing exactly what you claim our enemies are doing - taking away our choices and forcing us to comply with your demands."She had the grace to look uncomfortable. "I know how this looks.""It looks like you're no different from Callister and his Alliance.""We

    Sena's POVI woke to unfamiliar sounds and smells that immediately set me on edge. Instead of the crackling fire and warm voices I remembered from before falling asleep, I heard only silence and the distant sound of water dripping somewhere in the darkness.My eyes opened slowly, expecting to see Kael's face beside me. Instead, I found myself staring at rough stone walls lit by a single flickering candle on a small table across the room.This wasn't the cozy hut where I had collapsed."Kael?" I called softly, sitting up carefully. My head spun slightly, but the terrible exhaustion from before was gone. I felt weak but clearheaded for the first time in days.No answer.I was lying on a narrow bed in what appeared to be a small stone chamber. There was a wooden door on one wall, a tiny window high up that showed only darkness outside, and basic furniture that looked well-used but clean."Kael!" I called louder, real fear creeping into my voice.The door opened almost immediately, and th

    Kael's POV"Let me help her," the green-eyed woman said, stepping forward with concern.I carried Sena into the hut, surprised by how clean and well-kept it was inside. The elderly woman quickly prepared a bed near the fireplace while the green-eyed woman gathered clothes and water."Here, lay her down carefully," the older woman said, smoothing blankets over a narrow cot.I settled Sena gently, worried by how still she remained. Her face was pale, and she felt too warm against my hands."She has a fever," I said."That's normal when someone is this worn out," the green-eyed woman replied, checking Sena's pulse. "May I?"I nodded reluctantly. She began cooling Sena's face with damp cloths while the man started something at a small stove in the corner."Has she been sick like this before?" she asked."Yes, some days ago. She's been nauseous.""Early pregnancy can be hard. Her body is working ext
