I hadn't caught whatever Celeste had said before this, only saw Orion shut it down fast, his face going hard in the process. Right then, a video came through from Weston. Lily, sitting alone in a room, and inside it, a cage. Inside the cage, a gray wolf that had clearly gone half-mad, throwing itself against the bars over and over, foam gathering at its jaw.
Celeste came apart completely. She begged Orion to get Lily out, over and over, her voice breaking further wit

Elara's POV"Silverwing wants you back kneeling at the pack gates. Twenty-four hours, in front of everyone. That's the atonement Callan's asking for." Weston looked at Celeste. "Do it, and the girl walks free the second the clock runs out."Celeste dropped to her knees, not in front of Weston, but in front of Orion. "I can't go back, Ori. If I go back, Callan will kill us both the second nobody's watching. There's only one way out of this. Marry me. If I'm your Luna, I don't have to go back at all."I could see exactly what she was doing. She wanted Orion to marry her, and she wanted me standing right here to watch it happen, to see with my own eyes how much he cared about Lily, how far he'd go for the two of them.Orion looked at me, hesitant."Do what you want," I told him. "Don't worry about me. We haven't had anything between us for a long time."Lily started crying, straining against the soldier holding her, the wires on her chest shift

Elara's POVHearing Orion say that, I actually felt myself relax a little, tension I hadn't realized I was carrying easing just slightly out of my shoulders. It at least meant Celeste had finally gotten what she wanted, which meant she'd probably leave me alone going forward. I took Samuel's hand and got into his car. We drove toward an abandoned factory somewhere past the edge of the city, out where the streetlights thinned out and the road turned to gravel.On the way, Samuel had his acting beta, Rowan, mobilize a portion of Golden Crown's forces as backup, coordinated with whatever Orion was bringing separately along the same route. He called Orion himself to let him know, keeping the conversation short and businesslike. Orion just mocked him through the phone anyway."That's what incompetent men do, isn't it? Call for backup." Orion's voice was pure contempt down the line. "My Argent could tear his throat out in one bite, no army required, no strategy needed

Inside the cage, a gray wolf that had clearly gone half-mad, throwing itself against the bars over and over, foam gathering at its jaw.Celeste came apart completely. She begged Orion to get Lily out, over and over, her voice breaking further with every repetition.Then she crawled toward me, crying. "Elara. Please. Tell Orion the truth. Do you still love him? I need to hear you actually say it."I had no idea what game she thought she was playing, no idea what that "last road" she'd mentioned earlier even meant. I could only give her the truth as I actually had it. "Of course I don't. I stopped loving him a long time ago." I took Samuel's hand. "I love Samuel. We're getting married soon. So there's no version of this wher

Elara's POVOrion didn't say much, just handed the letter over to Samuel without a word, his face unreadable in the dim hallway light. Celeste, who'd been sitting on the couch downstairs crying, came toward us instead, hollowed out with despair, her steps unsteady, her arms wrapped around herself like she was holding something together by force."Whatever you're angry about, come at me for it," she said, voice thin and shaking. "If you want my treatment patent, take it. All of it. I won't fight you for a single piece of it, I never wanted the credit that badly. But why would you let Sterling get my daughter killed?" Her voice cracked. "Don't tell me this was unintentional. It can't be. Not with everything else that's happened tonight."I had no idea what to do with that, the accusation landing somewhere I couldn't quite process yet. I looked to Orion instead, hoping he could make sense of what I clearly couldn't.He explained. The kidnapper had already ca

Elara's POVThe phone barely rang twice before Orion picked up, opening with sarcasm, no hello, no hesitation. "What, did Golden Crown go bankrupt overnight? Calling to beg for a bailout? Start by explaining to Elara everything you've lied to her about first."Samuel and I exchanged a look, both of us a little worn down by it already. But something in the sleep still thick in Orion's voice caught my attention, a wrongness I couldn't quite name yet, and I felt the first flicker of real dread."Is my father with you?" Samuel asked.Orion sounded genuinely confused, no trace of pretending in it. "Sterling? Why would he be here? He hasn't set foot on White Moon land in months."Both our hearts dropped at once.I took the phone from Samuel. "Then Lily. Is she at White Moon?" I needed to be sure exactly who Sterling had meant.Orion sounded even more thrown. "Where else would she be? Elara, you're not jealous over this, are you? She's just

Elara's POVHowever this all shook out, the whole mess had been resolved about as cleanly as it could have been. Victoria and I both let out a long breath. She suggested a drink to celebrate. I called Samuel, and the three of us ended up at a human bar downtown in Newland.Samuel looked almost out of place sitting there, all sharp lines and quiet authority in a room full of scuffed barstools and neon beer signs.A handful of young women drifted over asking for his number, one after another, bold in the way people get after their second drink. He turned every single one of them down. Each time, he'd wrap an arm around my waist, press a kiss to my cheek, and tell whoever was standing in front of us, "I already have a wife."The fourth time it happened, Victoria snorted into her glass and muttered something about him running a con. By the fifth, I half suspected he'd actually paid these women to walk over, just to give himself an excuse to kiss me in public
