The wolves came in, all surrounding the place, their jaws wide. Ronan met him half way.

There was no God's grace to this, no part to run to.

It was now the devil or hell.

No time to set up a plan, because there was no time to think.

We both gasped in air, breathing in and out.

Right in front of us was the wet, ugly sound of claws, ranking and gnashing their teeth.

    The wolves came in, all surrounding the place, their jaws wide. Ronan met him half way.There was no God's grace to this, no part to run to.It was now the devil or hell. No time to set up a plan, because there was no time to think.We both gasped in air, breathing in and out.Right in front of us was the wet, ugly sound of claws, ranking and gnashing their teeth.Their jaws were sharp enough to crack the wood straight into the middle. Gerrick threw himself backward against the wall, not long later, dragging Corvin with him by the collar. I lost both of them right in the sight of the chaos of bodies filling the room.Aldrick didn't move from the doorway. Too serious to be joking with at this time.He watched us the way a man who stood and gazed at a fire he lit on wood on purpose. Patient, already certain of how all this would go down.“Devlin” Ronan's voice cracked through the noise. “Follow me, the window”There wasn't any time to ask if he was serious.I never planned to dance to

    The smile on Ronan's face vanished, the instant the door swung open."We have one chance," he murmured.The fortress beyond his chambers had settled into the silence that came before dawn. Torches burned along the stone corridors, their flames shinning in the cold draft that drifted through Vael Keep.Devlin tightened the dark servant's cloak around her shoulders."If Corvin refuses to listen?"Ronan's golden eyes met hers."Then we will improvise."Without another word, he reached for her hand.The moment their fingers brushed, the strange pull of the bond warmed her skin.He let go almost immediately."Stay close."They slipped into the corridor like shadows.The castle felt different at night.Empty.Watching.Every distant footstep echoed through the stone halls.Every flickering torch show strange shapes that looked like wolves waiting to pounce.Ronan led her through forgotten servant passages, narrow staircases hidden behind old tapestries, and abandoned storage tunnels that

    Corvin swallowed hard, the sharp tip of the blade leaving a tiny red bead of blood on his throat and repeated, "Wren? His face drained as I lower the letter from his throat and stepped back. He rubbed the small cut with shaky fingers starring at me like I had become a stranger. “Then tell me why Wren keep mentioning dawn?" He asked me his voice cracking. “Because the treaty isn't about peace,it's about ownership.” I said, ”Once those papers are signed Aldric controls the trade route, the mines the boarder gate and every chief who depends on them." Corvin swallowed hard. Uncertainty filled the room which made it feel smaller and colder than before. “Do you think you will be made chief, they will use you until your signature dries and they will discard you.” I continued. Corvin opened his mouth, but no words came out. He closed it and looked away understanding now that I understood his weakness better than anyone else. Wren had support, wealth, promises, legitimacy, everything h

    ​The gravity of what we were about to do settled into the marrow of my bones. I knew Wren would come for us, but that wasn't what kept me up at night. We were defying her; we were literally burning down an alliance that had been the law of the land since before any of us were born.If we failed, by morning would bring our own executions. And If we succeeded, we would be running for our lives anyway.​But I looked into Ronan’s golden eyes, and the fear he had evaporated, now replaced by a cold, sharp focus.​"The diplomat’s quarters are at the apex of the southern wing," he whispered, stepping toward the heavy oak paneling that masked the entrance to the servant tunnels. These narrow stone corridors were built into the very bones of Vael Keep, designed to keep the human staff invisible. Tonight, they were our only salvation. "Aldric assigned three Thorneclaw guards to guard Corvin’s door—supposedly for his 'protection', but the message is very clear, to ensure he doesn't go anywhere

    The moment the door clicked shut, Ronan turned to me, gripping his hands on my shoulders. His eyes were widely open, they were dark with an agonizing mix of fury and fear."Why did you agree to that?" He asked, he whispered harshly. "We could have captured her, and I will just end everything here."​"And then what, Ronan?" I asked, as I couldn't hold myself any longer, a tear finally dropped from my eye. "Aldric would have slaughtered you. The Thorneclaws would have destroyed everything. You know she has my tokens, so she knows what we are to each other."Ronan pulled me closer to his chest, burying his face in my hair. He held me so tightly that I could barely breathe, his heart beating in perfect sync with mine."I don't care about the pack laws, Devlin. All I care about is you. The moment I smelled that human's blood in the hallway, I thought" he paused and breathed out, "I thought I had lost you."I smiled and whispered, "You didn't lose me," I then held tight his leather armor,

    ​Before I could even open my mouth to reply, the heavy iron deadbolt on the door was rattled violently. Obviously someone was trying to get in with force.​Wren stood like a rock. She silently disappeared into the dark with an unnatural speed of a wolf.The crossbow raised once more, hidden from the direct line of sight but perfectly aimed at my chest again. "Open the door" I heard from the dark. "And better choose your words carefully."​I swallowed the lump in my throat, turned, and unlocked the heavy door.It was Ronan. He practically pushed the door open, coming in, he slammed the door so hard. ​He was so much in panic, his jaw was locked, his chest heaving as if he had run across the entire fortress. On his leather collar, there was a little stain of someone else's blood. ​"Devlin," he breathed, his hands instantly coming up to cup my face, desperately looking at me, as if he sensed something was wrong, to ensure I'm safe. "Tell me, are you alright? From the corridor, all

    Our carriage ride to Veal Keep was dark, fast and exhausting. The atmosphere was filled with dread and tension. Despite the long distance of this journey, the king said no words. He was so wrapped in a heavy, moody silence. As if the tensed ride wasn't enough, the moment we casted our eyes on Vea

    Devlin's POVI had been in my room for the past hour angrily packing but no one had bothered coming up to check on me. They were probably still celebrating the news of Mara's new engagement, I thought bitterly. Sounds of mugs clinking together, the local band playing and loud voices congratulatin
