The walk to the council chambers feels both too long and too short. My feet know the path by heart—down the grand staircase, through the portrait gallery where paintings of my ancestors watch with knowing eyes, past the great hall where morning light streams through stained glass windows depicting our kingdom's history.

I pause outside the chamber doors, taking a steadying breath. Through the thick wood, I can hear Alexander's voice discussing patrol routes, Kieran adding insights about the healing centers' security needs, and underneath it all, Dominic's deeper tones offering tactical assessments.

The sound of his voice alone is enough to make my magical abilities flicker to life, responding to emotions I'm not supposed to feel. I press my hand against the silver pendant, using it as an anchor to maintain control.

When I enter the chamber, three pairs of eyes turn toward me—Alexander's warm purple gaze, Kieran's forest green, and Dominic's stormy blue. My brother and his mate o

    DominicElara never recognized the mate bond. Never showed any sign that she felt the pull that nearly drove me insane. Either her lycan is completely oblivious—unlikely for someone of her bloodline—or she knows exactly what I am to her and chooses to ignore it.Given how quickly she retreated into formal politeness after that night, I'm betting on the latter."Fucking princess," I mutter, though the words lack heat. It's hard to maintain proper anger when part of me still remembers the way she looked in that silver gown, the way she trusted me to lead her across the dance floor.The way she whispered be careful this morning like she actually gives a damn whether I come back alive.I shake my head, disgusted with myself for reading meaning into simple politeness. She's Alexander's sister—of course she doesn't want her brother's Beta getting himself killed on a border mission. It has nothing to do with personal concern and everything to do with political necessity.Time to focus on what

    DominicBe careful.Princess Elara's whispered words echo in my head as I stride through the palace corridors, jaw clenched tight enough to crack teeth. Two fucking words, delivered like some royal benediction, and they've managed to twist my gut into knots.Be careful. As if I'm some green recruit heading into his first skirmish instead of Alexander's Beta. As if I haven't been protecting this kingdom—protecting her—for the past five years.I slam through the doors to the training yard harder than necessary, startling a group of junior guards practicing sword forms. They straighten immediately, recognizing my mood even from across the courtyard."Sir?" One of them—Mark, I think—ventures cautiously. "Is everything alright?""Fine," I growl, grabbing a practice sword from the weapons rack. "Just need to work off some energy before tomorrow's mission."The training dummy doesn't stand a chance.I attack it with brutal efficiency, channeling three years of frustration into each strike. Th

    ElaraI wake with chains around my wrists.The cold metal bites into my skin as I struggle against bonds that shouldn't exist, in a place that feels both foreign and terrifyingly familiar. Around me, darkness stretches endlessly, broken only by the silver gleam of the shackles holding me captive. In the distance, I can hear voices—Alexander's voice, Lyra's, Kieran's—calling my name with a desperation that makes my heart clench.But I can't reach them. I can never reach them.The vision shatters as my eyes snap open to morning sunlight streaming through the tall windows of my chambers. My heart pounds against my ribs like a caged bird, and it takes several deep breaths before the familiar purple tapestries and mahogany furniture of my room come into focus. The silver spiral pendant Elder Thalia gave me—the same one Lyra wore during her early days here—rests warm against my collarbone, a tangible reminder that I'm safe in the palace.For now.I press my palms against my eyes, trying to b

    Kieran - Late That NightThe astronomy tower has become our sanctuary, the one place in the palace where we can escape the constant demands of rulership and just be ourselves. Tonight, with Princess Zahra tucked safely back in her chambers after an enthusiastic lesson about constellation navigation, the three of us sit together on the cushioned benches, wrapped in warm cloaks against the autumn chill."The Healer's Star is particularly bright tonight," I observe, pointing toward the constellation that's become especially meaningful to me over these past months. "According to the old stories, that means a time of great healing and growth.""Convenient timing," Alexander says with amusement, though his arm tightens around my shoulders in a gesture of affection.The view from up here never fails to humble me. The kingdom spreads out below us—villages connected by well-maintained roads, healing centers marked by the soft glow of welcome lights, trade routes that bring prosperity to previou

    Lyra - Same EveningThe state dinner is winding down, and I find myself actually enjoying the formal political theater for once. Six months ago, these events felt like elaborate performance pieces where I was constantly worried about saying the wrong thing or committing some breach of protocol. Tonight, I move through the crowd with genuine confidence, engaging in meaningful conversations about policy and trade rather than just surviving small talk."Lady Lyra," Ambassador Thornfield approaches with his characteristic diplomatic smile. "I wanted to personally thank you for the refugee integration initiatives. The healing knowledge your people have shared has already prevented three potential epidemic outbreaks in our border regions.""The knowledge belongs to everyone," I reply smoothly. "Sharing it serves all our people better than hoarding it ever could."It's a response I've given dozens of times now, but the truth behind it still fills me with satisfaction. The refugee healers aren
