“Oww.”

The sound scrapes out of me before I can swallow it.

Everything hurts. It's neither the sharp kind of hurt nor the shallow surface-level pain.

This is the deep, dragging ache that settles in the bones, the kind you only feel when your whole body has been taken apart and put back together wrong.

I try to take a deep breath, only to instantly regret it.

My ribs scream, my muscles seize, and for a moment I swear I’m dying all over again.

Goddess, this feeling. I know it too well.

An unfamiliar ceiling swims into view, the soft shadows across it blurring and sharpening as I blink. Lavender lingers in the air, but beneath it is something else—warm, grounding, painfully familiar.

Someone was here.

“Who…?”

The word dissolves before it’s fully formed as the pain in my body flares again, pulsing like a heartbeat under my skin, and suddenly the memories slam into me without mercy.

This is just like that time.

The first time my body felt like it was trying to tear itself apart from the in

    It has been six days.Six days of pretending I can stay away from her.Six days of fighting the sensation of being… pulled.Pulled… is putting it lightly. I feel wrecked.Every time I force myself to avoid this hallway, the bond coils tighter inside my ribs like something sharpening its claws.I shouldn’t be here. I know that.Aisling made it very clear: distance is safety.But somehow, my traitorous feet have carried me to her room again.The healer wing is quiet. Even the guards stationed down the corridor look like shadows instead of men.Not that it's strange since I'm the one who's here at two in the morning.My hand is already on the door handle before I realize I’ve moved.“Fuck,” I exhale. “Why is this so damn hard?”I push the door open quietly, bracing myself for the sight that haunts me even while awake.From where I'm standing, I can see that she is still unconscious.I walk in quietly, and shut the door softly behind me. The healers checked her two hours ago; I know, beca

    For a heartbeat, the world seems to stop as Zarina’s question hangs between us like a blade suspended by a thinning thread.I’m about to shut it down with a lie when a second voice slices through the room like ice.“That is the same question I need an answer to.”Aisling.She slips into the office as quietly as a breeze, but her presence is anything but gentle. It hits much like a pressure change.She hops onto the edge of Zarina’s desk with that infuriating grace she inherited from our mother.She looks so calm, poised, and sharp enough to peel the truth off a man’s bones.I force my breathing to stay even.“Be specific,” I say, though my voice is no longer steady. “Who do you think she is?”Zarina doesn’t blink.Aisling’s gaze sharpens with the kind of clarity that makes people confess without meaning to.“The girl you brought into this estate,” she begins slowly, “the girl you had treated in your bedroom… the girl who lived through a forced shift…”Her eyes narrow into an assessing

    Zarina doesn’t blink when I refuse the chair.She simply exhales and flips the chart open.“Fine,” she says coolly. “We’ll start with the obvious. Her shift.”My jaw tightens. “She shouldn’t have shifted. Not with silver still in her system.”“No,” Zarina replies, “she shouldn’t have. Which is why forcing her body into one was catastrophic.”A cold line of dread slides down my spine.“Catastrophic… how?”Zarina folds her arms, bracing like she’s preparing to tell me something I won’t survive hearing.“Your Majesty,” she begins carefully, “the silver you ordered me to leave circulating in her blood reacted violently with the hunter venom she was already carrying.”Hunter venom.From that stab wound in her shoulder.“It accelerated the spread,” Zarina continues. “It triggered her wolf prematurely. The shift wasn’t voluntary. It wasn’t even natural.”Forced shift.My stomach drops again.That’s one of the most painful things a wolf can endure.“What happened?” I hear myself ask, even tho

    I wake up with the taste of iron on my tongue, on the cold stone floor of the Holding Chamber, my wrists burningThe taste isn't blood. Not quite.It’s the aftertaste of losing myself.Again.I let out a deep breath that scrapes like broken glass against my throat as I remember everything.Ash’s whisper that called Klaus's name.Her trembling hand on my muzzle.Her scent that threaded through my darkness like a lifeline.Her body pressed against mine when Klaus took over.The moment we curled around her like she was the only thing keeping us alive.And the devastation of realizing that even feral, even drowning in madness, I had… stopped.For her.I scrub a hand over my face, my jaw clenched so tightly it hurts. I shouldn’t remember the details, but I do. Every one of them carved into me like wounds.“Why was she even out there?” I mutter.Was she trying to escape?I force myself up, and call out for a guard. One comes running forward, the fear in his eyes leaking through the tough fr

    I don't realise I am stumbling backwards until I stumble into the snow.I struggle to my feet and run toward the tree line.I can still make it. If I run now.If the Goddess finally pities me for once in my miserable life—All I need is to climb those trees, wait out the chaos, and stay alive.Simple.Whoever—whatever—he is, must not kill me.I'm halfway across the snow to the trees when I feel the vibrations, and then—Crunch.The sound snaps me to a standstill.My entire body goes rigid. My heart is slamming so hard against my ribs I think it might crack through bone.I don’t turn.Scratch that.I can’t.Not when every instinct I have is already screaming. Not when every muscle is frozen with fear.The murderous feeling rolling off the creature behind is enough for me to imagine the current colour of the gates of hell.I'm betting it's black.The wind shifts, sweeping past me in a cold, merciless gust.I can't tell if I'm shivering from the cold or the fear but the scent filling my
