The dining hall was crowded, despite the late hour. Nobles lingered after the council, their voices carrying across the hall alongside the sound of silverware scraping against porcelain. The scent of roasted meat and its accompanying side dishes wafted towards me relentlessly, reminding me of how hungry I still was.

Rowan had taken himself to the head table with Jeremiah, their shoulders bent close to one another in quiet discussion, and I tried my best not to look over at him.

I let Nolan guide me toward the side of the hall, where the stone wall was at my back and the tables gave me a clear view of the room. I sat and tried to make myself invisible as I had always done, but it did nothing to ease the pressure of their eyes focusing on me.

They watched me the way they always did with quick glances accompanied by derogatory whispers, and all I could focus on was the glint of their crests pinned on their lapels catching the light as they leaned toward each other.

    We moved him under the cover of darkness.The healers came first; they moved silently and efficiently with their heads bowed. They checked his pulse and stitched the shallow claw marks where needed, leaving herbs for me to apply that I didn’t recognize. When they were gone, Nolan and Jeremiah brought two higher-ranked commanders and lifted him. He was heavy, all muscle and dead weight, and his skin was still hot to the touch.We took him down the servant stairwell, where no one would see, and then across the courtyards to the basement chamber I had spent the last blood moon with him in. It was safer for him here, and safer for us. Far from the court and far from the gossip. Contained, Jeremiah had said, and safe. But even down here, I could feel that the fallout wasn’t over yet. There were still two nights left, maybe three, and on any of those days, Marcus could lead his attack,.Until it set, his wolf would keep clawing for control, and the court would keep clawing for his thron

    He did.The growl snapped into a roar that rolled through the corridor like thunder. Rowan’s claws tore free, his eyes burning bright gold and red as his wolf finally broke through completely.Jeremiah swore under his breath and lifted a hand, motioning for the guards to hold back. The command was clear: do not interfere.Nolan stepped forward anyway, his shoulders squared, his stance wide and every inch of him ready.Rowan’s gaze locked on him instantly as he huffed at the air, and caught his scent. The faint trace of my sweat from earlier training, the lingering sweat on Nolan’s skin, and worst of all, the thread of my scent tangled too close with his. It was all it took. Something inside his wolf snapped.The sound that came out of him wasn’t human. It was a snarl full of jealousy, frustration, and warning, sharp enough to rattle the doors on their hinges.“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” my wolf growled. “He smells Nolan, loses his head, and decides murder’s the move? Idiot. He’d kill your

    The message still burned in my mind long after the council had dispersed. The next Blood Moon rises soon. I’ll collect what is mine.Rowan hadn’t spoken since, and Jeremiah had taken command of the hall, sending couriers off in every direction with fresh orders, while Nolan stationed additional guards through the night. I’d barely slept. Even when I closed my eyes, the letters carved themselves across the darkness, Marcus’s name glowing like a brand I couldn’t scrub away, and pulling at all of the memories that I had tried so hard to forget.By morning, the atmosphere in the palace had changed; a sense of urgency hung over everyone, and people moved faster, their eyes flicking toward the windows as though waiting for whatever lay beyond them to appear.When Nolan found me in the courtyard, the expression on his face told me that whatever he was about to say was bad before he had even started speaking.“Scouts have reported movement near the northern border,” he murmured so that no o

    The summons came before dawn and Jeremiah woke me with a knock and the quiet warning that the nobles were already gathered.By the time I reached the council chamber, every seat was taken. Crests gleamed along the table, each one belonging to a family with a daughter waiting outside, dressed and ready to be offered up like a prize. Rowan stood at the head, shoulders rigid, and his mask of calm stretched precariously across his expression.I could feel that he was anything but calm though.I slipped into a chair against the wall, close enough to hear, never close enough to count, while Nolan positioned himself behind me, steady and silent. I wasn’t particularly fond of attending these meetings, but since Rowan had insisted last time, because I had helped to protect the city, now it was expected of me.The whispers started the moment I sat. They never looked directly at me; they didn’t need to. A few tilted their heads together, voices low enough to at least pretend at civility as they

    Chapter 78 – Tension in TrainingThe nobles’ whispers still rang in my ears long after Rowan left the hall. Their faces, their laughter, the scrape of their chairs — all of it clung to me. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.Nolan noticed. He didn’t ask. He just stood, touched my shoulder once, and said, “Come on.”He led me out through the side passage, away from the smell of wine and the eyes that never looked away long enough to forget me. The courtyard was cold and empty, stone slick from the evening air, the silence wide enough to breathe in.Training had always been easier than talking. Easier than listening to them. Easier than waiting for Rowan to decide what silence meant.So when Nolan said, “Set your stance,” I did.Nolan stood a few paces away, arms crossed, expression focused. He didn’t need to speak for me to know what he expected. I rolled my shoulders once, forced my hands steady, and started the drill.My body ached from the day before, and every movement burned but rest

    Nobles lingered in clusters, and each one of them pretended that they weren't watching us, but I could see that every eye was fixed on our table.Rowan’s hands pushed down into the wood until it groaned. His chest heaved, and his wolf was clawing to get out. Nolan leaned back in his chair with his arms folded; his usual calm aura was now reflected only in his posture, because the wolf in his eyes was anything but calm. “You’ve overstepped,” Rowan snarled furiously.Nolan didn’t move.“Why? I only told her the truth. She does deserve so much better than the venom that's directed at her on a daily basis...and she deserves better than silence too.”“You dare...” Rowan snarled, flashing his canines.“I dare because you don’t,” Nolan cut across him, his voice full of irritation. “When she needed you, all she got was a King. Never a man, never you.”Rowan’s breathing was starting to become ragged as his wolf pushed against his control. I could see that he wanted to answer this with violenc
