INICIAR SESIÓNSerenity PovI tightened my fist around the iron token. I wasn't going to let this turn into a war.Cold wind bit through my face my breath came out uneven. Taking a deeper breath, I reached for my wolf, who had taken it upon herself to guide my pups and shield them from the spiritual attacks. I could feel her presence stirring within me, her power slowly responding to my call.This ends now.The moment I breathed those words, the air around me grew thick. My eyes turned a pure silver-white, and each breath escaping through my nose became visible in the sudden cold.I pushed myself up from the floor where Aris had hidden me for protection."Step back, Aris," I said.My voice came out in broken pieces, almost unrecognizable. "Tell the guards to fall back."The expression on his face changed the moment he saw my hair lifting into the air and my eyes turning completely white. He hadn't expected this. Perhaps none of them had.I knew I couldn't do much. My current strength was barely eno
Serenity Pov The armored SUV came to a stop on the road that was already frozen, and I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as the twins pressed against my lower stomach. I had been sitting for hours, and my back was beginning to hurt. I adjusted the pillow beneath my waist, wishing we could have stopped somewhere to stretch, but we were already behind schedule.I pulled down the tinted window and looked outside. An abandoned industrial district stretched before us, with old warehouses, shuttered shops, broken windows, and narrow alleys filled with dirty snow. According to the coordinates on the encrypted tablet, this was supposed to be one of our safehouse locations.Something about the place didn't feel right.I had learned not to ignore my instincts, especially after everything that had happened. My eyes moved across the empty buildings, searching for any sign of movement. Even though there was no one in sight, I couldn't shake the feeling that we were being watched."Hold position,"
Serenity Pov The frost of morning still covered the beautiful gates of Frost Palace when Beta Marcus and I stood beside the transport SUV. We had removed every royal insignia and covered the palace crest on the doors, making it look like an ordinary vehicle used by merchants travelling toward the outer territories. It would blend in with the other vehicles heading out of the capital.“Every member of your escort has been checked three times,” Marcus said quietly, handing me a tablet containing our communication schedule and emergency meeting points. “Six elite vanguard warriors. Their records are clean, their families are safe inside the inner keep, and they know only that we're travelling on urgent pack business.”I adjusted my wool cloak over my six-month belly. The twins were quiet, and feeling their steady movements helped settle some of the worry in my chest.“And the palace?” I asked, looking at him.“Secured,” Marcus assured me. “I'll handle daily operations and keep an eye
Serenity PovThe doors of the royal study were shut close. I stood over the tactical map on the desk, tracing the northern trade routes with my fingers on the tablet screen while Beta Marcus paced across the floor.“If you leave the palace to look for the northern healer, the council will react before you even get past the gates,” Marcus warned. “Redclaw is already gathering forces near the eastern ridge, waiting for us to show any weakness. If the elders discover you're going into unmapped territory while six months pregnant, some will panic, while others may try to take provisional control of the pack.”I looked up at him studying his face . “Then we won't let them find out where I'm going. We need to plan this properly, Marcus. A Queen cannot simply disappear, but I can't stay here doing nothing while there's a chance of finding a cure for Valerius.”Marcus stopped pacing and looked directly at the map. “How do you plan to govern Frost Pack while you're traveling through dangerous
Serenity Pov The doors of the private study were closed against the cold estate air as I spread Valerius's medical records and the old historical documents across the desk. I had been going through the physicians' notes for hours, looking for anything we might have missed since he fell into a coma.Beta Marcus stood near the door, waiting while I read through another report.“Have the healers found any change in his condition?” he asked.“His body is stable, but the curse is still there.” I ran my fingers over the physician's notes, hoping there was something I hadn't noticed before. “The wound closed when I used my healing energy, but whatever is inside him hasn't changed. The other healers haven't been able to do anything about it.”I leaned back in my chair and rested a hand on my six-month baby bump. I wanted Valerius to wake up. I wanted to walk into his room and see him open his eyes, hear him speak to me, and tell me this nightmare was finally over. But every day that passe
Serenity PovThe iron token recovered from the ashes of Pine Ridge had revealed another problem inside Frost Palace. It belonged to a rogue who was still listed in our records as being locked up in the lower security blocks.I stood beside the table in the royal study while Beta Marcus spread the prison records and guard shift logs in front of me. The pages were filled with names, dates, signatures, and official seals.“If he was supposed to be in our dungeons cells, how did he end up on the battlefield?” I asked.“We checked the transfer records for the lower security block over the past six months,” Marcus replied, running his finger down a column of signatures. “Several high-risk rogues were recorded as having been moved to external holding facilities or released under royal orders. But when we compared the dates with the transport records and guard assignments, things didn't add up.”I narrowed my eyes. “Someone is changing the prison records. Are the signatures real?”“They look
