“What king?” Kylan’s brows pulled together, still searching for answers. His hands rested on my shoulders, his gaze fixed on mine. “Were you just inside the Veil, Violet?”

I heard every word, but I couldn’t focus. I couldn’t even find my voice.

“The night has crowned its king,” I whispered. The words didn’t feel like mine. They slipped out without my choice. “And soon he will come for all of us.”

I stared ahead, my thoughts spinning too fast to catch.

“Come for who? Everyone in the Veil…us?” Kylan pulled me against his chest, holding me tight. “Who did you see?”

I swallowed hard. “Alaric…Adelaide…Baelor.” My voice grew small at the last name. Just saying it made my skin crawl, and the image I had seen burned behind my eyes again. Red eyes in the dark, the way he came for me…

How was I ever supposed to close my eyes again?

Kylan pulled back just enough to grab my hand. His gaze dropped to my ring, studying it like he was looking for something. “The ring is still on your finger,”

    VioletKylan had spread the blankets out right in the middle of the balcony. The cool night air brushed past while the stars in the sky felt like they were made for just us.We lay side by side, and my head rested on his chest, which was rising and falling with each steady breath as his eyes were fixed on the sky.My eyes weren’t on the stars. They stayed on Kylan and the soft smile on his face. He was trying so hard to make me feel safe, to make what I had seen in the Veil seem small and far away. But I knew it wasn’t, and so did he.This was a way to keep me safe from my own thoughts, and it was working. “I think I know now,” I spoke softly.“Know what?”“Why you look up at the stars,” I told him. “Because no matter how bad the day is, the stars still show up, and even on the worst day they remind you to breathe.”Kylan nodded slowly, his eyes still fixed on the sky. What he didn’t know was that I wasn’t really talking about the stars at all.I was talking about him. He was my star

    VioletIt was him.It could only be him.I sucked in a breath as I stared at the tall figure, waiting for him to disappear, but he didn’t. There was a smile plastered across his face which I couldn’t fully tell if it was warm or sad, maybe both.All I knew was that this was him, and there was no question about it.I drew in a shaky breath. “Alaric?” My voice was barely above a whisper. A relieved breath came from his lips, and he nodded once, his eyes never leaving mine.“Dad?”He exhaled, then broke into a wide, almost disbelieving smile. “Yes, I’m your dad,” he nodded again. “We have met before.”The flashes returned from another dream, the one I had in Starlight, where I found myself in the same place. Back then, a voice told me I wasn’t supposed to be there. Then I remembered him holding me as a baby through Adelaide’s eyes.We had met before, and that’s why he felt so safe and familiar.“I know,” I whispered back. The moment he stepped closer, it felt like the ground had disappea

    VioletI bit into the Lyperian donut Nate just couldn’t stop gushing about for the past few hours, the sugar melting across my tongue.“And?” Nate asked eagerly.I stared at him with a flustered look, humming in annoyance. My cheeks were still stuffed full, and I hadn’t even swallowed yet. “Give me a second!”After Nate had made it very clear that going back to embroidery was definitely not an option, we had decided to spend the rest of the afternoon together. The girls had joined us later with all kinds of questions about the council meeting, and Nate had shown us every corner of the palace.He had introduced us to a couple of the chefs he seemed unusually close with, and even insisted we stop by some of the mistresses and their siblings. After that, we had dinner, and then we all parted ways, though Nate was kind enough to escort me back to my room.“You are right,” I licked my lips once my mouth was finally empty. “It is really sweet.”“Told you,” Nate grinned. “Just like you.”My

    VioletNate wasn’t aware, so his question came out sounding gentle and innocent, but it still hit something deep in me.It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t know the truth, or that I couldn’t tell him the reason I cared so much was because I was one of them. Well, not exactly, but enough that I felt their suffering as my own.It wasn’t really personal. It was just another way to keep myself safe, and when Kylan suggested it, I agreed. It hurt because Nate was one of the few people I trusted, and yet here I was, still holding back something so big. Kylan’s eyes pierced into mine, but I didn’t know what it meant. I didn’t know if he was encouraging me to make my own decision or to make the smart decision. I had a pretty good sense that while he trusted Nate enough to come with us to the mountains, he didn’t trust him enough to handle the truth about my identity.Nate shifted a bit, desperate to meet my gaze. “Well?”I released a gulp, but quickly played it off with a light smile. “I care

    VioletI found myself standing in the chamber room again, right on the exact spot where I had stood earlier, speaking to the council. The votes were in now, and I was just about to hear the results.Though, I already had a good feeling that all went well. It wasn’t that hard to guess.King Elyx sat in his seat with his jaw clenched, glaring at me with that same cold look that never quite seemed to leave his face. Kylan, on the other hand, looked far too pleased. His expression was still as calm as it had been when I left the chamber, like he had expected this outcome all along.He looked at me with steady, reassuring eyes as I took a breath and waited.“Violet,” Beta Jack stepped forward from beside the king’s chair. He cleared his throat and straightened the paper in his hands. “The council has listened to your request,” he said, “and agreed to approve your proposal for aid.”I sighed slowly, feeling the tension leave my shoulders.“We will spread the word at court, gather medicine,
