The Silver More palace sparkled in the bright moonlight, its old towers made of black stone that shone like smooth obsidian. Fire torches lit the grand staircases, and guards stood still in their shiny ceremonial armor holding spears that sparkled in the moonlight. The throne room was very quiet. The only sound was the soft crackling of a flame against the cold metal.
Prince Jayden Alaric stood alone beneath the tall ceiling. He was surrounded by marble statues of kings and queens who had been laid to rest in the castle long ago. His black cloak, which had silver threads stitched into it, flowed behind him as he walked toward the platform. The Moonlight Throne was waiting for him there.
Tomorrow, he will sit on it as the King.
However, the power felt light compared to the turmoil in his heart.
He breathed out quickly and ran his gloved hand over his chin. He had fought against assassins trained by wild wolves and defeated rebels who challenged the king. With the coronation just one night away, he was not troubled by duty or fighting.
“It was the smell of her.”
The same smell—jasmine mixed with pine smoke—floated through the night air like a soft reminder of the past. He hadn’t taken a breath of it in five years. It has been five years since the girl who had fire in her eyes and betrayal in her words disappeared into the night, taking more than just his heart.
Ivy.
Her name felt hot on his tongue like a word he wasn't supposed to say. He hadn’t said it out loud in years.
“Hey, she’s nearby…”
His wolf moved around nervously, shifting behind his ribs like an animal trapped in a cage.
Jayden tightened his fists, fighting the urge to change and rush through the city until he found her. If she were back in Silver More, then everything was about to fall apart.A soft voice called from behind, “Your Majesty.”
Jayden stayed facing the same way. He immediately recognized the voice of Lucien Hale, his Beta and lifelong friend. The only person who understood the truth about the bond Jayden had hidden under years of metal and quiet was him.
“She is here, right?” Lucien asked softly as he walked up next to him. “The troublemaker.”
Jayden clenched his jaw. “She was never just a rogue.”
“Then why did she abandon you in the courtyard, leaving you hurt and your bond with your mate only partly broken while your wolf went wild for weeks?”
Jayden shut his eyes, trying to forget about that night. The moon turned red, and Ivy vanished without a sign—only stories and scars were left. No note. No explanation. “Only the fading warmth of her skin and the empty feeling of being betrayed.”
He confessed, “I don’t know.” “I will discover the truth.”
Lucien stayed quiet for a moment. He let out a big sigh. “Make sure you want to know the truth.”
At times, it’s better to leave the past undisturbed.
Jayden stared at him intensely. “She is still alive.”
I can’t agree to that. “However, you were.” “For a long time.”
They remained quiet, paying attention to the wind howling outside the palace walls.
At last, Jayden looked at the tall stained-glass windows that looked out over the courtyard lit by the moon. His people were gathering for the Moon Festival—a sacred celebration of unity between packs, a tradition of peace, power, and matebond blessings.
Ironically, the crown prince would be standing alone without a Luna by his side.
The council encouraged him to make a choice. They showed the noblemen's daughters to him as if they were lambs being led to be killed. Some were stunning. Some were clever. Everyone had big dreams.
“However, none of them had the scent of jasmine and pine.”
None of them silenced his wolf out of respect.
“None of them was her.”
Jayden’s expression became serious. “If Ivy came back, he would find her.”
“This time she would stand her ground.”
Outside the castle walls in the dark of the northern forest, Ivy held her daughter close under her old cloak. The moonlight shone through the branches, creating silver shapes on the mossy ground. The little girl in her arms moved and made a quiet whimpering sound.
"Ivy softly said, ‘Be quiet, my dear.’” “We’re close to reaching our destination.”
Her heart raced. Every step closer to Silver More felt like walking into a dangerous situation. She promised that she would never go back. Pledged to raise her daughter away from the troubles of the past.
But destiny—unpredictable and harsh—had different ideas.
Aelin had the right to learn the truth about her origins.
Even if it meant Ivy had to confront the one man she was most afraid of…
“The dad of her child.”
At the palace, Jayden walked over to the throne and placed his hand on the chilly armrest. A chill ran through him. The silver stitching on his sleeve sparkled in the torchlight as he held the stone tightly.
He quietly said to himself, “She left me once, but I promise to the moon—if she comes back, she won’t leave again.

The sun went down behind the tall pine trees on the northern ridge. The golden rays lit up a weathered cottage by Silver More, and the scene looked beautiful. Ivy Ravenshade stood at the edge of her herb garden. Her hands were dirty, and she stared at the trees. She seemed to hope they would answer her back.For the past five years, she focused on creating a quiet life in the background. She raised her daughter, stayed out of the spotlight, and pushed down the hurt from what she lost.“However, things were changing.”It began a week ago. The ravens that normally flew around in winter came back early, squawking at her window. Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted. “Not only with the arrival of autumn but also something deeper.” “More advanced in age.” The breeze didn’t feel like a breeze anymore. It seemed like a sign of danger.Ivy’s heart raced more with each passing hour. She glanced down while a tiny hand pulled on her cloak.Aelin whispered, “Mama,” her shiny silver eyes full of wonder

The rain started early in the morning.It was a gentle sound, just a whisper on the rooftops of the quiet woodland village where Ivy had spent many years hiding. Cassian sensed it as a warning—the type of storm that begins softly before becoming fierce.He stood at the edge of the woods wearing a dark wolfskin cloak and watched the small cottage where Ivy lived. His heart pounded in his chest like a drum in battle. He did not want to do this. She didn’t want to argue with her. “However, if she was thinking about going back to Silver More...”He needed to make her stop.Cassian walked through the fog quietly like a skilled fighter, his boots making little noise on the wet leaves. The first thing he noticed was the smell of rosemary and ash. Then I felt a comforting warmth—Aelin was near. “Little.” “Not guilty.” Strong.The door opened slowly before he had a chance to knock.“I sensed you were approaching,” Ivy said gently, her voice steady even though he noticed the tightness in her sh

At that time she thought she was making the right choice. Leaving him was an act of kindness—for both him and their unborn baby. The reality was that she had been scared. Worried about what the council might do. She was scared of the energy moving inside her stomach. The biggest worry was that Jayden would pick the crown instead of them.Now she began to doubt whether he ever had a choice at all.As the morning light began to shine on the trees, Ivy got up and went outside holding the letter tightly again. She took a small magical crystal from her cloak. It was one of Seraphine’s oldest tools. She held it up to her lips and softly said a name into the breeze.The crystal shone softly. A voice responded.Seraphine said, “I was curious when you would finally start to listen.” Her voice was far away but firm.“I received your message,” Ivy said. “You have been observing.”“Always.”“Why is this happening now?”“The threads are snapping.” The Moon Festival will strengthen the connection b

The Moon Festival was in full swing.Silver More sparkled under the soft light of the moon. Its cobblestone streets were brightened by floating candles and glowing lanterns designed like wolves and moons. Music filled the valley, creating a beautiful and eerie sound that felt both old and natural. Laughter filled the market square as dancers twirled in colorful silk and clouds of smoke.Jayden did not have a smile on his face.He stood at the edge of the stone balcony, watching the celebrations below with his black cloak flowing behind him. The golden crown of the Moon Throne sat on his head, but it felt heavier than usual tonight.He was the leader. “King in the near future.”“Still, something pulled at him.” A smell. An emotion. “A memory carried by the breeze.”“Your Majesty,” Elias said, standing next to him with his typical icy grin. “The Council is looking forward to your final speech.” “Should I call them?”Jayden stayed facing forward.
