Calla's Perspective

The three of us reconvened in Maya's room after dinner, speaking in hushed tones with the door firmly closed. Venus had suggested we meet somewhere private where we wouldn't be overheard or interrupted by any wandering Alphas.

"So," I said, settling into one of the comfortable reading chairs, "what exactly are we planning here?"

Aidan grinned from his spot near the window, where he could keep watch for anyone approaching. "A little reality check for our possessive Alpha friend. Nothing harmful, just... educational."

Venus, who had seemed fragile earlier in the garden, now looked determined in a way that reminded me strongly of Aoife. "He wants to pretend I don't exist while pursuing you for political gain. Maybe it's time he realized what he's actually giving up."

"This should be interesting," Lyra said with what sounded suspiciously

    Venus's PerspectiveThe morning walk with Derek and Aidan had been exactly what I needed—light, pleasant conversation with no underlying tension or hidden agendas. Derek had asked thoughtful questions about my interests, my thoughts on pack dynamics, and my impressions of Moonveil, treating me like someone whose opinions actually mattered."He is kind," Aphrodite observed as we approached the packhouse. "Respectful. Everything our mate should have been but was not.""Thank you for showing me around," Derek said as we reached the main entrance. "I enjoyed our conversation immensely.""So did I," I replied, and meant it. Derek was easy to talk to, genuinely interested in what I had to say rather than just going through the motions of polite courtship."Perhaps we could continue our discussion over lunch?" he suggested. "I'd love to hear more

    Kieran's PerspectiveI was pacing the main hall, trying to work up the courage to seek out Venus when I heard familiar footsteps behind me. The scent that reached me a moment later made my stomach drop—Aoife, Venus's sister, and from the energy radiating off her, she was furious."Alpha Kieran," Aoife's voice was deceptively calm, the kind of controlled tone that preceded volcanic eruptions. "I was hoping we could have a conversation."I turned slowly, taking in her expression. Aoife had always been beautiful, but right now she looked absolutely terrifying. Her eyes blazed with protective fury, and her posture screamed barely contained violence."The sister comes to defend her blood," Dominion observed with a mixture of respect and apprehension. "We deserve whatever she is about to say.""Aoife," I said carefully. "Of course. What can I do

    Kieran's PerspectiveI hadn't slept. Not even for a moment.I'd spent the entire night pacing my guest quarters, replaying every word of my conversation with Alric, every moment of watching Derek court my mate while I sat paralyzed by my own choices. The mate bond pulled at me relentlessly, a constant ache that made it impossible to find any peace."We must act," Dominion said for the hundredth time since dawn. "Every moment we delay, she slips further away from us.""I know," I said aloud, running both hands through my hair in frustration. "But what am I supposed to say to her? How do I explain why I've been such a coward?""With honesty. With humility. With the acknowledgment that we have been fools."Through my window, I could see the morning sun casting golden light over Moonveil's territory. Somewhere in this p

    Venus's PerspectiveThe remainder of the dinner passed in a strange blur of conflicting emotions. Derek was everything Aidan had promised—charming, respectful, genuinely interested in getting to know me rather than just making conversation. He asked thoughtful questions about my transition to Moonveil, my interests, my thoughts on pack dynamics, treating me like someone whose opinions mattered.It should have been wonderful. And in many ways, it was.But every few minutes, I could feel Kieran's stare burning into me from across the room. The mate bond pulled at me with painful intensity, responding to his emotional turmoil in ways that made it hard to focus on Derek's kind attention."Our mate suffers," Aphrodite said with a mixture of satisfaction and sorrow. "Now he knows what rejection feels like.""Are you alright?" Derek asked quietly

  • The Prophecy of the Golden Wolf    Chapter 41

    Kieran's PerspectiveThe remainder of the dinner passed in a haze of barely controlled agony. Every laugh from Venus, every smile she directed at Derek, every moment of their easy conversation felt like a knife twisting in my chest. The mate bond, which I'd been successfully suppressing, now blazed through my system with relentless intensity, making it nearly impossible to focus on anything else."This is what you chose," Dominion said with cold fury, his mental voice cutting through my attempts at diplomatic conversation. "This pain, this loss—all of it could have been avoided if you had simply acknowledged what the Moon Goddess gave us."I managed to nod at something Alpha Sebastian was saying about territorial agreements, but my attention was entirely focused on the table where Venus sat with Derek. She looked radiant, animated in a way I'd never seen her before. Derek was lean

  • The Prophecy of the Golden Wolf    Chapter 40

    Calla's PerspectiveThe Moonveil dining hall had been transformed for the occasion, with long tables arranged in a formal configuration that could accommodate the largest gathering of Alphas the pack had ever hosted. Crystal glasses caught the light from overhead chandeliers, and the scent of roasted meat and fresh bread filled the air with warmth and hospitality.I took my place at the head table beside Uncle Alric, smoothing my blue dress as I surveyed the assembled wolves. Representatives from eight different packs filled the hall, creating a buzz of conversation and political maneuvering that made the air practically vibrate with tension.Kieran had positioned himself to my left, closer than strictly necessary for diplomatic purposes. He'd been attentive to the point of possessiveness all evening, refilling my wine glass, commenting on every topic of conversation, and generally behaving as if we were
