The Woman Who Wasn't His

Rowan’s POV

I read the sentence again. Her blood is required to seal the covenant permanently.

My eyes moved to Kael. “Does this mean she has to marry you?” Kael shook his head.

“No.”

Lucian looked between us. “That wasn't what the record said.”

“It doesn't need to.”

Kael took the parchment. “Seraphina was never my mate.” I remembered what he had told me. The elders had wanted her.

He had never loved her. Never kissed her.

Never chosen her. But the record still bothered

    The WitnessRowan’s POVDamon stopped fighting. His eyes remained fixed on my son. “What did you do?” Seraphina stepped in front of me.“Nothing.” Damon looked at her. “Then why did the mark appear?”“Because the covenant chose him.”Damon's face changed. “No.” Kael moved beside me. “Walk away.” Damon shook his head. “You don't understand.”“I understand enough.”“He wasn't supposed to exist.”My arms tightened around our son. “He's my child.” Damon looked at Kael. “Your child?” Kael's voice was firm. “Our son.”Damon laughed bitterly. “You still call him that.”“Because he is.”Damon looked back at the glowing mark.“The covenant has chosen him as witness.” Seraphina nodded. “That means nobody can use the crown without his consent.”Lucian stepped forward. “Even me?”“Yes.”He looked at Kael. “And you?”“Yes.”Lucian lowered his gaze. “Then the crown has no ruler.” Seraphina shook her head.“It has a protector.” Everyone looked at Kael.He said, “No.” I almost laughed. “Kael.”“I've

But the record still bothered me.“Then why does it name her?” Kael looked at Lucian. “That is what we need to find out.” A voice came from the doorway. “You already know.” We turned. Seraphina stood there. My first reaction was to step closer to Kael. He noticed. He took my hand.Seraphina gave a small smile. “You don't have to protect him from me.” Kael's voice was firm. “Why are you here again?”“To tell you the truth.”She entered the room. “I saw the record before Damon found it.” Lucian shook his head. “And you didn't

    The Man They BetrayedRowan’s POVThe palace gates opened before we reached them. Thousands of wolves stood beyond the walls. Northern families. Pack leaders. Soldiers. Even servants who had watched Kael leave in humiliation.But everywhere was quiet, nobody spoke.Kael stopped beside me. Our son slept against my chest. Garrick whispered, “They're waiting for you.” Kael shook his head. “They're waiting for a king.” He looked at me. “They'll be disappointed.”We walked through the gates. A path opened between the people. One by one, wolves lowered their heads. Not to a crown. To Kael. The oldest council elder approached us. He stopped a few feet away. “Kael.” He called. Kael didn't answer. The elder lowered himself to one knee. “We were wrong.” The others followed. Soon the entire courtyard was kneeling. I looked at Kael. He didn't smile. He didn't celebrate. He simply stood there. The elder raised his head. “Return to the throne.” Kael answered quietly. “No.” A murmur moved through

    The Heir Who RefusedRowan’s POVThe staircase appeared beneath Kael.Nobody moved. Then the voice came again. “Heir of the North, return.” Kael looked down. “I don't want to.” Damon laughed.“You don't get to refuse.” Kael turned to him. “Watch me.” Damon's smile disappeared. Lucian stepped closer. “What does the chamber want?” Elias answered.“The rightful heir.”Lucian looked at Kael. “And that's you.” Kael shook his head. “The throne can wait.” I stepped beside him. “Our son can't.” Kael looked at me and whispered, “I know.” Damon charged. Kael pushed me behind him.Their weapons collided. Damon struck hard. “You should have stayed king!” Kael blocked him. “You should have stayed away from Rowan.” Damon swung again.“You stole my family!”Kael caught his blade. “No.” He pushed Damon backward. “You destroyed your own family.” Damon attacked again. This time, Kael disarmed him. The sword fell down the stairs. Kael grabbed Damon by his collar.“It's over.”Damon laughed. “You think t

    The Crown Called HimRowan’s POVThe fifth beacon lit the mountains. Kael didn't move. Lyra whispered, “It knows you're coming.” Kael looked back. “I don't want the crown.”“I know.”“But people are going to die if Damon reaches the palace.” I squeezed his hand.“Then we go.” He nodded. We started to move through the forest. Orion stopped us.“Wait.” Kael turned. “What?” Orion pointed to the northern road. “We can't use it.”“Why?”“Because Damon will expect us there.” Lyra stepped closer. “There is another entrance.” She moved to the trees. “An old tunnel runs inside the mountain.” Kael followed her. “Where does it lead?”“Under the palace.” Garrick looked at me.“Convenient.” Lyra gave him a dry smile.“It wasn't meant for invading.”“Then what was it for?” “Escaping.”That answer silenced everyone. We entered the forest. Kael stayed beside me.Our son slept against my chest. After a few minutes, Kael leaned closer. “Are you afraid?”“Yes.” He looked at me. “I am too.” I smiled. “Y

    The Sister They HidRowan’s POV“My sister?”The word barely left my mouth. My mother closed the door. “No one was supposed to know about her.” Kael stood beside me.“You knew?” Elara looked at him. “Your father knew. Orion knew. Aldren knew.”“Then why didn't anyone tell me?”“Because she was the reason they kept searching for you.” My father began to cry.“Her name is Lyra.”“Why did you hide her from me?” I asked.“She was born after you.” I shook my head. “That doesn't explain anything.” Orion stepped closer. “She carries Aurelis blood.”“So do I.”“She carries something else.”“What?”He looked back. “The blood of the Northern line.” Kael went still. My mother continued. “Your sister was born from the old covenant.” I looked at Kael. “You mean…”“She was connected to the Northern royal bloodline before you ever met Kael.” Kael sat down. “Who was her father?” My mother didn't answer. I turned to her.“Mother.” She finally said it. “Kael's uncle.” Silence filled the room. Kael ste
