Silas POV

The moment the dining hall began to empty, Alpha Silas grabbed Lady Lyra's arm and practically dragged her down the quiet hallway toward his private study.

He pushed the door open, stepped inside, and closed it hard behind them.

"What was that about?" Alpha Silas demanded, turning to face her, his voice low and tight with anger. "What do you mean by agreeing to send Eliana without talking to me about it first?"

Lady Lyra crossed her arms, rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Why are you making such a big deal out of this, Silas? She is just an omega maid. It doesn't matter who goes!" She narrowed her eyes, stepping closer to him with a sharp, suspicious look. "Or do you still have feelings for her? Is that why you are so adamant about keeping her here?"

Alpha Silas shifted his stance, his jaw clenching tightly. "It's not about being adamant! Don't you think it's suspicious? Out of all the omegas in this pack house, the Northern delegation picked *her* to go with them."

"They were impressed with how their guest room turned out and found out she was the one who arranged it," Lady Lyra shot back, waving her hand dismissively. "It could have been anybody! Commander Vance asked for the maid who did the room, and I agreed. Do you want us to seem like we disagree with the North? Do you want to look inhospitable right after signing a border treaty? Sending a simple maid to help them is just a token of our goodwill. There is no big deal!"

Alpha Silas turned his back on her, walking toward his desk.

In truth, his mind was spiraling. Even though he had rejected the mate bond with Eliana years ago—choosing power, position, and Lady Lyra's high-ranking family—he still liked having her around. They used to be close once. Keeping her in the pack house, under his thumb, made him feel in control. The thought of her walking away to the North, completely outside his reach, made something cold and bitter twist in his gut.

Lady Lyra watched his back, her voice dropping into a dangerous glare. "Is there any specific reason you don't want to see her go, Silas?"

"Don't be ridiculous," Alpha Silas snapped, turning back around to face her.

Before Lady Lyra could press him further, a firm, heavy knock echoed off the study door.

Without waiting for an invitation, the door swung open. Valerius and Commander Vance stepped into the room.

The air in the study instantly thickened with the heavy, crushing presence of the Northern Alpha. Valerius stood tall and composed, his dark eyes calmly taking in the tense posture of the couple in front of him.

Commander Vance stepped forward, putting on his smooth, professional smile.

"Alpha Silas, Lady Lyra," Commander Vance spoke, his tone polite yet carrying the weight of authority. "We apologize for interrupting, but we wished to settle our travel arrangements before retiring for the night. Our delegation will be leaving tomorrow morning. What do you say about our request regarding the omega?"

Alpha Silas opened his mouth to stall, his mind racing for an excuse.

"Of course," Lady Lyra cut in quickly, shooting a sharp, warning glare at Alpha Silas before turning to Commander Vance with a bright smile. "She will go with you. We will have her called in right now so we can give her the news."

    Valerius POV Valerius watched Eliana set her fork down. She had barely touched the chicken—eating only a small piece of toast and taking tiny sips of her tea.He glanced at the small white dish on the wooden tray, where the pieces of dark chocolate were still untouched."You haven't tried the chocolate," Valerius said, his voice soft in the quiet room.Eliana looked at the dish, her fingers fidgeting with the silk blanket. She hesitated, looking uncertain, as if asking permission to take a piece was a test she might fail.Seeing her reluctance, Valerius picked up a piece of the dark chocolate between his fingers. He leaned back in his chair and looked at her, a playful glint in his eye."Do I need to feed it to you?" he asked, keeping his tone light and teasing to bring a smile to her face.Eliana’s eyes went wide. Instantly, a deep, burning blush spread across her cheeks, rushing all the way down her neck. She quickly snatched a piece of chocolate from the tray herself and popped it

    Eliana's POV He had taken off his heavy dark coat, wearing only a plain black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He looked big and strong in the small room. In his hand, he carried a wooden tray with a clean white cloth. Steam rose from a teapot and a covered plate.The moment Eliana saw his face, her heart jumped into her throat. The picture of him coming close to kiss her in the dream flashed right in front of her eyes, and her cheeks turned hot all over again.She quickly looked down at the soft blanket, unable to look him in the eye.Valerius stopped near the door, looking at her sitting up in the big bed. He saw how she moved back slightly, her hands holding the blanket tightly, and the red blush spreading over her face and neck.He pulled his eyebrows together a little bit, looking worried. He thought her red face meant she was sick or had a fever from the long trip."Eliana?" Valerius asked gently, closing the door behind him and walking slowly toward the bed so h

    Eliana POV The cold was the first thing Eliana felt.In her dream, she stood alone in a big white field filled with heavy snow. Big trees stretched up into a dark gray sky, their branches weighed down by white frost. The wind blew softly, biting at her bare arms and making her shiver. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying to keep warm, but the cold went straight to her bones.Then, she heard heavy footsteps walking in the snow.She turned around and saw Valerius walking toward her. He was not wearing his heavy dark traveling coat. Instead, he wore a simple, warm sweater that made him look soft and friendly. In his hand, he held a big ceramic mug. White steam rose into the cold air, carrying the rich, sweet smell of hot coffee.He stopped right in front of her, his dark eyes filled with a gentle warmth that seemed to push the cold away."You look so cold, Eliana," he said softly, his deep voice sounding like a warm blanket.Before she could answer, the cold field seemed to vanis

    Valerius POV The car door clicked shut, blocking out the cold morning air of the Moonstone territory.Valerius sat back into the soft leather seat as the engine started up. Beside him, Eliana sat as still as a statue. She pressed herself far into the corner, her hands folded tightly in her lap. She kept her head down so low that her long hair fell forward, hiding her face.The car began to move, rolling smoothly down the road.Valerius watched her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing her try to make herself as small as possible made his stomach twist. She looked like a scared animal waiting to be hit.He wanted to reach out, stroke her hair, and tell her she was okay. But he knew better. To her, he was just a scary stranger from the North.Be patient, he told himself. Take it slow."The drive to the border will take a few hours," Valerius said, keeping his voice soft and quiet. "Are you comfortable, Eliana?""Yes," she whispered to her lap."You can turn on the seat warmer if you are

    Valerius POV Valerius stood near the large wooden front doors, dressed in his heavy northern traveling furs. Commander Vance stood beside him, keeping his polished, diplomatic smile while Alpha Silas and Lady Lyra stood a few steps away."We are deeply grateful for your hospitality, Alpha Silas," Commander Vance spoke smooth political words, acting as the public voice of their delegation. "And we thank you for extending your friendship by allowing your omega to assist our staff. We trust this is the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship between our packs."Alpha Silas barely gave a tight nod. His jaw was clenched, his expression hard and unreadable as he stared toward the hallway stairs.Right on cue, Lady Lyra spoke up with a forced smile. "Ah, here she is now."Eliana walked into the entryway, carrying a single, worn canvas bag over her shoulder. She kept her head down, her movements quiet and small as if trying to make herself invisible.Before anyone could move, Alpha S

    Eliana POV Early the next morning, before the sun was fully up, Eliana stood in her small basement room.She looked around at the cold stone walls and the thin mattress. There was almost nothing here that belonged to her. The pack gave her the few worn dresses she wore, and she had no money or valuable things.Her eyes fell on a small wooden box sitting on the table.It was the only thing she truly owned. The former Alpha—Silas's father—had given it to her on her twelfth birthday back when she still lived upstairs. He had handed her a beautiful hairpin with a crest carved into it, telling her it was the only thing left from the parents she could no longer remember.Eliana opened the lid and looked inside. Alongside the hairpin lay a small polished river stone Silas had given her when they were children - long before he became Alpha and rejected her, a picture of herself, Alpha Marcus and Silas, the hairpin the alpha had given to her on her thirteenth birthday and told her it belonged
