"Selene! Hold on!"

Rowan's voice was distant, muffled by the roaring of the Flame. I could feel it leaving me—the Silver Blood, the connection to the Goddess, the power that had defined me for so long. It was pouring out of my soul like water from a broken vessel.

The pain was unlike anything I'd ever experienced.

It wasn't just physical. It was spiritual. Existential. I could feel pieces of myself being torn away—memories, instincts, senses that had been part of me since birth. The Silver Flam

    "You're letting her go? After everything?"Victor's voice was sharp with disbelief as he stood in my study. The morning light streamed through the windows, catching the dust motes in the air. I'd barely slept—my mind still racing with everything Lyra had told me."I'm not letting her go. I'm giving her a choice." I paused. "She can stay and help us rebuild the North, or she can leave and never return. But I'm not keeping her prisoner.""She attacked our patrol. Wolves were hurt.""Because of a misunderstanding. Because of years of tension and distrust that my father created." I met his eyes. "Lyra isn't the enemy, Victor. She never was."Victor studied me for a long moment. Then, slowly, he sighed."You're too forgiving.""Maybe. But I'd rather be too forgiving than too cruel."Lyra was waiting in the garden.She stood by the roses, her scarred hands clasped behind her back, her expression unreadable. When she saw me approach, she didn't bow. She just watched."You're letting me go,"

    "Bind her hands. Gently—she's not our enemy."The skirmish was over. Lyra Voss knelt in the mud, her wrists bound with leather cords, her scarred face unreadable. Around us, her warriors had been disarmed and were being led away under guard. The fight had been brief but brutal—a misunderstanding, a border dispute that had spiraled into violence."I told you we weren't attacking your patrol," Lyra said, her voice flat. "We were tracking a band of rogues. They crossed into our territory three days ago.""And I'm supposed to believe that?" I asked."You can believe whatever you want. It doesn't change the truth." She met my eyes. "I never wanted your mate. I want my pack's freedom. I want my people to stop dying. That's all I've ever wanted."I studied her—the lean, scarred warrior who'd fought beside Kael, who'd defended the North against my father's armies. She was everything I'd once feared. Everything I'd once hated.But now, looking at her, I saw something else. Determination. Grief

  • The Wrong Mate And The Silver Queen   Chapter 130: The Long Road Home

    "You've been quiet since we left the fortress. What's on your mind?"Rowan's voice was gentle as we rode through the frozen wastes. The eastern mountains were behind us now, the fortress a distant memory. But the weight of what we'd learned—what we'd lost—still pressed down on me."Elara," I said quietly. "She was the first Silver Queen. The one who founded the Shadow Council. The one who started all of this.""She was also insane. Consumed by power. Willing to destroy the world to prove she was right.""I know. But she wasn't always that way. She started with good intentions—protecting the kingdom, preserving the balance. Somewhere along the way, she lost herself."Rowan was silent for a moment. Then he took my hand."You're thinking about what you might become. Without the Flame. Without the power.""I'm thinking about what anyone might become. Given enough time. Enough power. Enough fear." I paused. "How do I know I won't end up like her?""You won't.""How can you be sure?""Becau

  • The Wrong Mate And The Silver Queen   Chapter 129: The Flame's Trail

    "The Flame left a trail. I can feel it."I stood in the crystal chamber, my hands pressed against the ice that held the Devourer—the darkness within pulsed, hungry and aware. But there was something else—a faint warmth, a whisper of power that didn't belong to the Devourer."The Silver Flame," Ilsa breathed. "It's still here. Not in you, but... nearby.""Someone took it. Someone who knows how to use it." I closed my eyes, reaching for the sensation. The warmth was faint but unmistakable—a thread of light in the darkness. "It's coming from the east. Beyond the mountains.""The eastern wastes," Koda said quietly. "No one lives there. It's nothing but ice and stone.""Someone does. Someone who's been hiding for a very long time."Rowan moved beside me, his hand finding mine. "We need to follow the trail. Find out who took the Flame and why.""And the Devourer?" Ilsa asked. "If the wards fail while you're gone—""They won't fail. Not yet." I turned to face her. "The Flame is still connect

  • The Wrong Mate And The Silver Queen   Chapter 128: The Weight of Peace

    "You haven't slept in three days."Rowan's voice was gentle but firm as he entered my study. The candle had burned low, its flame flickering against the darkness outside. I was surrounded by papers—treaty drafts, supply manifests, letters from pack leaders across the kingdom."I'll sleep when the work is done.""The work is never done. That's the point." He crossed the room and gently took the quill from my hand. "You ended a war without a battle. You negotiated peace with a wolf who wanted to destroy you. You've earned one night of rest."I wanted to argue. But he was right. My body ached, my mind was foggy, and the words on the pages were starting to blur together."Fine," I said. "One night."He helped me to my feet, his arm steady around my waist. The bond between us hummed, warm and comforting."The kingdom will survive without you for a few hours," he murmured."It always does. But I worry.""I know. That's what makes you a good Queen."The next morning, I woke to sunlight strea

    "You want to do what?"Victor's voice was sharp with disbelief. We stood in the war room, the maps spread across the table, the enemy army visible through the windows. The siege had lasted three days. The wolves were scared. The supplies were running low."I want to negotiate," I said."Negotiate? With the Architect? The wolf who's trying to destroy everything we've built?""Yes.""Selene, that's insane.""Maybe. But it's also our best chance." I looked at the map, at the thousands of wolves surrounding the city. "We can't fight them. We don't have the numbers. We don't have the supplies. But we do have something they don't.""What's that?""Hope."The council chamber was silent as I explained my plan."The Architect is smart. Patient. They've been planning this for years. But they've made one mistake—they've underestimated me. They think I'm weak without the Silver Flame. They think I'm just a Queen with no power.""And you want to prove them wrong?" Helena asked."I want to show the
