Lyra’s pov

His lips crashed against mine again, his lips were familiar at this point.

This kiss was slower. As if he wanted me to feel every deliberate brush, every claim behind the kiss. My heart kicked against my ribs, each beat urging me closer, making me hungrier.

I sighed into him, the sound caught between desperation and surrender. Ronan tasted like sweet and dangerous, like something addictive, and I didn’t care that I was tumbling headfirst into it. His hand slid around my waist, tugging me until my body was pressed against the solid wall of his chest. The sheets tangled around us, thin barriers that meant nothing when his touch set my skin aflame.

“Ronan…” I breathed, not in protest, but in warning—maybe even in plea. I wasn’t sure anymore.

He didn’t answer with words. His mouth trailed lower, down the curve of my jaw, grazing the sensitive skin of my throat. My breath hitched, my hands clutching the fabric of the sheets as though they were the only tether to reality. Every p

    Celeste’s povI did it until my hands blistered, my shoulders burned and sweat poured down my face. But I kept swinging until the weapons master finally called a halt."She will not survive a real fight," he said to Lyra. "But at least she might not immediately die either.""That's good enough." Lyra gestured for me to follow. "Come. We have work to do."She led me to a planning room where maps covered every surface. Troop positions, supply routes, terrain features. It was overwhelming."Show me where Kael will position his forces," Lyra commanded. "Based on what you know of his tactics."I studied the maps trying to remember everything I had observed. "He favors high ground. Places where he can see the entire battlefield. Here." I pointed to a ridge overlooking the forest edge. "He will want command of this position.""What about the shadow creatures?""They move independently. They do not follow standard formations but they respond to fear. So wherever your soldiers are most frighte

    Celeste's povWhen dawn broke it was gray and cold over Shadowfang. I stood at my window watching soldiers gather in the training yards below. The entire kingdom had transformed overnight into a war machine. Every able-bodied person was being armed and trained. Even servants were learning basic defense.Guards came for me after breakfast. "Princess Lyra requests your presence in the training yards."Requests. As if I had a choice.The yard was massive with multiple training rings and weapon racks lining the walls. Hundreds of soldiers drilled in formation. The clash of steel on steel filled the air along with shouted commands and grunts of effort.And in the center ring stood Lyra.She wore fitted leather armor that allowed for movement. Her hair was braided back severely from her face. She held no weapon but she did not need one. Silver light gathered around her hands growing brighter with each passing moment."Again!" the weapons master shouted.Lyra thrust her palms forward. Light

    Celeste's povMy heart hammered against my ribs so hard I thought it might break through. Kael's brother. The man standing in my room was Kael's brother."That is impossible," I whispered. "Kael's brother died. Everyone knows that. He died when they were children.""Everyone knows what they were told." Ronan moved away from the bed giving me space. He walked to the window with the fluid grace of a predator. "My father tried to kill me when I was eight years old. He wanted Kael on the throne. He wanted a son he could control and manipulate and I was too... difficult. I was a resistant to his plans.""So he tried to murder you." I whispered as the realization dawned on me.Just how bad were the royals of moonstone? How much did they bury under lies and we failed to see?"I had tried to escape with Kael but of course, our father's claws had sunk deep into him making him betray me. My father sent assassins to get rid of me and they nearly succeeded." Ronan's hand moved to his side as if t

    Celeste's povI did not sleep after the forest screamed. How could I when I knew what that sound meant? Kael was corrupting the ancient barrier. Destroying the one thing that had kept these kingdoms separate for centuries.Dawn came too quickly. Guards arrived at my door with hard expressions and chains."The war council has convened," one said. "You are to provide intelligence."They led me through corridors filled with rushing soldiers and servants carrying supplies. The entire castle had transformed overnight into a military stronghold. I saw weapons being sharpened. Armor being fitted. Maps being spread across every available surface.The war room was a circular chamber with a massive table in the center. Maps of Shadowfang and the surrounding territories covered every inch of it. King Aldric stood at the head with Lyra at his right and Beta Garrick at his left. Military advisors and commanders crowded around. All of them turned to stare as I entered in chains."Lady Celeste," Ald

    Celeste's povThe sound was unexpected and slightly bitter. She turned to face me and there was something different in her expression now. Less cold. More... human."You want to know something?" she said. "That whole 'cold fury' act in the throne room? That was not entirely real."I blinked. "What?""When the scouts told me they found you at the forest edge I did not know how to react. Part of me wanted to kill you immediately, part of me wanted answers. Part of me was just... confused." She crossed her arms. "So I asked Ronan what I should do and he told me to be cold. To show no weakness and make you think I hated you so you would not try to manipulate me.""Ronan?" The name was unfamiliar. "Who is Ronan?"Lyra's entire body went rigid. Her expression closed off. "No one. Forget I said that."But I had seen her reaction. The way color rose to her cheeks. The way she suddenly found the window very interesting again."Is he someone important to you?" I asked carefully."Change the sub

    Celeste's povThe room they locked me in was nothing like the dungeon I expected.White stone walls hung with tapestries depicting wolves running beneath a full moon. A large bed with soft pillows and warm blankets. A window that looked out over gardens filled with flowers I had never seen before. There was even a private bathing room with hot water that actually ran from the taps.It was more luxury than I deserved. More comfort than I had any right to expect.But the door was locked from the outside and I could hear guards pacing in the corridor. The window had bars hidden behind the flowering vines. This was still a prison no matter how beautiful they made it.I sank onto the bed and let myself feel everything I had been holding back. The exhaustion. The grief. The overwhelming guilt that sat like a stone in my chest making it hard to breathe. All because of choices I made years ago when I was too selfish to see past my own wants.Voices drifted through the door a the guards start
