Sebastian’s POV

As morning stretched into midday, the courtyard filled with the sounds of training: the thunk of spear into shield, the twang of bowstring, the grunts of men as they sparred. It was a symphony of preparation, an orchestra tuned to bring down an enemy.

I found a quiet spot atop a raised platform in the center of the field, a dais carved from black stone. Here, I could watch everything, my army’s heart beating as one. I gestured for a young lieutenant to join me. He offered a salute and climbed the steps, sword at his side.

“Report,” I said, voice carrying over the courtyard.

He bowed deeply. “My lord, the southern cavalry unit is ready. Eighty riders, all armored in leather and steel. They await your commands just beyond the paddock.”

“Good,” I said, noting the troop by scanning the yard. A dozen horses stood in formation, bridles lined in silver. “They will flank Crimson Moon’s rear and cut off any who try to flee.”

He nodded. “Yes, my lord.”

    Henry’s PovSilence fell, thick as iron. Elijah paled, Liam’s jaw tightened, and I felt a knot of relief and fear twist inside me. Leila was truly still ours, but if Sebastian sensed this…Elijah spoke first, voice strained. “We must keep this secret, for now. We can’t risk telling anyone else until we know for sure. If Sebastian learns we can still bond with her, he’ll tighten his watch. He’ll guard her even more closely.”I nodded. “We also need a plan. We need to find her without alerting Sebastian.”Liam nodded, relief and pain mingling in his eyes. He turned back to the map. “That’s why I called this meeting. We need to break Sebastian’s hold over her.”I knelt beside him, studying the map. “Where would you start?” I asked.Liam pointed to a narrow pass in the mountains, a route I remembered well. “If she’s with Sebastian, he likely kept her in his eastern keep, high on the ridge. We could slip through here under the cover of night.”Elijah frowned. “The guards there are strong.

    Henry’s PovI woke before dawn, as I often did, but this morning the air was colder than usual. The sky was still dark, the stars pale and distant. I sat on the edge of my bed, listening to the hush that filled my chambers. Somewhere in that stillness I heard a faint ache of unease, an echo of something wrong that I couldn’t yet name. I rose and dressed quickly, heart thumping low in my chest. I strode through the deserted courtyard, the morning air cold against my skin, my breath steaming in front of me. My boots crunched on the frost-kissed gravel, and I gazed up at the high stone walls, towers standing sentinel over our home. It should have felt reassuring, familiar. Yet I sensed a hollow emptiness, as though our pack had somehow shrunk overnight.I turned toward the great hall, its doors still closed, as if the pack’s heart pulsed on inside that empty chamber. Inside, my brothers slept, I knew Liam restless, I had seen him pacing the hallways at midnight. Elijah probably sat in th

    Sebastian’s POVBefore the first light of dawn, I walked the length of my barracks. The air was cool, and the torches I passed burned steadily, flickering against the rough stone walls. Each warrior slept on a simple cot, their heads resting on folded cloaks. On the tables by their beds were swords, daggers, and small pouches of healing salve. The scent of iron and sweat lingered in the room, remnants of yesterday’s training.I ran a hand along the hilt of my own sword, the memory of its sharp weight grounding me. "Soon," I thought, "Crimson Moon will kneel."I moved through the narrow aisle between cots until I reached the edge of the hall where my lieutenants stood guard. Each wore the dark cloak of my army: heavy fabric cut to hide their faces, leaving only their eyes visible. They nodded respectfully as I passed.“Ensure these men are ready,” I said in a low voice to Captain Mael. His jaw tightened, and he dipped his head. “As you command.”Captain Mael was the oldest of my captai

    Liam’s POVI woke before dawn, as I always did, drawing on the quiet of the camp before anyone else stirred. The air was cool, mist clinging to the grass, and my breath puffed white in the lantern light. I rose from my cot and laced my boots, muscles humming with the memory of sleep’s warmth.I stepped outside into the training yard, empty except for the old wooden dummy I used to practice my strikes. My brothers were still asleep in the main hall, trusting the night watch to hold the line. I liked it that way, alone here, the world belonged only to me and my wolf.I drew my sword, its metal cool in my hand, and began my morning routine: strike, block, strike, block. Each movement precise, measured, the rhythm rail against chaos. As the sky lightened, I heard a soft rustle behind me. I whirled, blade raised, but there was nothing, only the wind dancing through the pines.I lowered my sword, heart hammering. I frowned. Funny, I would have sensed a stranger here. But this felt different

    Leila’s POVI wake each morning to Sebastian’s soft voice beside me, murmuring assurances that I am safe, beloved, and forever his. The silk sheets slip from my shoulders as I sit up, heart still pounding from dreams I refuse to remember. Here in his private chambers, beneath heavy tapestries and flickering lanterns, I weave a careful performance, one that hides the fear and hope roiling inside me.I am his Mate now, I remind myself as I brush back my hair. I must be his perfect mate.Sebastian stands at the window, silhouetted against the pale dawn. His broad shoulders fill his dark coat, and his hair glints like night itself. He turns when he hears me move, a smile lighting his pale face.“Good morning, my wolf,” he says, voice low and tender.My stomach twists. My wolf, the phrase should soothe me, but it only reminds me of the true pack waiting beyond these walls. Of Liam’s protective arms, of Henry’s gentle wisdom, of Elijah’s soft eyes. I swallow, forcing a small smile as I step
