Traded to the tyrant Chapter 40
ELARA'S POVThe morning of the council vote, I woke to find Draven already gone.A note rested on his pillow: *Early meeting with Theron. You're going to be magnificent today. I love you. - D*I smiled despite my nerves and rose carefully, mindful of my growing belly. Four months pregnant now, and the baby seemed determined to make their presence known with constant movement.Sena arrived shortly after with breakfast and formal attire for the council session."Deep blue today," she announced, laying out an elegant gown. "Projects authority and confidence. Exactly what you need.""I feel like I'm going to vomit from nerves.""Then vomit quickly and compose yourself. The council convenes in three hours." Her tone softened slightly. "You've prepared thoroughly, my lady. Trust in that preparation."She was right. I'd spen

DRAVEN'S POVThe proposal to make Elara the official alliance mediator required careful political maneuvering.I spent the following days arranging private meetings with key Alphas, gauging their receptiveness to formalizing her role. The responses varied more than I'd anticipated."She's proven herself capable," Theron of Moonvale acknowledged during our discussion. "But making an Eclipse Omega the official face of alliance dispute resolution? That's bold.""Bold or necessary?" I countered. "We've watched her mediate successfully multiple times. Her abilities give her unique insight into emotional truth beneath political posturing.""Which is exactly what concerns some Alphas. They don't want someone who can sense their genuine motivations." Theron leaned back in his chair. "Eclipse Omegas make powerful people nervous, Draven. You know this.""Then those peo

ELARA'S POVThe accelerated training proved more challenging than I'd anticipated.Vera woke me before dawn each morning, insisting that Eclipse Omega abilities were strongest during liminal hours, the transition between night and day when the world balanced between states."Your power draws from boundaries," she explained as we settled into meditation positions in the courtyard. "Between consciousness and unconsciousness. Between individual will and collective pack bonds. Dawn and dusk amplify that natural resonance."I tried to focus despite my exhaustion. Pregnancy made sleeping difficult, the baby seemed most active at night, pressing against my bladder and ribs in turns."Clear your mind," Vera instructed. "Feel the pack bonds forming their morning connections as wolves wake and begin their day."I extended my awareness carefully, sensing the subtle shift as Bloodreaver pack members stirred from sleep. Their individual threads brightened gradually, like stars emerging as darkness

DRAVEN'S POVThe days following Kaelen's visit were tense.I threw myself into researching the Nightshade bloodline, cross-referencing what little information existed in our archives with accounts from allied territories. Most records had been deliberately destroyed during the Eclipse Omega purge, leaving only fragments and rumors.What I found wasn't reassuring."The Nightshades weren't just powerful," I told Rho during one late-night research session. "They were political. They used their abilities to broker peace treaties, mediate conflicts, reshape alliances. That made them invaluable to some packs and terrifying to others.""Let me guess, the terrified ones orchestrated the purge?""Exactly. Led by a coalition of traditional Alphas who viewed Eclipse Omega influence as existential threat to pack hierarchy." I pushed another dusty tome across the desk. "They systematically hunted down every known Nightshade descendant. Those who survived did so by completely suppressing their abil

ELARA'S POVI barely slept that night.Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined the upcoming meeting with Kaelen. What information about Eclipse Omega bloodlines could be too sensitive for written communication?*Stop spiraling,* Draven's mental voice murmured through the bond. *You'll make yourself sick with worry.**I can't help it. This feels wrong.**Everything about Kaelen feels wrong. He's fundamentally untrustworthy.* Draven pulled me closer. *But you're not facing him alone or unprepared.*He was right. The great hall would be filled with our most trusted warriors, and Draven would monitor everything through our bond.*What if he tries to claim parental rights to the baby?* The fear had been gnawing at me.*That bond is completely gone. Healers confirmed it. He has zero claim.* Draven's certainty flowed through

DRAVEN'S POVThe pregnancy announcement changed everything, though not in the ways I'd initially expected.Within days, word spread beyond Bloodreaver territory. Our allied packs sent congratulations and gifts. Neutral territories suddenly expressed interest in strengthening diplomatic ties.And my father, predictably, sent a threat thinly disguised as a formal letter."Listen to this," I said to Rho, reading the latest correspondence. "'While I congratulate you on impending parenthood, I must remind you that any child born of your bloodline carries claim to Silvercrest's throne. Such claims require proper acknowledgment and registration with the royal house.'"Rho's expression darkened. "He's trying to establish legal claim over your unborn child.""Exactly. Register the birth with Silvercrest, and he gains leverage. Refuse, and he'll claim we're denying the
