Tessa/jessica pov.How or when we managed to trap Adrian in the cage was still a blur to me. Everything had happened too fast. All I really remembered was chaos, Zane’s growl, my mother’s faint power guiding us, and then—Adrian screaming as the spell snapped shut. One second he was lunging at Zane, and the next, the cage lit up around him with symbols I’d never seen before.Zane had somehow connected with my mother long enough to cast the trap spell through the vessel. Even now, thinking back, it didn’t feel real.“Don’t worry,” Zane whispered as we walked away from the cave. His voice was low, soft in a way that made my chest ache. “I already have guards watching over him. We’ll get alerted if anything happens.”He pulled me into his arms as we kept walking. I don’t know how long we walked. My legs felt like they didn’t belong to me anymore. My eyes stung. Everything about me felt so heavy—like I could sink into the ground at any second.“I already mind-linked Fred,” Zane murmured,

Tessa/jessica pov.“Of course,” Zane said, squeezing my hand softly. “I will always support you in whatever you do.”His palm was warm against mine. I stared at him, feeling something tight in my chest, something a little overwhelming. “Even if it’s wrong?”He didn’t even hesitate. “Even if you want to burn down the world,” he said, his voice calm and steady, “I will gladly give you the lighter, Tessa.”A weak laugh escaped me. I leaned into him, letting myself breathe in his scent. “I love you,” I whispered.He wrapped his arms around me immediately, holding me close. “I love you too,” he whispered back, and I could hear how serious he was. No teasing. No hesitation.When he pulled back, he looked straight into my eyes. “I will announce the new law for both witches and wolves soon. We will all live in coexistence and eliminate the ethnic barriers between us.”Before I could answer, two guards approached and bowed deeply.“King Zane,” one said. “We have taken care of everything.”“Of

Tessa/jessica pov.Zane walked beside me, his steps fast and sharp, like he was holding himself back from shifting on the spot. “I just mindlinked Fred. He’ll check who in our tribe deals with rosemary with Tyson. Let’s check this out first.”I nodded, not trusting my voice yet, and followed him out of the dungeon. The doors slammed behind us, echoing down the hallway like a warning. A few guards trailed behind us, but nobody said a word. Everyone’s steps sounded too loud.We headed toward the Misty Forest. The deeper we went, the heavier the air felt, like the trees themselves were warning us that something was wrong. The smell of damp leaves clung to my clothes as we kept moving. Nobody dared speak for almost fifteen minutes.Then Zane suddenly stopped.“Can you trace the smell?” he asked.I stared at him. “No.”He chuckled like he had expected that answer. “It’s easy. You focus your sense of smell and shut the rest.”He made it sound like explaining how to lift a spoon. My brow li

Zane’s POVI left Jessica on the bed, kissed her forehead, and forced myself to step away before I lost control again. She needed rest after everything from last night. I needed to keep my head clear. I inhaled sharply and left the room, closing the door behind me.The moment I stepped into my office, Ronald arrived.“We will lead the guards to the border together,” I said immediately. “I don’t trust the others to do a good job.”Ronald nodded. “After today, I don’t trust anyone fully either.”“Since the chief guard turned out to be a betrayal,” I continued, pacing once, “I’m sure they still have someone in our midst.”Ronald opened his mouth to respond, but a knock sounded on the door.“My king,” a voice called from outside.“Come in,” I said.The door opened, and three men stepped in—envoys dressed in the colors of the Limestone Tribe. Their leader carried a wooden box in both hands, covered with embroidered cloth.“My king Zane,” the front envoy said with a respectful bow. “Our ch

Zane’s Pov;I stretched out my arm, my lips curling into a smile that I hoped reached my eyes.They had no idea what was about to hit them and I liked it that way.“King Zane,” their leader greeted, bowing too deeply. “We’re grateful you accepted our offer of peace.”Right. I nodded.“Let’s hear what your chieftain wants.”They exchanged glances and the leader opened his mouth to speak, but that was when the first blade came flying out of the trees.My guards reacted immediately and Ronaldo tackled me sideways as a second blade came flying towards me, lodging itself in the ground where I had been standing.“As you can see,” the leader said, his mask of pretence fading as he stepped back, “our chieftain chooses strength over negotiation.”Their hidden fighters came out from the trees, dozens of them. But I and my men were already prepared.“Good,” I smirked. “So do I.”My guards closed in around me, forming a defensive arc. The first Limestone soldier lunged forward. I caught his wrist,
