NYXAs soon as Cross dropped me off at the packhouse gates, I stepped out of the car so quickly, you’d think the ground was on fire beneath me.“I’ll be just a call away,” he said, stepping out from the driver’s side. “Once you’re done here, let me know and I’ll come pick you up.”I nodded, already half-distracted by the storm of emotions swirling inside me. But I froze when he leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to my forehead. Despite the anxiety twisting in my stomach, that simple gesture still made butterflies flutter in my chest, and I felt my cheeks go warm.“Take care of yourself, little one.” He said softly before walking back to his car and driving off.I stood there for a moment, watching his car disappear down the road. It had been three days since I left Aunt Diane’s place and stayed at Cross’s apartment. And honestly, it was starting to feel like something more—whatever ‘this’ was between us.

For once, the cowards looked like they had found their courage. Or at least, they thought they had.My gaze locked with Max’s. His eyes didn’t blink or shift. He just stared right back at me.“How dare yo

QUEEN ADELINEIn the private wing of the packhouse, where a new room had been specially arranged for Raya, Queen Adeline sat quietly by her daughter’s side.

Only a single cook and one trusted maid worked here. This secrecy was intentional. Until Adeline and Kaiden decided how and when to announce Raya’s return, no one outside this space could know she was here.Adeline’s hand moved rhythmically through Raya’s hair, her eyes misty as she watched her daughter eat. A soft smile; equal parts sorrow and joy, tugged at her lips. So much time had passed. So much pain had been endured.
