The iron door to the council chamber had barely closed before Elise felt rough hands clamp onto her arms. The guards didn’t speak as they yanked her forward, their grip bruising her flesh. Her screams still echoed in her own ears, but here, outside the chamber, they fell into silence. No one rushed to her defense. No one whispered her name with kindness.The stone corridor was dim, torches casting long shadows that swayed with every step. The packhouse dungeon lay beneath the oldest wing of the estate, a place whispered about by pups who dared each other to sneak near. Elise had never seen it before, never thought she would.Her bare feet scraped against the cold floor. She tried to dig her heels in, but the guards only tightened their grip, dragging her like a sack of grain. Her nails clawed at the stone, leaving streaks of skin.“Please,” she rasped, her voice raw from crying. “Please, I didn’t do anything—”“Quiet,” one of the guards snapped, his voice flat, detached. “Orders are o

Becky’s smile grew even wider.By morning, the weight of her manipulation had already begun to move. Rumors hardened into truth, whispers into declarations. And miles away from the restless village and Kai’s sleepless rage, Elise sat in silence, the stone walls around her colder than death itself.Her cell had no windows. Only a single slit near the ceiling, where weak daylight filtered through like dust. The air smelled of damp rock and dried blood. She hadn’t moved much in hours — not since they’d dragged her back from the healer’s quarters after her injuries had been “treated.”Her wrists ached from the chains. Her throat felt raw from silence.It was easier not to speak anymore. Words had only ever been used against her.Elise leaned her head back against the wall, eyes fixed on the ceiling. Every time she closed them, Kai’s face appeared. His eyes — once full of warmth — now burned in her memory with anger she couldn’t understand.She tried to remember the last time he’d smiled a

The cell was colder than usual.Elise had lost track of time again — maybe it was morning, maybe night. The torches outside the dungeon had burned low, leaving faint orange light crawling across the walls. Every sound echoed. Every breath felt heavier.She sat with her knees pulled to her chest, her hair sticking to her face. She hadn’t eaten properly in days, and her body ached in places she didn’t even know could hurt. But it wasn’t hunger that scared her. It was the quiet. The kind that came before something bad.The guards usually changed shifts around dawn, but today they hadn’t come at all. That was when she knew something was wrong.The door at the far end of the corridor opened. A young man stepped through, carrying a bucket and a tray of what barely passed for food. His clothes were plain, patched in several places. He couldn’t have been more than twenty.He paused when he reached her cell. “You’re awake,” he said softly.Elise didn’t answer.He set the tray down inside the c

The corridor leading to the dungeon was darker than usual that night. Torches flickered low, their flames small and unsteady, casting long shadows that stretched like claws across the stone floor. The air smelled of iron, damp earth, and faint despair.Kai walked through it anyway.Every step echoed against the walls — slow, deliberate, heavy. The guards who saw him coming straightened instantly, their eyes flicking between one another. None dared speak. They could see it in his face — the kind of cold silence that meant he didn’t want words.When he reached the final door, the guard standing watch hesitated before unlocking it. “Alpha,” he began cautiously, “she’s… she’s been asking to see you.”Kai didn’t answer. He only stared at the rusted bolts until the man hurried to pull them free.The door creaked open.The smell hit him first — damp stone, faint blood, stale air. Then he saw her.Elise sat against the far wall, her knees drawn close, her wrists still bound by light chains th

Thea didn’t wait for permission.She slammed the door to Kai’s office so hard that even the guards outside flinched.Kai looked up from behind his desk, his eyes bloodshot, the papers in front of him scattered and unread.“What the hell are you doing?” he snapped, voice low but dangerous.“What am I doing?” Thea threw back, her voice trembling. “What are you doing, Kai? You’re letting them destroy her!”Kai’s chair scraped against the floor as he stood. “Watch your tone.”“Don’t tell me to watch my tone!” she shot back, stepping closer. “You think I care about rank right now? She’s rotting in a cell while you sit here pretending this is justice!”His jaw clenched, eyes darkening. “Justice is what she deserves.”“She doesn’t deserve this,” Thea said, shaking her head. “You saw her eyes, Kai. She didn’t betray you.”Kai’s breath came heavier. He turned away, running a hand through his hair like he was trying to calm himself, but his voice broke through tight. “Don’t start, Thea. Not aga
