Indira's POV The morning air was unusually crisp, carrying a promise of change on its wings. I stood by the balcony of my room, watching the sunlight dance over the treetops of Blackmist territory. The lands stretched endlessly, veiled in golden mist. For a moment, I allowed myself to breathe—truly breathe—as if the vision of beauty below was mine to rule.Soon, it would be.My fingers curled around the carved stone balustrade, knuckles white with anticipation. Today was the day. The final piece of my plan would finally fall into place.Lady Serena—the ever-noble, ever-suspicious thorn in my side—was leaving.Gone on yet another one of her pointless “adventures,” chasing moon spirits or ancient prophecies or whatever eccentric nonsense occupied her regal mind. And when she left... she wouldn’t return.I smiled faintly, lips curling with satisfaction.The poison had already been prepared and mixed into the small jar of her favorite herbal tincture. The very one she never traveled witho

Kira’s POV The scent of cinnamon rolls and fresh coffee greeted me as I pushed through the back door of the bakery, tying the apron around my waist with shaky hands. A part of me felt relief — grateful, even — to have something simple and warm to hold onto. The other part? Still tangled up in the mess that was this morning.Viktor .Just thinking his name made my stomach knot. I had barely gotten a few bites of breakfast before our conversation — if you could even call it that — had ended with me storming into the bathroom to avoid looking at him. His words from last night still echoed in my ears, cutting deeper than I cared to admit.“I didn’t ask you to stay.”I didn’t belong in his world. And I definitely didn’t want to be a charity case under his roof.But I needed this job. I needed the paycheck. I needed an escape plan.The bell over the door chimed as customers trickled in. I plastered on a polite smile and greeted the first one — an older woman with gray streaks in her hair a

Viktor's POV I could still remember the first time I found out that Kira was Titan’s mate.I felt a surge for revenge. Maybe I could finally get back at Titan for killing the woman I loved and cherished the most in the world.But when I saw how broken she looked I felt a strong sense of familiarity with her.I felt the urge to protect her. She was lost and desperate for help. Seeing her in such a state made me reminisce the moment I had lost Zoya.For a very long time I was an empty shell just breathing and living. I had no purpose; it took a lot of effort to get to where I was now. I felt determined to help her get through the heart ache and pain she was going through.But seeing the look of disappointment in her eyes when she accused me of working for the man I hated the most crushed me.I had kept something huge from her. Her trust In me has completely dwindled.My thoughts were occupied with how to reconcile with Kira and make her understand that I have no ill intentions towards

Viktor's POV.The moment I closed the bathroom door behind me, my entire body tensed with unease.I had told Kira to stay put, and to my surprise, she actually listened. Maybe it was the alcohol or something else, either way I was glad she listened to me for once.I took a deep breath and stepped into the hallway, all my senses ense on high alert.The hallway lights flickered again causing my stomach twist with unease.Slowly, I scanned the narrow corridor. Nothing seemed out of place, yet my instincts screamed otherwise.The air felt different. The house was unusually cold.And then I saw it.The window in the kitchen was left wide open.I knew without a shadow of a doubt I hadn’t left it that way.Someone had been here.I moved fast but silently, checking behind the curtains, inside the pantry, anywhere someone could hide, but there was nothing.Seeing that none was in the house did not seem to ease the knot forming in myy chest as I wondered who could be bold enough to do such a th

Kira's POV The dull throb in my head was the first thing I noticed as soon as I woke up.I blinked a few times, my vision blurry at first, the ceiling above me unfamiliar until it slowly morphed into the one I knew too well, I was in my room.I winced, my fingers instinctively going to my temple. What happened? The last thing I remembered was Viktor yelling at me to get down… then pain, sharp and blinding, and then… nothing.Just then, the door creaked open.Viktor stepped inside, his face immediately softening when he saw me sitting up. There was a flicker of relief in his eyes."You're awake," he said quietly, stepping closer."What happened?" I asked, my voice hoarse. "Why was someone trying to break in again?"Viktor sat on the edge of my bed, his hand grazing mine for a moment before he pulled away. "It wasn't a break-in. One of the neighbors… he has episodes sometimes, especially when the full moon is near. He thought he saw something dangerous and got worked up. He didn’t mean
