CHAPTER 60

DRAKE POVThe second day of Lillian’s absence was a different kind of torture. I tried to focus on the trade folders spread across the council table, but my mind was mikes away, trapped in a clinic, watching her every move through Andre’s eyes.Lucas and Beta Ben sat with me, the three of us focused on the documents in a silence interrupted only by the rustling of papers.“The grain yields from the eastern sector are down fifteen percent from last season,” Ben noted, as he frowned at a report. “We should consider rotating the crops—”A guard entered, cutting him off. “Alpha. An emissary from the Silvermane Pack in here. He requests an audience.”I exchanged a glance with Lucas. The Silvermane Pack was a strong, neutral ally to the north. This was unexpected. “Send him in.”A tall, stern looking man entered and bowed deeply. “Alpha Drake. Thank you for receiving me. I bring a message from my Alpha, Kael.” He produced a sealed scroll from his cloak and handed it to me.I broke the seal

CHAPTER 61

LILLIAN POVThe clinic felt different on the second day. I had finally accepted the heavy security around the clinic. Andre was a constant, silent presence around me, a shadow I was growing used to. But today, my mind wasn’t just on my patients, it was pulled back to the pack house and back to the clinic, to two specific men.My rounds around the hospital felt empty without Drake’s intense, worried stare following me, and without Andre’s quiet, presence at my side. I felt their absence like a physical ache, a strange hollow feeling in my chest even though I was being surrounded by people.My last patient of the day was Baron. I pushed the curtain aside, as Andre took his usual post right outside the corridors, but not after he gave me a worried stare.“Good afternoon, Baron,” I said professionally. “How is the pain today?”He sat up, looking much better. His dark eyes which looked so calculating yesterday, now held a spark of warmth. “Much better, Doctor. Thanks to you. The medication

CHAPTER 62

ANDRE POVI found Lucas already in Drake’s study, leaning against the desk with a mischievous smirk on his face. “Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. How was another day playing shadow?”I ignored the snicker and dropped tiredly into a chair, with the weight of the day heavy on my shoulders. “The clinic was quiet. The patient, Baron, is…recovering. He and Lillian had quite the conversation today.”Lucas’s smirk widened. “Oh? Do tell. Was our mysterious woodworker charming?”“That’s the problem,” I grumbled and ran a hand over my face. “He was. Intelligent. Well-traveled. And he seems genuinely taken with her.”Lucas chuckled. “So the threats are coming from all side now. Eastern Pack scouts, a suspiciously charming patient, and now…” He gestured towards the door to indicate the rest of the pack house. “The Sharon situation.”“The Sharon situation is a disaster,” I said flatly. “She is unhinged. Proposing to him in front of Beta Ben? Does she have no shame?”“Desperation makes pe

CHAPTER 63

DRAKE POVTwo days.They passed in a blur of preparation and a strange hollow silence. The entire pack held its breath, polishing silver, cleaning out guest suites until it was perfect. A tense, expectant energy buzzed through the walls, but it was a noise that echoed in a void.Because she was gone.Not physically. Though Lillian was still in the clinic, still within the pack’s boundaries. But for two days, her presence….the brilliant, messy energy I had become so used to…had been muted. Withdrawn. Andre’s words in the study had been like a poison, and I felt their truth seeping into everything. I was a divided leader, and my division was causing a rift that extended even to her.She was avoiding me. Not in a disrespectful manner, but with a quiet, firm finality that I couldn’t fully understand but was forced to respect. If our paths crossed in a hall, she would drop her gaze hastily with a polite, “Alpha,” before she hurried past. Her scent that was usually a bright mix of lavender

CHAPTER 64

LILLIAN POVA strange, restless energy had been buzzing under my skin for two days. It was not like the familiar warm pull of the mate bond with Andre, or the sharp awareness I felt whenever Drake was near. This was different. It felt like the weather before a bad storm, a heavy, restless sense of anticipation that made my wolf whine softly in the back of my mind.I tried to brush it off. The entire pack was tensed as they prepare of Alpha Kael’s visit and everyone else seemed…excited. Hopeful, even. So I buried the feeling, squeezing it up to with my own mess of emotions.Avoiding Drake had been a necessary survival tactic. After overhearing the bad argument in his office…his confession, Andre’s pain….being near him felt like standing too close to a fire. I could feel the heat, and I knew I would get burned. So, I pulled my energy in, kept my head down, and focused on my work. It was easier for everyone that way.The clinic door opened, and Lucas walked in with his usual lazy smirk i

CHAPTER 65

ANDRE POVThe silence back to the pack house was thicker than the smoke from a blacksmith’s forge. Alpha Kael looked like a man who had just won the lottery, his daughter, Elara, walked in with a dazed look in her eyes, and Drake….Drake moved like a man marching to his own execution.My brother’s face was a mask of stone, but I could see the shock and restlessness in his eyes. He had just been handed every political dream on a silver platter, and it had shattered his world.“Alpha Drake,” Kael called out with a false cheer which pried through the tense silence. “A truly momentous day. The Moon Goddess has blessed both our packs beyond measure.”Drake did not even flinch. He just gave a curt, slight nod. “Andre,” he said roughly, his voice stripped of all emotion. “Please escort our guests to the east wing chambers. Ensure they have everything they require.”It was a dismissal. A desperate plea for a moment alone. I nodded. “Of course, Alpha. Right this way. Alpha Kael, Miss Elara.”I

CHAPTER 66

DRAKE POVThe knock on my door was a disturbance I didn’t want. I stood before the mirror to adjust the collar of my jacket, trying desperately to force the Alpha mask back into place, but the face that stared back at me was a stranger’s….hollow, shrunken, tense. “Enter.”The door swung open to reveal Lucas, leaning against the door frame with his usual playful smirk on his face. Then it wavered slightly when he saw me. “Well, don’t you look like you are going to a funeral instead of a a feast?”“What do you want, Lucas?” I grumbled and turned away from the mirror. “If you are here to mock me, save your breath.”“Mock you? Brother, the universe is doing a far better job of that than I ever could,” he said, and stepped inside. “I just came from the clinic. Thought I should come check on you before the main event. How is the happy couple?”I glared at him angrily. “Don’t.”“Right, sorry. Touchy subject.” He held his hands up in mock surrender before pouring himself a drink from my bar.

CHAPTER 67

LILLIAN POVThe world had not gone back to normal. The four walls of my bedroom seemed to tilt upside down and the low celebratory buzz of music from the great hall below was a cruel, unsettling soundtrack to the end of my world.“He is a fool,” Salome declared as she paced from side to side. “A blessed, idiot fool. To have you and then be handed…that…by fate. The Moon Goddess has a sick sense of humor.”Lydia, perched on the edge of my bed and kept a steady hand on my knee. “It is not his fault, Salome. He didn’t ask for this. None of them did.” She said gently, but it did nothing to soothe the raw. gaping wound in my chest.“He didn’t refuse it either, did he?” Salome shot back, her eyes flashing in anger. “He just stood there and accepted it. In front of everyone. In front of her.” She stopped and looked at me, her anger melting into a puddle of helpless sympathy. “I am sorry, Lily. I am just so angry for you.”I was trying to breathe, to cling to the logical part of my brain that

CHAPTER 68

ANDRE POV“….and with the combined strength of our northern patrols, any invasion from the Silvermane Pack would be nothing short of suicidal,” Alpha Kael said and tapped a thick finger on the table for emphasis. He took a long drink from his wine goblet and his eyes, sharp and calculating, never leaving mine. “This alliance makes us the dominant power in this territory. A new era of stability.”I placed a practiced, diplomatic smile on my face and raised my wine glass. “Luxembourg has always valued stability, Alpha Kael. We look forward to a long and prosperous partnership.” The words tasted like ash on my tongue. Every laugh that echoed through the grand hall, every clink of glass, was a reminder of the personal cost of this ‘prosperous partnership.’My smile felt like a broken mask. My entire focus was divided, a part of me was here at this table, playing the dutiful Beta, and the other part connected to a pain so huge that it hurt my heart so bad. The mate bond with Lillian was a
