The messenger’s warning hung in the air, “Three days.”Rael’s roar shook the walls. “Get out!” he snarled, and the messenger fled.My cool act fell apart. I slammed my fist into the stone. “This is a trap. No matter what we do, we’re cornered.”Rael’s chest heaved. His eyes burned. “Then we drag the poisoner out and gut them for all to see!”He commanded his Beta. “Brynjar! Search every hall, every chamber. Tear this palace apart if you have to!”Silas, ever cautious, spoke carefully. “We can’t just throw claws blindly. We have one lead, Lucan. He’s the one who should be questioned.”I stepped forward, jaw tight. “Then I’ll go to Lucan myself.”Rael let out a short, bitter laugh. “Perfect. Go play diplomat with a snake. See how far that gets you.”He turned for the doors.Seraphine blocked his path. “Rael, where are you going?“To cool my head,” he snapped. His tone dropped heavy. “Or better, away from this nonsense.”“You can’t just walk away from this!” I snarled after him.Rael gl

I shoved the door open. The air in the room was thick and heavy. Kael was bent over the map, gripping the table's edge so hard his knuckles were white.Brynjar stood by the fireplace, still as a stone, arms crossed. His jaw was tight. Silas, Kael's usually calm Beta, was gone, probably already working on some plan I didn't know about yet.They both looked up as I walked in. The pressure in their stares felt like a punch.Well?” Kael’s voice was stripped of all its usual mockery. It was flat, hard. “Did you find your answers at the bottom of a bottle?”I ignored the dig and went to the table. The map showed our northern border, the villages Stonepeak had threatened to burn. Every mark was a town that could be destroyed."The bottle didn't have answers," I said, meeting his hard look. "Just more questions. We're thinking about this the wrong way.”“Enlighten us,” Kael shot back, straightening up. “Because from here, it looks like we have two and a half days before a good portion of our

Kael's POVAurora quickly moved to support me, slipping under my arm to hold me up. I wanted to shrug her off and act like I was fine, but my legs were shaking so much I nearly pulled us both down."Stop fighting it," she said, her voice tight with concern. "You're only making it harder."I clenched my teeth, holding back a cry as pain burned through my chest.Everything became a blur as we moved through the halls. She kept a firm grip around me, her other hand pressed against my side as if she could keep me from falling apart.By the time we reached my chamber, I was drenched in sweat. She kicked the door shut behind us and half-pulled me toward the bed. Aurora knelt in front of me, eyes fierce. “What is happening to you, Kael? Don’t tell me it’s nothing I saw your brother, I saw the blood. You both looked like you were being ripped apart.”I forced a weak laugh, though it sounded more like a choke. “We’ve had worse.”“Don’t you dare joke.” Her hands caught my face, cool against my

Aurora’s POVThe truce with Brom ended with a snarl that still shook the air between our packs. His threat lingered, strength proved in blood.The twins moved ahead of me, like wolves guarding a border.Kael’s silence was a growl you could feel more than hear. Rael’s every step twitched, ready to strike. Their anger pressed against my skin, sharp as lightning, heavy as storm air.The pack felt it, it was weakness. Left unchecked, it would eat us alive.Their fury was the cure.I stepped closer, my voice low beneath the storm of their anger.“The pack smells your anger,” I said. “They think it is fear. They think the Alphas are wounded and circling.”Rael’s head snapped to me, gold flashing in his eyes. A low rumble stirred in his chest. Kael’s gaze pressed cold against me, measuring.I didn’t look away. “Let them smell your sweat, not their fear,” I said.“Let them hear claws clash, not whimpers. The training sands. Show them the storm. Show them it’s for our enemies, not for them.”Ra

I blinked, pulse racing. “I..I already said. From…”“Don’t lie.” His tone cut like glass.Kael’s eyes narrowed slightly, studying me in a way that felt too careful, too exact. He wore a black shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off the detailed tattoos on his arm. He was strong and commanding, but there was something almost gentle in the way he looked at me.“No maid reacts like you did earlier. Not unless they’ve had training.”“I didn’t…” My voice cracked. I swallowed hard, wishing the floor would just open and swallow me whole.Rael stepped closer, invading my space. His tight tank top that showed off his tattoos and muscles. His blonde hair was perfectly messy, A leather jacket hung from his shoulders, but it didn’t hide how powerful he looked. Everything about him seemed dangerous, and the way he stared made me feel like he already owned me.“So what are you? A spy? An assassin hiding in plain sight?”The word assassin made my stomach lurch. My mouth went dry. “N-no. I’m
