_Zephyr’s POV_The silence stretched between us like a taut wire, ready to snap. My mother’s chest rose and fell with barely contained fury, her ice-blue eyes blazing with an emotion I’d seen too many times before, rage and something else that cut deeper than any physical blow.Shame.She was ashamed of me.“Get up,” Luna Isolde’s voice was deadly quiet, more terrifying than if she’d screamed. “Get up and explain to me how my heir, my supposedly intelligent, careful heir, managed to get into a fight severe enough to warrant suspension.”I pushed myself to my hands and knees, my cheek still throbbing from her slap. The stone was cold against my palms, grounding me in this moment I wished I could escape. “Mother, I can explain—”“Can you?” She began pacing in front of me like a predator stalking wounded prey. “Can you explain how you nearly exposed everything we’ve worked for? Everything we’ve sacrificed to keep safe?”My blood turned to ice. She knew. Of course she knew. Luna Isolde ha

_Zephyr’s POV_The sound of my door opening pulled me from the darkness. My eyes fluttered, heavy and unwilling to focus. Everything hurt – a deep, throbbing pain that seemed to echo through every bone in my body. I groaned softly, the sound scraping against my dry throat.My wounds were still fresh. I didn’t have a wolf yet, so I couldn’t heal up fast. Every bruise, every ache from my mother’s punishment lingered like a constant reminder of my failures. The beating had left me feeling broken in ways that went far beyond the physical pain.“Your Highness?” A familiar voice, soft and worried reached my ears.I forced my eyes open, blinking against the late afternoon light streaming through my bedroom windows. The room was exactly as I’d left it – elegant and cold, with the white walls and silver accents. Everything perfectly arranged, nothing out of place. A prince’s room, designed to impress visitors and remind me of the standards I was expected to uphold.“Lani?” My voice came out as

_Zephyr’s POV_Alpha Tharlon stepped into the room, and immediately the atmosphere felt heavier, charged with an authority that made my chest tighten with familiar dread. Even injured and exhausted, I could feel his presence pressing down on me like a physical force.My father was an imposing man – tall, broad-shouldered and the kind of commanding presence that made wolves automatically submit. His eyes, the same ice-blue as my mother’s and mine, swept over the room before settling on me with an expression that made my blood run cold.This wasn’t the look of a concerned parent checking on an injured child. This was the gaze of an Alpha who was deeply displeased with his heir.“Lani,” his deep voice rumbled through the room. “Leave us.”“Yes, Alpha,” Lani replied immediately, but I caught the worried glance she shot me before gathering her supplies. She squeezed my shoulder gently – a brief touch of comfort – before hurrying toward the door.The soft click of the door closing behind he

_Kael’s POV_Three days. It had been three miserable days without Zephyr, and I wasn’t even trying to pretend otherwise anymore.I sat in the cafeteria, picking at my food while my eyes automatically drifted to the table where Elias and Finn were sitting. For the hundredth time in three days, I looked for familiar blue eyes and short brown hair, only to remember that he wasn’t there.He wouldn’t be sitting with his friends, laughing at something stupid Finn said or rolling his eyes at Elias’s stories.The empty space where he should have been felt wrong.“You’re doing it again,” Barrett said from across the table.“Doing what?” I asked, though I knew exactly what he meant.“Staring at their table like a lost puppy. It’s weird, man.”I forced myself to look away and focus on my plate. But even the food tasted bland without Zephyr’s presence to make meals interesting. Without him complaining about the academy’s food the last time he sat with me.Everything felt off without him here. God
