Chapter Forty One: Sudden Invitation

Dexter’s POVI stood there long after they left.The hall was too quiet… almost mocking me.I felt Reinhardt’s presence before he even spoke.“You alright?” he asked casually.“No,” I muttered.He nodded. “Figured.”We stood shoulder to shoulder, staring at the floor like two idiots who lost a bet.“She didn’t have to do that,” I muttered under my breath.“She did,” Reinhardt replied, no hesitation. “You crossed a line.”I glared at him.He didn’t flinch.“Dexter,” he continued, voice steady. “You’re a Lance. And whether you like it or not, Lyre is our Princess — not someone we get to… pursue.”I opened my mouth to argue, but he cut me off.“You’re not some rookie soldier. You’re a Lance.”He tapped my chest. “Start acting like one. War could break out any minute. Silverfang, Ashmore, the Veyr Kingdom, maybe all three of them… we have no idea what’s coming.”He stepped back, facial expression softening slightly.“And when that happens, the Lances need you. Not some lovesick idiot.”Hi

Chapter Forty-Two: Frustrated

Lucien’s POV They really thought they fooled me.Everyone in Thornveil cheering like idiots, and Lyre smiling like she’d won the world. The whole arena was loud, chaotic, overflowing with pride and excitement… but I couldn’t enjoy any of it. Not after what happened.I clenched my jaw, sitting alone in the balcony chamber the Thornveil council had given me. My eyes remained fixed on the arena floor, even though the fights had ended hours ago.That masked Alpha.The one who mocked Lyre, dodged her attacks like he was bored, and moved with that annoyingly familiar rhythm.There was no mistaking it.It was Orion.His taunting style, that sarcastic attitude, the way he analyzed his opponent before striking… I’d seen that before, back when we trained under the previous Alpha-King.And they thought a cloth mask was enough to hide that from me?Pathetic.I leaned back in the chair, staring up at the ceiling. They almost made me laugh today. Not in a good way—more like in a frustrated, “I wan

Chapter Forty-Three: An Odd relationship

Roger’s POV Lucien wouldn’t shut up.He paced the room like something had crawled under his skin, muttering about Thornveil and politics as if either mattered to me. I leaned against the pillar, arms crossed, waiting for him to get to the point.“You summoned me for this?” I asked. “Because you’re angry?”Lucien stopped and shot me a look. “I summoned you because something has gone wrong.”That got my attention.“What?” I asked.“Mia Esbond,” he said. “She was in Thornveil.”My posture straightened immediately.“Explain,” I said.“She was masked,” Lucien continued. “But I know it was her. She tried to assassinate me during the trials.”I laughed under my breath. “She wouldn’t miss.”Lucien frowned. “She didn’t get the chance.”“Then she’s learning,” I replied calmly.Lucien studied me, clearly irritated by how little this shocked me.“There’s more,” he said. “The Alpha who won the trials.”I shrugged. “What about him?”Lucien narrowed his eyes. “He fought like someone who’s done this

Chapter Forty-Four: Why Do I feel This Way?

Mia’s POV I was deep asleep when the knock came.At first, I ignored it, pulling the covers closer and turning my face into the pillow. The bed was too comfortable, and for once my mind had gone quiet.The knock came again, louder this time.I groaned and pushed myself up on my elbows. “I’m coming,” I muttered, my voice rough with sleep.Before I could even stand, Reinhardt’s voice came through the door.“Princess Mia,” he said calmly. “You need to get dressed.”I frowned, rubbing my eyes. “It’s the middle of the night.”“It is morning,” he corrected. “And you are required outside.”That got my attention.I swung my legs over the bed and stood. “Required for what exactly?”There was a brief pause on the other side of the door.“The mating ritual,” Reinhardt said. “Between Princess Lyre and the Alpha.”My chest tightened.“…Orion?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.“Yes,” he replied.I stood there for a moment, staring at the door like it might disappear if I ignored it

Chapter Forty Five: Not Even Half-Dragons

Mia’s POV I spun around to see the intruder…but was only greeted by an empty space. What the hell? I felt another presence behind me but when I turned nothing.Great… Now I was running mad. My eyes drifted back to the blood smeared across the walls. I swallowed down the nausea and forced myself to look properly this time.The furniture was broken. The furnace where Draven carved his weapons was shattered, cracked straight through. The place looked like a battlefield after everyone had already left.My chest tightened.What happened here… and where were they?I took a slow breath and stepped further inside.If something was still here, hiding, then standing still wouldn’t save me.I moved carefully, boots crunching softly over broken stone and splintered wood. Every shadow looked wrong. Every corner felt watched. My hand slid to the dagger at my thigh without me thinking about it.“Draven?” I called out quietly.No answer.I passed the main forge and followed the trail of blood as

Chapter Forty-Six: Not Again

Orion’s POVThe celebration dragged on longer than it needed to.I sat beside Lyre, nodding when I was expected to, responding when spoken to, lifting my cup when the others did. Laughter filled the hall, music followed, and the people of Thornveil looked relieved for the first time in years.I should have felt the same.I was glad Lyre was alive. Glad she was still herself, stubborn and sharp-tongued, still able to smile even after everything she had lost. Reuniting with her mattered to me. It always had.But this was not the end of anything. It was only a pause.There were still too many loose ends.Mia.My gaze drifted across the hall again, more obvious this time. Nobles, warriors, servants, even a few pack elders lingering near the edges. I scanned faces, cloaks, corners.She was not here.At first, I told myself she had stepped outside. Mia hated crowds, hated rituals, hated anything that smelled like politics. It would not be strange for her to disappear halfway through.Still,

Chapter Forty-Seven: When Dragons Scream

Mia's POVThe footsteps stopped.I pressed myself against the wall, dagger ready, every muscle coiled tight. Draven's breathing was shallow behind me, each exhale wet and rattling."Stay quiet," I whispered.He didn't answer. Couldn't answer, probably.The silence stretched too long. My heartbeat thundered in my ears, so loud I was sure whoever was out there could hear it.Then a voice cut through the darkness, calm and cold."Mia Esbond. Daughter of the heretic."I froze.The voice continued, footsteps resuming. "You can hide, but it won't matter. Your father's sins have marked you. The church has come to collect."Church?My grip tightened on the dagger. I didn't know which church, didn't know what they wanted, but I knew one thing for certain—they weren't here to talk.A shadow moved across the doorway.Then another.Then three more.Five figures stepped into the chamber, dressed in dark robes lined with silver thread. Their faces were covered by masks carved to look like weeping s

Chapter Forty-Eight: The Weight of Crowns

Orion's POVGetting back to Thornveil was harder than leaving it.Draven could barely stand, let alone walk. We had to strap him to Sylvie's back, and even then, every beat of her wings made him groan. Mia sat in front of him, one hand holding him steady, the other clutching that damned letter like it might disappear if she let go.She hadn't said a word since we left the hideout.Not one.I'd tried talking to her twice. She didn't respond. Just stared ahead, jaw tight, eyes distant.I knew that look.She was spiraling.Normally, I'd make some stupid joke to snap her out of it. But this wasn't the time. Not after what she'd just learned.Roger is my uncle.The churches want me.My father traded me away.Any one of those would break someone. All three at once?Yeah. Silence made sense.Sylvie descended slowly as we approached Thornveil's outer walls. The guards spotted us immediately—hard not to notice a massive silver dragon landing in the middle of the night.By the time we touched d

Chapter Forty-Nine: Into the Wilds

Orion's POVI didn't sleepEvery time I closed my eyes, I saw the hideout. The blood. Draven barely breathing. Mia's face when she read that letter.Roger is my uncle.I sat by the window in my chambers, watching the sky shift from black to deep blue to the pale gray of pre-dawn. Somewhere out there, Alastor Veyr was waiting. Whether he knew we were coming or not didn't matter.We'd find him.And when we did, he'd talk.I stood, stretched, and started checking my gear. Blade, sharp. Daggers, secured. Armor, light enough to move but strong enough to matter.I paused at the small silver emblem tucked into my coat pocket—the one I used to call Ramiris. My fingers brushed against it, then pulled away.Not yet.A soft knock came at the door."It's open," I called.Mirabel stepped inside, already dressed for travel. Her armor was dark and practical, her spear strapped across her back. She looked me over once, then nodded."You're ready," she said. It wasn't a question."Always am."She rais

Chapter Fifty: The Sun's Shadow

Mia's POVThe moment I saw him, my blood ran cold.White hair. That confident smirk. The way he moved like the world owed him something.It was him.The man from Thornveil. The one who'd disappeared mid-fight like smoke.My hand went to my dagger before I could think."You," I said, voice sharp.Alastor's smile widened. "Ah. You remember me. I'm flattered.""Flattered?" I stepped forward, anger burning through my chest. "You attacked me in Thornveil. You knew my name. You—""Tested you," he interrupted smoothly. "And you passed. Barely."I lunged.Orion caught my arm before I could reach him. "Mia, wait—""Let go of me," I snapped, trying to pull free."Not until you calm down."I glared at him, then at Alastor, who just stood there looking amused."She's got spirit," Alastor said. "Varick would be proud."That stopped me cold."What did you just say?"Alastor's expression shifted, the amusement fading into something more serious."Your father," he said quietly. "Varick Esbond. I knew
