LalaIf I want to protect Kael without him even knowing it yet, then I cannot afford to be reckless.So I inhale slowly, smoothing my hair back, and I practice the expression I am going to wear, something softer, like a love struck fool, something that will not raise suspicion.Tch! Even the thought of it annoys me.By the time I step out of my room and into the corridor, I have already lowered my gaze. I do not walk with the same defiance I used to, I can't risk being Lala Robinson at this point, acknowledging greetings with a faint nod.When I reach the main hall, Josen is already there, speaking with two elders. His posture is relaxed, his tone even, and when he notices me approaching, his eyes flicker with mild curiosity.I stop a few steps away, bow my head slightly, and wait.The elders excuse themselves, leaving us alone.“You are quiet this morning,” he says, tilting his head just a little as he studies me.I force a small smile, keeping my eyes lowered for a moment longer bef

KaelI do not plan to confront her, it just happens. One moment I am standing near the entrance of the pack hall pretending to listen to a report about patrol rotations, and the next moment I see her walking out alone, her steps quiet, her head slightly lowered like she has been doing these past few days. Something in me snaps before I can talk myself out of it.“Continue without me,” I tell the warrior in front of me, already moving.He calls my name once, confused, but I ignore him.I follow her around the side of the hall, past the stacked crates and the stone wall where the shadows stretch longer in the late afternoon light. The air smells like wood smoke and damp earth, and I can hear distant laughter from the training grounds, normal sounds, ordinary sounds, and it irritates me that the world is carrying on like nothing is shifting beneath my feet.“Lala.”She stops.For a second she does not turn around, and that pause alone tightens something painfully inside my chest.Then sh

LalaMy hands shake when I knock on his door, and my heart has been pounding since sunset. I balance the tray carefully, two glasses and a dark bottle resting on it, the liquid inside catching the candlelight as if it is nothing more than ordinary wine. I inhale once, steadying myself, and when I hear his voice from inside telling me to enter, I push the door open with a calm I do not entirely feel.Josen is seated near the hearth, one leg crossed over the other, papers spread across the low table in front of him. He looks up when I walk in, and the slow smile that forms on his lips makes my skin crawl even though I return a softer version of it.“You came yourself,” he says, watching me closely. “I could have sent someone.”“I wanted to,” I reply gently, setting the tray down. “You looked tired earlier.”He studies my face for a moment as if trying to decide whether there is more behind my words. I lower my eyes just enough to appear shy without looking suspicious, and then I pour th

KaelI know it is her before she even knocks.There is something about the way her presence brushes against my senses, soft but steady, and even with the poison dragging through my veins I still feel it. I push myself up from the edge of the bed, ignoring the dull pull in my abdomen, and say, “Come in,” trying to make my voice sound normal.She slips inside quickly and closes the door behind her, then locks it.That makes my chest tighten.“Why are you locking my door?” I ask, watching her carefully.Her eyes find mine, and there is no softness in them tonight, and something that looks dangerously close to relief.“I don’t have much time,” she says, walking toward me. “You need to listen to me without interrupting.”I almost laugh at that, but the look on her face stops me. She reaches into the folds of her dress and pulls out a small glass vial filled with pale blue liquid.My breath catches.“What is that?” I ask quietly.“The antidote,” she replies.For a second I just stare at it,

LalaThe corridor feels longer than usual as I make my way back to the pack house, and even though I keep my pace steady, my heart is still racing from everything that just happened. The night air is cool against my skin, and it helps a little, but not enough to quiet the fear crawling at the back of my mind. I keep replaying every step, every movement in Josen’s chambers, wondering if I left something out of place, if I forgot to smooth the cloth back properly inside the chest, if the key is sitting at a slightly different angle under the mantle.“You did everything right,” I whisper to myself as I climb the steps.Still, doubt lingers.The guards at the entrance nod when they see me, their expressions respectful, and I give them a soft smile as if nothing in the world is out of order. I have learned how to wear this calm like a second skin. Inside, though, my stomach twists painfully.If he wakes early.If he checks the chest immediately.If he notices the difference before morning.

KaelIt has been a week since I drank the antidote, and I can no longer pretend this recovery is ordinary.The first two days, I moved carefully, expecting the familiar stab in my ribs, the burn in my lungs, the cough that left blood on my palm. It did not come. By the fourth day, I was running the perimeter at dawn without stopping to catch my breath. By the seventh, Derek is no longer a faint presence curled in pain inside me. He stands tall, alert, almost restless.This morning, when I step into the training grounds, the air feels sharper, clearer. I inhale deeply and there is no resistance in my chest. The warriors pause when they see me remove my tunic and toss it aside.“Who is sparring?” I ask.They exchange glances. One of them, Tomas, steps forward cautiously. “With you?”“Yes, with me,” I reply, unable to stop the small smile tugging at my mouth. “Unless you are afraid I will break.”A few of them laugh nervously.We circle each other. Tomas lunges first, fast and low. I piv

LALAI wake to clanging boots and shouting voices echoing through the halls. My heart thumps against my ribs as I throw on a simple tunic, tugging my hair back into a messy braid. Only when there's someone to execute do they make such noise, who's unlucky today?The hallways are empty when I slip out, my feet silent against the cold stone, but the sounds are drawing closer.As I turn the corner into the main courtyard, I freeze. Kael is dragging someone behind him—a girl, smaller than him, struggling, but she does not seem weak. The sunlight catches the pale strands of her hair and the sharp defiance in her eyes. My stomach tightens. The guards, usually so rigid and composed, scatter nervously, leaving a clear path for Kael to storm straight toward the pack house doors.Josen steps forward, his posture rigid, hands tightening at his sides. He stares at both Kael and the familiar figure, the room thick with anticipation. The other pack and council members hover at the edges, unsure, te

LALA“Tona,” I finally breathe out, I keep my hands relaxed at my sides, though my heart is hammering in my chest.She flinches slightly at the edge in my voice, as if the quiet force behind it cuts deeper than any accusation. “Do you have any idea what I’ve lost because of you? Because of the night Goldenrod died and two hundred lives were wiped out, and I was forced to bear the blame? Tell me, Tona, do you even know?”Her gaze lifts, meeting mine now, and I see something raw there, a mixture of fear, shame, and regret. She swallows and takes a hesitant step toward me, and I feel the tension in the air shift slightly, like the world is holding its breath with us. “I didn’t mean for you to suffer like that,” she admits, voice trembling. “Goldenrod killed my family. I survived, and… I wanted revenge. I used my magic—I didn’t know how else to stop him. I thought I could control it, but…” She falters, and I wait, forcing her to keep going.“You let me take the fall,” I say, voice quiete

KAELI let my gaze sweep over the room, taking in the council members, the pack warriors, the lingering presence of Josen, whose expression is calm but sharp, like a blade hidden beneath silk.“Tona,” I say, voice carrying without shouting, firm enough to draw attention but precise, leaving no room for doubt. “You are under arrest for your role in the massacre of Alpha Goldenrod’s pack, the deaths of two hundred people that you orchestrated and allowed Lala to take the blame for.”Her eyes widen, and the faint tremor in her jaw betrays the composure she’s trying so hard to maintain. She had always been careful, always calculating, but now the walls of her control are starting to crumble. Tona swallows, stepping back slightly, caught between defiance and the inevitable. “Kael… I—”“Silence,” I say, my voice hard enough to shut down any last flicker of protest. “The council will judge you. You will have your trial, and the truth will be laid bare.”I gesture, and the guards step forwar

LALAIt’s quiet. For the first time in what feels like forever, the pack house feels like home again. The morning sun filters softly through the windows, dust motes dancing lazily in the light. I breathe it in, the air heavy with the smell of pine from the courtyard and the faint tang of iron from the training halls. Kael is beside me, I had gone back home with him after Josen was taken away.For a week, this has been ours — a fragile peace we didn’t dare believe in, but are clinging to nonetheless.We walk slowly through the gardens, hands brushing occasionally, lingering in ways that feel stolen, intimate, yet somehow allowed. I keep glancing at him, the curve of his jaw, the calm steadiness in his eyes. Kael glances at me, that faint half-smile tugging at his lips, and I feel it — the pulse of affection, the subtle warmth of something like normal. We sit on the low stone wall near the fountain, the trickle of water a soft background hum to the quiet conversation we share. I try to
