Jessie's POVPain,That was the first thing I felt when I woke up.Not tiredness, but a sharp pain in my head. It felt like someone was hammering hot nails into my skull.I groaned and tried to move, but my body felt like it belonged to someone else. My limbs were heavy, and I was unresponsive. My mouth was dry as dust, my throat was raw like I had been screaming for hours.Where was I?I forced my eyes open and blinked against the soft, sourceless light. Books, thousands of them. The desk. The candles, now nothing but puddles of hardened wax.The hidden library.Memory crashed over me like a wave. The spell. The blood memory. Victoria's murder. My father burning alive, and the vision of myself, consumed by vengeance."Oh God," I whispered.I tried to sit up, but I immediately regretted it. The room spun violently. I pressed my hand to my forehead, trying to steady myself, and felt something crusty and dried there.It was blood.My own blood, from where I must have hit the floor when

Jessie's POVThe car ride to the courthouse was the longest thirty minutes of my life.I sat in the back seat, my father was beside me, his hand was holding mine so tightly. Lisa had insisted on coming, sitting on my other side; her presence was a quiet comfort. Gaty had tried to join us too, but my father had firmly told her to stay behind and help coordinate, informing the pack that I was safe.James drove with a speed that would have terrified me under normal circumstances, moving through traffic like we were in an action movie. But even his skilled driving felt too slow."Talk," my father commanded, his Alpha authority made it impossible to refuse. "Where have you been for four days, Jessie? And do not even think about lying to me. I will know."I had prepared a story during the rush downstairs, merged from half-truths and careful omissions. The hidden library had to remain hidden. The blood magic had to remain secret. Some truths were too dangerous to share, even with my father.

Jessie's POVThe courtroom felt like it was holding its breath as I settled into the witness stand. Every eye was on me, the jury, the packed gallery, the reporters with their pens poised over notebooks. But most intensely, I felt Ethan's gaze, burning with desperate hope.I took a deep breath and began."I will start by saying that the killer of Victoria Chen is here."The courtroom erupted. There was a gasp through the gallery. The prosecutor shot to her feet, her face was triumphant."Of course!" she declared, pointing at Ethan. "The defendant is right there, Your Honor. This witness is simply confirming.""But just like you all think," I interrupted, my voice rose above the noise, looking at the prosecutor with a very contained anger before turning back to address the court, "Alpha Ethan is innocent."The prosecutor's mouth snapped shut. Judge Blackthorn banged his gavel. "Order! Everyone will remain silent, or I will clear this courtroom!"The noise died down to whispers. I conti

Jessie's POV As Derek left the witness stand, he passed close to where I sat. Our eyes met again, and this time he mouthed two words that only I could see."I am sorry."I didn't respond. I couldn't respond. My mind was still reeling from everything that had just happened.Derek had just provided Ethan with a verified alibi. Had just admitted to assaulting me, opening himself up to criminal charges. Had just potentially saved an innocent man's life.The question was still why?But I didn't have time to analyze his motivations. Because Judge Blackthorn was looking at me again, her expression was grave."Princess Jessie, you may return to the stand."I stood, smoothing my dress, trying to project confidence that I didn't entirely feel. This was the crucial moment. The blood-stained cloth. The evidence that would either save Ethan or condemn us all as liars."Princess Jessie," Judge Blackthorn began once I was seated, "you mentioned physical evidence. I assume you are referring to more

Jessie's POVThe one hour felt longer than any prison sentence.The courtroom was packed again when the bailiff called everyone back to order. Everywhere was thick with tension, like the entire room was holding its breath. Ethan sat very rigid beside Attorney Richard, and his eyes were fixed on the judge’s bench.Judge Blackthorn entered, her expression was unreadable.“All rise.”We stood. Then sat.She folded her hands. “Officer Harris, do we have the preliminary forensic results?”“Yes, Your Honor.”At that moment, every sound faded. Even my heartbeat seemed too loud.Officer Harris handed him a folder. Judge Blackthorn opened it, her eyes carefully scanning the pages. The courtroom was so silent that I could hear my own heartbeat.Finally, the judge looked up. "According to the forensic report, the DNA found on the cloth submitted by Princess Jessie is neither Alpha Ethan's nor matches any DNA in our database, including Maria Blackwood's."My heart sank. The test was negative. The
