Beatrice POV "Yes," Theron said firmly. "She did.""Brother," Kaelen said slowly. "Why do you have lipstick on your collar?"Theron's hand flew to his neck. Sure enough, there was a faint mark of color on his shirt collar."I don't," Theron said."You absolutely do," Silas said, leaning closer. "Is that coral? That's definitely coral. Liora was wearing coral lipstick today.""This is inappropriate dinner conversation," Theron said, his ears turning red."So you admit there's something to discuss," Kaelen said, grinning."I admit nothing," Theron said."You're a terrible liar," I told him. "Always have been. So what's happening with you and Liora?"Theron was quiet for a long moment. Then he sighed. "We've been spending time together. Talking and getting to know each other.""And kissing, apparently," Silas added."And that," Theron admitted. "But it's complicated, we haven't defined anything yet.""Why not?" I asked. "You clearly like her. She clearly likes you. What's complicated ab

Beatrice POVThe next morning started before dawn. Theron woke me and Darius personally, his face grim in the lamplight."War council in the main hall," he said. "Twenty minutes, kindly dress for combat."I was awake instantly, the weight of last night's news settling over me like armor. "I'll be there."Darius and I dressed quickly, both of us silent. The happiness of the past few weeks felt distant now, replaced by something harder. More focused."Are you okay?" Darius asked as we walked to the hall."No," I admitted. "But I will be, i have to be."The main hall was packed. Not just my brothers, but commanders, advisors, and senior warriors from across our territory. Maps covered every table, markers showing troop positions and supply routes."Lady Beatrice," one of the commanders said as I entered. "We're honored by your presence.""I'm not here to be honored," I said, moving to the main table. "I'm here to help. What do we know?"Theron gave me an approving look before turning to

Darius POVBeatrice had been training nonstop for five days. I watched her push herself harder than anyone should, barely sleeping, barely eating. She was running herself into the ground."That's enough," I said, appearing in the doorway of the training room where she was practicing magic control with Corin."We're not done," she protested, light flickering around her hands."Yes, you are," I said firmly. "You're exhausted, you need a break.""I need to be ready," she argued. "The enemy could attack any day now and I'm still losing control of my powers half the time.""Which is why you need rest," Corin said gently. "Exhaustion makes control harder, not easier. Take a day off and come back stronger.""Listen to your brother," I said. "And your mate, come with me.""Where?" she asked suspiciously."Somewhere peaceful," I said. "Somewhere you can breathe. Trust me."She looked at Corin, who nodded encouragingly. "Go. I'll cover for you with Theron.""Fine," she said, the light fading. "

Beatrice POVI was in the training yard the next morning when the air changed. A strange pressure built, making my skin prickle with awareness. The other wolves felt it too, all of them going still and alert."What is that?" I asked Kaelen, who was helping me with sword work."Magic," he said, his eyes scanning the perimeter. "Old magic."A figure appeared at the gates. Tall and draped in robes that seemed to shimmer like moonlight. Her hair was white but her face was ageless, neither young nor old."High Priestess Ysara," Theron said, appearing beside me. "She's here.""Why?" I asked, watching the woman approach. Something about her made Luna stir restlessly inside me."I don't know," Theron admitted. "But when the High Priestess makes an unannounced visit, it's never good news."We met her in the main hall. All my brothers assembled, Darius at my side. Ysara moved with an otherworldly grace, her eyes seeming to see things beyond the physical world. "Lady Beatrice," she said, her voi

Beatrice POVYsara woke me before dawn the next morning by throwing open my bedroom curtains with magic. Darius groaned beside me, pulling a pillow over his head."Up," Ysara commanded from the doorway. "We have work to do.""It's still dark out," I protested."The enemy won't wait for convenient training hours," Ysara said. "Get dressed and meet me in the grove in ten minutes."She left, and I dragged myself out of bed. Every muscle ached from yesterday's training."Do you want me to come with you?" Darius asked, sitting up."No," I said, kissing him. "Get some more sleep, one of us should be functional today.""Be careful," he said. "Don't push too hard.""That's literally the entire point of this training," I reminded him. "But I'll be careful."I dressed quickly and made my way to the sacred grove. Ysara was already there, standing in the center of the stone circle."Today we work on defense," she announced. "You have offensive power in abundance. But can you protect yourself? Pro
