Kaelen POVI'd been tracking Selene since she fled the clearing. While everyone else focused on the battle's aftermath, on tending wounded and counting dead, I focused on the one who'd started it all.She couldn't be allowed to escape, not after everything she'd done."Ghost," I said to my wolf as I shifted. "Time to hunt."My white wolf form was perfect for this. Deceptively innocent-looking. Easy to underestimate until it was too late.I picked up Selene's trail easily. She'd run in wolf form, heading east toward the neutral territories. Smart. If she reached neutral ground before we caught her, she could claim sanctuary. Disappear into the wilderness. Live free while Beatrice lived with the scars she'd caused. Not happening.I followed her scent through the forest, moving silently. This was what I was good at. Tracking. Hunting. Eliminating threats before they could harm my family.After an hour, I reached a river crossing. Selene had stopped here, probably to drink and rest. Her p

Beatrice POVFew days after Selene's exile, a messenger arrived requesting an audience on behalf of Eamon Riven. "Tell him no," Theron said immediately."Wait," I said. "Let him come, i want to hear what he has to say.""Beatrice," Darius said carefully. "Are you sure? He rejected you. Humiliated you so you don't owe him anything.""I know," I said. "But I need closure. I need to see him one last time and confirm that whatever I felt for him is completely dead.""And if it's not dead?" Kaelen asked."Then I deal with it," I said. "But I think it is. I think the moment he rejected me, the bond died.""Fine," Theron said. "But we're there with you. And if he steps out of line""You can kill him," I finished. "I know, I appreciate the protective instinct, but I can handle Eamon."The next day, Eamon was escorted into a private receiving room. I sat with Darius on one side and Theron on the other. My other brothers stood near the exits, making their presence known.Eamon looked terrible.

Beatrice POVThe Council chamber felt different this time. Less hostile, more expectant. I sat in my designated seat at the curved table, flanked by my brothers. Across from us, thirteen alpha lords watched with varying degrees of interest and respect.Lord Brennan stood to call the session to order. "We gather today for official business regarding Princess Beatrice Wynter and her formal recognition by this Council."My pulse quickened but I kept my face neutral. Beside me, Theron's hand brushed mine under the table in silent support."Three months ago, we verified her bloodline," Brennan continued. "Two months ago, she demonstrated her extraordinary abilities. One week ago, she helped defend Wynterhold against an unprecedented attack. I believe it's time we made her status official and uncontested.""Agreed," Lord Edmund of the Northern Peaks said immediately. He was an older alpha with red streaking his dark hair. "The girl has proven herself ten times over. What more do we need?""

Silas POVThe Council session had run long, tedious debates about border adjustments and trade routes that could have been resolved in half the time. By the time Brennan finally called adjournment, my patience had worn thin.I gathered my documents and headed for the door, already planning which fires to put out first in my office. "Silas," Helena called. "A moment?"I turned. She stood near the windows, backlit by afternoon sun. The other Council members filed past us, too absorbed in their own concerns to pay attention."What do you need?" I asked, keeping my voice professional."I thought we could review the Eastern trade proposals together," Helena said. "You had some concerns about the tariff structures.""We can discuss it tomorrow," I said. "I have other matters to attend to.""It'll only take an hour," Helena pressed. "And we work better together than separately. You know that."She was right, but something in her tone made me cautious. This wasn't just about trade proposals.

Beatrice POVI woke to sunlight streaming through the windows and Darius's arm heavy across my waist. For a moment I just lay there, breathing in the peace of it. No urgent summons. No Council meetings. No enemies plotting in the shadows.Just a quiet morning with the man I loved. “You're thinking too loud," Darius mumbled against my shoulder. "I can feel it through the bond.""Sorry," I said. "I'm just enjoying the calm.""Then stop analyzing it and actually enjoy it," Darius said. He pulled me closer, nuzzling into my neck. "We have at least two hours before anyone will come looking for you.""Two whole hours," I said. "What should we do with all that time?""I have some ideas," Darius said as his hand slid down my side suggestively.I laughed and turned to face him. "We did that twice last night, you can't possibly""I'm a wolf," Darius interrupted. "I have excellent stamina. Want me to prove it?"He kissed me again, deeper this time, tongue sliding against mine in slow strokes. Hi
