Scarlett's POV"What's the matter?" I glanced at Kathleen, who sat directly next to me with a heavy sigh.Kathleen rolled her eyes. "Those neighboring packs are starting to question you. They say you're not leading on your own—that you're only Lucien's puppet. They don't believe the rumors about how you led Nightshade and commanded them directly when they were about to be attacked by rogues. They just dismissed those tales and say that whatever strength Nightshade has, it comes from Lucien, not you. That you're just riding on his coattails."I raised my brows and couldn't help but chuckle. "It's fine. Just let them be. They want to believe whatever rumors they want to believe. Anyway, they prefer stories about me that aren't even true. Just let them be."Behind me, a chair scraped sharply against the tiles. Lucien had risen before Kathleen could respond. His voice was thunder when he spoke. "Who dares to fucking question her?"The air vibrated with the fury he was holding back. His wo

Scarlett's POVJust as I expected, the news of Alexander's sudden appearance had already traveled quickly. By the time Lucien and I returned from patrol, the corridors were filled with murmurs. Servants bowed their heads as I passed, but their eyes lingered, heavy with questions they dared not speak, thinking I wouldn't notice their sneaking glances.The mark on my skin pulsed faintly, as if mocking me for trying to resist, for attempting to break the bond that the Moon Goddess had bestowed upon us.It was no longer burning intensely as it had that night, but the mark was still there. The scars were still there, an old wound disguised as flesh."I'm guessing he did this on purpose," Lucien said, his voice low and his jaw clenched.I nodded solemnly. "He surely did it on purpose—to make it seem like there are still ties between us, that Nightshade and Crescent Moon are seen together—looking as though we're plotting something, forming an alliance."Lucien's eyes darkened. "He certainly

Scarlett's POVI watched as two younger men looked at each other before advancing side by side, their blades raised."We'll fight you both," one said boldly.Kathleen's eyes widened. "Don't tell me you're going to accept—"I didn't let her finish and smiled at the two. "Okay, come on.""You're crazy!" I heard Kathleen exclaim, but she didn't try to stop me—in fact, her tone was full of excitement, as if she couldn't wait to see what would happen.The two rushed at me in unison once I gave permission. One came from the left, the other from the right. I blocked, spun, and struck—each movement flowing as naturally as breath. Their blades clashed against my staff, but I pressed on, forcing them back step by step."You'll have to coordinate better than that if you want to defeat me," I taunted."Don't underestimate us!" one snapped, swinging a high blow—but his partner was a moment too late, and their positions were thrown off. I shoved one into the other and knocked them both sprawling in

Lucien's POVBlood.Too much of it.It soaked through the linen I pressed against her shoulder, seeping between my fingers no matter how tightly I held on. My hands shook—hands that had cut down a dozen rogues without flinching now trembled because the woman in front of me refused to stay still."Scarlett," I growled, low. "Stop moving."She winced, sucking in a breath, but her chin lifted stubbornly. "Others need it more. You should—""No." My voice snapped, harsher than I intended. I forced it lower, steadier, though my chest still heaved. "You're bleeding out in front of me, and you think I'll see to someone else first? Don't test me, Scarlett."Her eyes softened, not because she yielded, but with a look that tore at me harder than the blood on her skin."Lucien," I heard her whisper. "I'm fine.""You're not fine," I bit out. I pressed another strip of linen into the hole in her shoulder, watching crimson spread through white. My wolf raged at the sight, claws raking my insides. "I

Scarlett's POVThe night air was crisp and cool. I couldn't sleep, even though I wanted to. I was still thinking about the events that would happen tomorrow. I leaned against the balcony rail, feeling the cool breeze hit my face and help clear my mind.Tomorrow it is. The bond dissolution.It should have felt like freedom. It should have been a relief for me—after all, I had been waiting for this to happen. However, I felt… my chest ached, and I couldn't help but feel nervous at the same time.The memory of that burn still haunted me. I couldn't count how many nights and days I had spent enduring the pain—enduring his sins. Because of this bond, every day had felt like a nightmare, as if I were just trapped inside it. However, it was all cleansed by one person.Lucien.He was there when I needed a hand. He lent me his strength, his people, his power, and himself. Although at first he had stated with a contract that we were married but didn't act like it—or maybe it was just me who did
