The VeilPOV: LucienI was on my way to my chambers, when I noticed the movement ahead. Servants hurried past me, carrying trays of fruit and other delicacies, their expressions focused on the task ahead. A soft murmur of conversation filled the air, but it didn’t stop me from feeling an unsettling tension in the pit of my stomach.As I walked closer, a figure caught my eye. A woman, dressed in a flowing gown with a veil covering her face, passed me by. Her presence felt different and strange. As she brushed against me, I stopped. For a brief second, I felt something shift in the air. A subtle energy that I couldn’t quite place.She stumbled slightly, as if it was intentional, then quickly stopped and lowered her head in a deep bow.“Forgive me, my lord,” she said, her voice soft and almost apologetic, though she didn’t seem to mean it.I could only nod, my mind racing. What was this? Who was she? She didn’t look like she belonged to the staff, and her graceful movements caught my att

The Lie That HoldsPOV: KaelI stood on the platform staring down at Mila as the crowd waited in tense silence for her to speak. Her face was pale, eyes wide, and lips trembling just enough that I could see the fear she was trying to hide. I kept my hand on her arm—gentle now, comforting, like a mate should be.

I leaned closer to her, voice low and pleading, loud enough for the front rows to hear. “Mila… please. This is a lie. All of it. That girl is desperate. She is trying to hurt us. Hurt you. Hurt

The Wall That Hides 2 POV: MilaI turned back and walked straight to the wall. The small space inside the doorway felt even tighter now, like though the air itself was pressing in. I stared at the stone in front of me. If it was new, it could not be completely dry yet. Cement took time to harden fully. I reached out and touched it again. The surface was cool, but when I pressed my fingers harder, I felt the slightest give. Not much, but enough. It was still damp underneath. Still fresh. Someone had built this wall recently—very recently. The thought alone sent a chill down my back. Kael. It had to be Kael. He had sealed it before Sara spoke. He had hidden whatever was behind it. But why? What was he hiding so badly that he would build a wall overnight and post guards to protect it?I ran my hands over the entire surface. The cement was thick—much thicker than I expected. Even if I had a hammer, even if I had a chisel, breaking through would take hours. And it would be loud. Very lou
