Aurora’s POVWhen I woke up, pain pressed down on me from every direction. It was not sharp enough to make me cry out, but it was heavy and constant. My chest felt tight when I breathed, and my arms ached even when I kept them still. I tried to move, but the moment I shifted, a firm hand stopped me.“Aurora,” Alpha Alpha Graysaid calmly. “Don’t move yet.”I opened my eyes slowly. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar stone, carved clean and smooth, nothing like the rooms I had grown up in. Soft light came through tall windows, and the air smelled faintly of medicine and magic. My throat was dry, and my head felt foggy.“How long?” I asked quietly.“Two days,” Alpha Gray answered without hesitation.The number settled heavily in my chest. Two days meant time had passed without me knowing. I forced myself to focus on the one thing that mattered.“Keith,” I said. “What happened to him?”Alpha Gray’s expression tightened just enough for me to notice. He pulled a chair closer to the bed a

Alpha Keith’s POVThe carriage wheels rattled over the stone road as we headed toward the royal palace. I sat stiff in my seat, one hand gripping the armrest, the other pressed against my knee. Anger and worry sat heavy in my chest.My beta sat across from me, watching me in silence. His shoulders were tense. His gaze slid from my face to the window, then back again, like he was picking the right time to speak.“Alpha Keith,” he said at last, “when we see Luna Aurora… it might help to stay calm.”“I am calm,” I said. He dipped his head. “Of course, Alpha.”But I saw the doubt in his eyes. He knew I was not calm. The carriage turned onto the broad road that led to the palace. Through the window I saw the high outer walls, the stone crest of the King cut into the gate, and lines of guards in his colors. Once, the sight had filled me with pride. Now it only increased the pressure in my chest.We rolled to a stop. My beta climbed down first and turned to help me. I placed my hand in his

Aurora’s POVFor a moment I just stared at my hands.They still tingled from Blue’s changes. I could feel the new paths of power under my skin, like clear lines instead of chaos.Across from me, Alpha Gray waited, watching my face.“She did more than talk to me,” I said. “Blue changed the way my power moves. And she showed me the bond between us. I can feel where you are now. I can feel if you are in danger.”His eyes softened. “Good,” he said. “That was part of the plan.”I blinked. “Plan?”He hesitated, then gave a small nod. “Yes. When I spoke to King and Sloane about your wolf, we discussed how to help Blue grow. I asked them to focus on one thing above all: your safety. Especially when it comes to the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.”My chest tightened. “So… you asked them to help keep Alpha Keith away from me.”“And anyone else who thinks they can hurt you,” he said. “Blue’s new strength is not an accident. We shaped it with that goal in mind.”“You did this… for me,” I said.“Yes,” he

Aurora’s POVBlue’s warning still rang in my head.I stood just inside my door, hand on the frame, heart steady but alert. Hide, I told Blue. Stay back in my mind. Pretend you are asleep.Blue growled softly inside me but obeyed. I felt her presence slip deeper, her scent folding into the background.I took one slow breath, relaxed my shoulders on purpose, and stepped outside like I did not sense anything.That was when she appeared.“Helen,” I said flatly.She stepped out from behind a tree, face twisted with anger. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.“You,” she hissed.Her hand lifted fast, fingers spread. She aimed straight for my cheek.This time, I did not freeze.Before her hand could reach my face, I caught her wrist, twisted it aside, and slapped her across the cheek. Hard.The sound was sharp in the quiet night.Helen’s head snapped to the side. Her eyes went wide.Before she could react, I slapped the other cheek.Her mouth dropped open. She staggered back two steps, hands

Aurora’s POVI stood on the stone steps of the Red Moon Pack, looking down at Helen.She was at the bottom, arms wrapped around herself, face tight from cold and anger. The Red Moon warriors behind her watched quietly. None of them moved to help her. Their loyalty was clear, and it was not on her side.She glared up at me.“You have to stop this,” she shouted. “Tell King to let Alpha Keith go! He’s your brother!”Her words echoed. I stayed calm.I kept my voice flat. “Is that why you’re here? To order me around again?”She clenched her fists. “He was whipped because of you! Locked in the dungeon because of you! Isn’t that enough?”“No,” I said.Her eyes went wide. “What did you say?”“It’s not enough,” I repeated. “Not for what Alpha Keith did to me.”The guards shifted their weight, but no one spoke. The winter air was sharp. I felt clear.“For years,” I went on, “he ignored everything you did. He watched you hurt me. He refused to listen when I begged him to see the truth. He let
