POV: Lucian (1st Person)I summoned her to my study at dusk.I saw that she had annotated some pack records without my knowledge. That was a bold step but that was not why i called her. it wasn't like the annotation in the pack records actually mattered. It was a minor correction on border patrol rotations sharp, accurate, and infuriatingly better than what my own analysts had written. That wasn’t the reason I sent the order though.The real reason was simpler and far more dangerous. I needed her in a room with meKeal was calling out to her and this time i didn't control it. i wanted to explore what it wanted with the woman i swore to hate and break. When she walked in, the air changed. Her scent hit first. Warm skin, defiance, and that faint trace of something that made Kael slam against my ribs like a chained beast. She wore a simple dark dress that clung just enough to remind me exactly what she looked like underneath silk. She stopped three steps inside the door, chin high, ey

POV: Nyx (First Person)I was on the floor before I was fully awake.That was the thing about this one. The others had pulled me out slowly — a gasp, a jolt, the gradual return of the room around me but this one threw me. One moment I was inside it and the next I was on the cold stone floor of my bedroom with my back against the bed frame and my hands shaking so badly I could not make them stop.Blood.That was what this nightmare had that the others did not. Everything about the nightmare was the same but this time there was blood everywhere. On the floor, on my hands, spreading in the dark in a way that had no source I could identify. I could not move nor could I stop it and Mara was screaming somewhere so deep in my chest that the sound had no way out.My breath was shaky, uneven and fast. My heart was throbbing.I pressed my back harder against the bed frame and tried to count. Four counts in. Hold. Four counts out.I made it to two before my breath shattered again.“Bang” I heard

POV: Nyx (First Person)I knew before I opened my eyes.His scent still lingered deeply in the room which means he had stayed in the whole night. Right beside me. I sat up and looked at the chair beside my bed. The cushion held the shape of him. I stared at it for three full seconds and then I got up and put my back to it because looking at it was doing something to my chest that I refused to examine.The fury came fast and clean and I was grateful for it.I was furious at myself. That was the first and loudest. *Please don't go.* I had said that out loud in a shaking voice, with both hands holding him like I was four years old and afraid of the dark, to the man who had told me he would make me curse every day I spent here. I was also furious at him for staying. That should have been simple. He should have left. Walking out would have been the cold, correct thing to do. It would have fit every version of him I had catalogued since I arrived. But instead he had pulled a chair to my

POV: Nyx (First Person)He arrived mid morning with no formal procession, No advance guard making noise about his importance. Just a sleek traveling carriage, two personal attendants, and Vesper Kane stepping onto the Crane estate's front steps.I watched from the upper corridor window.He looked exactly as he had at the gathering weeks ago. Silver haired, impeccably dressed, moving with the gracious unhurried ease. Lucian met him at the steps. They shook hands with familiarity and Kane smiled with the warmth of a man who genuinely liked the person in front of him.Everything about him was perfect.That was the problem.Mara went quiet the moment I spotted him. Not the alert sharpness she used for threats. Something older and more instinctive. I filed it and moved away from the window.By afternoon Kane had already made himself useful.That was the word everyone used by dinner. *Useful.* He had requested a full security review within two hours of arriving, framed as routine High Coun

WARNING: 18+ CHAPTER!!!POV: Lucian (1st Person)I watched them for forty minutes. I should not have been watching at all. I had reports, border reviews, an estate to run, a High Council visitor to manage and approximately forty things that required my attention more than the east terrace did.But I watched them or HER anyways like a fool. I saw the smile she gave him.That sweet, careful curve of her lips across the table while Kane spoke to her like she was something precious. Like she belonged to the pack instead of to me. The image burned behind my eyes the entire afternoon.I didn’t know why it fucking bothered me.I should not have been watching at all.She was supposed to be a tool. A means to an end. The woman I would break for what she took from me.But that smile that real, unguarded flash of warmth she had never once given me, made something ugly and hot twist in my gut.Kael pushed hard. *Mine.*“Fuck, get a hold of yourself Lucian” I growled under my breath, slamming the
