**Krimson**I saw it all.From the moment Mikail stepped onto the stage, I knew nothing good was coming. I could feel Lyra trembling where she stood, her gaze fixed on him, waiting... believing.Poor deluded girl.When I heard him say Sienna’s name, it was as if the world had stopped.I saw Lyra’s eyes go dark, I saw her soul tear apart in silence, like a flower withering on the edge of the abyss.No. She didn’t cry. She didn’t scream.She simply... ceased to exist.I saw a zombie where there had once been life. A tormented soul walking in a broken body.My jaw clenched as applause erupted around us, like a cruel mockery of her pain.I ran my hand through my hair, suppressing the urge to smash something.So much opulence, so much pointless politicking, when the woman carrying his unborn child stood there, vulnerable.I pursed my lips, unable to hide my contempt.The council members, his reputation, the critical gaze of his family and the elders of the pack... they always weighed more

**Lyra**The rain fell in thick sheets, soaking us through in seconds, but I didn’t care.I walked beside Krimson, feeling his solid presence by my side, making sure I didn’t collapse under the weight of my own pain.My dress, clinging to my body from the water, was all I had… that and my broken soul.“I’m going to help you leave the pack,” he said, his voice firm against the roar of the storm.I shook my head, trembling, but he didn’t stop. He wasn’t going to leave me alone, not this time, not when I needed him most, even if it was hard for me to admit it.“You don’t have to do this,” I murmured in a whisper, barely audible above the thunder.Krimson moved closer, shielding me with his body.“I no longer owe loyalty to someone like Mikail,” he blurted out, and I could feel the bitter pain hidden behind those words.I couldn’t help it. A broken laugh escaped my throat, one that hurt more than a scream.I shook my head again, lifting my face toward the sky that was weeping with me.“I

**Lyra**The stain on my clothes was small, but I felt as if my whole world had stopped when I saw it.A slight pain in my stomach had made me instinctively put my hand there, but the color… that color turned my stomach.I wanted to hide it, I wanted to keep pretending I could handle everything, but Krimson noticed right away.“Shit…” he whispered, his voice harsher than he intended. “This trip… this trip is dangerous. Maybe… we should stay a few more days. Wait until you’re better. I can’t risk you like this.”I looked up at him. I knew my face was blank, that I didn’t have the strength to cry or scream. But I also knew my eyes spoke for me.There was something inside me I couldn’t stop, a burning need to flee, to escape everything Silverbane stood for.And above all, Mikail.“No,” I finally said, my voice low but as firm as I could make it. “I’m not going to stop now. I can’t. If I do… if I stay… I’ll never be able to get out of here.”My throat burned. I didn’t know if it was from

**Lyra**The roar of the engine was the only thing breaking the silence.Krimson stepped on the gas without looking back. Neither did I.Ava joined us barely a minute after Mikail disappeared, emerging from her hiding place among the bushes like a cunning shadow.I hugged her tight the moment I saw her. She was alive and still with us. Safe.I didn’t know how he’d managed it, but Tharion had given us a chance. A way out. A lifeline.We drove for hours, traversing dusty roads, getting lost among trees that grew taller and thicker by the minute.We left Silverbane behind. The last stretch of the territory remained behind like a scar I no longer wanted to look at.It was then, in a secluded clearing, that a tall man with a sharp face and gray eyes stood in front of our vehicle with the confidence of someone who had power to spare.“King Lycan sent me,” he said, raising his hands to show he was unarmed. “I’m here to take you to a safe haven. A medical team is waiting for you.”Krimson did

**Sienna*It bothered me… No, it infuriated me.That Mikail, in the midst of that heavy silence and while I was petting him, would utter that woman’s name as if she still belonged to him.As if her shadow were still here, haunting him, filling his head with worthless memories.“That woman is gone now,” I thought through clenched teeth. “She’d better not come back… or she’ll see what happens.”I clenched my teeth inwardly, not letting my expression falter.I knew he’d sent Conrad after her. And I hoped he’d arrive soon with good news—that the lowly slave had been caught, humiliated, or better yet… dead.I couldn’t bear it if Mikail took her back as if nothing had happened.It was better to stick to my role. He couldn’t suspect me. Not while I still had him half-bound by commitments, appearances, and his family’s support.“Sienna,” he said in a voice that was somewhat irritated but still controlled. “You have no right to barge into my office. Much less to touch me like that.”I pouted a
