Chapter 31: I’m doing my duties

Five’s POVThe gunshot echoed through the night, piercing straight to the space I’d tucked away my feelings. A body fell, the thud louder than it was in the silent night.Everything moved in slow motion—Twelve on the floor, a puddle of blood slowly forming around her, the siren getting louder, footsteps gaining on us. A sob caught in my throat. I ran to her—or tried to.But something held me back. A weight. I looked down, and froze in horror. I was clutching a rock, its jagged edges glistening with something red, something warm that stained my hand. My body trembled, the horror clogging my throat. Slowly, my eyes moved—past the puddle of blood, past Twelve, and landed on another. Fifty nine. Her eyes, like Twelve’s, were wide and empty. I screamed. ***I woke up with a gasp, sweat bead on my forehead, a scream caught in my throat. My chest heaved up and down, the terror and grief clinging to my very soul. The room was empty, I was alone. And I was grateful for that. Gra

Chapter 32: you’re pretty

Five’s POV The food given to slaves was scraps. That wasn’t self-pity. It was just fact. We got whatever the wolves didn’t finish at mealtimes, divided into portions big enough to keep you functional, but small enough that you didn’t forget your place. Some days it was half a bread roll and something grey that might have been meat once. Some days it was less. You didn’t think about it too long, you ate it because you had to So when Elijah appeared at the narrow servants’ corridor where I ate my meals alone—by choice, because the other slaves looked at the King’s sigil on my dress with an unease I didn’t have the energy to manage—I assumed he was passing through. He wasn’t. He stopped in front of me, produced a cloth-wrapped bundle from somewhere inside his jacket like it was nothing, and set it on the bench beside me. I stared at it. “What is that?” I asked. “Food,” he responded, settling against the opposite wall. “I have food,” I stated, gesturing at the grey thing on

Chapter 33: more than they want us to know about

Five’s POV I hated to admit it. But my heart beat a little faster at the thought of seeing Elijah again. “You’re in a good mood.” I paused, slowly looking up from the shelf I was cleaning. The King stood there, his shoulder braced on a wall, his arms folded, and those stormy eyes pinned on me. My heart skipped a beat. He tilted his head slightly. “Last time I saw you this excited was when you were drugged and eager to get fucked.” I pressed my lips together, fighting back the heat that crept up my neck. I had pushed the memory to the back of my mind—the memory of touching myself while he watched. I scoffed, going back to wiping down the shelf—this time with more aggression than was necessary. “You’ve cleaned that already.” I paused, clenching my jaw. “I’m being thorough.” “You’re being obvious,” he replied. I set the cloth down and turned to face him fully, because staring at a shelf while he watched me was somehow worse than looking at him directly. He hadn’

Chapter 34: what did you read?

Five’s POV‘More than they wanted us to know about.’ Elijah’s words rang in my ears as I moved. The room was empty, but the King could walk in at any time. Still. My heart hammered in my chest as I dropped the rag. Being afraid was not going to get me the answers I needed. I needed to act. The shelf was was exactly where it had always been.Third row. Dark spine. No title.I crossed to it without letting myself hesitate, because hesitation was how you talked yourself out of things that needed doing. My fingers found the spine and pulled it free carefully, quietly, like the room itself might tell on me.It was thinner than I expected.I opened it, my fingers trembling slightly. The script inside was the old language—dense, careful lines of it filling every page with no illustrations, no breaks, nothing to orient me except the words themselves. I turned to the first page and let my eyes move across it the way I had learned to at the altar, not forcing it, just allowing.Meaning

Chapter 35: two nights

Five’s POV Two whole days. Seven had not returned for two whole days and the panic was starting to creep in. I’d spent the past days cleaning the King’s room with my head held down, gardening under the sun, and hanging out with Elijah. I did anything—anything to keep my mind from drifting to the the worst possible scenarios. But as I stood once again in our room—my eyes fixed on the bed—I couldn’t help the thoughts that surfaced. An uneasy feeling passed through me. A traitorous part of me reached for the king before I could stop it, as though some hidden part of me had begun to trust him.I didn’t trust him, I shouldn’t. But I needed him. I needed to know if Seven was safe.He had been quiet, avoiding me since the last time I’d disobeyed him. Going to him was a risk. But I needed to know. My hand reached for the doorknob, my fingers brushing the tip. But before I could open it, the door swung open. My breath caught in my throat. Seven stood at the entrance. But th

Chapter 36: you took her

Five’s POV The King sat at his desk, unsurprised. Like he had been expecting me. Of course he had. “You took her,” I accused, my voice coming out steadier than I felt. “Instead of me.” “Yes.” He didn’t look up from the paper he was reading. “She didn’t do anything.” “No,” he agreed. “You did.”He still didn’t look up, and that made my skin heat up even more. I crossed the room until I was standing directly in front of his desk, close enough that he would have to actively choose to keep ignoring me. He made that choice for another few seconds, then set the paper down and looked up. His expression was completely calm. That was somehow worse than anger would have been. “You went through my books,” he stated. “After I warned you. After I told you there would be consequences.” “So you used her to punish me?” The disbelief was evident in my voice. “I did,” he said simply. “That’s not—” I stopped, took in a deep breath. “She was locked up for two days. No food.” “Mm.” He pic

Chapter 37: same spot

Five’s POV I didn’t go to Elijah that night. I couldn’t risk getting closer to him, because getting closer to me meant more chances of him getting hurt. And I couldn’t allow it. Not after Seven. So I stayed in that night, staring at Seven’s back as she pretended to sleep, the guilt still gnawing at me. And the weight of the King’s words pressing on me. “I’m sorry,” I whispered into the dark. She didn’t respond, but she heard me. I could tell by the way her silhouette stiffened in the dark. *** Morning came grey and quiet. Seven was already gone by the time I woke—her bed made with that careful precision she used for everything. I lay there for a moment looking at it, then got up and started my duties. I moved through the citadel with my head down and my eyes forward, the way I had learned to in my first days here and had since largely abandoned. It felt strange to do it again. Like putting on clothes that no longer fit right. I laughed bitterly to myself. How cou

Chapter 38: same spot tonight.

Five's POV"You know, I took you for more." I didn't look up from the weed I was uprooting. Instead, my movement became sharper. I was outside gardening. And Elijah had ambushed me. Again. "I've met facility girls," he continued, his voice low yet carrying, "lots of them actually. And I thought I saw something different in you.""Well," I started, tugging at the stubborn weed, "you saw wrong."He crouched down beside me uninvited, his elbows on his knees."I don't think I did," he said.I yanked the weed free with more force than necessary and tossed it aside."Elijah—""The King never picks a breeder," he cut in, leaning in slightly, "yet he picked you. So don't give me that, Five."I said nothing. Because the King didn't pick me for being special. He picked me because in his eyes, I was his—his property. I was here to be bred and to obey mindlessly, or the people around me suffer. Why didn't he understand that?The garden was quiet around us, just soil and pale light and the

Chapter 39: clean it again

Lucien's POVThe moon's disappearance had no recorded precedent.I had spent the better part of three days confirming that—cross-referencing the citadel's archive against the Priestess's historical records, against the oldest territorial texts I had access to, against everything the kingdom had documented about lunar phenomena since the war ended.Nothing.Not a single account. Not a myth, not a cautionary tale, not even a rumor passed down through pack oral tradition that described a full moon simply ceasing mid-cycle.Which meant either it had never happened before.Or the records of the last time it happened had been removed.I leaned back in my chair, the report in front of me blurring slightly at the edges.The prophecy sat at the corner of my desk, transcribed in my own hand from the altar stone.‘What was taken will return. What was buried will rise. The blood of the first will walk among the wolves again, and the world will not survive it unchanged.’Destruction.The memory of

Chapter 40: you want attention?

Five's POVI stepped back into the room. Without knocking. The King was still hunched over the documents he was reading. From what I'd managed to gather, he was studying the prophecy. "You're back," he said without looking up from his desk. I balled my fists, that familiar anger and frustration rising in my chest. The way he treated me, gave orders without acknowledging my presence, like I was nothing. I walked past, my steps light, my head lifted as I went straight to the shelf, where I had forgotten my cleaning cloth. I reached for it, my finger tips brushing the surface, when I felt a gust of wind. I didn't get the chance to react, before I was spun around by strong hands, my back hitting the shelf was a small gasp. The King stood before me, towering over me. "What're you," he started, his voice rough, "deaf now?" My breath caught in my throat. He was so close, close enough that I could smell the mint in his breath, could catch his strong, male scent. It traveled down
