The deeper I walked beneath the fortress, the colder the air became. The lively sounds from the upper halls slowly faded until all I could hear were my own footsteps against the stone floor. I hadn’t come down here since… I stopped myself from finishing the thought. Since I had been brought here as a prisoner. The memory returned anyway. The iron doors. The chains. The hopelessness. I drew a slow breath and kept walking. Torches burned with the same dull light. The air carried the scent of stone and old iron. Yet somehow everything felt different. The place felt oddly strange. It was where most of my people and slaves from other territories lived. Separate from normal pack members. A pair of guards straightened the instant they recognized me. “My Lady.” Their voices came together. Neither man met my eyes directly. Instead, they stood stiffly at attention. I nodded politely as I passe another corridor with more guards and even more respectful bows.

The following morning arrived much too quickly. Soft sunlight filtered through the tall windows of my chamber, painting warm golden patterns across the floor. For a few peaceful moments, I simply lay there, listening to the quiet sounds drifting in from the fortress beyond my room. Lucian hadn’t come back last night. He sent word to me that work was hectic at the pack house and he had to stay over. I stretched in satisfaction having had the whole room to myself. Footsteps echoed faintly in distant corridors. Someone laughed somewhere below. Blackthorn was awake. And for the first time since arriving here, I didn’t wake with fear sitting heavily on my chest. I sat up slowly and wrapped the blanket around my shoulders. Yesterday felt almost unreal. Everything with everything that had happened. Even with Zara… no matter how unsettling our conversation had been… had become another reminder that my past could no longer be ignored. A gentle knock sounded at the door. “My La

I slipped out of the hidden Luna Wing and paused at the entrance. My eyes lingered on the door with quiet longing. The space had become a gentle refuge, but it was time to return to the world outside. I took a slow breath and stepped into the corridor. Alma waited for me with a calm smile. She held out a small piece of parchment. I stared at it in confusion. “What’s this?” I asked She gave a small smile. “These are your assignments, my lady” I raised an eyebrow.”Assignments?” “Yes” she nodded slowly. “You want to be fit to be Luna yes? I’m here to help. After going through these trainings and doing well in these assignments, you’d be good to go” I took the parchment and read the list aloud. “Learn the names of every servant working in the royal household. Spend one hour in the infirmary every day. Eat dinner with the Alpha king every night no matter how busy he becomes.” I paused. “ you must go to the packhouse if needed.” I laughed softly. “The third one is not a

“May I examine your eyes?” The old Alpha’s words lingered in the throne room long after he finished speaking. Silence settled over everyone. No one moved. No one even seemed to breathe. I remained seated on Blackstone’s throne, my gaze fixed on the elderly man standing several steps below me. His back was straight despite his age, and unlike the others who had entered this room with carefully rehearsed smiles, there wasn’t an ounce of hesitation in him. He had asked the question every other representative wanted answered. He had simply been bold enough to say it aloud. A sharp tap echoed through the room. Elder Garrick slammed the end of his staff against the polished stone floor. “Outrageous.” His voice bounced off the high ceiling. “His Majesty is not some rare animal to be inspected.” Several members of my council nodded immediately. Another elder stepped forward, his face red with anger. “You stand before the Alpha King of Blackstone.” The old Alph

I pictured her smile. The way she’d laughed on the western wall. The way she’d insisted on becoming worthy of being my Luna. A quiet chuckle escaped me. She still didn’t understand. She had never needed to earn that place. She already owned it. And my wolf seemed to agree. He always grew calmer whenever she was near. It was… comforting. I hadn’t seen her our conversation was interrupted earlier today. The realization surprised me. Normally I knew exactly where she was. Today had stolen every spare moment. Politics had a way of doing that. Enough. I pushed away from the balcony and headed straight to the fortress. Another other thing could wait but Cressida couldn’t. Or perhaps… I simply didn’t want her to. On getting to the fortress, I went straight to our bed chambers but she wasn’t there. I checked the western gardens next. Nothing A pair of servants immediately bowed when they saw me. “My King.” A servant greeted almost hitting her head on the co
