One Month Earlier... Rowan stood at the edge of Mooncrest's gates, his emerald eyes fixed on the black carriage disappearing into the distance. The Lycan messenger never looked back. Neither did the guards surrounding the carriage. Within it... Aria sat with Audra in her arms. His mate was being taken beyond his reach. Varkos slammed against the walls of his mind. “Go after her!“ "I intend to." Rowan spun toward the warriors gathered behind him. "Beta Lois." Lois stepped forward immediately. "Alpha." "Take ten of our fastest warriors. We ride now." There was no hesitation, no council meeting or discussion. Every second they wasted carried Aria farther from him. Within minutes, eleven horses thundered through the western gate of Mooncrest. The trail was still fresh. Deep wagon tracks carved into the earth. The unmistakable scent of Lycan guards lingered in the air. "They're not hiding their trail," one of the warriors observed. Rowan's eyes never left the

Morning light filtered through the windows of the healing wing. Rowan hadn't slept. Every time he closed his eyes, he found himself back on the day of the ambush. The arrows, the blood and the cloaked warriors. Then the lone figure standing silently at the mountain. His lips moved again in Rowan's memory. Slowly but clearly this time. Rowan's blue eyes flew open."The Raven..." Beta Lois, who had been standing near the window, turned immediately. "Alpha?" Rowan pushed himself upright, ignoring the sharp pain that shot through his shoulder. "The man... I remember what he said." Lois stepped closer."What did he say?" Rowan stared ahead, his expression unreadable."He said... 'Find the Raven.'" Silence settled over the room. Lois frowned."The Raven?" Rowan nodded once."Those were his exact words." "But what does it mean?" "I don't know."He swung his legs over the side of the bed and slowly stood. The pain from his wounds threatened to pull him back down, b

Morning arrived quietly over the Lycan Palace. Sunlight filtered through the tall windows of Aria's chambers, casting long streaks of gold across the polished floor. She stood beside the window, her fingers resting lightly against the cold glass. Beyond the palace walls, the gardens were already alive with servants tending flowers and guards changing shifts. Another week had passed. Another week closer to the Lycan King's welcoming ceremony. And another week away from home. A soft knock broke the silence. Aria answered calmly. "The door is open come in." The chamber doors opened. She expected to see Lady Elyra. Instead... Kael stood outside. Dressed in black and silver, the Alpha of Nightfang looked every bit the warrior he had always been. For a brief moment, neither of them spoke. Then Kael folded his hand at his back. "Lady Aria." His voice was calm."His Majesty assigned me to escort you." Aria's expression remained unreadable."I remember." She stepped out of her chamber

Lina didn't remember how she made it back to her room. sat motionless on the edge of her bed. The tiny glass vial rested in her trembling hands. She had stared at it for hours. More than once, she had considered throwing it into the fireplace. More than once, she had imagined running. But there was nowhere to run. The Lycan Palace was a prison no one can escape. A sharp knock sounded on her door. Lina quickly hid the vial beneath her pillow. "Come in." A young servant stepped inside and bowed. Although Lina is a servant, she still have some respect from other servants. "Lady Elyra has ordered all servants assigned to the royal wing to report before sunrise." Lina nodded absentmindedly. "I understand." The servant hesitated. "You've also been assigned to prepare Lady Aria's breakfast." Lina's fingers curled into her palms. "I'll be there." The servant offered another bow before quietly leaving. The room fell silent once more. Lina reached beneath the pillow and retrieved the

The walk back to Aria’s chambers was silent. The crystal ritual had drained every ounce of strength from her body. Even with Lady Elyra supporting one arm and Kael walking at her other side, each step felt heavier than the last. No one spoke until they reached her door. Lady Elyra opened it. “You should rest, My Lady.” Aria gave a faint nod before stepping inside. Lady Elyra bowed her head and left. The guards resumed their positions outside. Kael remained where he was. Aria noticed.“You don’t have to stand there.” “My orders are to remain nearby.” She sighed.“Then come in.” Kael hesitated only briefly before entering the room. The door closed behind him. Aria walked to the window overlooking the palace gardens. The afternoon sun bathed the grounds in golden light, but she barely noticed it. Her thoughts were elsewhere. On Audra, and what Lina had said today. On the terrible truth she had carried for so long without knowing it. Behind her, Kael finally spoke. “You’ve be
