Chapter 21: A Pull

KAELI felt a pull before I understood it. It wasn’t physical, nor was it even visible, but it was deep enough that my attention fractured mid-sentence as I sat at the council table. The room was still speaking—voices layered over each other in careful politeness—but the sound faded like it had been pushed behind glass.My hand tightened around the edge of the document in front of me.“Alpha Kael?”I didn’t answer, the pull sharpened.It wasn’t pain exactly. It was awareness turned wrong, like the bond had been pulled taut and then snapped halfway back into place, trembling under strain. My wolf lifted immediately, restless under my ribs, pacing in tight circles that had no direction.I pushed my chair back and every head at the table turned. “Continue without me,” I said flatly, already rising.One of the elders frowned. “Alpha, we’re still discussing border allocations—”“I said continue without me.” My voice didn’t rise, but the temperature in the room dropped anyway. No one stoppe

Chapter 22: Fracture Point

LENAI didn’t realize I had fallen asleep until the world stopped being real in the usual way. There was no transition, no softness, no awareness of drifting into anything resembling rest. One moment I was standing in the corridor, blood on my hands, Kael’s voice somewhere far behind me and the next I was somewhere that didn’t belong to any place I had ever been.The ground beneath my feet wasn’t stone. It wasn’t anything I could name properly. It shifted slightly when I moved like it was listening rather than existing. Above me, there was no sky… only a vast pale expanse that pulsed faintly, like the world itself was breathing in slow, deliberate rhythm.I turned in place once, then again.“Hello?” My voice came out smaller than I intended, swallowed immediately by the emptiness.There was no echo and that alone made my stomach tighten then I heard him, but it wasn’t behind me nor was beside me. It was everywhere at once, like the air had decided to speak directly into my bones.“You

Chapter 23: Miracle

LENAFor a second after the impact, the room didn’t behave like a room anymore.The sound of Kael hitting the wall still echoed in my ears, sharp and final, like the estate itself had absorbed the force and was now holding it against me in silence. My breath stopped halfway in my throat as reality snapped back into place in uneven pieces.Kael.The name hit my mind before logic followed it, and when it did, my stomach dropped so fast it felt like I had missed a step on stairs that weren’t there.“No—” I moved instantly, the word breaking apart as I rushed forward. “Kael.”He was still upright, which somehow made it worse. One hand braced against the wall where he had struck it, head slightly angled down as if he was assessing damage the way someone might assess a minor inconvenience. The controlled stillness in him didn’t match what I had just done. It never matched what I had just done.My hands reached for him before I could think better of it. “I didn’t— I thought you were—”His he

Chapter 24: The Purge

LENAKael’s expression shifted slightly, not into softness, but into something more guarded. “You are not the intended variable in most internal operations within this estate.”I blinked at him. “That doesn’t answer my question.”“It does,” he replied.“No, it doesn’t,” I snapped, frustration breaking through the confusion now. “Because people don’t just send trained men into your house to kill your guards for fun.”His jaw tightened slightly at the word kill, but he didn’t correct me. “They were not sent for your guards,” he said after a moment.My stomach dropped slightly. “They were sent for me.”Kael didn’t answer immediately. And when he finally did, his gaze shifted slightly past me, toward the door, as if the answer itself didn’t belong in the room with us.“You are no longer protected by assumption.”A cold silence followed and then, softly, almost like an afterthought that should have never been spoken at all—“And that next time, they will not miss.”Kael didn’t move for a m

Chapter 25: Claws

LENAI had started learning the rhythm of Kael’s world, even if I didn’t like the sound of it.It wasn’t just power. It was restraint wrapped so tightly around authority that most people in the room didn’t realize they were already being controlled before they even spoke. I noticed it more clearly now—the way conversations paused half a beat too long when he entered, the way chairs shifted subtly to make space that wasn’t asked for, the way even disagreement was delivered carefully, like it might be remembered later and still, they spoke.The council chamber was colder than I expected, all stone and elevated seating arranged in a wide arc that forced attention toward the center platform where Kael sat. I sat slightly behind and to his right, positioned there without discussion, as if the placement had been decided long before I arrived and no one had bothered to explain it to me.That was fine. I was getting used to not being explained to.Kael had been speaking for the last ten minut

Chapter 26: The Last To Leave

LENAI woke up before dawn, not because I had to but because I was nervous. Today was going to be my first day officially resuming Luna duties after the kidnapping attempt, and half of the pack probably thought that I wasn’t fit for the role.Which was ironic considering I wasn’t even officially Kael’s Luna. I expected people to resent me. Hell, I expected them to hate me.The maid’s accusation still echoed in my head. I stood before the mirror, staring at my reflection. The girl staring back at me wasn’t the broken servant from House Ashford but she wasn’t a Luna either.She was something in between.“No matter how hard you work, you’ll never belong,” Selene’s voice echoed in my head. My jaw tightened. Today, I would prove her wrong. The administrative hall was already crowded when Maren escorted me inside.Conversations died the moment I entered.People stared, some whispered and others looked away.I pretended not to notice. Goddess forbid I show them I’m affected by it all. T

Chapter 27: Something Missing

PRINCE ADRIAN I woke up in a good mood or at least that’s what I told myself. The kingdom was stable and the nobles approved of Cara. The scandal that came with being mated to someone as lowly as Lena Ashford was fading. The court had moved on. Everything was proceeding exactly as planned. I wasn’t stuck with a weak servant and I had gotten rid of her, thankfully the moon goddess passed her to someone else. Not my problem. No embarrassment, no whispering from the court and most importantly, no burden. Cara was beautiful, charming and everything a f

Chapter 28: Bait

LENA By the third week, I had started to believe the administrative wing was finally settling and that was probably my first mistake. People still looked at me differently like I was something temporary, something the pack was waiting to either accept or erase, but the open hostility had softened into something quieter. Although the observations and judgments hadn’t yet decided what I was. A maid left tea on my desk every morning now. Never speaking. Never meeting my eyes. Just placing it down and leaving. It shouldn’t have meant anything but it did because nobody in my life had ever given me something without taking something in return.

Chapter 29: No Mercy

LENAI was still asleep when the door slammed open. Cold air rushed into the room and dragged me straight out of my dreams.I groaned.“Get up.”That voice, I needed no one to tell me it was Kael plus who else would barge into my room at this time of the day?I opened one eye slowly, glaring at him from under the blanket. “It’s not even morning.”“It is training time.”“I didn’t agree to training at sunrise.”“You didn’t agree to almost dying either.”That shut me up for half a second then I threw a pillow at his head.He didn’t even bother dodging, it hit him and dropped harmlessly to the floor.“Do you enjoy ruining people’s sleep?” I snapped.“Only those who survive it,” he said calmly, then he turned and walked out. “Five minutes.”The door shut behind him and I just sat there staring at it.“I hate him,” I muttered.I still got up, unfortunately.**The training grounds were already cold when I arrived, it was too open and too quiet.Kael was waiting impatiently and immediately h

Chapter 30: Unfinished Fight

LENA His expression didn’t change. “Good. Hate keeps you alive.” That alone made something in my chest tighten but before I could think of a comeback, Kael moved. No warning. No shift in stance I could track fast enough. One second he was standing, the next he was on me. I barely dodged the first strike, stumbling back into a defensive position I didn’t even realize I had taken. His second attack came faster. I blocked it on instinct, pain shooting up my arm. “You’re too slow,” he said flatly. “Uhm, I thought we were done training!”
