 Chapter Fifty OnePOV: Zara I watched Sera walk away and felt something I had not felt in a very long time, which was the specific warmth of winning a round, and I stood in that corridor and let myself feel it for exactly three seconds before I turned to Kael with everything arranged on my face the way it needed to be arranged. He was not looking at me. He was watching Sera walk away, and the expression on his face was the one I had been watching him wear for months whenever she was in a room, that particular stillness that was not actually stillness at all but something considerably more alive than anything he ever directed at me, and I stood there and felt the warmth of winning drain out of me completely and leave something considerably colder in its place. He turned to me. "What are you doing here Zara," he said, and his voice had already dropped into that registe

Chapter Fifty Three POV: DamienReuel ran the same patrol pattern every morning before sunrise and I knew this because I had been watching him for six days and men like Reuel, men who were confident enough in their dominance that caution felt beneath them, always ran the same pattern.It was the thing that got dominant wolves killed more than anything else. Not stronger enemies. Not a better strategy. Routine. The comfortable arrogance of a man who had never once had a reason to believe the outer dark was watching him back.I pressed myself flat against the eastern wall of the outer settlement and waited and felt my wolf run low and quiet the way I had trained it to run, pressed down into something that did not announce itself, that did not push against the air around it the way dominant wolves pushed, that simply existed in the space without taking up any of the space.I heard him before I saw him.His footsteps were heavy in the way of a man who had never learned to move like he

Chapter Fifty FivePOV: SeraI did not sleep.I sat by the window where Damien had thrown that stone and watched the dark settle into the deeper dark that comes right before morning, and I turned his words over so many times that by the time the sky started to grey at the edges I had worn them smooth, like stones in a riverbed, like something I had been carrying so long I no longer felt the weight of it.The vial. The full moon window. Zara's lie about the child she was not carrying.I believed him.That was the part that frightened me most, not the conspiracy itself, but how quickly I believed it. Two months of watching Lyra's face do things that did not match her words. Two months of feeling something cold settle in my chest every time she touched my arm and called me sister. I had been carrying the suspicion already. Damien had not given me something new. He had given me language for something I already knew, and there is a particular kind of fear that comes from having your worst

Chapter Fifty Six POV: Kael DravonSera came to find me the morning after Damien had been in her garden and I knew about Damien being in her garden because I had a guard on the outer perimeter of her household that she did not know about and had not known about since the night the testing stone went black, because whatever else was uncertain right now her safety was not something I was leaving to chance.She walked into the elder's meeting room where I had been working since before dawn and she closed the door behind her and looked at me across the table with that expression she wore when she had already decided something and was coming to deliver the decision rather than discuss it."Damien was here last night," she said."I know," I said.Something moved across her face. "You know.""I have had someone watching your outer perimeter since the ceremony," I said. "I was going to tell you.""When," she said."When the timing was not going to make it sound like surveillance rather than
