THE VANISHING WITNESS

LILIAN'S POV The impact of those words hit me more fiercely than the assault itself. "They've captured Marcus." For an instant, I remained frozen, gazing at Noah, certain that I must have misheard him. When I departed, Marcus had been secured within the mansion's walls, surrounded by guards. Darian had commanded a complete lockdown of the estate, with every entry point under strict surveillance. How was it possible for anyone to reach him unseen? A heavy dread began to settle in my chest as a disturbing comprehension took hold. This was not merely another offensive. It had been a diversion. The blaze at the archives, the cloaked figure guiding me into the woods, the mercenary wolves that ambushed us—each element had been meticulously orchestrated to lure Darian, Noah, and the mightiest warriors away from the mansion, paving the way for someone else to execute the true objective. Marcus was targeted not for his identity, but for the knowledge he possessed. My gaze shifted to th

THE EMPTY SEATS

LILIAN'S POV The maid's announcement hung heavily in the air, akin to a dense fog, rendering everyone speechless for a few prolonged moments. William Carter was gone. Along with him, Amara had vanished. I glanced from Darian to Noah, anticipating expressions of shock; instead, I was met with a tranquil comprehension. Neither appeared astonished. They bore the look of individuals whose worst fears had finally come true. Darian cautiously folded the ransom note and tucked it into his jacket before facing the maid. "Who delivered the news?" he inquired. The young woman anxiously intertwined her fingers. "It was Councilman Victor, Alpha. He mentioned that William's estate was deserted when they attempted to interrogate him regarding the fire." Noah's brows furrowed. "Deserted in what way?" "All the servants are gone. The guards have vanished. Lady Amara’s possessions are missing. They reported that the stables lack several horses." Edgar expelled a slow, fatigued breath. "He orchestr

THE GREY WARDEN

LILIAN'S POV The room appeared to sway beneath me. I re-read the initial sentence, hoping I had misinterpreted it. If you’re seeing this, it indicates that my fears concerning someone from the Reed family were justified. My hands started to tremble. The Reed family. Not the council. Not William Carter. The Reed family. For a lengthy moment, silence enveloped us. Even Noah, who usually had a solution, stood motionless next to the table. Darian cautiously took the letter from my shaking grasp, his face inscrutable as he scanned the faded script. "This is incomprehensible," Noah eventually murmured. Edgar remained quiet. Owen appeared equally disturbed. Darian continued to read until he reached the end of the first page. His breath became slower. More measured. That was never a promising sign. Whenever Darian suppressed his feelings to that extent, it signified he was compelling himself to reason rather than to respond. "What else is written?" I inquire

"The Last Message

LILIAN'S POV The words sent shockwaves of disbelief throughout the room. "The Grey Wardens?" Noah echoed, furrowing his brows in confusion. "I believed they were merely a tale." With a slow motion, Edgar sank into a chair, his face marked by age appearing unusually drained. For the first time since our initial encounter, he appeared genuinely disturbed. "They were never just a tale," he murmured softly. "It's just that no one had laid eyes on one in close to two decades." Darian carefully folded the scout's document and tucked it inside his jacket. "Share everything you know with us." Edgar closed his eyes for a brief moment, as if he were traversing through years of recollections. "When Blood Veil began, the first Alpha established an elite group of warriors." "They weren't selected based on their lineage." "They weren't chosen for their wealth." "They were selected solely for their unwavering loyalty to the Alpha." "They answered to no governing body." "The

BLOOD DOESN'T LIE

LILIAN'S POV A profound silence enveloped the courtyard. No one stirred. It felt as if no one even inhaled. Gabriel’s last words reverberated in my thoughts. “The enemy lurking within your family... isn’t the one you’ve been seeking.” Darian stood motionless, his verdant eyes fixed on the ancient warrior. The morning breeze teased the edges of Gabriel’s gray cloak, yet he remained steadfast, as if he had carried this secret for years, now arriving at the moment to share it with those destined to hear. Noah was the first to break the stillness. “What do you mean?” he pressed. “You mentioned that someone within the Reed family betrayed Blood Veil.” Gabriel acknowledged with a slight nod. “I did.” “And you stand by that assertion.” Though calm, there was a hint of determination in Darian's tone. “My uncle Victor.” Gabriel’s head shook slowly. “No.” Nearby warriors began to murmur among themselves. Edgar stared at Gabriel, astonished. “If not Victor...

THE DEVIL'S WELCOME

LILIAN'S POV The forest exuded an unusual stillness. Only the consistent sound of hooves trotting along the narrow path and the intermittent rustling of leaves broke the tranquility of the morning. Rays of sunlight streamed through the lofty pines, casting ever-changing designs upon the ground, yet we did not pause to appreciate the landscape. Each rider maintained a heightened sense of awareness. Captain Elias, accompanied by two warriors, forged ahead as scouts, while Noah positioned himself at our rear guard. Darian remained next to me, standing tall, his gaze perpetually sweeping the treetops. Gabriel confidently guided us along trails that seemed invisible to the rest."William has eyes everywhere," Gabriel spoke, not glancing back. "Never think you're truly alone."Noah nodded in agreement. "We've experienced that firsthand."Edgar pushed his horse forward until he matched pace with Gabriel."How long has William been aware of the Grey Wardens?"Gabriel took a few moments to

THE ALPHA'S LEDGER

LILIAN'S POV For what felt like an eternity, the underground stronghold was frozen in silence. Even William Carter showed signs of being rattled. The man cloaked in shadow had silver-streaked hair cascading down to his shoulders, accompanied by a jagged scar that traversed his nose, disappearing beneath his rugged beard. Lines etched onto his face spoke of age and weariness, yet his stance exuded strength. His back was upright, and his gray eyes reflected the quiet assurance of a survivor who had faced overwhelming challenges. Gabriel took a shaky step ahead. His voice wavered. "Commander Rowan..." The seasoned fighter offered a subtle smile. "So you still recall me." Gabriel's eyes brimmed with tears. "I laid to rest twelve of our comrades." "I assumed I had buried you as well." Rowan briefly lowered his eyes. "You interred the man who took my place." A stillness enveloped the room. Noah's brow furrowed. "What does that imply?" Rowan turned his gaze

BENEATH THE RUINS

LILIAN'S POV "Darian!" I shouted, but my cry was swallowed by the deafening roar of crumbling stone. Dust choked me, and I coughed hard as I stumbled forward. Visibility was almost zero. The shouts of warriors surrounded me; some pleaded for assistance while others frantically tried to shift debris with their hands. My heart raced so fiercely it felt painful. Darian had been right next to me. He had pushed me out of harm's way just before the ceiling fell, and now an immense pile of stones stood between us. "Darian!" I cried again, collapsing onto the ground beside the wreckage. My hands trembled as I began to claw away at the stones. A jagged edge sliced into my palm, but I brushed the pain aside. "Move!" Noah yelled from behind. "Liliana, get back!" "He’s trapped!" I shouted. "I know!" In a swift motion, Noah hurled a large chunk of wreckage away. Gabriel and two other warriors came to assist him, quickly shifting the stones aside. I continued to search for any sign of Darian.

THE PRICE OF THE TRUTH

LILIAN'S POV The pendant radiated an unusual warmth against my hand. I gazed at the delicate silver rose, my eyes welling with unshed tears. This was something my mother had held, perhaps pressed to her heart. Maybe she wore it on the night that everything changed for us. The notion brought a tightness to my chest. "What was her name?" my brother quietly inquired. I shot him a puzzled look. "What did you say?" "Your mother." "Rose." His expression softened. "Rose." He spoke the name as if savoring a long-buried memory he had feared would fade. "It's been years since I last spoke her name aloud." I swallowed hard. "Do you remember her?" "Every single day." His voice trembled just a bit. "When cooking, she often sang." "She couldn’t stand storms." "And every night, she counted my fingers as I drifted off, convinced I might lose one." A broken chuckle escaped through my tears. "She did the same for me." He looked directly at me. "You recall?"

THE BLOOD SEAL

LILIAN'S POV The words were completely incomprehensible. "What do you mean, our lineage isn't what everyone thought?" I inquired. Taryn’s eyes turned to Darian for a moment before settling back on me. "I’m not privy to the full story. William concealed much of it, even from the council. However, your mother uncovered something in the original documents." Adrian moved closer. "What did she find?" Taryn paused. "The first Alpha of Blood Veil was not merely an ordinary werewolf." Gabriel's face shifted instantly. "Be cautious." Taryn disregarded him. "He possessed a rare bloodline, one that vanished ages ago." My wolf stirred uneasily within me. A peculiar tightness gripped my chest, as if a part of me acknowledged the statement before my mind could grasp it. Darian recognized my reaction. "What bloodline?" Taryn shook his head. "That's the part I never found out." Adrian's fists tightened. "Then why are you wasting our time?" "Because William knows." Taryn's tone turned urgent.
