Chapter One Hundred and Nineteen – The War Beneath the RootsTristan’s POVThe Sacred Forest had never felt so alive.Every tree around us stood tall and silent, but I could feel something moving beneath the ground.A warning.A memory.A power that had been sleeping for centuries.The warriors stood ready around the ancient chamber.No one spoke loudly.No one moved without purpose.Everyone understood the same thing.This was not a normal battle.We were not protecting a palace.We were not protecting a territory.We were standing on the place where the first Alpha had made his promise.And now, an enemy from the past had come to break it.I looked at the warriors beside me.Some were afraid.I could see it in their eyes.But fear did not make them weak.Fear reminded them that they had something worth protecting.I turned toward the entrance of the forest.The darkness beyond the trees remained still.Too still.“They are close,” the Head Elder said quietly.I looked at him.“How d

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three – Shadows in the PalaceNina's POVThe palace had never felt this empty before.Ever since Tristan and the others had ridden through the gates at sunrise, a strange silence had settled over every hallway, every staircase, and every courtyard. It was the kind of silence that made every small sound seem louder than it really was. Every creak of the old wooden floor, every gust of wind against the windows, and every distant footstep made my heart beat a little faster.I stood beside Aurora's cradle, gently rocking it while watching her tiny face. She looked peaceful, completely unaware of the storm that seemed to be gathering around our family.I wished I could be as calm as she was.The Head Elder had promised that the palace would be the safest place for her while Tristan searched for the remaining seals, and I believed every word he had spoken. Even so, something inside me refused to settle.It felt as though my heart was trying to warn me before m

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Four – The Locked WingNina's POVThe palace had never been this quiet.The silence was no longer peaceful. It pressed against every wall like something alive, creeping through the long corridors and settling into every empty corner. Even the servants who usually greeted one another with warm smiles now spoke in hushed voices, constantly glancing over their shoulders before continuing their work.The discovery of the spy had changed everything.One man had lived among us for years, serving meals, sweeping floors, and bowing politely whenever members of the royal family passed him. Yet all along, he had been sending information to the Blood Hunters.If one servant had hidden his true identity so well, how many others could be doing the same?.That question refused to leave my mind.I stood outside Aurora's room, watching the two guards stationed at the entrance. Both men stood with their backs straight, their hands resting on the hilts of their swords. Th

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Six – The Black FeatherNina's POVThe palace had settled into an uneasy silence by the time darkness covered the sky.Every torch along the walls burned brighter than usual, throwing long shadows across the stone corridors. The captain had doubled the patrols after the disappearance of Aurora's guard, and every warrior moved through the palace with sharp eyes and cautious steps.No one trusted the silence anymore.Silence had become the enemy's favorite disguise.I stood outside Aurora's nursery, watching two guards change shifts while another pair took positions farther down the corridor.The captain approached me with a tired expression."You should rest for a while, My Lady."I looked toward the nursery door."I'll rest when Tristan returns."He smiled faintly."I expected that answer."For a brief moment, neither of us spoke.Then hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor.Every warrior immediately reached for his weapon.A young guard appeared

Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Eight – The Hunt BeginsNina's POVThe courtyard remained silent long after the captain finished calling every name on the duty roster.More than eighty guards stood in perfect formation beneath the afternoon sky, yet every pair of eyes searched the faces around them with quiet uncertainty.Only a few hours earlier, they had trusted one another without hesitation.Now that trust had begun to crack.The captain folded the roster and handed it back to the young officer."From this moment forward, no one leaves the courtyard without my permission."Every guard answered together."Yes, Captain."He looked toward me."My Lady."I understood what he was asking before he spoke.I slowly stepped forward until every person in the courtyard could see me.The servants gathering beneath the balconies stopped whispering.Even the stable workers coming from the eastern yard paused to listen."The palace is now under complete lockdown."My voice carried clearly across
