The Truth Beneath the CrownRowan’s POVDamon drew his sword.“Damon!”Kael stepped in front of me. Damon pointed the blade at Orion. “Give me that document.” Orion didn't move. “No.” Lucian stared at the parchment.“You said my father was the rightful heir.”“I said what the council wanted you to believe.”The oldest elder looked at the ground.Lucian turned toward him. “You knew?”The elder remained silent. “You knew!”His voice echoed through the forest.The elder finally spoke. “We were protecting the kingdom.”“By lying to me?”“We believed Kael's father would keep the kingdom stable.”Kael laughed bitterly. “So you erased my family.”“No.”“You took my father's throne.”The elder lowered his head. “And now you took mine.” Nobody answered. Kael looked at me. I could see the pain in his face. I reached for his hand. “You're still here.”His fingers closed around mine. “That is enough.” Damon stepped forward. “No.”Kael turned. Damon's sword remained raised. “This changes nothing.”

The Crown Called HimRowan’s POVThe fifth beacon lit the mountains. Kael didn't move. Lyra whispered, “It knows you're coming.” Kael looked back. “I don't want the crown.”“I know.”“But people are going to die if Damon reaches the palace.” I squeezed his hand.“Then we go.” He nodded. We started to move through the forest. Orion stopped us.“Wait.” Kael turned. “What?” Orion pointed to the northern road. “We can't use it.”“Why?”“Because Damon will expect us there.” Lyra stepped closer. “There is another entrance.” She moved to the trees. “An old tunnel runs inside the mountain.” Kael followed her. “Where does it lead?”“Under the palace.” Garrick looked at me.“Convenient.” Lyra gave him a dry smile.“It wasn't meant for invading.”“Then what was it for?” “Escaping.”That answer silenced everyone. We entered the forest. Kael stayed beside me.Our son slept against my chest. After a few minutes, Kael leaned closer. “Are you afraid?”“Yes.” He looked at me. “I am too.” I smiled. “Y

The Man They BetrayedRowan’s POVThe palace gates opened before we reached them. Thousands of wolves stood beyond the walls. Northern families. Pack leaders. Soldiers. Even servants who had watched Kael leave in humiliation.But everywhere was quiet, nobody spoke.Kael stopped beside me. Our son slept against my chest. Garrick whispered, “They're waiting for you.” Kael shook his head. “They're waiting for a king.” He looked at me. “They'll be disappointed.”We walked through the gates. A path opened between the people. One by one, wolves lowered their heads. Not to a crown. To Kael. The oldest council elder approached us. He stopped a few feet away. “Kael.” He called. Kael didn't answer. The elder lowered himself to one knee. “We were wrong.” The others followed. Soon the entire courtyard was kneeling. I looked at Kael. He didn't smile. He didn't celebrate. He simply stood there. The elder raised his head. “Return to the throne.” Kael answered quietly. “No.” A murmur moved through

The WitnessRowan’s POVDamon stopped fighting. His eyes remained fixed on my son. “What did you do?” Seraphina stepped in front of me.“Nothing.” Damon looked at her. “Then why did the mark appear?”“Because the covenant chose him.”Damon's face changed. “No.” Kael moved beside me. “Walk away.” Damon shook his head. “You don't understand.”“I understand enough.”“He wasn't supposed to exist.”My arms tightened around our son. “He's my child.” Damon looked at Kael. “Your child?” Kael's voice was firm. “Our son.”Damon laughed bitterly. “You still call him that.”“Because he is.”Damon looked back at the glowing mark.“The covenant has chosen him as witness.” Seraphina nodded. “That means nobody can use the crown without his consent.”Lucian stepped forward. “Even me?”“Yes.”He looked at Kael. “And you?”“Yes.”Lucian lowered his gaze. “Then the crown has no ruler.” Seraphina shook her head.“It has a protector.” Everyone looked at Kael.He said, “No.” I almost laughed. “Kael.”“I've

The King Who LiedRowan’s POVNobody spoke. I looked at the parchment again. King Alaric. The name sat under the Chancellor's like a sentence. Kael reached for it. “Give me that.” Elias handed it over.Kael read the words.His face changed. “My grandfather ordered the purge?” Orion stepped closer. “That's what it says.” Kael looked at him.“You knew?” He asked. “No.”“Then who knew?” My mother answered.“The council.” The elder who had tried to take my son now stepped backward. Kael noticed.“You knew.” The elder said nothing. “You knew my grandfather ordered the purge.”“We knew there was an order.”“And you hid it.”“We were protecting the throne.”Kael laughed bitterly. “Again?” His voice cracked. “You've used that excuse for everything.” The elder lowered his head.Kael held the parchment tighter. “My family was destroyed because of this.”“Yes.”“My father was forced to inherit a throne built on a lie.”“Yes.”“And I was removed from it because you wanted Lucian.”The elder said
