The Truth

The messenger arrives before sunrise.I know something is wrong before he even reaches the door.The bond between Kael and me has been quiet since his injury. Not peaceful.Careful.As if both of us are afraid that one wrong thought might shatter the fragile calm we've found.I am sitting beside Kael's bed when the pounding begins.Three sharp knocks.Then three more.Kael's eyes open immediately.He reaches for the sword beside him."Who is it?"Elias's voice comes from the other side."Alpha. We have a problem."Kael pushes himself upright.Pain flashes across his face.I catch his shoulder."Don't.""I'm fine.""You are absolutely not fine."Elias enters without waiting.His expression is grim."There was an attack at the southern border."Kael's face hardens."Marcus?""His scouts.""How many?""At least twenty."Kael swings his legs over the edge of the bed.I stand."You are not going."His eyes meet mine."I have to.""You can barely stand.""I am still Alpha.""And I'm your ma

The Spy Confesses

I don't sleep that night.Neither does Kael.The woman who wore my face has disappeared into the forest, but her presence remains in my mind.Her eyes.Her smile.My voice coming from her mouth.Every time I close my eyes, I see her standing between the trees.Tell Kael I'm sorry.Why would she say that?What does she know about him?And why does she look like me?I sit beside the window in Kael's study, staring into the darkness.Kael stands behind me.He hasn't said much since we returned from the garden.His anger is different tonight.Usually, his anger burns.This is colder.Controlled.Deadly."You're thinking too loudly," I whisper.He looks at me."I'm thinking about how she got close enough to watch you."I turn."She didn't hurt me.""That isn't the point.""Then what is?"His jaw tightens."She could have."I walk toward him."But she didn't.""Because she wanted us frightened.""Why?""I don't know."He looks toward the window."But I intend to find out."I take his hand.

Confession

The first bell is still ringing when the northern gate explodes.The sound tears through Bloodmoon like thunder.I feel Kael's wolf surge through the bond before I even hear the second impact.His arms tighten around me."Inside.""No.""Aria.""I'm not hiding while my people are attacked."His eyes flash gold for half a second."You're carrying our child.""And I'm still your Luna."For a moment, neither of us moves.Then Elias appears with a sword in his hand."Alpha, the northern wall is under attack.""How many?""At least two hundred."Kael's face hardens."Rogues?""Rogues and Silver Crescent warriors."My stomach drops.Marcus isn't hiding anymore.He's bringing the war to our doorstep.Kael turns to me."Stay behind the inner wall."I shake my head."I'll stay where you can see me."His jaw tightens."That's not what I asked.""It's what you're getting."Despite everything, the corner of his mouth lifts."Stubborn.""Learned from you."Another explosion shakes the ground.Kael

Come Home

For one terrible second, nobody moves.The Mirror's words hang in the Great Hall.They've already found your child.My hand remains pressed against my stomach.Kael stands beside me, completely still.I can feel his fear through the bond.Raw.Uncontrolled.It crashes into me so violently that my knees almost buckle.He looks at me.Not at the Mirror.At me.His eyes search my face as though he's trying to find an answer I refuse to give."What child?" he asks.My heart stops.The Mirror smiles.I force myself to breathe."She's lying."The woman laughs."Am I?"Kael's gaze sharpens."Enough."His voice shakes the room.The Mirror looks at him."You should ask your mate what she's hiding."I step forward."Don't listen to her.""Then tell me I'm wrong.""I don't know what she's talking about."The lie burns my throat.Kael stares at me.I can feel his confusion.His suspicion.And beneath both, fear.The Mirror notices it.She smiles wider."You're protecting something, aren't you, Ar

I Return

I leave before sunrise.Not because I want to.Because staying has become more dangerous than leaving.The pack is still sleeping when I step out of my room. The corridors are dark, lit only by a few dying candles. My boots make almost no sound against the stone floor.For a moment, I stand outside Kael's study.The door is closed.I can feel him through the bond.He's awake.Of course he is.Kael has barely slept since the attack.I lift my hand to knock.Then stop.If I see him, I might not be able to leave.And I have promised myself that I will protect our child, even if it means breaking my own heart.I turn away."Aria."I freeze.Kael's voice comes from behind me.I slowly turn.He's standing in the doorway.His black hair is disheveled, and the sleeves of his shirt are rolled to his elbows. There are shadows beneath his eyes.He looks exhausted.But his eyes are fixed on me."You're leaving."It isn't a question.I swallow."I have to."He steps toward me."Where?""Selene's c

He Falls to His Knees

The doors of the Great Hall opened.Two warriors dragged the Mirror inside.She looked nothing like the frightened woman I had seen before.There was no fear in her eyes.Only satisfaction.Her gaze went directly to me.Then to Kael.Then to my stomach.A slow smile touched her lips."So," she whispered. "He finally knows."Kael stepped in front of me.His body became a wall between us."You will not look at her."The Mirror laughed softly."You can protect her from me, Alpha. But you can't protect her from the truth."Kael's voice dropped."Who sent you?""You already know.""Marcus?"She nodded."And what does he want?"Her eyes moved toward me again."The child."Kael's entire body went rigid.I felt his wolf surge through the bond.Not anger alone.Fear.Terrifying, primal fear.The kind of fear that came from knowing there was something precious enough to destroy you.Kael's hand reached behind him and found mine.His fingers locked around mine."Tell me everything."The Mirror t

I Was Wrong

The floor stops shaking.For several seconds, nobody moves.Nobody breathes.Then the crack beneath our feet seals itself with a low, grinding sound.Silence falls over the Great Hall.Kael's hand finds mine.His fingers are cold."Did you hear it?" he whispers.I nod."The voice."His eyes search mine."What did it say to you?"I swallow."The heir has awakened."Kael's jaw tightens."And your wolf?""She bowed."His expression changes.Fear.Not for himself.For me.For our child.A roar suddenly erupts outside.The windows rattle.Vera rushes back into the hall."Alpha!"Kael turns."What?""The rogues have reached the outer wall.""How many?""At least two hundred."Elias enters behind her, sword already drawn."And they're not attacking like ordinary rogues."Kael's eyes narrow."What do you mean?""They're surrounding the territory."I look at him."Waiting."Elias nods."For what?"Before he can answer, another tremor passes through the ground.The candles flicker.Vera's face

My Silence

The word Queen continues to echo inside my head.Not like a sound.Like a command.A promise.A warning.I stand frozen in the middle of the courtyard, one hand pressed against my stomach while golden light slowly fades from my skin.Around me, the rogues remain on their knees.No one speaks.Even the Bloodmoon warriors seem afraid to move.Kael is staring at me.Not with fear.With wonder.I look at him, searching his face for the answer to a question I don't know how to ask.Did you hear it?His expression tells me he didn't.The voice belonged only to me.My wolf stirs.He is awake.I swallow.Who?The one who remembers.A shiver runs down my spine.I don't understand.But before I can ask, Elias steps forward."Aria."I look at him.His grey eyes are wide."What just happened?""I don't know."The words come out honestly."I didn't control it."Kael approaches.He stops directly in front of me."Are you hurt?"I shake my head."No."His gaze drops to my stomach."And the baby?"I

He Sees My Belly

My heart stops.Marcus stands at the end of the corridor.For one terrible second, I forget how to breathe.He looks exactly as I remember him.Silver threaded through his dark-grey hair.Cold blue eyes.Perfect black coat.A smile that never reaches his eyes.But something is different.He isn't hiding anymore.He has come into Bloodmoon openly.Kael steps in front of me.His body becomes a shield."How did you get inside?"Marcus smiles."You've been asking the wrong question, Kael."Kael's fingers tighten around his sword."Then give me the right one."Marcus's eyes move past him.Straight to me."How is my little princess?"My stomach twists.I hate the way he says it.Like he owns a piece of me.Like I'm still the frightened girl who couldn't fight back."I'm not yours."His smile widens."Not anymore."Kael growls."Don't look at her."Marcus laughs."Still protective."He takes one step forward.Kael's wolf immediately rises."You have five seconds to explain why you're here."

Is That Mine?

The voice disappears.But the question remains.Is that mine?Kael's hand is still resting over my stomach.His fingers are trembling.For the first time since I met him, I see something in his eyes that looks almost like fear.Not fear of Marcus.Not fear of death.Fear of losing something he has barely had the chance to know.“Our child,” he whispers.I stare at him.The words should make me happy.Instead, they hurt.Because I remember the night I discovered I was pregnant.I remember sitting alone in Selene's cabin, staring at two lines on a piece of cloth while snow battered the windows.I remember wondering whether Kael would believe me.Whether he would want the child.Whether he would hate me even more.And now he knows.Now he knows the truth.Kael slowly removes his hand.“Aria…”I step backward.His expression falls.“I need a moment.”He nods.“Take all the time you need.”I look toward the corridor.Marcus is gone.But his threat remains.He wants my child.He wants my bl
