CHAPTER NINETEENTHE VOICE WITHINIsla’s POVBy 6:15 a.m., I had already decided that waking up early was a personal attack.My alarm had barely stopped ringing when I threw my blanket over my head and considered pretending I was sick. I could almost imagine myself lying comfortably in bed while everyone else suffered on the training grounds.Unfortunately, the thought of Peter Hale finding out that I had skipped training was enough to make me sit up.That man would probably come to my room, drag me out of bed, and announce to the entire estate that his newest trainee had surrendered to a pillow.Absolutely not.I wasn’t giving him that satisfaction.I rushed into the bathroom, showered, and washed my face before returning to my room to get dressed. Just like yesterday, I wore my fitted black training clothes and tied my hair into a high braided ponytail. I checked myself in the mirror, adjusted the loose strands around my face, and took a deep breath.It was 6:40 a.m.I was ready.Ac

CHAPTER 20SOMETHING IN THE DARKIsla’s POVThe sound came from the bushes behind me.I stopped swinging my legs and turned my head.For a few seconds, nothing happened. The garden was quiet except for the soft chirping of crickets and the occasional rustle of leaves whenever the evening breeze passed through the trees.I stared at the bushes.“Peter?”No answer.I frowned and checked the time on my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.An hour.I had been sitting on this stupid garden bench for almost an hour, waiting for a man who had personally invited me for an evening stroll.If he had changed his mind, the least he could have done was tell me.I stood up, brushed the back of my dress, and picked up my phone.“Peter, if you’re hiding there, I swear I’m going to—”Another rustle came from the bushes.I stopped talking.My eyes narrowed.“Very funny.”I took two steps toward the bushes, then stopped when I remembered the attack at Crescent Estate a few days ago.What if it w

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONETHE KING’S FEAR Ryan’s POVThe first thing I noticed was Peter’s arm around Isla.The second was the blood on her face.And the third was the fact that I was standing there, watching another man hold my mate against his chest while I fought the urge to tear the entire garden apart.My wolf was already doing enough damage inside my head.Take her away from him.I clenched my jaw.She is hurt. She needs us.Then take her away from him!I ignored the growl building in my chest and forced myself to look at Isla properly.Her clothes were dirty, her arms were scratched, and there was blood running down the side of her face. Some of her hair hung unevenly around her shoulders, as though someone had taken a knife to it.Someone had taken a knife to her.Someone had come into my estate, passed my security, and attacked my mate.The woman I had promised to protect.My hands curled into fists.For one terrifying second, I imagined what I would have found if Peter had arrive

CHAPTER 22THE COUNCIL’S PRICERYAN’S POV“The man was officially declared dead three years ago?”I stared at Trevor, waiting for him to tell me I had misunderstood something.Unfortunately, he didn’t.“Yes, Your Majesty.”I picked up the document from my desk and examined it again. The photograph belonged to the Hunter who had died in our interrogation room the previous night. His name was listed beneath it, followed by an official record of his death and the date it had supposedly happened.Three years ago.I dropped the document onto the desk.“Who confirmed this?”“Our records department. His name was entered into the royal death registry three years ago. According to the documents, he died during a border conflict in the northern territories.”“And nobody questioned it?”“Not until last night.”I leaned back in my chair.Wonderful.First, someone had managed to enter my estate and attack Isla. Then both Hunters had died before we could get any useful information from them. Now we

CHAPTER 23THE PRINCE WHO WANTS EVERYTHINGROMAN’S POV“You’re not paying attention, Your Highness.”I looked up from the document in front of me.Across the desk, Mr. Collins was staring at me with the sort of expression people wore when they were trying very hard not to insult a prince.It was honestly irritating.“I heard you,” I replied.“Then perhaps you can explain what happens if the western province fails to meet its trade obligations for the second consecutive quarter.”I glanced down at the document.Numbers. Figures. Names of merchants. Reports about shipments and military supplies.My head was beginning to hurt.“The Council reviews the province’s performance and decides whether additional measures are necessary.”Mr. Collins sighed.“That is a very general answer.”“Would you prefer that I recite the entire document?”“I would prefer that you understand it.”I stared at him.For a moment, I considered reminding him exactly who he was speaking to.I was Roman Volkov. Son o

CHAPTER 24THE GIRL WHO REFUSES TO BREAKPOV: ISLAThe first thing Peter did when he saw me that morning was stare at my face.The second thing he did was burst out laughing.I stopped in front of him, my hands resting on my waist. “What?”“Nothing.”“Peter.”“I’m just trying to understand something.” He circled me slowly, examining me like I was some strange animal he’d found in the forest. “How does someone manage to look angry, tired, and ready to murder somebody before seven in the morning?”I rolled my eyes. “Maybe because I have to wake up at six every morning to come here and let you torture me.”“Correction. I wake up at five to torture you.”“That’s supposed to make me feel better?”“No, but it makes me feel important.”I tried to smile.I really did.But the moment my eyes drifted toward the garden beyond the training grounds, the smile disappeared.I could still remember the sound of footsteps behind me that evening. The sudden movement in the bushes. The cold metal of the

CHAPTER 25THE KING BEHIND THE CURTAINPOV: KING AARAVThe problem with peace was that people began to mistake it for strength.King Aarav stood before the enormous windows of his private study, watching the morning fog roll across the mountains surrounding his kingdom. Far below, hundreds of soldiers marched through the training grounds in perfect formation. Their boots struck the earth at the same time, their weapons gleaming beneath the morning sun.Not one of them dared to fall out of line.He liked that.Order.Discipline.Obedience.Three things the other kingdoms seemed to have forgotten.Behind him, a clock ticked softly against the wall. His desk was covered with reports from the surrounding territories, including information about the latest disagreements between Crescent Territory and its Council.Aarav picked up one of the reports.Ryan Volkov had refused to surrender authority over Isla Warren.Of course he had.The mighty Alpha King had always possessed a weakness for th

CHAPTER 26THE PRICE OF PROTECTIONPOV: RYANThe first report arrived shortly after sunrise.I was halfway through a meeting with my provincial commanders when Trevor entered my office without knocking.That alone was enough to make me put down my pen.Trevor never interrupted a meeting unless something had gone wrong.“Your Majesty, we have a problem.”The commanders immediately fell silent.I leaned back in my chair. “Speak.”“A supply convoy returning from the western territories was attacked before dawn. Three guards are injured, two wagons were damaged, and several documents have been stolen.”“Were the attackers identified?”“No. They wore masks, and they escaped before our reinforcements arrived.”I stood.“What documents?”“We’re still confirming everything that was taken.”“Then confirm it. I want a complete list, the names of every guard who was present, and the route that convoy followed. Have the western roads sealed until we know whether the attackers are still nearby.”“

CHAPTER 27WHAT THE KING CANNOT SAYPOV: IslaThere was something particularly annoying about a man who could command an entire kingdom but suddenly forgot how to hold a normal conversation with the woman he claimed to care about.Ryan Volkov had become that man.Three days ago, he had watched me train with an expression that made my stomach do embarrassing little flips. Yesterday, he had sent a healer to check whether the cut on my cheek was healing properly, along with a tray of my favorite pastries.This morning, he had passed me in the hallway, and continued walking while speaking to Trevor about some security issue.I stood in the hallway, watching his broad shoulders disappear around the corner.“Unbelievable,” I muttered.“Talking to yourself again?”I turned to find Nina approaching with an apple in one hand and a piece of bread in the other.“Do you ever eat a normal breakfast?”She glanced at her food. “Do you ever mind your business?”I laughed despite myself.Nina was beco

CHAPTER 28THE PRINCE’S FIRST BETRAYALPOV: RomanThe first thing I learned about politics was that people could smile at you while planning to destroy everything you loved.The second thing I learned was that most people didn’t care how powerful your father was if they believed they could get something better from you.I discovered both things on a Thursday evening, in a private dining room beneath the eastern wing of the royal administrative building.And I was beginning to think I liked it there.“Your Highness, you’re early.”Councillor Varrick rose from his chair as I entered the room. He was an older man with grey hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and the kind of smile that made it difficult to tell whether he genuinely liked you or was calculating how much you were worth.Behind him sat Councillors Halden and Edric.Three men who had spent years serving my father.Three men who had suddenly decided that I was worth their time.“Was I supposed to be late?” I asked.Varrick chuckled.
