KyonThe royal priestess asked me to meet her alone before sunrise, and the moment I entered the small room beside the temple, I knew this was not a normal meeting. The candles around us burned low, filling the room with the smell of smoke and old herbs, while she sat across from me with her hands folded calmly in her lap. Her face looked peaceful, but her eyes watched me too closely, as if she was searching for something hidden behind my face. I remembered what I had learned the night before, and I knew that whatever I said now could decide whether Lyra lived or died.“Your Majesty,” she said softly, “do you believe the prophecy?”I kept my face still.“I believe the prophecy has guided our kingdom for generations.”“That was not my question.”I looked directly into her eyes.“Do you believe the marked woman must be sacrificed if she is found?” she asked again. For one painful second, I imagined Lyra standing before them while they called her a curse, and every part of me wanted to

KyonI had been in the royal library, searching for hours and following names and dates that had almost disappeared from history. My eyes were beginning to hurt, but I refused to stop. Then I saw a date written at the top of a damaged page, and my entire body went still.An event dated about a thousand years ago.I leaned closer, afraid that I had read it wrong. Beneath the date was a short entry about a woman who had been brought before the king during a time of unusual changes in the moon. My fingers trembled as I turned the page, and the words became clearer as I read. She had been born outside the royal bloodline, yet the king had ordered that she be brought into the palace after wolves gathered around her without attacking. I read the next line and felt my breath catch.The records described the woman as someone who could calm wolves, heal the wounded, and stand beneath the full moon without fear. And as I read those words over and over, the clearer things became.I pushed myself

KyonBefore sunrise, a guard came pounding on my door so hard that I woke up with my wolf already growling inside me. The sky outside was still dark, and the cold air coming through the window made the room feel even more empty as I pulled on my clothes. I knew something was wrong before the guard even opened his mouth because nobody summoned the king to the council chamber at that hour unless the matter was serious. When he finally told me the council was waiting, one thought immediately came to my mind, even though I tried to just keep it within me for the mean time.I walked through the silent halls with two guards following behind me, but the closer I got to the council chamber, the louder the voices became. Angry Alphas were shouting over one another, and I could hear words like curse, sacrifice, danger, and Moon Goddess before I even reached the doors. When I entered, every conversation stopped for a second, and dozens of eyes turned toward me with fear and expectation. I slowly

KyonI stood outside the examination room with six Alphas and three guards, staring at the closed wooden doors while the first light of morning slowly pushed away the darkness outside. The priestesses had taken Mira inside more than an hour ago, yet nobody had come out to tell us what was happening. At first, the Alphas had been loud and impatient, but as the minutes passed, even they became quiet. I could feel my wolf pacing inside me, and every time he reached the doors, the same uneasy feeling came with him.“This should not take this long,” Alpha Roderick muttered.“The priestesses are following sacred law,” another Alpha answered.“Sacred law does not explain why a simple mark needs hours to examine.”I said nothing because I was thinking the same thing. If the mark was exactly what they claimed, why did they need so much time to prove it? They had already told the council that Mira was the Curse Bearer, yet they were now taking hours to perform an examination that supposedly had

KyonI stood outside the inner chamber with my arms folded across my chest, listening to the muffled voices of the priestesses on the other side of the heavy wooden doors. The same place where they had examined Mira before was now filled with guards, Alphas, healers, and members of the royal council, all waiting to see whether the second examination would give them the proof they claimed to have. I was not allowed inside, just as before, because the priestesses insisted that their sacred laws did not permit men to witness the examination of a suspected Curse Bearer. But this time, I refused to leave, and my wolf was already restless beneath my skin because something about the whole situation felt wrong.Then a scream tore through the chamber.It was not a normal cry of fear, and it was so sharp that every person outside the door froze at once. A moment later, Mira screamed again, louder this time, and I heard something crash against the floor inside. One of the guards immediately reac
