RONANSeveral days went by after Seraphine told me to stop looking into the past.For once I actually did what she said, at least it looked that way to everyoneI did not call for another soldier to talk to, I did not ask anyone about Elias, I did not mention the battle unless someone else started talking about it and I even stopped opening the notebook on my desk.Instead, I returned to things that were waiting for me. I had to deal with pack matters, council meetings, patrol reports, trade requests and I had to think about and take care of the twins. The endless stack of papers seemed to grow whenever I managed to clear half of it.Life in Moonblade did not slow down just because I had questions.If anything, taking a step back helped me clear my head.After several days of not searching, my thoughts became less scattered.I could separate what I knew from what I suspected.I still did not know what happened to Elias and I still did not know why his name was not in the records but

RONANA few days had passed since the summit was announced and my pack had been busy preparing for it. Reports were being gathered, patrol schedules were being checked, and the council had gone over the same border issue more times than I cared to count.I had stayed out of most of it not because it didn't matter.I just simply had other things on my mind.The formal response from Cassian's kingdom arrived just after breakfast.I broke the seal and read it slowly.The summit would take place at the neutral settlement and both Alphas were expected to attend.There was no polite way around it, I would be going this time. Seraphine would accompany me since she had already been representing Moonblade during the earlier discussions.The twins would stay behind with people we trusted to look after them.I folded the letter and placed it on my desk.I had a summit and border dispute to handle, that means another few days away from the pack.I should have been thinking about nothing else bu

RONANThe first day of the summit ended after several hours. By the time everyone started gathering their papers, my head felt heavy. The border dispute was not what was making me feel so uneasy, it was Elara. I spent most of the day trying not to think about Elara sitting across from me but it did not work. Elara was not the woman I remembered. The woman I saw today was calm. She knew what she was talking about and did not hesitate when people asked questions. She stood before both territories and spoke like she belonged at that table and did not let our past get in the way of the work. I could not stop thinking about the minutes we spent outside the meeting room. I wanted to say something or anything at all but when I finally saw her standing there, I forgot every word I had practiced. I only managed to say her name and then she addressed me as ‘Alpha Ronan' when she replied to me. I deserved that distance but still, I did not want to leave this place without saying what

ELARAThe summit resumed before I had fully settled back into my seat.I kept my attention on the documents in front of me, refusing to let the conversation I had just had with Ronan follow me into the room.Whatever needed to be said between us had been said and there was no reason to keep turning it over in my mind.The summit was still happening, and the border dispute had not disappeared simply because my personal history had finally been spoken aloud.Cassian leaned forward at the head of the table, "Let us continue."One of the Moonblade representatives immediately opened another document."Our hunters had permission to use the eastern section of the forest."A royal adviser shook his head."According to our records, that permission applied only to the older hunting boundary.""Which is exactly the boundary we have been using.""According to an outdated map."The voices began to overlap and I closed my eyes for half a second.Not again!I looked down at the maps spread across th

RONAN"That's enough!” The words had barely left my mouth when the silence in the room changed.Seraphine stared at me and so did everyone else.I was aware of the amount of attention they were paying me but I still didn't take my eyes off Seraphine. For many years, I had taken her explanations without questioning them not because I never doubted anything. It was because I was tired, grieving and working to keep Moonblade standing after the loss of my brother since it had seemed easier to trust Seraphine than to question everything else around me.But recently, it's not the same anymore. I leaned forward.“What's the reason you're questioning Princess Elara's motives?”Seraphine's expression tightened. "I already explained…” "No,”Although my voice wasn't loud, it had the effect of stopping her.“You proposed that she could be using the council to have a personal grudge settled.”“I mentioned that it was a possibility.”“What is it about that possibility that is so important to y
