💫RAYNE💫 I woke with the taste of blood in my mouth, and for one terrible second I thought I was still trapped inside the dream itself. Green fire flickered behind my closed eyes, Emery's body arched beneath Warren's, his teeth already bared and gleaming in that sickly emerald light. I squeezed my eyes shut tighter, desperate to force the image back down before it could finish reforming, but it had already taken root, vivid and merciless, dragging the same aching pressure straight back into my chest. Then Talia's face surfaced instead, cutting clean through the memory of green fire. Her bruised wrist. The way she had yanked her hand back from mine, tucking it hard against her own side. The tears already thick in her voice before she turned and walked away from me without a single explanation. My eyes snapped open. I was no longer thinking about Warren clearing an entire plate at that dinner table while he didn’t even eat my own porridge he had ordered me to cook. I needed to fi

🩸WARREN🩸I stood at the edge of the rooftop, dressed in red already stained darker at the cuffs where I’d worn it too many days running without bothering to change it, and watched the first of the Alpha delegations roll through the front gate below.Carriages. Horses. Banners snapping stiff in the wind, each one carrying some crest I’d memorized decades ago without ever once caring what they meant.Not a single warrior among any of them.I counted again, certain I’d miscounted the first time, and found the same pattern repeating itself across every delegation crossing beneath my gate.

I let my eyes sweep the table one final time. "Isn't that the exact same question every single one of you came here tonight to answer for yourselves?"Silence answered me.Chairs shifted, wood creaking soft against stone as half the table found sudden interest in their own hands, their own goblets, anything that let them avoid holding my gaze a moment longer than necessary. Discomfort settled thick across the hall, heavy enough that I heard someone's breath catch and hold. Nobody wanted to be the one to break it first.Except Cassian and Thane, both fighting hard against laughter at the far end of the table, their shoulders shaking with the effort of holding it in, Thane's hand pressed flat over his own mouth. Nobody in this room had recognized either of them yet as anything beyond servants of Hous
