Aurora stared at the symbol. “Cassian, what is that symbol?”Cassian didn’t answer right away. He stepped closer, then raised his hand without touching the surface of the stone. His expression turned serious.“I’ve seen it before.”“Where?”“On the battlefield.”Aurora fell silent. Cassian stared at the symbol as if he were seeing something from decades ago.“This isn’t a Moonveil symbol.”“Could it be a symbol of the Northern Pole kingdom?”Cassian nodded. “It’s not their kingdom’s symbol either.”Aurora furrowed her brow. “Then?”“It’s the symbol of the group behind the war.”Aurora’s heart began to race. “A group?”“It’s called the Order of the Broken Moon.” Cassian finally touched the emblem.“A secret group that existed long before I became King.”Aurora looked at him. “So they’re the ones who started the war?”“Not directly.” Cassian took a breath. “They made both kingdoms believe that the other was preparing an attack.”He explained that years before the war, the group had spre

That night, Aurora sat alone by the window in her room. On the table lay a blank sheet of paper. She had been staring at it for nearly ten minutes. She wanted to write, but didn’t know where to start.One name kept popping into her head: Lila. Her best friend. The person who was always by her side when Silver Pine felt too much to bear alone. The person who was probably still wondering where Aurora had gone.Aurora gripped the pen. Then she began to write.Dear Lila, I’m sorry I’m only reaching out to you now. I’m also sorry for leaving without saying goodbye to you. Back then, everything happened too fast. I didn’t know where to go, who I could trust, or if I’d be okay. I wanted to find you. I wanted to tell you that I’m okay.But I was afraid this letter would fall into the wrong hands. So I waited until I found a safe way to reach you. Lila, I’m okay now. I’m in the Moonveil Dominion now. I know it might be hard for you to believe, but I’ve finally found a place where I don’t have

Aurora had barely been able to sit still since morning. She paced back and forth in front of her bedroom window, occasionally glancing toward the main gate of Moonveil. It was almost noon. Lila was supposed to arrive today. Or at least, that was the latest update from the Shadow Warrior escorting Lila’s journey.“She’ll arrive before the sun gets too high.”That’s what Cassian had said earlier that morning. Still, Aurora felt like time was dragging on too slowly.“You’ve looked at that gate at least twenty times.” Cassian’s voice came from behind her.Aurora turned around. Cassian was leaning against the doorframe, trying to hold back a smile.“I wasn’t counting.”“I was the one counting.”Aurora pursed her lips. “I was just making sure.”“Making sure of what?”“That Lila is really coming here today.”Cassian stepped closer. “She’ll definitely come.”“But what if something happens on their journey?”“My Shadow Warrior is escorting her.”“What if...”Cassian immediately took her hand.

Lila’s first morning at Moonveil felt strange. Not because the place was unfamiliar. Rather, because everything felt too quiet. There were no whispers from the people of Silver Pine behind her. No condescending stares. No fear every time Alpha Ryder’s footsteps echoed down the hallway.Only the sound of birds from the garden and the aroma of freshly baked bread from the palace kitchen. Lila stood at her bedroom window, gazing at the scene. She still found it hard to believe she was actually here. A knock sounded at the door.“Come in.”The door opened. Aurora appeared, carrying two cups of tea. “Good morning.”Lila smiled. “Good morning.”Aurora handed her one of the cups. “I’ve already asked the kitchen to prepare breakfast.”“You didn’t have to go to all that trouble.”“It’s no trouble.” Aurora sat down in a chair by the window. “I’m just glad you’re here.”Lila sat down across from her. For a few seconds, they simply enjoyed their tea. Until finally, Aurora asked.“How are you feel

The atmosphere on the balcony changed in an instant. Just a few seconds ago, Aurora had been smiling as she watched Lily and Kaelan from a distance. Now, her thoughts were focused solely on the symbol on the black cloth: a cracked moon, a symbol that should have been buried long ago along with the history of the Moonveil War.“Who found this?” Cassian asked.“The border patrol, Your Highness.”“How many?”“Four warriors.”“And they all saw this?”“Yes.”Cassian took the cloth from the Shadow Warrior’s hand. He examined it closely. No blood. No writing. Just the Broken Moon symbol stitched with silver thread.Gareth stepped closer. “This isn’t an ordinary piece of cloth.”Cassian nodded. “The silver thread.”Gareth touched the edge of the cloth. “Made using an ancient technique.”Aurora looked at them. “What does that mean?”Cassian looked up. “The Broken Moon group used to use this symbol to mark messages, meeting places, and secret paths.”“So someone left it here on purpose?”“It lo
