Chapter 41

Zaren’s POV“None of that is happening.”My father’s voice had barely settled over the room when I turned toward him, my jaw tightening as I stared him down.“I’m not marrying any of them. No one is dying, and we are all going to pretend we never heard this conversation today.”The words left my mouth with enough certainty to make the room feel smaller and my father’s expression hardened.“You are becoming disrespectful.”A humorless laugh escaped me. I dragged a hand over my face, feeling the familiar pressure of my wolf pushing against my ribs. He had been restless ever since I sensed Lyra’s fear through the mate bond, and every second I spent standing in this room while she was somewhere outside my reach was another second closer to losing control.“What’s disrespectful,” I said, lowering my hand and meeting my father’s eyes, “...is dishonoring my mother by trying to sabotage my health, then standing here pretending your demands are somehow for the good of this family.”His nostril

Chapter 42

Zaren's Pov Touch her and you'll lose everything you've built! The warning wasn't mine.My wolf had surfaced so violently that my vision blurred at the edges.I clenched my fists until my nails dug into my palms.“You wouldn't try that...”My father's gaze never wavered. “Whoecer your mate is, She is the cure to your curse.”The words struck harder than they should have.I already knew. I had spent years hearing the same thing whispered behind closed doors. Every healer, every priestess, every royal physician had eventually reached the same conclusion.My curse was eating away at me.Slowly and silently and somewhere along the way, the ancient laws of our bloodline had decided that my mate's blood could cure it.A convenient solution.A beautiful woman brought into the royal family, bonded through blood, drained of what made her mine, and turned into nothing more than medicine.I had refused that fate long before I knew Lyra existed. Now that I had found her, there was no force on ea

Chapter 43

Lyra’s POV“You stupid, ungrateful child!”My father’s yell was still ringing through my ears when his palm struck my cheek.My head snapped sideways, and the force of the blow sent me crashing onto the hardwood floor. Pain exploded across my face, followed by the sharp sting of my shoulder hitting the edge of the table.For a moment, I couldn't breathe. I lay there with one hand pressed against the floor, my hair falling across my face as I tried to steady myself.Ash stirred inside me.So faint I almost wondered if I had imagined it.For three years, my wolf had learned silence. Pain had taught her to hide, and Ironmoor had taught both of us that fighting back only made the punishment worse.But she was trying now…trying to rise and trying to protect me.My fingers curled against the floor as I pushed myself upright.My father's face was red with fury.“How dare you defy us?” he shouted, stepping toward me. “What the hell were you thinking? That you could become a warrior of Silver

Chapter 44

Lyra’s POV “I didn't bring it.” My voice shook, but I forced myself to keep my eyes on Kael. “I threw it away.” For a second, nobody moved, then Kael's face changed. The anger in his eyes deepened until the brown of his irises disappeared beneath a violent red glow. His jaw tightened, and his fingers curled into fists at his sides. “You threw it away?” He stepped toward me. I instinctively moved backward, but my injured body betrayed me. My shoulder struck the wall, and pain shot down my back. Kael lifted his hand and I closed my eyes. “That's enough, Alpha Kael.” Darian's voice came from behind him and Kael's raised hand remained suspended in the air. Darian stepped between us, his expression strained as he looked at Kael. “Please…She's barely standing.”

Chapter 45

Zaren’s POV I was sitting at the head of the council table, surrounded by elders who had spent the better part of an hour discussing numbers, routes, trade agreements, and territorial access but none of it was reaching me. My fingers rested against the polished wood while an elder from Oakwood Pack continued explaining the terms of the business agreement. Maps had been spread across the table, sealed documents placed beside them, and several wolves were already arguing over percentages. I heard the words but I simply wasn't listening. My mind was somewhere else. With Lyra. I could still feel the faint pull of the mate bond in my chest. It had been there since I woke, quiet but persistent, like someone tugging at a thread tied directly around my heart. Was she eating? Was she sleeping? Had Kael hurt her again?

Chapter 46

Zaren's Pov My shoulders ached by the time I reached Ashbourne, I didn't want any attention so I didn't use any means of conveying myself down here aside from my wolf. I wanted nothing aside from her scent and to see that she was still breathing.Then the courtyard opened, and every careful plan I had made burned away.Selene stood on the stone steps like a painting someone had paid too much for. She's in a pale dress and a lot of unnecessary jewelleries adorned on her. In her fingers was a piece of bread, still warm enough that a thin thread of steam lifted from the crust. She looked at Lyra with disgust and threw the bread on the floor. It hit the dirt near Lyra’s feet who had been asking questions but they ignored her.And to my horror Lyra bent and picked it up.For a moment I could not hear the courtyard. I could only hear my own blood. Gold slammed across my vision so hard the world narrowed to her hands, thin and careful, brushing dirt from food that should never have touched

Chapter 47

Selene’s POVI couldn't sit still.I had crossed my bedroom so many times that the carpet beneath my feet might as well have memorized my footsteps. Every few seconds, I glanced toward the door as though Lyra might suddenly burst through it with a miracle in her hands.She has Six days, only six days.My nails dug into my palms.“Why does she have to be so damn stubborn?” I muttered, turning toward my friend. “Why can't she do one simple thing for me and for herself? If she cooperates, she walks away from all of this. She gets her freedom, I get what I want, and everyone wins.”My friend sat on the edge of my bed, watching me pace.“She threw the poison away,” I continued, my voice climbing with frustration. “Do you understand how insane that is? Kael gave her one job.”My friend shifted uncomfortably.“Selene, I know how badly you want the Alpha King, but what happened at the tournament was risky and—”“Shut up.”She stopped and I turned toward her.“We're not trying to kill him.”My
