Wren's POVCeleste stood still for a long time. She was at the edge of the trees. Her arms were around her body as if she felt cold. The evening was warm though. I could still feel sweat drying on my neck.Kade stood up quickly. He moved away from me with care. But she had already seen us."Celeste.""Do not speak," she said. Her voice was steady. That made it harder. "I am not here to cause trouble, Kade. Father wants to talk with you about tomorrow. I came to find you. I did not come to see your head on my sister like a story we cannot live anymore.""It was not""I do not want to hear what it was not." She looked at me at last. The anger from before was gone. Only tiredness stayed in her eyes. "I used to believe you were the one person in this house who would never turn against me, Wren. Out of everyone.""I never wanted any of this.""I know." She said it in a plain way without meanness. That hurt more than shouting would. "That is almost the worst part. None of you wanted it. The

Wren's pov"Stand up," Thane ordered. His tone stayed hard and empty. "Put your clothes on before another person comes near."I reached for the clothes in a rush. Heat flooded my face. My fingers trembled so much the fabric would not settle right. Thane kept his eyes on me the whole time. He offered no kindness at all."Where did your Alpha go?" he asked. "I expect he left so he would not have to face the result of what he began.""He was gone before the sun rose. I have no idea where.""How useful for him." Thane struck the dirt floor once with his cane. The sound cut through the quiet. "Do you grasp what you have done, girl? Of all the nights you could choose, you pick this one while the council already watches the two of you.""What happened here is none of the council's business.""Everything that involves you is the council's business now." His gaze moved across me without warmth or pity. "Tracks led me toward this barn before I ever saw you inside. Another person knew to search

Wren's POVNothing moved at first. One long second stretched out and I was sure the fire from my dream had come with me into the real world. I was sure the burning face that looked like mine had left my mind and was standing right there in the room.Then the shape shifted. Moonlight landed on a face I recognized."Celeste?""You screamed," she said softly. "The sound came through the wall."My heart kept slamming into my ribs. I dragged the blanket higher around me. Suddenly I felt bare and I could not stop shaking. "I am okay. Go back to sleep.""You always say that." She stayed right where she was at the foot of the bed. "I do not think those words mean what you hope they mean anymore.""What are you doing here, Celeste? It is the middle of the night.""I have no idea." She folded her arms around herself. The weak light made her look younger than she had in a long time. All the shine and certainty from the ceremony was gone. "I could not rest either. I heard you call out and I promi

Wren's povNearly half a week slipped by before Odette permitted Kade to leave the mattress for anything beyond brief intervals, and even those she granted only while grumbling about pigheaded Alphas convinced recovery obeyed whatever timeline they preferred to dictate. Those days found me shifting constantly between the kitchen boards Vivian still demanded stay immaculate and the cramped guest chamber where Kade mended, snatching whatever stolen minutes the chores allowed so I could remain near while Odette swapped out the dressings.Grier offered no further remarks concerning Celeste after the blaze itself. Still, I noticed how his gaze tracked her during every meal, that measured silent doubt aimed squarely at her every motion. He made no effort to conceal it from me, though he kept it hidden from the rest.When the fifth morning arrived Odette at last softened her stance. She pronounced him steady enough for measured steps provided someone remained near in case his legs failed. Ma

Wren's pov"Celeste." Some leftover reflex made me stretch my fingers toward hers looking for calm even at this point. "Spell out the problem. I need the truth."She yanked her arm clear before any contact happened and shot a look over her shoulder at Priya who stayed mute in the dim area by the steps staring at the pair of us."Not possible," Celeste said under her breath. "Wrong location. Wrong setup.""You announced seconds ago that sharing with a person was required.""The requirement exists. Willingness does not match it yet." Her stare jumped frantic and red edged between me and Priya as if stuck between two selves she could not join. "Actions I launched keep rolling past any brake I own. That forms the entire limit of disclosure available this second.""Celeste if danger touches Kade or the whole pack""The full weight sits clear in my head." Her volume broke harsh but stayed low enough to die inside the corridor. "Zero people under this roof map the weight more accurately than
