Chapter 41.

SELENEI couldn’t get my father’s words out of my head. Neither could I forget Emeric’s face when I mentioned the treason charge.He didn't look surprised. He had looked caught. That was the difference.I waited until the Vale estate quieted before returning to the study. I knew what I was looking for. I just didn’t know whether I was ready to find it.The door was unlocked. That surprised me.Emeric had always been careful with his private correspondence, especially anything connected to the Council. I stepped inside and closed the door.“Let’s see what you’re hiding.”I went straight to the desk. I checked the drawers. Property records. Financial documents. Old Council notices. Nothing about my family. I pulled open the bottom drawer.A small wooden compartment was hidden under it.My fingers stopped.“You really should have learned that hiding places only work when nobody knows they exist.”I pressed the loose panel. It opened. Inside was a bundle of old correspondence tied with fa

MERRYNI stared at Selene’s message for almost a minute.I KNOW WHO LIED ABOUT MY FAMILY.I had every reason to ignore it. Selene was Lucian’s former lover. The woman he had wanted before me.The woman who had stood beside him while I was still wearing the ring she was waiting to replace. Trusting her felt almost as sensible as trusting Lucian’s father.But the message mentioned the cipher. The same cipher we had found around the Dominion records.I typed one response. Where?Her answer came quickly.The old Moon Market. East entrance. No guards. No Lucian. No Rhydian.I stared at the last sentence. Then I replied.One hour.Selene was already waiting when I arrived. She stood beside an abandoned fountain, her arms folded.“You came.”“I almost didn’t.”“I know.”I stopped several feet away.“If this is a trap, you won’t get a second chance.”Selene gave a small nod, “I expected that.”“Good.”She reached into her coat.I immediately stiffened.“Slowly.”She pulled out a folded docume

MERRYNBy the time Selene and I returned to the safe house, Tavish had already covered half the table with old records. He looked up when we entered. His eyes went to Selene first.Then to me.“You brought her here?”“She has something we need.”Selene placed the copied cipher on the table.“This.”Tavish picked it up.His expression changed almost immediately.“Where did you get this?”“My family’s correspondence.”“You’re certain it’s genuine?”Selene folded her arms.“I’ve spent years studying the documents that destroyed my family. I’m certain.”Tavish looked at me. I nodded.“It’s the same symbol we’ve been finding around the Dominion records.”Rhydian wasn’t there. I noticed that immediately. Tavish spread the cipher beside several old archive pages.“Then let’s see what it says.”Selene moved closer.“Can you read it?”“Not directly.”“Then what good is it?”Tavish gave her a look.“It isn’t a language. It’s a reference system.”I frowned.“Meaning?”“The marks correspond to ca

RHYDIANI couldn’t take my eyes off Merryn’s name.MERRYN VALE — FUTURE ACTIVATION CANDIDATE.Tavish stood beside me, reading the report over my shoulder, “How long have they been monitoring her?”I turned the page.“According to this, since childhood.”Merryn’s expression tightened, “Since childhood?”I looked at her. She was staring at the report, but I could see the anger building behind her eyes.“There’s a monitoring record,” I said carefully. “It lists changes in your Bloodlock.”“Changes?”“Your bracelet. Your bond. Your emotional responses.”She gave a bitter laugh.“So they were watching me grow up.”“Yes.”“How?”Tavish took the report from me.“Indirect observation, mostly. Medical records. Pack reports. Witness accounts.”Merryn’s face went pale.“Witness accounts?”Tavish hesitated.“People reported unusual reactions around you.”“The wolves.”“Yes.”I looked at the next page. There were dates. Seven years old. Ten. Fourteen. Eighteen. Twenty-one. Twenty-four. Each one ha

MERRYNI found Rhydian in the archive. He was standing over the report Tavish had left open. He looked up when I entered.“You heard me.”It wasn’t a question.“Yes.”He closed his eyes briefly, “What did you hear?”“Enough to know that Nocturne benefits from my pain.”His expression tightened.“That isn’t what I meant.”“Then tell me what you meant.”He stepped away from the table.“Merryn…”“No.”I walked closer.“You don’t get to do that.”“Do what?”“Give me half an answer and expect me to be satisfied because you’re trying to protect my feelings.”“I wasn’t trying to protect your feelings.”“Then what were you doing?”He looked at me.“Protecting you.”I laughed bitterly.“From the truth?”“Yes.”“That’s exactly what everyone else has done.”His jaw tightened.“I know.”“Then stop.”He said nothing. I pointed toward the report.“Tell me what Nocturne needs from me.”Rhydian looked down at the page.“Our supernatural power has been weakening.”I waited.“How long?”“Years.”“And y

MERRYN“My marriage was the seal.”The words were still in my head when I woke up. My first instinct was to move my wrist.Pain answered immediately. I sucked in a breath and pushed myself upright. The mark had spread. What had once been a small black crescent beneath my palm now reached toward my wrist in thin, branching lines. They weren’t random. They curved around the old crack in the bracelet as though something beneath my skin was trying to find a way out. I stared at it.“That’s new.”Rhydian was sitting several feet away. He stood almost immediately.“You’ve been awake for less than ten seconds.”“And you’ve been watching me sleep?”“I’ve been making sure you were breathing.”“That sounds suspiciously like watching.”His mouth twitched.“Your humor survived.”“So did I.”He came closer, then stopped.“Can I look?”I held out my hand. He examined the mark without touching it, “It spread.”“I noticed.”“Does it hurt?”“Yes.”“How badly?”“Enough that I’m considering becoming un

MERRYNThe shouting reached me before the guards did.“Merryn!”I turned toward the corridor. Tavish came through the doorway with two men supporting an injured wolf between them.“Move!”They lowered him onto the table. Blood covered his shirt.“What happened?” I asked.“Training accident,” Tavish said. “He was thrown against a broken ward.”I looked at the wound. It was deep. The wolf’s breathing was shallow, and his skin had already begun losing its warmth.“How long?”“Less than ten minutes.”I shook my head.“Then why isn’t a healer working on him?”“The healer is on the other side of the compound.”“And?”Tavish’s expression told me everything.“We don’t have time.”The injured wolf opened his eyes.“Please…”I stepped closer.“Don’t talk.”His fingers caught mine.“I don’t want to die.”Something inside me twisted. I had heard those words before. I looked at the wound.Then at my palm. The black mark was still there. Rhydian appeared behind Tavish.“Merryn.”I looked at him.“I

Chapter 48.

RHYDIANI found Merryn in the archive long after everyone else had gone. She was sitting on the floor with a stack of papers around her, staring at one page as though she could force the missing memory back into existence. I stopped at the doorway.“You should be sleeping.”She didn’t look up.“I tried.”“And?”“I couldn’t.”I stepped inside.“What are you doing?”“Trying to remember.”I knew what she meant.“The smell?”She nodded.“I remember everything around it, but not the smell itself.”She rubbed her forehead, “I know my mother was holding me. I know I was laughing. I remember the sunlight, the grass, the sound of her voice, but there is this empty space where something used to be.”I sat across from her.“Maybe you shouldn’t force it.”She looked at me.“That sounds like something people say when they don’t know how to help.”“I don’t know how to help you remember it.”She lowered her eyes.“At least you’re honest.”I glanced at the papers beside her.“What are those?”“Everyt

Chapter 49.

MERRYNI knew something was wrong with my reflection the moment I stopped moving. The woman in the mirror should have stopped with me.Instead, she kept breathing. I stood in front of the washroom mirror with one hand braced against the counter, staring at myself as my chest rose and fell. My hair was loose around my shoulders, my face still pale from the restless sleep I had barely managed to get.Nothing looked unusual. Then my reflection blinked. I didn’t. My fingers tightened around the edge of the counter.For several seconds, neither of us moved.Then I slowly lifted my right hand. The woman in the mirror lifted hers at exactly the same time. I let out the breath I had been holding.“You’re exhausted,” I whispered to myself.The reflection smiled faintly.I didn’t.My stomach dropped. I stepped backward so quickly that my hip struck the counter. The smile vanished.My reflection

Chapter 50.

MERRYNI couldn’t stop thinking about the wolf’s mouth or the name it had silently spoken.I still didn’t know what it meant, but something about the reflection had left me with a question that mattered more than the name. If the Eclipse power was truly awakening, what exactly could it do?I found Rhydian in the training chamber the following morning, standing beside the table where he had arranged several old records and notes from the Dominion files. He looked up when I entered.“You came early.”“I couldn’t sleep.”His expression tightened.“Because of last night?”“Partly.”I walked toward the table.“I want to test the Eclipse power.”Rhydian immediately stopped what he was doing.“Why?”“Because I’m tired of being afraid of something I don’t understand.”
