ISADORA'S POVLily reached for my hand again. “Please, Mummy,” she pleaded, looking up at me.I looked down at her small fingers wrapped around mine, and almost groaned. It was really hard to say no to her. I realized I was only allowing my fear to become her limitation.I had missed so much of her life that I wanted to hold on to every part of it now. I wanted to know where she was, what she was doing, who she was with and whether she was safe. But well, protecting her didn't mean making every decision based on the possibility that something could go wrong.I mean, she's been surviving without me.So much so that now I couldn't even tell if my decisions were keeping her safe and just because I was afraid.She was grown.I rubbed my thumb over her hand before finally nodding. “Alright. You can have another turn, but you listen to the trainer, and if you feel uncomfortable or scared, you come down immediately.”“Promise.” she promised quickly.“And if you fall again—”“I won't fall!”

ISADORA'S POVFor a few seconds, no one said anything.The fitting lady looked at me like she suddenly wished she was anywhere else. "What would you mean by that, Isadora?" She stepped forward to touch my arm but I stepped back and glared at her. She continued. "The alpha is only worried about the ceremony and the family's tradition. Even if you don't like it, you don't have to accuse him because of it." She shook her head. "That's unfair and rude.""We'll, shut up. I wasn't talking to you."Caelen's eyes stayed on me. “Leave us.”The fitting lady quickly gathered the fabric from the bed, but before she could take another step, I looked at Seraphina. “She can excuse herself too.”His expression changed slightly. “She stays.”Yeah, sure, she did. He surely wasn't ready to beat the mistress allegations. If anything, he wasn't a bit bothered by it.I folded my arms and looked at him. “Then there really isn't anything for me to say.”I turned toward the fitting lady, who was already mak

ISADORA'S POVI was just pulling the blanket over Lily when Ellie appeared at the bedroom door.“My lady, Alpha Caelen sent word that the pack is gathering at the slaughter ground.”My hand paused on the blanket.“The rogues?”“Yes.” Ellie glanced toward Lily before lowering her voice. “He's having all three of them brought out. Alpha wants to question them about who sent them before the execution.”I looked down at Lily, who was watching us with the kind of curiosity that always meant she was about to start asking questions.“The execution is happening tonight?”Ellie nodded.That settled one thing for me immediately.Lily was not going.I smoothed the blanket over her and sat beside her. “You need to stay in bed tonight.”Her brows drew together. “Why?”“Because I said so.”“That doesn't tell me why.”I almost smiled. She really did have an answer for everything.I tucked the blanket around her shoulders and leaned closer. “There's something happening at the slaughter ground, and it

ISADORA'S POVThe first thing I noticed was the prickling beneath my skin.It started as a faint, uncomfortable sensation, scattered across my arms and shoulders, almost like the feeling of tiny needles brushing against me from the inside. I rubbed my palms over my arms, expecting the sensation to ease, but it only spread farther, creeping along my back and down my sides until I found myself shifting impatiently in front of the mirror.“Hold still, my lady. You'll ruin your hair.”The maid standing behind me gave a small, disapproving sigh as she adjusted the ornaments in my hair. I barely heard her. My attention remained fixed on the strange sensation beneath my skin, which grew more noticeable each time I tried to ignore it.“Is something wrong with the dress?” she asked when I tugged at the fabric around my waist.“No. It's fine.”It was a beautiful dress, pale and shimmering beneath the lights in the room, its fitted bodice embroidered with delicate silver patterns that continued

ISADORA'S POVI couldn't decide which irritated me more, Seraphina's convenient illness or the fact that she had somehow managed to turn my collapse into another opportunity to keep Caelen by her side.Perhaps I was being unfair. She might genuinely have felt unwell, and I had no proof that she'd done it deliberately. Still, the timing was difficult to ignore, especially when I remembered the way she'd looked at me before Caelen took her away. I couldn't shake the feeling that she'd noticed my condition and found a way to make sure he wouldn't come near me.Not that I needed him to.I shifted against the pillows, trying to settle into a comfortable position, but my body felt heavier than usual. My head ached, and although the burning sensation from my dream had disappeared, I could still remember it with uncomfortable clarity. I rubbed my palm over my chest, half expecting to feel that awful heat gathering beneath my skin again.Nothing happened.It had only been a dream, I reminded m
