MAELIS “Is the luna really pregnant?” Hura’s question hung heavily in the silence between us. Her eyes remained fixed on my stomach, wide with disbelief, as if she could see through the thin gown.I opened my mouth, but the words were stuck. And for a second, I didn’t know how to get myself out of this situation. Should I lie to her the way I had lied to Theron?Twice, Theron had almost caught me, but my lie had shielded me. But this… it was different.She was basically seeing the screen.I stared at her face, it was filled with worry, and most especially, loyalty. This was the same face that had helped me off the floor without asking a single question, and had made my years spent in the pack house a bit more comfortable. I couldn’t bring myself to lie to her. I drew in a slow breath and nodded. “Yes,” I said. “I’m pregnant.”Hura’s knees hit the floor so fast that the sound made both me and Sera jump in fear. Tears immediately fell down her cheeks as she pressed both hands over

MAELISI woke up with the same retching sickness that had become part of my mornings.The moment I sat up, my stomach twisted hard as the nausea hit me and I had barely made it to the bathroom before everything came down. I gripped the edge of the sink, shivering, and waiting for the retching to stop. When it finally did, I rinsed my mouth with cold water and stared at my pale reflection.Sigh. When would these actually end? It had just begun, but I was so over it already. I reached for the small drug bottle Sera had given me from the drawer and popped one of the pills into my mouth. The bitter taste spread across my tongue as I swallowed it and a long sigh escaped my lips again.Today I planned on staying in my room and resting. I knew I had created a bit of chaos and the house might be spreading the gossip by now about how the rites ended abruptly.I had barely settled back under the sheets when the door opened to reveal Hura. She stepped in carrying a small jug and a cup in a tr

THERONAfter I stormed out of the garden, the path to the main house felt longer than usual, even with how quickly I was walking.I still remembered Maelis' face and how stubbornly she had behaved. She was becoming too difficult to control, and how dare she hurt my son?Nerine's calm voice echoed in my ears, along with the way she had cried helplessly. She had looked so vulnerable, yet her own sister had chosen to make her life even more miserable.I pushed the study door open and let it shut behind me. The familiar scent of wood and ink did nothing to soothe my irritation. I dropped into the chair behind my desk and stared at the stack of reports waiting for my signature. They were documents from the borders concerning shipments of foreign supplies into the pack.Even as I tried to bury myself in work, I couldn't stop thinking.Maelis had gone too far this time. I knew she had deliberately broken the sacred box, and she didn't seem to feel any guilt about it.What has gotten into he

NERINEIt felt like nature deprived me of sleep because, all night, my thoughts were buried under so many plans I needed to hatch. By the time the first rays of sunlight hit my windowpanes, I threw the sheets off my legs and went to freshen up. My plan was simple. I only needed a few of the elders to agree that rushing the legitimacy rites after the broken whiskers would be unwise.With my father as beta, getting the elders to side with me wasn’t difficult, especially knowing they’d get something beautiful in return. The first person on my list was Elder Miren. Elder Miren had always been soft toward women who had suffered or were going through a lot, and she was a woman who loved lands. It would be easier to get her on my side without much of a hassle. I left my room without a second thought and headed out of the pack. By the time I got to her home, I found her in the small courtyard, feeding her pet bird.She had always had a thing for birds, and I heard she was the most indust

THERONA strange unease settled over me as I stared at the night patrol reports. Something felt off with the rampant raids of the rogues on the pack. It made no sense that for years, I had been able to keep them under control but now, it felt like they were suddenly taking over my pack. I sighed, pushing the documents to the table at my bedside before going to bed. I woke up the next morning with the same unease, and I sat at the edge of the bed wondering how I could combat this without endangering the lives of my pack members.While still in my thoughts, a knock disrupted my line of thought, and my messenger's voice came through from the other end.“Your highness, there’s trouble!” He said out loud, and without thinking twice, I rose from the bed and immediately opened the door. “What is it?” I demanded, my grip tight on the knob.“Three houses in the lower area burned down during the night, and one family is still missing. The whole pack is in a dilemma!” He cried out. My eyes w
