THERON POVFrom the windows of the Throne Room, I have a clear view of the training grounds.Normally, I only glance outside occasionally in-between breaks from work. Today, however, my attention doesn’t waver from Lyra.She’s different. I notice it almost immediately. Her movements are faster than they used to be. Cleaner. More precise. There is less hesitation in the way she fights, as though she’s finally learned to trust her instincts, even if she often seems surprised by it.I watch silently as Seris circles her. Lyra takes cautious, deliberate steps with her every movement, careful not to leave an opening. When Seris attacks, Lyra dodges, and they begin again.Without realizing it, I lean closer to the window. There’s something almost mesmerizing about watching her train. The Omega who once struggled to keep up with Seris is now moving with a confidence I haven't seen from her before.And Seris seems to notice it too.She picks up her pace, upping the difficulty. When Seris make

THERON POVMy gaze shifts between Lyra and the maids standing behind her. The women have gone pale, but she seems even more terrified.A moment ago, while I was sitting at my desk, I sensed my mate’s apprehension through our bond. I stood up immediately. By the time I made it through the door, whatever had caused it seemed to be over, but the scene before me makes it easy to put two and two together.Still, I need confirmation before punishing the maids.“What’s going on?” I ask.To my surprise, Lyra blurts out, “Nothing.”The answer comes so quickly that my brows rise.Before I can question her further, she bows. “I apologize for being a few minutes late, Your Majesty. Please tell me what I must do today, and I’ll get right to it.”She doesn’t give me a chance to respond. She slips past me and disappears into my office.My gaze returns to the maids. They don’t need an invitation. In a blink, they scatter down the corridor.Something is wrong.I follow Lyra inside and close the door b

THERON POVMy blood runs cold.At first, I don’t understand what’s going on, until I remember. The door. In my panic over Lyra, I forgot to lock the fucking door.But who would barge into my chambers at this hour?For one horrifying second, I fear it might be Valeria. She’s the only one who thinks she has a right to enter my room without permission, and she’s been relentlessly testing my patience lately. I wouldn’t put it past her to try and sneak in.Yet as the intruder stops dead in their tracks, I realize it’s someone else.“For all that’s holy!” Adrian exclaims.Horror flashes across my Beta’s expression as he stands in the doorway. Once he realizes what Lyra and I are doing, he brings one hand up to his face to cover his eyes, at the same time he quickly spins around.“Why didn’t you lock the door?!” he shrieks, as if this is my fault.My temper flares instantly.“Why didn’t you knock?!” I roar.“I did!” he protests with his back to me. “Clearly, you were too busy to hear me.”“G

LYRA POVThe woman’s affirmation catches me off-guard.I recognize her from around the castle. Emma. There’s something unsettling about the amused look she gives me that sends a shiver down my spine.I don’t have a good feeling about this.When I freeze, Seris steps forward. I understand why immediately—she intends to intervene. She’ll insist that no one else can spar with me other than her. And that makes me even more uneasy than the idea of pairing up with Emma.“Alright,” I blurt out, looking into Emma’s eyes as I step forward myself. “I’ll spar with you.”Seris’ wide eyes snap to me. Judging by her expression, she’s trying to decide whether I’m crazy or just straight-up stupid. Her concern makes me swallow, but I don’t back down.“It’s okay,” I reassure her. “I can handle it.”Seris hesitates, her eyes flicking between Emma and me. For a moment, she looks like she might ignore my wishes and step in anyway. Eventually, she sighs and reluctantly steps aside, but her worried gaze nev

LYRA POVI stand frozen as Valeria towers over me.When I started making my way toward Theron’s chambers, carrying his freshly laundered clothes as a convenient excuse in case anyone saw me entering his room, I never expected to find her walking out of his door.My heart sinks. Theron told me he had king duties to take care of today. He never explained what those duties were, and I told myself I had no reason to question him.Until I find Valeria coming out of his room.The pieces fall into place far too easily. My fingers tighten around the bundle of clothes as pain twists through my chest.Before I can say anything, Valeria’s lips curve into a knowing smile.“It was lovely spending time with you, my King,” she calls over her shoulder.She doesn't even bother looking back at Theron. She just walks past me like I’m not even there.I remain completely still, staring after her as her footsteps fade down the corridor. My chest feels hollow. For a few seconds, all I can think about is the
