Cassian POVI slammed the document the Council had just sent onto the desk.The Council’s seal was stamped across the first page.Contingency Heir Plan.The Council wanted me to name a contingency heir from one of Blackthorn’s collateral bloodlines.They hadn’t even confirmed whether Iris was pregnant yet. I left the line blank.“Prepare a report.”The attendant standing beside the desk looked up at once.“On every decision the Council has made in the past five years.”“Every decision that affected Blackthorn’s internal affairs.” I looked at the document on the desk. “Find the ones that exceeded their authority.”“Yes, Lord Cassian.”“Send it to the Council.”I paused.“Tell them I expect their answer in two days.”The attendant bowed his head in acknowledgment.On the surface, they had shown me enough respect.They had not touched Rowan’s Alpha title, and they had even placed the power to choose the backup heir in my hands.But I would not write down a single name.The name itself d

Iris POVWhen I returned to my rooms, Nora was still waiting in the outer chamber.She had followed me from Ashborne to Blackthorn and looked after me ever since.The candle on the table had burned more than halfway down.She stood as soon as she saw me.“Luna.”I closed the door.“Heat some water.

Their mingled scents were still there.I stood in the shadows, one hand against the cold stone wall. Neither Cassian nor Gideon knew I was listening.Anger came first.For a month, I'd worried whether Rowan was alive. My father had nearly died looking for him.

Last night, I'd stood in that study
