Chapter 11: Three Shadows in One Room

The door closed behind Ronan with a soft, decisive click.For a moment no one spoke. The guest room, which had felt spacious only minutes earlier, now seemed too small to hold the three of us and the history that came with us. The air grew heavier, charged with the conflicting scents of two Alphas and the restless energy of a damaged bond that didn’t know which direction to pull.Kael was still standing near the center of the room, shoulders tight, golden eyes locked on his brother. I remained closer to the window, arms at my sides, refusing to look cornered even though every instinct in my body had gone sharp and alert. Ronan didn’t move far from the door. He simply stood there, calm and still, silver eyes taking in the scene with quiet calculation.“You left your room,” Ronan said to Kael. His voice was even, but there was steel under it. “After what happened this morning.”Kael’s jaw flexed. “I needed to talk to her.”“And you decided the best way to do that was to drag the bond ba

Chapter 12: What the Patrol Brought Back

The door closed behind Ronan, and the room felt suddenly larger and smaller at the same time.Kael remained where he stood, the tension in his shoulders not fully easing even after his brother left. I could still feel the residual pull of the bond between us, a low, restless ache that refused to settle. Outside the door, hurried footsteps faded down the hallway.

The foyer went quiet in a way that felt wrong.No one moved. Even the two warriors holding the rogue seemed to tighten their grip without realizing it. I stayed on the stairs, one hand on the railing, staring down at the woman kneeling on the stone. Her pale amber eyes didn’t leave me. There was something unsettled in them, not quite madness, but close. Like she had seen too much and hadn’t come all the way back.Ronan spoke first. His voice was low.“Who sent you?”The rogue’s mouth twitched. “No one sends what’s already moving.”Kael had reached the bottom of the stairs by then. I felt him more than I saw him, his presence still carried weight even when he was weak. The bond between us gave a hard, ugly pull the second he got closer. I clenched my jaw and ignored it.“You’re on Blackthorn land,” Kael said. His voice sounded strained. “You don’t get to speak in riddles.”The woman tilted her head toward him, then back to me. “He’s fading. You can smell it, can’t you? The curse is lou
