“You don’t have to chase power when it walks its pregnant little feet back to your door.” My stomach clenched. Pregnant. Little feet. She paused, listening. “The heir is the key,” she said, softer now, intent sharpening. “The Lunaris heir resonance gives us leverage over wolves *and* over the Tribunal. Bloodline on our side means we stop playing by their rules and start writing new ones.” Lunaris heir resonance. Something cold threaded through my ribs, sharp and metallic, like my own blood recoiling from the idea. I curled my hands over my belly without thinking, fingers splaying protectively.

“Front page of three entertainment sites. Two business blogs. And one political rag that should absolutely know better.” Zara sent the link. Alicia didn’t open it right away.

But they’re circling.”

She asked with a more polite tone. “It is as what you’ve said.” She transferred her eyes to Carsillion, who moved and slowly opened his eyes, which Ashriel covered with her hands. She is the third grandchild, so why is it that people addressed her as the Heir? What she knew was that Amber WILL be the Heir. “I don’t understand.”

he said to Lyra, “then there is a third option.” Everyone looked at him. Lyra narrowed her eyes. “There is no third heir.” Kairos’s gaze did not waver. “No.” He looked at me. Then at Kael. “Not heir.” He turned back to Lyra. “Anchor.” Confusion rippled through the clearing. “What are you talking about?” I asked. Kairos’s voice dropped. “If two heirs cannot Ascend in opposition without fracturing the land…” He stepped closer to the boundary line. “Then one must step outside the bloodline.”

“Before the packs. Before dominance became law.” A cold realization settled in her chest. “That’s why they were hunted,” she said. “Yes.” His voice softened but it didn’t feel kind. “It took centuries to wipe them out.” Lucian swore under his breath. “And now,” the man continued, “you carry something even more valuable than that bloodline.” His gaze dropped again to her stomach. Icarra’s breath caught. “The heir,” he said quietly, “is not just a child.” Her entire body went rigid. “It is the first true Sovereign born in generations.”

Zale's mother paused and looked at grandpapa saying that he should the one to say it. "It was to gather the heirs of each throne. The heir of the Fire's Throne, Seraphina Agni, the heir of the Ocean's throne, Zale Altan. The two of you who are together meaning that you are about to be completed." He said. I am the heir of the Fire's throne, a title that holds so much power. It's like next to being a God. Zale patted my shoulder and nodded at me. I looked at the scenery, there is nothing to see but the vast ocean. I sighed.

"But baby, you never really told me why they are after you. I've let it go for many days but I want to know now." He knew this was going to happen. He inhaled deeply, exhaling the next second and he looks at her. "I'm the heir of the Corporal Group. Whenever someone succeeds in the title, some other family loves hunting the successor, sometimes just one of the family will attend. They hunt before, during, and in the next twenty-four hours. It's vital that they do it after the announced date of accession because if they do it before, it's just not a thing. "Since I am the heir, I am that fresh meat in a market full of rotten ones," he explained.

Next slide. Unified Heir Training Program “At age fourteen…” I continued, “…all heirs will spend their summers at the Asher estate.” Murmurs again. “They will learn the business.” “Understand operations.” “Build relationships across branches.” I paused. “No heir will grow up isolated.” That line hit. Hard. “No heir will grow up unaware.” Another. “And no heir will grow up unprepared.” Silence. Because they understood. What I was really saying. No more weak heirs.

A perfect, silent, eternal cold. The Crimson Heir. Heir to nothing.
