Ansel POV Did the Fae Queen just bow to Raven?My jaw tensed. Something about this didn’t sit right. Not the reverence in her voice. Not the look she gave Raven, like she’d found the moon herself. And not the eerie quiet that followed, like the room was holding its breath.Something was slipping through my fingers. My control, my order and my position.I took a breath and closed the distance between us. My fingers gripped Raven’s shoulders before I could think better of it. She stiffened beneath my touch.“Raven,” I said, turning her to face me, “we’re not done talking.”Her eyes lifted to mine, she looked so uncertain. She opened her mouth like she had something to say.Then she just collapsed.Right in front of me.My hands jerked forward too late, catching nothing but air as her body dropped backwards. For a second, I didn’t move. I stood there frozen, my mind blank and stunned.Rowan rushed past me, fast as hell, catching Raven before her head hit the floor. He cradled her like s

Raven POV My voice cracked at the end, and I hated how uncertain I sounded. I turned slightly toward Rowan. His face was unreadable, but I could feel it—the tension in him, the weight of what he wasn’t saying. He hadn’t told them what my blood had done… and neither had I.Maybe he was protecting me. Or maybe… he didn’t know what it meant either. Ansel’s sharp eyes never left me. The silence stretched, unbearable, as if everyone in the room was waiting for something. Then suddenly something shifted deep inside me. It was almost like a whisper, faint but undeniable. The tug, the pull, it was as if something—or someone—was calling to me.I was tense. The sensation was foreign, yet familiar. It was the same feeling I felt when I saw loira. It was as if a thread of magic had wrapped itself around my heart and was pulling me toward something I couldn’t see. I tried to ignore it, telling myself it was nothing. Just another thing my mind was making up.But no, it was too real.I blinked,

Raven POV We finally crossed the border into Crescent Silver Park two days after finding out about my pregnancy. We would’ve arrived sooner, but Rowan and Liora were so considerate of me, making sure I was as comfortable as possible. I’ve tried to push my pregnancy out of my mind, to ignore the growing life inside me, but it’s always there, lurking at the back of my thoughts.The place looked almost exactly as I remembered it, but the weight of the situation hit me hard. Considering how I’d been treated here—less than a slave, barely a person—it felt surreal to be back. But I was here now, and this time, things were going to change. The moment we crossed into the territory, everything felt different.I could feel determination coursing through my veins as we made our way to the palace.Rowan shifted into his human form beside me, followed by Liora.Before we could take another step, the sound of boots hitting the ground echoed around us as guards swarmed in, weapons drawn and read

Raven POV“I’m pregnant,” I said, freezing as the words left my mouth. “What does this mean for me now?”I turned to Rowan, heart pounding. “Rowan, what does this mean?”He shifted, rubbing the back of his neck like he wished he could take it back. “I— I’m sorry for bringing it up now.I just thought… you needed to know. So you’d take better care of yourself. "And because…” He hesitated, eyes dropping. “You can’t come with me. Not anymore. Not on the rest of this quest.”“No,” I breathed. “No, I—”“Raven,” he said gently, painfully. “Don’t fight me on this. Please.”His eyes—gods, I had never seen them look like that. Distant, aching. Sadder than I’d ever seen.“You don’t understand, do you?” he whispered. “The future of the kingdom is inside you.”“What?” I blinked as if someone had poured ice water down my spine. My mouth opened but no words came.“I didn’t want to say it like that.” Rowan’s voice broke slightly. But… I can’t keep you to myself. We’re your mates, Raven. All three of

Raven POV Frustration curled in my chest. “But—”“There are things you mustn’t know yet.”The surrounding space shuddered.But before it could pull me away, before the vision could collapse, something snapped inside me.I took a step forward, anger curling around my words. “Then tell me this,” I demanded. “Why did you curse Rowan? Why did you punish all of them?”The goddess didn’t move. But the surrounding light flickered, dimming slightly.I pressed on, my voice shaking. “It wasn’t them who forsook their mates. It wasn’t Rowan who betrayed you. It was their ancestors. So why make them suffer for something they didn’t do? Why not just—” I swallowed hard. “Why not just forgive them?”The silence stretched between us, heavy and suffocating.For the first time since she appeared, something shifted in her expression. Something like… regret.Her voice was softer when she spoke again. “Do you think I do not wish that, child?”I froze.She exhaled a sound that echoed like wind through holl

Raven’s POVI felt the burn again. My skin is searing, the heat crawling through every inch of me like fire licking at my insides. I tried to move, but my body was trapped in the fire, locked in place. My vision swam—shadows and light blending together, dark edges forming in the corners of my mind.It was too much. Too much to bear.“Raven?” Rowan’s voice was distant, but I could hear the worry in it, pulling at me. His hand on my forehead felt cold against the heat radiating from me. “Hold on, Raven. Stay with me.”I wanted to speak, to tell him I was fine, but my mouth refused to form words. I barely had the strength to keep my eyes open.Liora’s voice joined the fray, sharp and strained. She’s burning up again. We can’t—”I couldn’t listen to her anymore. The heat was consuming me, swallowing me whole, and everything else faded away.The world around me seemed to collapse, and then there was nothing.I wasn’t sure when I fell asleep, or if I had ever truly been awake. All I knew w
