I watched Daniel stutter, probably at loss at what to say, but I could also see the relief on his face. He had gotten the best deal out of the three of us.

I looked at Noah. He wasn’t happy, but I knew it was because Dora had been chosen for Daniel.

I couldn’t stomach the sight, so ignoring the consequences of walking out on my father, I stood up and walked out of the room, fuming silently, not believing that this was happening, not understanding either why I was acting this way.

I banged the door on its hinges when I stepped into my room, anger riding over me in waves; however, dissipating a bit when I saw my stepmother folding my clothes. She shouldn’t be doing that. There were servants for that. Where was the butler?

“What is the matter, Adam?” I saw the question first on her face, before it translated to her lips.

I shook my head, walking to the beanbag close to my little library and settling in. I was not sure how to tell her how I felt.

    SAGEI didn’t think I would ever get used to it.I stood before the mirror, unmoving, my reflection staring back at me with a calm confidence I possessed. The room was quiet, dawn creeping in slowly from the edges of the world, and still I couldn’t look away.The wardrobe had offered me only dresses—flowing and elegant, meant for bodies like this one. I wore one now, pale and soft, the fabric clinging in places it never used to, skimming curves I hadn’t fully accepted as mine. My wig rested in my hands, familiar, grounding.My real hair fell down my back in a long, silken cascade—white as snow, but no longer purely so. Gold threaded through it now, fine streaks catching the light whenever I moved, as though sunlight itself had decided to live there. The same gold ringed my eyes, encircling the irises in a thin, unmistakable halo that marked me for what I was.Ancient. Half Ancient, or thereabout.The mark on my forehead had deepened too. It was no longer something faint, no longer ea

    So they knew.The thought followed me like a shadow as I walked out of the cave beside the priestess, her voice flowing steadily as she spoke about training, discipline, control—about how I would learn to harness the power now coiled inside my blood.I barely heard her.The Abstenum is in the pack… how do we approach?The words replayed in my mind over and over, growing heavier each time. If the ancients knew of the Abstenum, then it meant one thing—they were coming for it. Not just as observers. Not just as allies.They would fight for it. Against the werewolves. Against the vampires. Or worse… they might negotiate with the werewolves…My fingers curled slowly at my sides. I didn’t care which path they chose, not really. All I cared about was time. I needed my revenge before they arrived in force, before politics and treaties and ancient laws swallowed everything whole.Which meant I couldn’t stay here. I have to leave tonight. The realization settled coldly in my chest. Whatever p

    SAGE Prince Valenf was the one who spoke first.“How are you feeling now, Sage?”His voice was calm, measured, carrying the quiet authority of someone who did not need to raise it to be obeyed. I bowed low before him, instinctively, deeply—lower than I had bowed to anyone in years. Power wrapped around him like a second skin, dense and ancient and unmistakable. It pressed against my senses, not aggressively, but with a presence that dared anything around it to forget who he was.Prince of his people.I found myself wondering how old he truly was. He looked no older than Darius—no older than a virile male in his late twenties, broad-shouldered, sharp-eyed, his hair dark and neatly bound at the nape of his neck. But the weight in his gaze told another story. Time clung to him differently. Like stone shaped by centuries of water.“I’m better,” I said, lifting my head. My voice did not shake. I was proud of that.He studied me for a moment longer, then inclined his head slightly. “Sit

    “I hope this won’t make us lifemates,” I said lightly, the words forced into something that sounded like a joke. “Because if so, I might be the first female to kill off her lifemate…”I leaned closer to Darius’s wrist and licked the pinprick where my fangs had pierced him. The taste of his blood still lingered on my tongue—rich, utterly enticing and delicious, addicting, humming faintly with ancient power. Under my gaze, the tiny wounds sealed themselves, skin knitting together seamlessly.I watched it happen with quiet fascination. So, this is what I had become? My spittle now had healing properties. A wonderful phenomenon only seen in these gods-blessed supernaturals , according to the half-forgotten texts I’d once skimmed through in the forbidden royal library, and dismissed as myth. Seeing it happen—feeling it—was something else entirely. Another enigma stacked neatly atop the mountain of things I didn’t yet understand about myself. Powers I was yet to understand, to tap into…

    ADAMI paced the common room until the floor beneath my boots felt worn thin by my steps. Back and forth. Back and forth.The space was large, meant for councils and celebrations, for laughter and raised cups and the easy noise of a pack at rest. Now it felt too open, too empty, every sound echoing back at me like an accusation.Three days. Three days since Sage had vanished into thin air.I dragged a hand through my hair, breath coming harder than it should have. Confusion sat heavy in my chest, tangled tightly with anger, worry, and a fear I refused to name aloud. I had sent warriors across the land—scouts, trackers. I had called in favors, debts owed from years past. I had ordered searches in places I had sworn never to involve my pack.Nothing.No scent. No magic residue. No whisper of her trail. It was as though she had never existed.The thought made something inside me splinter.I had seen this before. Felt it. Lived it.Maya. Dora.Women who had existed once, vividly, brightl
