Peter and Laura had said nothing when I came into the house, choosing only to stare at me or rather to peruse my entire self as if looking for hurt on my body.

Their eyes had been like lasers, scrutinizing every inch of me as if they could see through my skin to the very core of my being.

I had offered them a tentative greeting and shifted uneasily on my feet, feeling like a child caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Finally, Laura had broken the silence.

“Go and freshen up, and take dinner. We can talk later.”

Relief had flooded through me, though I knew it was only temporary.

I had taken my time in the bath, letting the hot water soothe my nerves and wash away the grime and stress of the day. Each minute spent under the warm spray was another minute delaying the inevitable scolding.

I had lingered even longer at dinner, chewing each bite slowly and deliberately, trying to stretch the meal as far as I could. But eventually, the plate was empty, and I could no longer delay.

    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

    “What did you say happened,” I demanded, my voice rising despite myself. “Start again.”Isla flinched like I’d struck her.She stood in the middle of the room with her hands clenched tight against her skirts, knuckles pale, eyes too bright. She still looked shaken, like she hadn’t fully returned to herself after whatever horror had unfolded hours ago. That alone should have warned me—Isla didn’t rattle easily.Something had happened to Sage.The thought had been coiling tighter in my chest since the first wave of pain had hit me in my study.I’d been reviewing reports, half-listening to the rain against the windows, when it struck without warning. A sudden, scorching agony ripped through my insides, so sharp it stole my breath. It felt as though something deep within me had torn in two.I’d lurched to my feet, chair skidding back, one hand braced on the desk as I sucked in air through clenched teeth. I’d checked myself instinctively—no wound, no blood, no visible cause. Confusion had

    Where were we?The words scraped out of my throat weakly as my eyes fluttered open. The world swam, darkness bleeding into shape slowly, reluctantly, like it resented being forced into clarity. Stone loomed overhead—jagged, ancient, slick with moisture that caught faint, wavering light. A cave.Not a small one.This place was vast, cathedral-wide, its ceiling stretching so high it disappeared into shadow. The mountain itself felt like it had swallowed us whole. Cold air pressed against my skin, heavy with the scent of earth and minerals, threaded with something sharper beneath it. Old smoke. Older magic.My body felt wrong. Heavy. Empty. As if something vital had been torn out of me and replaced with fire and ash.I tried to move, tried to push myself upright, but my arms trembled uselessly, barely responding. I was still in Darius’ arms.“Why…” My voice barely carried. “Why do I feel like this?”The question never finished settling before pain slammed into me.It ripped through my
