-Willow-

The moment I came into the giant palace with the gigantic staircase leading to the next floor, I saw someone coming toward me. A huge smile spread on my lips, and I sprinted forward. Carter caught me as I leaped into his arms. He kissed me hard as I wrapped my legs around him and my arms around his neck.

My long blond hair covered us like a curtain, giving us the illusion of privacy, but then I heard someone clear their throat behind us, and I quickly pulled back to see Carter’s father, the king, looking at us with raised eyebrows. I pushed away from Carter, who allowed me to get back on my feet, and we chuckled nervously.

“Well, welcome, Willow,” the king teased me.

“Sorry, Your Majesty, I might have gotten a little excited,” I admitted.

“There is no need to apologize. At least I’m glad to know my son will always have love in his union as well,” the king told me, making me smile.

Carter wrapped an arm around my waist, bringing me to him, and he kissed my temple.

“Now, have you eaten yet? The dinner is just about to be served,” the king informed me.

“No, I haven’t.”

“Well, go get unpacked and come join us.”

I nodded, and Carter and I walked to what would now be my room. Once we were brought together in the Goddess’s light, then I would sleep in his room. He looked at the things I had brought and seemed surprised.

“Two bags? That’s it?” he asked.

“Well, I was told that I wouldn’t need much. My room had already been prepared,” I explained.

“Yes, but you might not like what has been prepared,” he chuckled.

“I’m sure I will like it.”

“Go check your closet then,” he teased me, and I walked to my closet.

I walked inside, checking the clothes that hung around, and seeing lots of them was truly not to my taste. I groaned, trying to put on a smile as I turned to Carter, who seemed on the verge of laughing, his blue eyes filled with joy.

“It’s… nice,” I forced out.

“My mom picked it all.”

I sighed, leaning my head back. Despite our families pushing for our union, Carter’s mother had always behaved rather oddly toward me.

“Do you think she likes me less and less?” I asked.

“She likes you,” he insisted, and I walked over to him, Carter wrapping his arms around my waist.

“I don’t think she does.”

“We will get you something else. Don’t worry,” he assured me.

I sighed and nodded, and he kissed my forehead before reaching up and stroking my cheek. “Hey, let’s go down and eat a little, and we can focus on something else.”

“Yeah, that might be good.”

Carter grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers as we walked downstairs to join his parents in the dining room. It was rather quiet, with only a little music playing in the background as we sat down. I had eaten dinner with them before, but there were usually other people, and it was often a planned party. This was just us four, and it was rather awkward.

Carter sat in front of me, smiling at me, my heart going crazy and my wolf howling in my head. He was truly made to perfection. That charming smirk, those dark blue eyes, the sharp features, and the short dark blond hair. Even as he ran his hand through it, making it stand a little up, it still looked as if it was meant to be that way—messy.

“So, Carter, are you going out tonight with your friends?” his mother asked, breaking the tension.

“Out?” I questioned, confused, and focused on Carter.

He shrugged. “Just friends asking me to go out and enjoy a night with them before the union.”

“One last night of freedom,” his mother remarked, making her mate nudge her with his elbow. “What? It’s tradition. You went out on your night before our ceremony.”

The king looked almost tired, clearly not wanting to be reminded, and I felt there might be some past tension between the two older wolves. But I focused on Carter, seeing him smile at me.

“It’s not important,” he assured me. “You just arrived. I think I should stay in tonight.”

I felt bad. While I didn’t have that many friends, considering how fake the upper-class world was, I knew Carter had a lot more sincere friendships.

“No, you should go,” I insisted.

“What?” he asked, sounding confused.

“I will be tired anyway. I will just call it a night early. It’s fine. Go out and have some fun.”

“Are you sure?” he asked. “I don’t mind staying home.”

“I’m sure. Go,” I told him, seeing the smile that spread on his lips. It was clear he wanted to.

“Okay, but call me if there is anything at all.”

“I will make sure to do that.”

    -Cain-With the bag swung over my shoulder, I walked over the gravel leading to the backdoor of the grand house. Lightning burst through the sky behind me, making me turn my head and see how fast the weather had changed. I was glad I managed to catch that last flight before I was sure that all the planes were grounded.I grabbed the handle, allowing myself into my old home. I walked through the little relaxation room with the glass roof and walls that gave a wonderful view of the garden and into the warm palace. It was strange being back, but when the king called, you listened. As I walked through the house, I came to the entrance, catching Carter coming down the stairs all dressed up and smelling far away from his usual powerful cologne. I was unsure how he wasn’t drowning in the scent.“Cain,” he whispered when he spotted me.“Been a while,” I remarked.He nodded before a smile broke out on his lips. He surprised me as he walked toward me and hugged me. Yet, while I wasn’t much of a

    -Willow-“Tea, my lady,” a servant said as she placed a tray filled with a teapot, cup, and all sorts of flavors on the coffee table further away. I had just come out of the bathroom, wrapped in a small, dark purple robe as she placed it down.“Thank you,” I said before she bowed and left the room, closing the door behind her. I walked over to the many assortments, studying them, wondering what I should choose. I eventually went with a strawberry-flavored tea before I poured the warm water onto it and let the flavors stream into the water. I waited a little, finding a book, before I went back and removed the teabag from the warm water.I began reading as I sipped my tea slowly. I wasn’t very tired, and my body felt strangely tense tonight, but I couldn’t figure out why. A moment ago, I felt fine. I sighed, drinking the last bit of tea before I decided to head to bed, but I kept tossing and turning, feeling strangely warm. I sat up, rubbing my eyes, before I noticed the world was turnin

    -Willow-I had the most heavenly dream. While I had experienced some dirty dreams before, this one was unlike anything I had ever known, and as I slowly woke, my body felt used and tender. I groaned, shifting slightly, only to feel a sharp pain between my legs.Opening my eyes, I propped myself up and surveyed my room—it looked familiar, as if nothing had changed. Then I noticed something on my stomach. I reached down and grabbed what appeared to be a feather. Why was there a feather on me?I turned my head to find feathers scattered across the bed, forming a trail that led to… I screamed, pushing away from the stranger beside me. He had my fiancé’s face, but everything else was wrong—Carter didn’t have a tattoo on his neck. I shoved myself back so hard that I slipped off the edge of the bed, landing on my backside. My entire body ached, and the fall only intensified the pain.“Willow?” a deep voice called, and the stranger appeared again.“What the fuck?” I whispered, shaking my head

    -Cain-“I’m not staying here,” I told my father.“You don’t have a choice,” he said.“Send me somewhere else. Send us somewhere else.”Willow turned to me, looking surprised. But I could tell my father contemplated my request, tapping a finger against the table.“Well, I had plans for you to lead a smaller part of the pack at one of the other estates. The pack has grown significantly, and I thought responsibility would help you change. This was before, of course,” he said. “But now that you’ve proven you’ve changed and likely want a quieter place to settle down with your mate until everything is resolved and an heir is chosen, you could go there. It’s just a short drive from here, and I’ll have everything set up—fighters and members to keep it running. But you do understand where you’ll need to be if you’re going to be king, right?”I nodded, though I had no intention of becoming king.“You can’t possibly think Cain and Willow are going to take over the ceremony tomorrow,” Carter inter

    -Willow-I sat in the window overseeing the garden, feeling like my heart might explode from the pain that was swirling inside it. I couldn’t believe what was happening, and I felt so humiliated that I didn’t even dare to call my best friend.What is happening? Suddenly, my wolf began stirring, sounding disoriented.“Finally!” I exclaimed. “You there?”Willow? What’s going on?“Where have you been?”Um…“Willow?” A dark voice called into my room, and I turned my head. The moment I put my eyes on Cain, my heart began hammering, and my wolf began growling in my head.“Cain…”That’s Cain? Oh Goddess, how delicious our mate is! my wolf purred in my head.So he is his mate? I asked.Yeah, I believe I claimed him for us last night, but you were a bit out of it to hear me, and then I began feeling out of it, my wolf explained.I’m so confused.I am too, she admitted, but there was no time for long chats because Cain came into the room, closing the door behind him.“W-Why did you close the doo

    -Cain-“Well, don’t you know how to stir up trouble?” I turned to see my old friend Reese standing in the doorway to the living room, where I was trying my best not to lean into the temptation of pouring myself a drink.However, the sight of him made me feel much better. He laughed when he saw the smile on my lips, and he came over. We slapped our hands together before he placed himself beside me. I stood by the window, gazing out at the light drizzle outside.“How did you know I was back?” I asked.“You really think you could come back without me hearing about it? I mean, you always made sure people knew what you were up to. Fucking your brother’s fiancée. Wow, I knew you loved chaos, I just didn’t know you loved it that much,” he teased before he went and grabbed something to drink for himself at a small bar further away.“Goddess… people already know?” I groaned, rubbing my eyes.“It’s everywhere. Did you really expect this to stay a secret?” he inquired.“It’s only noon.”“Wow, did

    -Willow-My mother walked around me, inspecting how I looked in my ceremonial dress. It was the one I had planned to wear for my ceremony with Carter, but now I was wearing it for someone else entirely. It made me feel dirty and wrong, as if I had actually cheated.I sensed my parents felt the same way. They had barely spoken to me since I arrived. As I got ready, having my hair and makeup done and slipping into the dress, my mother shot me a look I had never seen before. Disappointment.Suddenly, she reached out and tugged on the side of the dress, pulling a little too hard, as if trying to drag me down.“Ouch,” I whispered.“Did you gain weight?” she asked.“What? Of course not!” I exclaimed.“Hmm…”Why did that feel like an intentional jab, a way to criticize me?“You do understand the mess you’ve made, right?” she continued. “Do you have any idea what rumors are circulating?”I looked down and nodded.“We are mates,” I whispered.“But do you think that detail has been added to the

    -Cain-I changed quickly. My father came to see us off, while my mother had vanished somewhere, and my brother was nowhere to be found. I didn’t blame him. It made sense if he wanted to avoid us right now. So it was just my dad and me standing by the entrance, speaking in low tones, with a group of fighters behind us.“Remember, you have people around you that you can’t trust,” I reminded him.“Yes, but they may not be the masterminds behind it all. Servants can be bought,” he whispered.“Just be careful. Now we know something strange is going on. I still can’t figure out why. Even you agreed that Carter and Willow were perfect together, so who wouldn’t?” I asked. “She doesn’t come from a weak bloodline.”“No, but perhaps someone wanted to harm her family. It could easily be her own enemies coming for her.”“But who?” I pressed, but my father didn’t get to answer before Willow appeared at the top of the staircase, a servant following her with two suitcases. I had expected more, conside

    -Carter-My heart froze as we locked eyes. Hers were a deep green, and I loved them from the moment I saw them. She offered me a nervous smile, clearly trying to ignore the messages our wolves were sending us, before she hurried off with the glasses on her tray. An undeniable urge to follow her coursed through me.“Carter!” my brother called, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to him.“Huh?”“Come on, it’s our turn,” Cain told me.“Um, yeah, just say hello from me,” I replied, taking off in the opposite direction. I heard him call after me, but I couldn’t stop now.Every nerve in my body was vibrating, urging me to find my mate. I had seen the way she left the ballroom, and as I entered the hallway, it was much easier to follow her scent out here. I found her in the kitchen, gathering more glasses for the party amidst the sounds of the bustling staff. I made sure not to enter immediately, instead retreating a little to find a room where I could intercept her. I waited until she pass

    -Cain-I watched as Weston held one of my daughters overhead, pulling a funny face that made her giggle. The sight filled my heart with warmth, yet I couldn’t shake the worry that gnawed at me as I glanced over at my mother, who was holding my other daughter—something I had reluctantly allowed.My daughters were only a year old, but Carter had lived in this house for quite some time with his own mate, who had just given birth to a son, and it seemed to be going well. Surprisingly, everything was functioning smoothly, but I had made it clear to Willow that I would never allow my mother to be alone with my children. Still, it was hard to resist my mate’s pleas to give my mother a chance.I couldn’t forgive her, but I noticed the change in her demeanor when she was with my daughter. She seemed genuinely different—happier.“Hey,” Willow said, coming up behind me and wrapping her arms around me.I turned slightly so I could wrap my arm around her in return, resting my hand over her flat sto

    -Willow-It was surprising how quickly everything unfolded. Soon, the queen was confined to the palace, limited to her room and the lower floor of that section. She had her meals brought to her, but this arrangement allowed her to spend time with Weston, and I could see how grateful he was for that. He even hugged Carter tightly when he came to witness the transfer, but Cain didn’t even appear.I knew Weston and his mate understood, but I could sense their longing for Cain to be more accepting of the situation. For now, this was how things would be, and as Carter and I walked together through the palace, we both had homes to return to.“So, do I ever get to be properly introduced to your mate?” I teased.“I’ve actually convinced her to move here with me. She’s just nervous because we come from two different worlds,” he explained.“I can understand that. Maybe we should all have dinner together.”“I’m not sure we can lure Cain here. He’s… determined,” Carter groaned.I sighed. “You’re p

    -Willow-The news spread quickly, shocking me as much as everyone else. No one had expected the queen to go so far, yet as the days dragged on, the council remained divided on how to punish her. I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy. The queen deserved punishment, but I realized she wouldn’t have acted as she did if she hadn’t been forced to smile and nod through the pain inflicted on her by others. Weston had made a good point: I could have been the queen. I could have become just as desperate…“It’s really unbelievable she did it,” Eva said, breaking me free from my thoughts.She sat across from me in a small café we had agreed to meet at so I could escape the confines of home.“Yeah…”“Why do you sound that way?” she asked, her brow furrowing with concern.“I just… feel like this has become a bigger mess than it should be,” I admitted.“What do you mean? She killed the king and poisoned you! I thought you’d be the first one shouting for her head,” Eva joked.I managed a smal

    -Cain-I was utterly confused about why Weston had asked to be alone with us. He even requested that we stand up, and we formed a small circle beside the table. Carter and I exchanged puzzled glances, but I sensed something unsettling from Willow. Even our mother seemed unsure about what was happening. Only Weston appeared unfazed by the situation.“Why did you send them all out?” Carter inquired, voicing the question lingering on my tongue.“Because I wanted to do this in private before…” Weston glanced at Willow, and I followed his gaze. When she felt my eyes on her, she turned to give me an apologetic look.“Weston,” my mother called, her voice tinged with fear.“Okay, what is going on?” I pressed.“You have to admit it,” he insisted, focusing on my mother.“Admit what? What, Mom?” I urged, and both Carter and I focused on her, but she looked away, refusing to meet our eyes.“What the hell is going on?” Carter demanded, turning to Weston.“It was your mother who poisoned Willow,” We

    -Cain-“Goddess, look at your faces!” Willow exclaimed. “You’re starting to do some serious damage!”As Carter and I sat down to eat, Willow approached to inspect me, tilting my head to the side to examine the cuts and swelling. I grabbed her hands, kissed them, and pulled her down onto my lap.“We’re fine,” I assured her.“We will heal,” Carter added.“Why are you hitting each other so hard?”“It’s called practice. We’re keeping our skills sharp,” I explained.“But Carter can’t even open his right eye, and the cut on your lip is so swollen that I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat!” she scolded.“Eat the food or your—” I started, but she cut me off by placing a hand over my mouth.“Not funny.”I pulled her hand down. “I think it was rather funny.”“What will the council think when they see you like this?” she murmured.“What do you mean?”She glanced between Carter and me, both of us clearly feeling puzzled.“You didn’t notice the meeting the council has called?

    -Cain-“I don’t see the point in this,” my brother said as we stepped into the small gym in our house. I positioned myself on the blue mat, bouncing slightly to get ready, while Carter stood at a distance, wearing sunglasses indoors and a big hoodie over the training clothes I had insisted he change into. He didn’t just look hungover. He looked like a poster boy for the dangers of drinking. He was a complete mess.“You need it,” I told him.“Does it look like I want to work out right now?” he replied.“We’re fighting to keep our skills sharp,” I explained.“Why?”I hesitated, unsure of how to articulate the fear that had been gnawing at me. What Willow had confessed scared the living daylights out of me.“It helps,” I insisted.“It helps to fight with a pounding headache?” he shot back.“Well, that’s on you. You could quit drinking.”He groaned and pulled out a mini flask from his pocket. I sighed and walked over to him, snatching the vodka from his grasp.“Really?” I asked, holding it
