Nina narrowed her eyes as she watched Corey walk away. “Why are you even here?” she called after him.

Corey didn’t stop, but he did glance over his shoulder. “Business with Ronin.”

Nina scoffed. “Shouldn’t Jamie be handling that?”

Corey rolled his eyes and kept walking. “Read the room, Nina.”

With that, he disappeared down the hall, leaving us standing there in silence.

I turned to Nina, frowning. “Maybe he and Jamie had a fight?”

Nina, still watching Corey’s retreating figure, shook her head. “Even if they did, the elders and council members decide who represents them in important matters. And let’s be real—between Corey and Jamie, they’d pick Jamie. He’s the more rational one.”

She had a point. Jamie had always been the level-headed one, while Corey was more… unpredictable. If Corey was here instead of Jamie, it meant something was going on.

But whatever it was, it wasn’t my problem.

As the day dragged on, I tried to shake off my lingering thoughts about Asher’s note, Ronin, a

    MaliaAmara stood frozen for a moment, disbelief clear on her face. Then, she let out a dry, humorless laugh. “You can’t be serious.”Jamie rubbed his face, exhaling sharply. “I wish I weren’t.”Amara narrowed her eyes at him. “So… what? You went through with it? You’re engaged?”Jamie’s shoulders tensed. “No. I haven’t decided yet.”“Oh, you haven’t decided?” Amara scoffed, shaking her head in disgust. “So it’s still on the table?”Jamie’s jaw clenched. “It’s complicated, Amara. You don’t understand—”“Then explain it to me.”He took a slow breath, trying to gather his words. “This isn’t about me. It’s about the pack. This—” He gestured vaguely toward the woman beside him. “This arrangement is what will keep our people safe from what’s coming.”Amara’s expression hardened. “What’s coming?”Jamie hesitated. “A war.”A chill ran down my spine. War.I could see the gears turning in Amara’s head, but she wasn’t buying it. “So you’re going to marry someone for the sake of a political alli

    MaliaI stayed hidden, my back pressed tightly against the side of Amara’s house as I listened. My heart pounded so violently I could hear the rush of blood in my ears.Jamie was still talking, his voice firm and serious.“You don’t understand the full extent of what happened in Storm Pack,” he told Amara. “There’s a lot you don’t know.”Amara scoffed, her voice laced with frustration. “Then explain it to me, Jamie! Because so far, all I’m getting is that Jude is hunting me down, and you expect me to trust a bodyguard I’ve never met! None of this makes sense!”Jamie exhaled sharply, as if trying to gather his thoughts. “It will make sense,” he muttered. “Just listen.”There was a brief pause before he continued, his voice dropping lower, darker.“After we captured Malia, I was going to kill her,” he admitted bluntly. “I was ready to burn her when Corey stopped me.”Amara scoffed. “I know Jamie, I was there.”Jamie let out a dry, humorless chuckle. “Yeah, you're right.

    Malia “I need you to start researching. I don’t know much about witches, but maybe there’s a way to find out what’s really happening. And if it's possible that she's not using Malia's body so we can kill her.” Amara let out a sharp, humorless laugh. “You want me to figure that out?” “Yes,” Jamie said firmly. “I have to head back to Storm Pack. I have to keep an eye on that thing pretending to be Malia. But you… you need to stay here and stay alive.” Amara exhaled sharply. “I can do that. She doesn't have to stay here, Jamie. I can take care of myself.” There was a beat of silence before Amara spoke again, her voice sharper this time. “Also, before you go, what about Corey? What’s he doing here? Why is he in Lycone instead of you?” Jamie was quiet for a moment before answering. “It's because that witch has another task—to tear me and Corey apart.” “So I’ve been acting recklessly,” Jamie continued. “Pushing Corey away. Defying orders. Giving the council no choice but to send Co

    MaliaI had to do something.My mind raced as I crouched in the shadows outside Amara’s house, heart pounding. I couldn’t just walk away—not when I had the perfect opportunity to warn Jamie before it was too late.But how?I couldn’t just march in there and expose myself. I’d worked too hard to stay hidden, and if I revealed anything too directly, Rayna might realize I was the one who sent the tip.No. I had to be smart about this.I needed to be anonymous.I pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling slightly as I typed out a message:"Do not trust the bodyguard."For a second, I hesitated. Would Jamie even take this seriously? He was stubborn—he wouldn’t believe something without proof.I added another line."The bodyguard is actually Rayna, impersonating her."I sent the message before I could overthink it.Inside, Amara and Jamie were still talking, but I could see Jamie go silent. His brows furrowed, and he reached into his pocket, checking his phone.I held my breath.Even from a

    MaliaPain.That was the first thing I felt. A deep, pulsing ache behind my eyes, spreading through my skull like fire. My body felt heavy, like I had been hit by a truck, and every movement sent sharp stabs of pain through me.I let out a weak breath, forcing my eyes open.Everything around me was blurry, swimming in hazy colors and dim lighting. When I first opened my eyes, the world was a blur of dim lighting and sterile whiteness. Everything around me felt hazy, my vision swimming as I struggled to focus.I blinked several times, trying to focus. But I could almost tell that the ceiling above me was a dull off-white, lined with fluorescent panels that flickered faintly, casting a cold, clinical glow over the room. The walls seemed like they were painted in a washed-out gray, the kind that felt lifeless and impersonal, like this place wasn’t meant for comfort—only for function.Then, the scent hit me.That unmistakable, sterile hospital smell.A mixture of antiseptic, bleach, and

    MaliaThe moment I stepped out of the hospital and into the cool evening air, I felt like I could breathe again. Not fully—Jude was still right beside me, his hand pressed against the small of my back as if he was escorting me rather than making sure I didn’t run—but at least I wasn’t confined to that sterile, suffocating room anymore.The ride home was silent. Jude drove with one hand on the wheel, his other drumming against his thigh. I kept my gaze out the window, watching the trees blur past in streaks of green and gray, mentally preparing myself for what was to come.I needed to act normal.That was the key. If I gave even the slightest indication that something was wrong, Jude would be on me in an instant. He wasn’t stupid. He knew me too well, knew when I was scheming. But this time, I wouldn’t let him catch on.When we got home, I moved through the house like nothing had changed.

    MaliaAmara’s sudden visit caught me off guard, but I kept my expression neutral. If I seemed too eager to see her, it might raise suspicion. If I acted too cold, it might push her away. I had to strike a balance.She was crouched outside on the ledge, arms crossed, expression unreadable.I quickly unlatched the window, pushing it open just enough for her to slide in. She moved fast and silent, landing on the floor without a sound.I gaped at her. “What are you doing here?”She straightened, brushing off her jacket. “I could ask you the same thing. You didn't tell me that you're literally living in Ronin's residence.”My brows furrowed. “Well is that why you broke into my house — to ask me why I’m here?”Amara smirked. “Whoa, I didn't break into anything. Besides, you weren’t answering your phone.”I frowned, glancing toward my nightstand. Sure enough, my phone sat there, dark and silent.

    Malia“Now tell me Rayna. Why is it that despite my clear instructions given to you, Amara is still alive. I thought you impersonated the bodyguard Jamie brought?” Jude said breaking the silence. Rayna’s expression shifted immediately, her confidence flickering just slightly as she processed Jude’s words.“She’s still alive?” she repeated, her voice sharp with disbelief.Jude’s eyes darkened. “I don’t like repeating myself, Rayna. Amara was just here. She spoke to Malia—no signs of sickness, no signs of dying. Nothing.”Rayna’s projection flickered for a second before stabilizing. “That’s… impossible,” she murmured, almost to herself. Then, more firmly, she met Jude’s gaze. “I poisoned her food. It was a magical poison—undetectable, untraceable. There’s no way she could have survived.”Jude’s jaw tightened. “And yet, she has.”Rayna’s fingers twitched at her sides. “That’s not possible,” she insisted. “The poison was supposed to take effect in ten hours.

    MaliaAs soon as I was back in my room, I locked the door behind me, my fingers trembling as I reached for my phone. My heart was still pounding from what I had just learned about the gem.I wasted no time. I pulled up the anonymous number I had used before and quickly typed out the message:"Jude wants to use the image of you and Corey’s intended bride to kill Amara. He wants it to be impossible for you two to forgive her so that you will refuse to marry her. If that happens, Jude's plan to take over all wolves and Lycans will succeed."I hit send and stared at the screen, waiting for the little dots to appear, signaling that Jamie was typing back.Nothing.A sick feeling twisted in my stomach. Jamie wasn’t responding.I checked the message again, making sure it had been delivered. It had. But there was no reply.What if his phone had fallen into the wrong hands?Panic flared in my chest. If Jude or Rayna had somehow intercepted my message, then they’d know someone was feeding Jamie
