Luka POV

“Right now there is absolute chaos in the castle, Betty.”

I grip the edge of the plastic mattress. The scent of sterile disinfectant burns my throat.

“Adriel is gone. Completely missing.”

I lean closer to her pale, unmoving face. Her chest rises and falls only by the grace of the machines humming beside her.

“Mitchell released some rogue mage from the high tower. And then the entire bloody struc

    Nina POV“Drink it before it gets cold,” I say.I slam the heavy ceramic bowl onto the scarred timber table. The gray kitten under the stove doesn’t even flinch. It just keeps licking its paws, eyes locked on the puddle of spilled milk near my boots.Jethro doesn’t move. His hand stays wrapped around the handle of the pram. He stares out of the kitchen window, his jaw tight enough to crack a tooth.“He is sleeping,” Jethro says.His voice is too low. It has been like this for three days. Ever since Mitchell took the elite warriors into the northern ridge to hunt for Novalee, the castle has felt like an empty tomb. The silence is a physical weight. It sits on my chest every time I wake up in the dark.“He needs to eat,” I say, crossing my arms over my apron. “And you need to stop pacing the floorboards like a caged beast. You are going to wear a hole straight through to th

    Mitchell POV"Get your hands off me!" I bark, shoving the sobbing girl backward.She stumbles over the gravel, her eyes wide and wet. Luka steps between us immediately, his shoulder blocking her path. The local priestess, Nancy, narrows her eyes from the cabin porch. Her wrinkled face tightens into a mask of pure disapproval."I already have a mate," I say, my voice cutting through the thick mountain air. "Her name is Betty. My lycan does not recognize you. Clear out."The girl flinches as if slapped. She lets out a sharp, pathetic wail, turns on her heel, and sprints into the dark treeline."My apologies, Priestess Nancy," I say, though my tone carries zero regret."She will have to handle it," Nancy replies, her voice stiff as bone. "She is my granddaughter. But if your beast does not accept her, that is the end of the matter."She looks past me, her eyes tracking the movement of my warriors."Can we move ins

    Betty POVThe tarmac was a blurred streak of grey, and the vibrations from the floorboards were rattling straight up my spine. Every bump in the uneven road hit like a physical punch. My stomach rolled. A sudden, violent wave of nausea surged up my throat, thick and acidic."Stop the car," I choked out, slamming my hand against the front seat. "Stop it now."The tyres screeched against the loose gravel at the edge of the road. Before the vehicle even came to a complete halt, I threw the door open, stumbled onto the grass verge, and fell to my knees. I retched, my hands digging into the dirt as everything inside me burned.You are used to cars, Betty. What is happening?Adriel’s voice snapped inside my mind, sharp with instant panic.I do not know, I thought back, squeezing my eyes shut as another wave of sickness hit. It feels like someone just rammed a fist into my stomach. Like someo

    Mitchell POV“Move the warriors out now,” I bark, my boots slamming against the stone steps of the grand hall.Luka does not move. He stands by the heavy oak doors, his fingers white where they grip his leather pack. He stares at the floor.“She told you to find your mate, Luka,” I say, stopping two inches from his face. “Betty has Adriel. She has the guard. Move your feet.”Luka swallows hard, his throat clicking in the quiet corridor. “She is half a world away, Mitchell.”“And Novalee is bleeding out somewhere in the frost,” I snap, my voice dropping an octave. “Are we standing here sweating, or are we hunting?”He jerks his chin once, a grim acknowledgment. He hoists the pack over his shoulder.The heavy front doors groan open. Outside on the gravel driveway, the air is thick and damp. Kinslee stands waiting by the iron gates. Beside her, the two younger witche

    Betty POV"Get up off the floor before you freeze," Adriel says.He does not knock. He just rattles the handle and shoves the heavy oak panel open, his wide shoulders instantly blocking out the hallway light. His eyes drop straight to where I am sitting. My knees are tucked tight against my chest in the narrow gap right behind the door.I do not move. I keep my back pressed against the cold skirting board. My fingers grip my ankles until my knuckles go white. Yesterday, the golem shattered. Yesterday, the spell on Bexley broke. And last night, Luca crept into the dark corners of my mind to whisper that I belong to him and no one else. The weight of it is a physical pressure in my ribs."Betty?" Adriel steps into the room. The thick soles of his boots click against the floorboards. "What are you doing back there?""Thinking," I say. My voice is too dry. It rasps in the quiet room.He stops two paces away. His shadow falls directly over my lap

    Betty POV"Eat the toast, Betty."Nina pushes the ceramic plate across the oak table. The heavy wood scrapes against the stone floor. Five people at the table freeze. Nobody breathes. They look at me like I am a bomb about to detonate.I lift the metal fork. My fingers wrap tight around the handle. They think my mind is still cracked from the coma. They think I am a fragile little girl with a blank slate for a brain.They are wrong. Every memory is back. The fire, the blood, the exact weight of the crown I am supposed to wear. It sits in my skull like a hot coal."I am not hungry," I say.Adriel shifts in his chair to my right. His shoulder brushes mine. The heat radiating off his skin is suffocating. To my left, Mitchell lets out a low, rough breath through his nose. His knuckles are white against the edge of the table.For twenty-four hours, neither mate has left my side. It is a golden cage. I am the twice-dead queen, locked in a room full of guards who look at me with pity.I look

    Kori POV"Move your feet, you useless piece of rubbish," the guard snarled, shoving his palm directly into my shoulder blade.I stumbled forward. My knees hit the stone floor of the cell. The impact rattled my teeth, but I did not make a sound. I kept my mouth shut.
