Chapter 61

Or as close to peace as this palace allows. I sank back against the pillows, still weak. The room seemed very large and empty. Caleb was back.Part of me wanted to go see him, to confirm he was all right and hear his voice. Maybe even watch him pretend he wasn't exhausted. A small smile touched my lips at the thought, then it bowed to my current reality. Princess Lena was already there, and the entire royal family was probably there too. He has enough people to welcome him.What would I even say? Hello, Your Highness. I was so worried about you that I might have collapsed, as I somehow felt a pain that wasn’t even mine.Since our night together, the current between us has grown stronger each day. Sometimes, just a flicker at the back of my mind, it had grown from knowing when he was near to sensing his emotions. Last night, it was overwhelming. Yes. Completely normal conversation.I pulled the blanket closer. Maybe rest was the smarter choice, an hour or two of rest, then I'd check on

Chapter 62

Lady Lydia hurried me toward the prince's quarters. I tried not to run so I wouldn’t draw attention, but I barely felt my feet touch the floor. Emergencies are almost normal here now, since trouble seems to show up every few days. Servants rushed through the halls, and guards stood at every corner. Security was tighter than ever.The prince royal wing smelled of medicinal herbs, and I could sense fear everywhere. It's as if the palace itself were holding its breath. We walked in silence, and the closer we got to Caleb's chambers, the heavier my chest became.Bey stirred uneasily. My wolf had remained unusually quiet ever since I collapsed. Now she paced restlessly inside me. Our bond is deeper than instinct: I can feel her moods and sometimes hear her voice in my mind, her emotions seeping into my own until it is hard to tell where I end and she begins. She influences my senses and my reactions these days; the new being in me is like a constant presence that shapes how I experience th

Chapter 63

I sat beside Caleb's bed for hours, staring at his motionless face, not knowing what to do next. Frustrated and exhausted, I stepped out of his quarters to my usual garden.Nothing had changed. His chest still rose and fell slowly. His skin remained pale, and his eyes remained closed. The passing hours had heightened my anxiety and twisted my thinking, causing a heartburn sensation inside my chest.Keith and Lady Lydia had not returned since I was brought to Caleb; the healers had left much earlier. The Queen had left, too; even Princess Lena had disappeared after speaking privately with Queen Celeste.Only the maids remained outside his quarters. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but when two maids stopped outside the chamber door and started whispering, their voices carried clearly."It was the Queen who instructed her personal attendant, Lady Lydia, to get Gina to stay with His Highness." The maid said in a whisper.I froze. I was not expecting even the second maid to sound surprised.

Chapter 64

POV: CalebI heard footsteps as I kissed Gina, but I wasn’t ready to stop. I wanted to be so close to her that we felt like one. So, I kept going, ignoring whoever was at the door. Suddenly, the chamber doors burst open without warning. Princess Lena stood there. She’s always been bold and reckless, so maybe it’s fitting she caught us like this.While Princess Lena stared, none of us spoke; the room was so silent that I could see Gina go tense and hear her heartbeat racing beside me, her hand gripping the blanket.Princess Lena stood frozen in the doorway. Her amber eyes slowly traveled from my face to Gina's flushed cheeks. Then, to the hand I hadn't fully removed from Gina's waist.A mistake. One I had no intention of apologizing for. The air grew heavy and dangerous. Gina's body stiffened, and she immediately moved farther back from me, her eyes darting nervously to Lena. Of course, she did; sadly, she still thought like prey whenever conflict appeared.I could feel her wolf’s irri

Chapter 65

Even from my bed chambers, the smell of blood filtered into the air to reach me. I could not join the fight as I would have hoped, but I am confident that the warriors are more prepared than any horde of the enemy. Especially after the last attack caught us off guard.Princess Lena had left to join in the chaos, and I had allowed Gina to go back to the nearby chamber to rest. I couldn’t allow her to go back to her quarters because I was certain the forgotten came back for her.I sat upright against the pillows on the bed, alert despite pain, as a knock sounded. Keith entered, not waiting for my permission.His armor was cracked and blood-covered, and half his body was covered in blood. Some of it belonged to him, but most did not. That is progress.The moment I saw his face, I knew the outcome. "We held them." He said.The attack ended just before dawn, not because the enemy lacked numbers, not because the palace defenses were stronger, but because Lycans fought hardest when defending

Chapter 66

The moment the doors closed behind Keith and General Varric, silence swallowed the room, the kind that came before a storm.My mother crossed the room and stood near the window, sunlight spilling across her dark gown. The royal crest embroidered into the fabric seemed almost alive beneath the morning light.Queen Isolde Lake. The most feared woman in the kingdom. Most people feared my father because he could order their execution, but more people feared my mother because she rarely needed to.She remained staring outside for several seconds before speaking."The healers told me you nearly died."I leaned against the headboard."I survived, mother."Her gaze shifted toward me. "That was not what I am saying, even the healers are not clear how you survived Caleb."I remained silent because I knew better than to challenge her when she used that voice."The poison was stronger than expected; it was designed to kill royal Lycans."That made my eyes narrow. "You know something."My mother's

Chapter 67

The door closed softly behind Keith. For several moments, silence settled across the chamber.Mother remained seated beside my bed. We had excused Keith after his reports, which still need to be discussed with the king and the council, so for now, no full decision can be made since I am still lying down here.I leaned back against the pillows, irritation simmering beneath my skin. My body still felt weak. The poison had damaged far more than the healers initially realized.Trey remained unusually quiet. Mother folded her hands elegantly across her lap."You are the future king." She said, her voice permeating the silence and reiterating all I have learned about duties and responsibilities, a burden I had carried since childhood."I know.""Do you?" She asked again, and I turned toward her.The queen's expression remained calm, but I could see the tension beneath it.She was worried, not merely as a queen, maybe as a mother, even though it can be quite hard to tell apart most times."T

Chapter 68

POV: Gina"The Queen wishes to see you." The attendant found me right away in the garden, my usual hiding spot. I should have known peace wouldn't last here. The summons came just after breakfast. I had hoped for a little time to myself now that things were calmer.My stomach immediately twisted, and even Bey stirred uneasily inside me. "This feels dangerous." She said in my head."I know."The attendant escorted me through the eastern wing of the palace. The corridors were quiet as security drones drifted through the sky like silver birds.Warriors patrolled every balcony now and ever since the attack, security is tighter, and everyone is more watchful.The attendant stopped outside a private sitting room. "The Queen is waiting."Then she left. I stood there for several seconds, trying not to panic or imagine all the terrible reasons Queen Isolde might want to speak with me.Eventually, I knocked."Enter."The calm voice floated from inside. I stepped into the room. The Queen sat bes

Chapter 69

Good.Neither woman spoke nor moved. I smiled at them slowly. The kind of smile that made wolves nervous."Please," I said softly, and both maids visibly flinched. "Don't stop on my account."The corridor suddenly became very quiet and for the first time since leaving the Queen's chambers...I felt something besides hurt; I felt angry, and judging from the expressions on their faces...The two maids exchanged nervous glances. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Then the taller one, Martha, recovered first. She lifted her chin. "What are you staring at?" she asked.I smiled as I felt an unusual calmness in me that even Bey stirred. "Interesting question," I replied softly. My voice sounded distant to my own ears as I said to her, “Because I was wondering the same thing too."The second maid snorted. That’s Fiona, she folded her arms as she replied, "Still pretending you're important?"My fingers curled. I could stil

Chapter 70

"What are you, Gina?"Mary's voice sounded distant to me, like it came from the other side of a storm.I stared at her, then at the two maids lying on the floor. It's blood, scratches, torn skin, and broken fingernails. One woman was sobbing uncontrollably.The other kept clawing at her own arms despite the blood dripping onto the marble floor."What happened?" I whispered.Neither maid answered, but they looked terrified. Terrified of me. I took a step backward.Mary grabbed my arm immediately."Gina. What happened to you?" Her face had gone pale. "I don't know," I replied.The corridor began to fill with people, who stared and whispered."No."One of the injured maids, Fiona, suddenly pointed at me."No..."Her voice shook violently. "Keep her away from me." The second maid began crying harder."The insects...""What insects?" a guard demanded."They were everywhere!" She grabbed her head. "Inside my skin!"My blood turned cold at her words ‘inside my skin.’A memory surfaced as I s
