FIFTY ONE

Nora's POV After telling Elena everything, I felt a little less burdened. That night, after we finished our duties and returned to the servants’ quarters, I sat on the edge of my bed for a long time without speaking. The small room felt colder than usual, or maybe it was just me noticing it properly for the first time. Elena didn’t rush me, didn’t fill the silence with unnecessary questions, she simply sat on the floor beside me and waited until I was ready to speak. “I can’t stay here,” I finally said, my voice barely above a whisper.Elena didn’t pretend not to understand. “You mean the palace,” she said quietly.I nodded once, slowly. “It’s not just the palace,” I added, my hands instinctively moving to my stomach without thinking. “It’s everything inside it. The nobles, the Alpha King, the servants who look at me like I don’t belong here, and…” my voice caught for a moment, “and Rafael.” Saying his name still hurt more than I wanted to admit.Elena stayed quiet for a while, as

Nora's POV The night of our escape was finally here and it was raining cats and dogs. I stood in the middle of my room, staring at the neatly folded servant's uniform lying across my bed, my hands trembling so badly that I had to curl them into fists just to stop them shaking. Beneath the loose brown dress I had deliberately chosen, my hand instinctively drifted toward my stomach, lingering there for several seconds as though I could somehow reassure the tiny life growing inside me.We're leaving.The thought should have brought relief. Instead, it hurt. Because leaving meant abandoning the only man I had ever loved. It meant walking away from my mate without a single goodbye. It meant accepting that Rafael would probably wake tomorrow believing I had betrayed him all over again.A soft knock interrupted my thoughts. I heard there quick taps which was our signal. I hurried to the door before anyone else could hear it and pulled it open just enough for Elena to slip inside. Rainwater

FIFTY THREE

Third person's POV Elena slowed first, scanning the area ahead with tired focus before finally stopping near a stretch of shallow forest where the trees opened slightly around a narrow riverbank, water moving quietly beneath the wind like it was the only thing in the world still continuing its routine without interruption.“This is as far as we go tonight,” Elena said softly, voice low but firm, as though speaking any louder might alert something hidden in the dark.Nora nodded without argument, because she didn’t have the strength left for disagreement, and even if she did, there was nothing else around them that offered better shelter. The forest wasn’t safe, but neither was staying exposed along the open path they had been following, and at least here the trees broke their silhouette from view.They worked without speaking much after that, Elena helping Nora lower their small bundle of supplies while Nora tried to steady herself against a nearby tree trunk, her breathing slightly

Third person's POV The next morning, news of Nora and Elena's disappearance has spread all through the palace.Rafael had been in the middle of a council meeting, unaware of the fact that his mate had escaped in the middle of the night. The report came during the second hour of the council briefing, delivered by a breathless guard who entered with just enough hesitation to immediately signal that whatever he was about to say had already been repeated too many times between too many people who didn’t want responsibility for it.“Your Highness,” the guard began, bowing quickly, voice tight, “there has been a breach along the lower western route, near the outer supply passage. Two servants are missing from the registered headcount. Their names are Nora and Elena. Patrol confirms they exited the territory overnight.” he reported.The room changed instantly. Rafael didn’t move at first, but something in his attention shifted so sharply it felt like the air itself had been pulled away fro

FIFTY FIVE

Third person's POV Karl arrived not long after the confirmation reports were finalized, as if he had been waiting just outside the threshold for the exact moment the situation became official enough to justify his involvement, and the energy he brought into the council chamber immediately shifted the atmosphere from controlled tension into something sharper, more volatile, more openly adversarial.He didn’t bother with formal greeting beyond a quick acknowledgment of the council, his eyes already scanning the map on the table and the scattered reports beside it, before settling on Rafael with a look that carried immediate judgment.He was furious that Nora had managed to escape. She was supposed to be the puppet he used in controlling and destroying Rafael. How could she have escaped and gone like that? He couldn't help but be highly suspicious of Rafael. Had he helped her to escape? Seeing how calm he was being only fueled his anger even more.“So it’s true,” Karl said, voice low bu

FIFTY SIX

Third person's POV By the second day, Nora had stopped thinking of their escape as something that ended at the border and started understanding it as something that simply continued without pause, like the world itself had decided there would be no true resting point until they either reached safety or completely collapsed trying to find it.Her body still hadn’t recovered from the feverish night in the rain, and every movement felt as if her strength was being rationed without her permission. Elena noticed it more than Nora admitted, but neither of them said it out loud, because saying it would make it real in a way that would force them to reconsider their pace, and reconsidering their pace was not something either of them could afford right now.They moved through forest cover most of the time, avoiding anything that resembled open paths or predictable terrain, choosing instead to stay where trees were thick enough to break sightlines and where sound was softened enough to hide mo

FIFTY SEVEN

Nora's POV By the time the third day dragged itself into existence, Nora could no longer tell whether her body was failing from exhaustion alone or from the constant strain of fear that never really let her rest even when her eyes were closed. Every time she tried to breathe deeply enough to steady herself, her lungs seemed to tighten as though even the air around them had become something dangerous, something that could betray their location if she inhaled too loudly or too long, and Elena’s hand on her arm had become the only thing that consistently reminded her she was still moving forward at all rather than collapsing somewhere in the undergrowth and simply not getting back up.They had barely spoken that morning, not because there was nothing to say, but because words felt like a waste of energy they could no longer afford. Nora mostly followed Elena’s movements by instinct now, trusting the way she adjusted their direction without explanation, trusting the way she would sudde
