Zephyrine
“She will be fine.”
“Are you sure? She hasn’t woken up since yesterday.”
“Will you calm down?”

“Oh, please. If baby brother returns from the steel room and finds his woman in bed, even we both will pay for it.” Princess Serena’s voice came, and I stirred gently.
Fluttering my eyelids open, I found myself staring at the candle chandeliers above, warmth from the bed chamber enveloping me pleasantly.
The scent here was different, more comforting than anything I could have imagined. It almost felt like the afterlife. Wait…
“Is she…” I heard footsteps approaching. My goodness, she’s awake!”
I blinked and looked up
“My gods. Zephyrinthe beautiful face of Princess Mearez.
can
Ou hear me?”
Of course I could hear her loud and clear. The only thing that felt strange was my wolf. Having been stripped of her mate, I felt… empty. I gently opened my eyes again and tried to sit up, but Princess Mearez came to help me.
“I think you shouldn’t try to stand just yet, Zephyrine. You’re still healing,” she said. I shook my head.
“I’m fine.” I refused to allow the useless bond I had with Nyroth to weigh me down.
I sat up, resting my back against the headboard, and looked around. I realized I was in Princess Mearez’s bedchamber. The door was locked, and Princess Serena sat at the bed’s edge, concern written across her face.
“You should drink,” Princess Mearez said, holding out a wooden cup filled with potion. “It will help you regain your strength. Gulp it all down at once.”
I nodded and obeyed, swallowing the bitter herbal potion before passing the cup back to her. She returned it to its place, then placed a soft palm over mine,
“Are you okay? Zephyrine, how do you feel?”
I nodded, sighing.
“I’m fine. How did I get here? How long have I been out?”
The two Lycan Princesses exchanged a look, and Princess Serena replied,
“Your Beta helped bring you here. He’s at the guest hall now. You’ve been out since last night.”

“Oh.” I sighed again, bowing my head. Last night… I had rejected Nyroth Hue. I was supposed to feel relief, but… why was the tension so thick?
“I’ve always known there was something more about you, but I never knew it was something like this,” Princess Serena said. I looked up gently at her. That gaze, the charged atmosphere… it told me something
was wrong.
I shifted my gaze to Princess Mearez and noticed her eyes lowered. I swallowed, feeling uneasy.
“I… I apologize. I know… I shouldn’t have kept my identity a secret. Trust me, I have my reasons.”
No words came in response, making me feel even more uncomfortable.

It was my identity as an Ashmere that unsettled them.

I rose from the bed, noticing I was wearing a new gown. I moved toward the door, but Princess Mearez stepped in front of me. For a brief moment, I saw fear and warning flash in her eyes.
“Zephyrine… apart from being my brother’s woman, I’ve loved you from the first moment as a sister. I beg you… take my advice. You have to leave this Kingdom.”
That shattered everything. Wait… what?
“Why?” I asked, cautious, but she couldn’t answer Princess Serena rose from the bed.
“Let her go. We both know whatever path she takes… she will never be free from the Lycan King,” she said and My heart sank further.
What did she mean by that? What in this Shifter Empire did she mean?
What did me being an Ashmere have to do with the Lycan Kingdom? What did it have to do with Lycannar Blood?
That question burned in my mind as I made my way toward the black tower.
