The sunlight bathed my bedchamber, but instead of warmth, it brought only more agony and a strange awe that still lingered.

Three days had passed since that night. The night etched forever in my mind. The night Lycannar was cornered, I was cornered, and he had come. The night Dessyn never delivered my letter. The night my wolf cried, Mate.

I still couldn’t wrap my mind around it. Couldn’t fathom the possibility. The thought was too frightening, too tender to trust. It felt too comforting, too heartbreaking all at once, to possibly be true.

Varyn had shattered the Black tower from outside Lycannar’s kingdom, and the collapse had caused screams of agony to ring across the land.

Ever since that night, the gates of his kingdom had never reopened. They were sealed shut, just like in the time of the former King.

Those were the reports I received. Words that even now I couldn’t fathom. Words that felt like a dream spoken to me while I was awake.

I lay in bed, weak. I hadn’t eaten in days. Not because of hunger, but because I was already deciding. Already making a choice… To go there. With or without Varyn’s permission.

Still, I dreaded being on his bad side. He was my brother. And yet I still clung to the hope that somehow, somehow, we could make peace.

I was caught in that thought when the sound of footsteps came through. I turned my back to the door, pretending to be asleep, thinking it was Isolde. But then the scent hit me. Not Ashmere. White Pack member.

Slowly, I turned. There she stood in the doorway. Dessyn.

My heart clenched. I sat up quickly as she walked slowly toward me, her face softened in plea, in apology.

“If only… if only I had delivered the letter. Maybe Apex would have been fine. Right?” she whispered regretfully.

I searched her eyes, my chest tightening. She looked so sorry. But her failure to deliver that letter had already cost too much. Did she know what she had done?

“They forced him to look at his reflection in the mirror, Dessyn. He wouldn’t have come if he had read that letter, and…” I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breath. “I don’t know what that glimpse will do to him now. He caught sight of his own reflection. I fear what that will

mean.”

Silence fell between us. Tenderly, Dessyn sat down on the bed beside me with a sigh full of

sorrow.

“Zephyr… I think I’m going to break up with your brother.”

I froze. The words stunned me. I turned toward her in disbelief.

“What?”

“He’s… changed,” she murmured, voice tired, almost hollow.

“Dessyn…” I whispered, but before I could say more, she turned to me. I saw the tears brimming in her eyes, tears that tore something open inside me.

“He brought down the Black tower, Zeph. He hurt the Lycans. In a few days, he’ll be named Warlord of all werewolves. Do you realize what he’ll do then?”

The words made me go cold. Dessyn had always loved Varyn, yet hearing her speak like this, ready to leave him, made the truth begin to dawn.

“You love him. You can’t leave him,” I said softly, searching her.

She swallowed and asked instead,

“How do you think Apex is feeling? Don’t you

think you

you should go to him?”

I bit my lip, sighing shakily. Then she leaned closer, her voice lowering, meant for my ears alone.

“Varyn is leaving the pack tonight. If you want to leave, go then. I overheard him. He won’t return until tomorrow morning. You could go and come back before he even knows.”

I looked at her, my chest aching. Then I smiled faintly. My best friend. Of course she would take my

side. I reached for her hand, giving it a soft squeeze of gratitude, and nodded.

“I’ll go tonight, then. I’ll be back before dawn tomorrow. You’ll keep my secret, won’t you?”

She arched a brow with a gentle smile.

“Do you even need to ask? Your secret is safe with me, Zephyr.”
