Zephyrine

I woke up weak today, a heaviness sitting in my chest, loneliness and anxiety threading through every breath.

The report that came last night only made me admire her all the more. Luna Tahlia, her courage, her resolve to take a stand. Unlike me, still lost between doubt and confusion.

Sitting alone in my bath chamber, I stared at the still water. Memories came in waves.

Luna Tahlia had made her choice and sided with the Lycans. Jurrek told me plainly that he didn’t support my brother’s decision and still, here I am. I had chosen no one.

My gaze dropped to the water that reminded me too much of Lycannar, how he had made love to me there, how his touch lingered like a scar.

I lowered my eyes further and saw the ring around my finger just as Luna Tahlia’s words echoed in my head.

Demons.

We’d heard about them from the Council. They called them monsters, conquerors waiting to devour our world. But… perhaps they were not the true villains. Were they?

I swallowed hard, a dizzy spell overtaking me. My palms pressed against the basin as I leaned forward to wash my face, desperate for clarity. That was when the shouting came, muffled at first, then sharper.

“You can’t go in!”

“I won’t stay long. Zephyr is my senior, don’t you know me?”

“Lord Varyn gave strict orders. No one enters without his permission. You can’t just…”

Frowning, I turned toward my chamber door and crossed the room quietly. When I opened it, the air shifted, and there he was.

Moon.

“Let him through,” I said calmly. My voice startled Isolde, who looked at me in confusion but obeyed. I stepped back into my room, and Moon followed.

Facing him again after so many days made my throat tighten. Moon, one of the Dusk family, Dessyn’s own younger brother. The man who had always loved me in silence.

My eyes drifted over him, how much he had changed, hardened by his days of training in Moonveil Fortress.

When our gazes met, the air between us cracked. I should have run to him, but instead, I looked away. The nearing war had left me wary. If Dessyn could betray me, then who was Moon to be trusted?

“Why have you come?” I asked, turning toward the window.

“They’re wiping the Lycans out, Zephyr.” His words made me turn sharply. My pulse stumbled.

“Not only Apex,” he continued, “but all of them.”

“What you’ve all forgotten,” I said quietly, “is that Lycans aren’t divided like us wolves. They stand as one kingdom. They can’t be destroyed by half a thousand warriors.”

“The Ashmere armies marching toward the Lycan Kingdom tomorrow night are not half a thousand, Zephyr,” he said grimly. “They are thousands. It will be a massacre. The plan is set. Every soldier in Moonveil who regrets not following you to Blackwater has rallied behind your brother. They think they’re avenging your father’s death.”

I went still, staring past him, my vision unfocused. My heart thudded painfully.

“Why are you telling me this?” I whispered. “If Varyn sent you to lure me out, he’s wasting his time.”

Silence fell, heavy, unyielding, until he crossed the space between us. His hand reached for mine, his voice low.

“I fled Moonveil Fortress to warn you,” he said, his eyes searching mine. “Because I know how much you love Apex.”

My breath caught. I gently pulled my hand away, trying to silence the warmth rising in my chest.

“I can’t fight the Ashmeres for a man who keeps secrets from me, Moon. You must have heard his bodyguard is a demon. Maybe he is too.”

He said nothing, only watched me. My heart pounded.

“Have you ever wondered why the Council suddenly sides with your brother?” he asked at last.
