“Declaration for Luna Tahlia per the deal of the duel. She has been framed for the death of her husband and her son, Young Black, belongs to the Alpha. Therefore, she is reinstated as Luna, as her son will be the next Alpha of Blackbridge Pack.”

The verdict was read aloud before Olga slumped forward. It was as though she had been holding on just to hear those words.

We quickly rushed her into the carriage and headed home. Now, as I stood in the living room, waiting for Mearez’s words, I couldn’t help but pace.

Is Olga going to die? Is she…?

I suddenly paused and turned slowly toward Lycannar. He had followed us quietly, silently, with Hades at his side, standing at the window without moving. If he had looked into Olga’s eyes, he must have seen her death.

I walked toward him to question him, but Mearez entered the living room and sighed shakily.

I searched her face for answers, but then the piercing cry of Luna Tahlia rang out from the bedchamber, and my heart sank. Is she… dead?

My gaze fell slowly to the blood on my hands. When I looked up again, Mearez’s eyes were wet.

“Come here,” Lycannar said gently, and Mearez rushed into his arms. He rubbed her back slowly.

“She died a natural death,” he said quietly. “It was her time. She’s gone to rest.”

I exhaled a shaky breath. He had known, seen it, and kept it to himself.

Walking to Young Black, who was already asleep in Blue’s arms, I glanced at Dessyn and Moon sitting silently in the corner, their heads bowed in grief. I had no words until the sound of approaching footsteps filled the room.

Luna Tahlia appeared, and I rushed to her.

“She died,” she murmured helplessly, and I held her. “She died.”

Her voice broke with grief, but as I held her, an idea began to rise in my chest.

I stepped toward Lycannar. Mearez moved aside, sensing my intent.

“Lycannar,” I said quietly. “I want you to look into Luna Tahlia’s eyes and tell me when she will die.”

At my request, Serena, who had been standing in the corner, rushed forward but Lycannar lifted a hand to silence her.

“Zephyrine, he…” Mearez began, but Lycannar cut her off with one look.

He met my gaze, then spoke with a calm finality.

“Before sunrise, she will be burned alive.”

A cold shiver ran down my spine, and my knees almost gave way.

“By who?”

“By those who want to take the position from her son.”

I clenched my jaw.

“Lycannar, what if…”

“That’s enough,” Serena snapped, stepping between us. “He can’t use his curse like this.”

I turned to Blue, meeting her eyes in silent warning. If she wanted my trust, she would keep what I was about to reveal a secret.

Standing before Luna Tahlia, I said calmly,

“I am Zephyrine Ashmere. The last true–blooded female Ashmere alive.”

The color drained from her face. She fell to her knees, but I caught her before she could bow fully.

“We have no time. You must hurry.”

“You… you are a female Alpha?” she whispered.

“Not yet. My brother holds the title. But right now, that doesn’t matter. Listen to me. If you want to live, and if you want your son to live long enough to claim what is his, you must flee immediately. Not to another pack, but to Ash Pack. There, no harm will touch you.

–“And while you hide, your death will be staged. This house will burn tonight, with you, your son, and your

mother inside. They will believe they’ve won, but they’ll be wrong. One day, you will return and Young Black will reclaim what is his.”
