We won’t stand. We might, if I unleash my beasts, but fear of blindly wiping out enemies and allies alike won’t let me.

Instead, I’ve chosen to embrace this weakness that’s kept me bedridden for days.

My people have received their share of supplies, but I know it won’t sustain them until the next full moon, which is still weeks away.

Still, it will do a little. The nobles remain displeased with my way of ruling. My father favored them over the commoners, but my reign is different.

What they fail to understand is simple. Without the poor, there can be no rich.

Staring into the blank space of my chamber, I can’t fathom the loneliness since she left. It feels like she discovered my secret, my true identity, and grew angry.

I don’t know whether it’s because I hid it or because I’m not what she expected. Either way, I

If she chose me, it would lead to her death, and I. Lycannar Apex Blood could never live with that.

Sighing, I tried to turn, but even lifting a limb proved too heavy. I fell back onto the bed, resigned to my weakness, when the sound of approaching footsteps reached my ears.

Moments later, the door opened, and my sister Mearez stepped in. She paused in the doorway before walking to the window and throwing it open.

“I think you should start letting Blue take care of you, Lycannar. Why do you hate accepting her help?”

“Because I killed her mother,” I muttered.

Mearez turned sharply, crossing her arms. After a moment, she walked to my bedside and touched my forehead, checking for fever.

“Medically, you’re fine. Whatever’s wrong with you is beyond herbs or healing.”

“Yeah,” I murmured. “If it wasn’t, my sister would’ve fixed me.”

She smiled faintly but then her expression shifted.

“You’re not against Chantel and Serena being together?”

“They’re not together,” I replied quietly.

“They held hands. You’re not angry? The brother I know would never allow any man to touch his sisters.”

“Chantel is different,” I said, meeting her gaze. “He’s loyal to the bone. He knows if he ever hurts my sister, it’s death. He won’t.”

“And Jurrek?” she asked, her tone sharp enough to make me swallow. “I know you and My brother Hades lied and threatened him away from me.”

“We didn’t lie.”

“Liar.”

I sighed, reaching up to caress her cheek until she softened.

“Calling a king a liar takes courage,” I teased, then added more seriously, “You’re right. I threatened him. I told him the truth about your scars and what he’d have to face.”

She bowed her head, her voice trembling.

“No wonder he didn’t come.”

“He promised to,” I said quietly. “He gave his word, and I saw what he felt for you. It was pure. I don’t know how things would’ve gone after what’s happened between the Ashmeres and me, but Mearez, he truly wanted you.”

She blinked back tears and nodded.

“Maybe that’s enough,” she whispered, then looked at me. “And I was expecting you to go after Zephyrine, like before. You’ve always chased her. Why not this time, Lycannar?”

Before I could answer, the distant sound of carriage wheels reached my ears. I straightened slightly.

“You hear that?” I asked.

“What?”

Ignoring my exhaustion, I forced myself up and went to the window. I expected an army, but

instead, carriages lined the road.

Blackbridge’s colors. Supplies of food enough to last my kingdom a month. My chest tightened as I saw her step down with her young son.

“Is that… Lycannar, that’s Luna Tahlia,” Mearez breathed in awe.

I exhaled and swallowed hard. The guard at the gate looked up toward my window. I met his eyes and nodded.

“Let her in.”

The gate groaned open, and the once–Luna of Blackbridge entered. My people gathered, whispering, watching in awe.

“I’ll go meet her,” Mearez said, leaving quickly.

I stayed at the window, frowning. The war had started with Blood Army versus Ashmeres to demons and werewolves, and now to werewolves versus Lycans.

But slowly, allies were emerging from the wolf empire. The first to stand with us openly was this woman, one my brother Hades once confessed he cared for.

I was still deep in thought when I heard the door open again. Mearez led Luna Tahlia in, then handed her son off and left us alone.

Tahlia bowed, but I said nothing.

“Straighten up,” I murmured, but she didn’t comply.

“I have come to…”

“Do it,” I repeated, holding her gaze. “Straighten up.”

She obeyed.

“I heard about your shortage and…”

“I don’t need charity,” I said evenly.

“Who said it’s charity?” she countered. “It’s payment for me and my son to stay here. Is that enough?”

“Wars is coming to my Kingdom and yet you beg to stay here?” I asked but her silence tell me she had made her decision.

Her boldness caught my attention. No wonder Hades liked her.

Without a word, I reached into the bedside drawer and pulled out a ring, the one my brother had left with me. I extended it to her.

“The night you shared with my brother is reason enough to stay,” I said. “He wanted have this. A token of what you both shared.”

She froze, eyes glistening.

“He’s… not here?”

“He’ll be back soon.”

“Thank you,” she whispered, taking the ring before leaving quietly.

I walk to leaned back against the headboard, exhaling. My brother Hades had doubted she’d return, yet here she was.

Now, I wonder if Zephyrine ever will.

Will she come back?

It’s a toss of a coin. Part of me doesn’t want her to, to keep her safe. But the other part of me longs for her return, just to love her again.

And as her absence gnawed at me, pain struck like fire. Amid the laughter of my people outside, I writhed, my body giving in to the torment, until at last I collapsed back into unconsciousness.
