I couldn’t sleep. No. Not even for a moment. All I could do was lie awake, staring at the blank space above me. At intervals, I shifted position, sighing shakily, heart heavy with thoughts I couldn’t shake.

The sight had made my chest tighten. Reality left a bitter taste in my mouth, and anger churned inside me, wanting to lash out but time was against me.

After the party, I was supposed to meet her, but she hadn’t come. Instead, she had ended up with Apex. Word had come that they had shared the same bed and I knew there was no way the Lycan King wouldn’t have claimed her. Fucked her.

“Damn it!” I muttered under my breath, fingers digging deep into my hair.

If only there were a way to have her back. If only she could see how much she meant to me now. If only I could prove how far I’d go, how much I’d sacrifice for her. If only… if only…

A soft shuffle of footsteps snapped me from my thoughts. I sat up, eyes fixed on the door. After a few seconds, it opened gently, and Kai stepped in. Without a word, he approached the curtain, parting it before turning to me with an unsettling glance.

Sunlight spilled into the room, and I closed my eyes briefly, trying to steel myself. It was morning, and I felt raw, uneasy. I sighed shakily, opening my eyes to look at him again.

He held an invitation card in his hand, and the silence pressed down harder than any tension I’d known.

“What is it?” I asked, trying to steady my voice.

The Imperium Council sent this, Alpha Nyroth. You need to read it,” he said, extending the card. I took it carefully, unfolding it to read the words written inside.

Alpha Nyroth of Hue Pack, by the order of the Imperium Council, you are called to attend the urgent trial of a traitor, Zephyrine Ashmere. She and her family are accused of collusion with demons and bribery Witness the great truth unfold before you. Do not be late before noon

The card slipped from my hand and fell to the floor. My pulse hammered. Wait. What had I just read?

“It’s not only you who received the invitation. Every Alpha in the Shifter Empire has been called, all concerning Zeph and her Ashmere lineage. What do you make of this?”

I struggled for words and I couldn’t speak just yet. The Council had been at her ascension celebration day before yesterday. How could everything have turned so suddenly? Panic and frustration clawed at me, and doubt crept in. What if she had truly betrayed them? What if this was beyond her control and beyond me?

Kai’s voice broke my spiraling thoughts.

“Kaela and her father will be there. Kaela Yadev is the envoy of peace. The invitation sent to Blackbridge Pack is authentic and respectful.”

I exhaled slowly, though unease still gnawed at me.
