I couldn’t sleep. Not even once. All I did was stare up at the sketch of her face and pamper her
into slumber.
Chapter 240
Now, with the morning sun spilling into the bedchamber, I wondered what the day would bring. I lay still with her in my arms, her breath soft against me, when footsteps echoed faintly.
My brother Hades.
He hadn’t slept in the chamber my sister had prepared for him. I knew that from the silence in my halls all night. Now, standing in the doorway, he raked his hair with his fingers.
He smelled like sex, and I didn’t need to guess who had spent the night with him.
“Little brother, I…” he began, but I silenced him with a look. He raised a brow, but before I could say a word, Zephyrine stirred in my arms, her lashes fluttering open.
My jaw tightened. Rage surged as Hades, realizing what he had interrupted, slipped away without another word. By the time I blinked, he was gone.
Zephyrine moaned softly, still half asleep, and whispered drowsily,
“Good morning, Nyroth.”
Stillness. A pause that split my chest wide open.
Did she just…
Her eyes snapped open fully, and she looked straight at my face. Realization struck her, and she bolted upright, pulling away, her breath ragged.
“Good morning, Lycan.”
The words cracked the air like a whip.
I said nothing. Only stared, choking down the storm inside me. Then I tore myself from the bed, pulling on my robe, but her voice stopped me.
“Lycan”
I froze. Turned.

“I… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to… call you by anyone else’s name.”

She was sorry. I saw it in her eyes. But the apology did nothing to cool the wildfire now burning in my chest.
I nodded once, turned, and walked out of the chamber.
My feet carried me to the bath hall. Hades was there, just finishing, toweling off after a dip in the pool. He glanced up when I entered.
“I thought I’d wash quickly before you and your woman came to use it,” he said as he finished dressing up, but I ignored him, stripping my shirt away.
The silence ate at me until rage burst its cage. I grabbed the laundry basket, flung it hard, and it crashed against the wall, just as the door opened.
Zephyrine froze in the entrance.
Silence. Heavier than stone. She went pale, and I clenched my jaw, turning from her as I continued to undress.
Hades, sensing what brewed between us, slipped out quickly, leaving only us.
She stepped toward me, her sigh trembling.
“Lycan?” Her voice shook. “Lycan, I’d like to go now. I… I have to…‘
“”
“To where?” My voice cut her off. I turned fully to face her. “To where, Zephyrine?”
Something was wrong. I could see it. She didn’t look like herself.
Her throat worked as she struggled to speak, then whispered, almost broken,
“I have to go to Hue Pack.”
Hue.
I stilled. That pack. I had been there once. My jaw set.
“Why?”
No answer. Only her face, paling, twisting with pain.
My anger gave way to fear. She clutched her chest, breath shuddering. She staggered, then looked up at me, her eyes glowing faintly with an unfamiliar light.
