Chapter 58

Zephyrine

Finished

I stood silently by the window, staring at the dark sky swallowing the empire. From here, I could see the pack members passing through the White Pack Gate, making their way to the duel arena already prepared for tonight’s fight.

To the death. That was what this duel was about.

I folded my arms across my chest, wondering what if I slip? What if I fail? What if my techniques are rusty, just like Lycannar said? What if…

My thoughts broke when the White Pack Gate swung open wide for a carriage to wheel inside.

My gaze sharpened. It was the same carriage Luna Tahlia had used. I leaned forward, watching as the wheels rolled to a stop. She alighted slowly, cloaked with her hood covering her face, and walked toward the dusk door.

A knock followed.

I turned as Blue quickly went to answer. The door opened, and Luna Tahlia stepped in.

“Zephyrine,” she called, hurrying to me with open arms. I embraced her, though confusion knotted in my chest. What is she doing here?

“Zephyrine, I came to say goodbye.”

Dessyn and Moon rose from where they had been sitting in silence, moving closer to listen.

“Why would you say goodbye now? The duel is about to start.”

She shook her head.

“You’ve done enough for me already. Standing against Yadev and her venomous daughter was victory in itself. The loyalists to the bloodline and Alpha’s seat have arranged for me to flee to another pack, to live quietly with Young Black.”

She took my hand before I could reply, patting it gently.

“I won’t be the reason you die, Zephyrine. If you refuse the duel as the Lycan King’s woman, they’ll let you go. I’ll be fine on my own.”

Her words fell heavy in the room. My chest tightened, but I squeezed her hand softly.

“Luna Tahlia… this isn’t just about survival. This is about clearing your name.”

She looked away, but I pressed on.

“They called you a slut. They said your son is a bastard. Will you be able to look into his and…”

“But I can’t have your death on my hands. What if you lose?” she trembled.

Chapter 58

Moon stepped in, voice sharp and sure.

I glanced at Luna Tahlia, and she nodded. Together, we walked out. In her carriage, her young son sat beside his grandmother. Olga greeted me warmly, and I returned the smile before turning to Blue.
