Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Freya’s POV I was startled when Caelum Grafton appeared in the laundry room, drawn by the sound of my voice. But the moment his eyes landed on the bloodied clothes soaking in the sink, his expression shifted sharply. “What happened? Are you hurt?” His concern cut
Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Freya’s POV I blinked in surprise. “Have you really thought about being my bodyguard?” Silas Whitmor asked, his voice low, deliberate. So that was what he meant. “ I already told you–I’m not planning on being anyone’s bodyguard right now. Besides, you have plenty of others
Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Freya’s POV He said yes p> That was all I needed to hear. If Kade Blackridge had agreed to step in, the Runestone Market would be evacuated–quietly, efficiently, without panic. That meant I could focus on what came next. Finding Silas Whitmor. I bolted toward the
Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Freya’s POV The next morning, I arrived at Silas Whitmor’s estate, the ancient sigils of the Ironclad Coalition etched in obsidian stone and silver above the archway.

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Third Person’s POV “She doesn’t know a damn thing! If Aurora hadn’t been injured from that fall, she would’ve shown her what real skill looks like p> Mocking laughter dripped with venom as it rang in Freya’s ears. Lana, her wolf aura flaring with rage, stormed
Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Freya’s POV “Thank the Moon!” Lana breathed. “Sending coordinates now. Get here fast p> The exhibition grounds stretched far behind the main arena–open air, wind–swept, and littered with gleaming machines. By the time I reached the prep site, several sponsor reps were pacing in tight circles,
Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Freya’s POV I didn’t expect to feel this… stirred. The Skyborn Summit had always been a place for wolves of rank, soldiers, engineers, and aviators to showcase their strength and innovation. As a former aerial combat warrior of the Ironfang Legion, my blood still responded to
Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Freya’s POV I didn’t want to come back to Silverfang Tower. Not even for a second. But until Caelum and I formally severed our mate bond under the Moon Tribunal, I didn’t want to draw unnecessary attention. I didn’t want the vultures in this city to

There was something grounding about knowing where I belonged, and
Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Freya’s POV It was well past nine when Caelum finally returned to the pack’s estate. He came back exhausted, dragging the weight of the day behind him. I already knew why–he’d spent hours at the healer’s den with Aurora after her fall from the warbeast. Bruises
Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Third Person’s POV No one had expected it. Freya Thorne had just leapt onto the back of the rune–marked warbeast–and stayed on. The entire assembly stood frozen, watching in stunned silence as she deftly pulled the reins taut, leaned forward into the motion, and tightened her
Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Freya’s POV Just as the council murmurs began to grow, Aurora’s voice sliced through the air with calculated grace. “Lana, you’re friends with Freya Thorne, I know you want her to leave a favorable impression on Lord Silas. But there’s no need to fabricate her credentials

Chapter 12 1 Chapter 12 Freya’s POV My wardrobe was almost bare. Just like my jewelry box. In this grand estate built with my hands, the only thing Caelum and I truly owned together… was a pair of cheap, silver wedding bands. They’d never seen sunlight–not once worn in public.
Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Freya’s POV When I returned to the den that night, the first thing I smelled was his scent. Caelum was home. It surprised me. Ever since Aurora returned to the capital, Caelum rarely stepped paw into the villa. The place still carried my scent–but fainter now,
Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Freya’s POV “I don’t have time for this. Your mother’s appointment is today. You and your brother can go with her,” I said coldly, cutting the call before Giselle could get a word in. Then I blocked her number–no packmate should waste my scent or my
