“I’m busy with my studies,” she said, the edge in her voice no longer concealed. “And Rowan has his own responsibilities. We won’t be attending. I’ll send someone to collect you and bring you to the estate.”

She didn’t wait for a response.

The call ended with a sharp, decisive motion of her thumb.

Miles away, the glacial winds of Lunaris tore through the station like a living thing, sending spirals of snow skittering across the platform. Frost clung to every surface, biting and relentless-yet none of it touched Eldric. Heat pulsed beneath his skin, fierce and consuming, as if something caged within him was clawing to break free.

His daughter had grown defiant.

Unruly.

Daia stood beside him, her expression paling as she lowered her gaze. Orion lingered nearby, hands in his coat pockets, his face indifferent, as though the tension in the air had nothing to do with him.

“Cora is under a lot of pressure right now,” Daia said gently, resting her hand against Eldric’s arm, “She’ll send someone. There’s no need to be upset.”

“Upset?” Eldric scoffed. “She thrives here because of my support. My resources. Don’t pretend she’s done this alone.” His lip curled faintly. “And yet others manage just fine with far less, don’t they? If they can, then my daughter should have done better.”

Daia hesitated. “You mean… Lylah?”

At the name, something unreadable flickered through Orion’s eyes before he spoke. “I heard her mate also works at the Lunaris Research Center.”

“And what is he, really?” Eldric’s gaze sharpened, his wolf bristling at the thought. “Another expendable subordinate. A lackey.” His voice dropped, heavy with command as he turned to Orion. “When you enter that place, you will not associate with him. Do you understand? You carry the Ironcrest name. You will not drag it through the dirt.”

Orion inclined his head, obedient as ever.

“You will prove yourself. Rise above them all. And if necessary…” Eldric’s eyes glinted, something predatory surfacing. “You will make sure Lylah’s mate is removed.”

Snow thickened around them, falling in heavy silence, cloaking the world in white, but it did nothing to dull the razor edge of his command.

“Yes, Father,” Orion said.

Yet beneath the surface, his wolf remained unmoved-no spark of dominance, no hunger for the hunt his father demanded. Only a still, hollow quiet where ambition should have burned
