“My mentor… talked to you about us?” I couldn’t keep the disbelief out of my voice, especially because of that “interesting” part.
Was that good or bad?
Lady Solange laughed harder. Without her aura pressing down on us, she almost looked relaxed.
“Yes. She told me to keep an eye on you. I’m the Estingia in charge of this Full Moon floor,” she said, introducing herself, to our complete shock.
“So behave yourselves and you’ll get the best version of me. Or create chaos in my territory…” She leaned toward me, and I saw the flash of a wolf in her eyes. “And it won’t be as easy as hitting me in the face with gold coins.”
I didn’t know what to say to that.
I’m pretty sure it showed on my face.
Another mocking laugh burst out of her as she turned her back on us and started walking away, stepping through the gleam of all that gold scattered across the floor.
“Stop by my office later to receive your monthly Angus stone assignment!”
She shouted it as she disappeared around the bend in the hallway.
I stayed there like an idiot, trying to process everything.
Why had that old woman known we would take such good rooms?
Had Lady Solange only been testing me to see how I’d react to Zara?
The questions stayed floating in my mind, but right then, the sound of coins pulled my attention back.
Elessia had bent down to pick them up off the floor, and we were about to help her when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw two figures still trembling near the wall.
“Wait, Elessia…”
“My Lady?” she said, not understanding. “The coins…”
“You don’t have to do that. You’re the squire of a New Moon Estingia. Let them do it.”
I nodded toward Zara’s followers.
Their mistress had left them behind, same as always, and they didn’t know how to hide the fact that they were trying to escape.

“Your… Your Ladyship…”
“What are you waiting for? Pick up the mess your Estingia made.”

I pressed them, watching as they dropped to their knees and rushed to gather the coins from the floor.
I didn’t like humiliating them like that, but they’d started it by going after my friend.
“Elessia, I’ll go handle the paperwork. Watch them. Make sure they don’t keep even one coin, because people judge others by how they themselves behave…”
“Yes, my lady.”
Elessia’s eyes almost seemed to shine with joy and revenge.
I wanted to smile at her, but my tough–girl mask couldn’t melt here.
“We’ll stay with Ele and bring you the rest in a bit,” Mika said.
She and Karla moved aside with their slaves, watching to make sure the girls didn’t try anything dishonest while we were gone.
I nodded and walked into the treasury with firm steps, followed by my loyal shadow, wearing every ounce of confidence I could fake.
That was how we started this new stage as New Moon Estingias, surrounded by Full Moon predators.
A lot of eyes had shifted toward us. Apparently, that training room with the special stones that concentrated power was coveted.
And from now on, our enemies wouldn’t just be cowards hiding behind cruel words and Daddy’s money.
you climbed, the richer the Estingias were. They carried out important missions worth fortunes, han anything… they had real power.
ned the key to all that space I’d acquired for my people, I could only think of one thing.
get stronger. Much stronger.

“Wheeee!” I started laughing when I saw Mika and Elessia jumping on Karla’s bed while Karla stood off to the side with one eyebrow raised, but without protesting.
I loved that Elessia got along so well with my other friends now, and that she’d lost a little of that caution she had around them just because they were Estingias.
I never wanted her to feel lesser than anyone.
“You should’ve seen their faces, Dora!” Elessia shouted, laughing like we were much younger. “Today is the best day of my life!”

She screamed it as she fell backward and bounced on the mattress with Mikaela.

u haven’t told her that’s your bed, have you?” I whispered to Karla when she came to stand beside me.
