AMORAH

I stood still for a moment after reading the message, letting the meaning settle fully before I reacted. My fingers tightened slightly around the paper before I lowered my hand, already knowing this was not something I could ignore.

Kyra shifted closer beside me, her shoulder brushing lightly against my arm as she tried to read my expression. Zane stayed quiet, but the way he straightened told me he was paying attention to every word that had just passed between Conrad and

1. me.

“What does it say?” Zane asked, his tone steady but alert.

I glanced at him briefly before answering, keeping my voice level.

“She wants me to come to her,” I replied.

Kyra’s brows knitted together slightly, her reaction immediate.

“Alone?” she asked.

The question lingered for a second before I shook my head.

“She didn’t specify,” I answered, though we all understood what was implied.

Conrad remained beside me, his posture unchanged, but there was a change in the way his attention settled on me. He did not reach for the message again, and he did not question what it contained, because he had already read it.

“You’re not going,” he said, his tone calm but firm.

I turned toward him fully, meeting his words without stepping back.

“I am,” I replied.

His jaw tightened slightly, not in anger, but in clear disagreement.

“She chose the ground,” he continued. “That alone tells you what this is.”

“I know what it is,” I answered.

“Then you also know it’s not a meeting,” he added.

“I never expected it to be,” I answered.

There was a brief pause between us, not empty, but filled with the weight of what we both understood. The bond between us reacted again, not as strongly as before, but enough that I felt it settle in my chest.

“You don’t walk into something like that without preparation,” he said.

“And I won’t,” I replied.

His gaze remained on me, steady and assessing, as if estimating how far I was willing to take this. I did not look away.

“She’s forcing this,” he said.

She’s auclerating it. I corrected.

That caused his facial expression to change again, not approval, but acknowledgment.

“She wants control of the next move, “I continued. “If I don’t respond, she keeps i

“And if you do respond, she sets the terms,” he countered.

“Not if I walk in ready,” I replied.

The silence that followed was brief, but it carried enough weight to make the tension clear. Conrad did not step closer, but the space between us felt smaller anyway.

“You don’t go alone,” he said.

“I wasn’t planning to,” I answered.

That was enough to settle part of the tension, but not all of it.

Zane shifted slightly at my side, his attention moving between us before he spoke again.

“We’re coming,” he said.

I turned to him immediately, shaking my head.

“No,” I replied.

His expression hardened slightly, his stance firm.

“This is about us too,” he pushed.

“And that’s exactly why you’re not coming,” I answered.

Kyra’s hand tightened at her side, her voice quieter when she spoke.

“She used us,” she said. “We should be there.”

I softened my tone slightly, but not my decision.

“You’ve already been in the center of it,” I replied. “You don’t step back into that until we know what she changed.”

Zane did not look convinced, but he did not argue again immediately.

“She won’t expect you to stay behind,” Conrad added, his voice directed toward them now.

That shifted their attention to him.

“And that gives us an advantage,” he continued.

Zane exhaled slowly, tension still visible in the way he held himself.

“So we wait,” he said.

“For now,” Conrad answered.

Kyra looked between us once more, then gave a small nod, though the concern in her expression did nor fade.

Hurned back to Conrad, the decision already settled in my mind.

“When do we move?” I asked.

He did not answer right away, his attention still fixed on me as if weighing something beyond the immediate situation.

“Not like this,” he said.

“Then how?” I pressed.

“We prepare,” he replied. “We decide where this happens, even if she thinks she has.”

“She gave a location,” I said, lifting the folded message slightly.

“And that doesn’t mean we walk into it blindly,” he answered.

I nodded once, accepting that without argument.

“Then we plan,” I said.

Conrad turned slightly, signaling to one of his wolves without breaking the flow of the moment.

“Call the inner circle,” he ordered. “Now.”

The wolf moved immediately, disappearing into the corridor without delay.

I exhaled slowly, letting the tension in my shoulders ease just enough to think clearly. The urgency was still there, but it was no longer rushed.

“She wants me there for a reason,” I said.

“Yes,” Conrad replied.

“And it’s not just about finishing what she started,” I continued.
