Lycan’s POV
“Someone inside the council is helping Seraphine.”
The corridor went completely silent after Kaelira said it. Cassian stopped struggling instantly. Not denial but defeat.
I kept him pinned against the stone wall while Kaelira reread the document in her hand, slower this time, like she was making sure the words hadn’t changed between glances.
They hadn’t. Council authorization seals. Patrol routes. Internal security schedules.
Enough information to weaken Ironfang from the inside without ever forcing a direct attack.
Calculated.
Careful.
And far bigger than one manipulative woman trying to protect her position.
Serenya stepped closer beside Kaelira. “That seal’s genuine.”
“I know,” Kaelira replied quietly.
Her voice had changed.
Not emotional, worse and focused.
