SAGE

I didn't manage to sleep last night. No matter how much I willed my body to rest, exhaustion never fully claimed me. The dull, persistent pain radiating from the wound on my back made every movement agonizing, but that wasn't the real reason I couldn't close my eyes.

It was Titus.

The image of him was burned into my mind. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw him fighting against the odds, protecting us without hesitation. And now, I had no idea if he was still fighting or if he had already lost.

The thought sent a sharp pang through my chest.

I was terrified.

Terrified that if I allowed myself even a moment of rest, something terrible would happen. That the next time I opened my eyes, someone would come bearing the worst news possible.

I turned my head, my gaze settling on Harper and Cooper, curled up together in their sleep. Their small chests rose and fell in a steady rhythm, their peaceful expressions a stark contrast to the chaos we had barely escaped.

A faint sense of relief washed over me.

At least they were safe.

At least, for now, they didn't have to carry the weight of everything that was happening around them.

I reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair away from Harper's face before doing the same to Cooper. A small, tired smile tugged at my lips as they instinctively nuzzled closer to each other in their sleep.

They were my only source of comfort in this moment-the only thing keeping me grounded.

However, that peace didn't last long. I jolted upright at the sudden noise coming from outside the room. My heart pounded in my chest as hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway, growing louder by the second.

Before I could react, the door burst open. Several guards stormed inside, their faces void of any emotion, their stance rigid and intimidating.

My first instinct was to shield Harper and Cooper, my arms instinctively wrapping around their sleeping forms.

"What is the meaning of this?" I demanded, my voice sharp despite my exhaustion.

One of the guards stepped forward, his gaze cold and unwavering. "Lady Sage, you are to come with us immediately. The council demands your presence."

I stiffened.
