“I’m all cars,” I said, turning my attention to Miles. He shifted closer, his head bowed as if bracing himself for something difficult to say.

“Luna,” he began hesitantly, “I was at the border when a stranger in a cloak handed Raven the envelope.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Miles, what were you doing at the border?”

“I went hunting,” he explained quickly. “I happened to come out of the woods and saw the stranger giving the envelope to Raven. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but when I overheard the stranger ask Raven to ensure it got to you, I decided to follow the stranger.”

“So?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

Miles swallowed hard. “I couldn’t see what was inside the envelope, so I followed the stranger instead. He was moving carefully, trying not to draw attention. Eventually, he reached a secluded spot and took off his cloak. That’s when I saw his face.”

“Who was it?” I asked, my curiosity piqued.

“Alina,” Miles said, his voice dropping. “A pregnant Alina.”

My jaw dropped. “What?”

Miles nodded gravely. “I was just as shocked, Luna. I couldn’t understand why she was involved or what she’d sent to you. But when I saw the commotion this morning, I knew it had to be her doing.”

Alina… pregnant? The news left me reeling. What game was she playing now, and why had she caused all this chaos?

I gritted my teeth as I turned and made my way back to my office. It was nearly dusk, and I needed to focus on the mountain of work on my desk. I could think about Alina’s schemes later.

When I reached my office, I saw that Trajan had done as I’d asked. The pile of files had reduced, but the important ones still seemed endless.

Sighing, I sat at the desk and got to work.
