Chapter 375: Shadows of Deception

Drystan's POV

"No!" Nova gasped, rushing forward, but it was too late. The rogue was gone.

I stared down at the lifeless body, my wolf snarling in frustration. He'd been sent here for one reason: to dangle the truth just out of our reach, then snatch it away.

Killian stood beside me, his face unreadable but his eyes shadowed with something dark-something I couldn't quite place.

Rowena stepped into the courtyard, her expression carefully neutral, though her eyes gleamed with a calculated edge.

Killian's jaw tightened. "What do you know about this, Mother?"

Rowena raised a brow, feigning innocence. "About what? The endless rogue attacks? Or the fact that you seem determined to pin everything on me?"
