“Some,” | replied without thinking. “I used to train with the warriors in-"
Oh no.
| quickly snapped my mouth shut before | could give myself away. That was another close call. One more word
and | might have almost accidentally revealed my true identity, potentially condemning Alexander to the same
fate that poor farmer had met.
As angry as | was with Alexander, | didn’t want him to die. | didn’t want Lucien to be left without a father and a
mother.
“In where?” Alexander asked, glancing up at me.
“Nowhere. My old pack. You wouldn't have heard of it.”
“Try me,” Alexander replied.
| deliberately chomped down on the tip of my tongue as punishment. “Oh, I, uh, don’t recall the name,” | lied,
tapping my temple with my index finger. “Lost the memory along with my last name, | guess.”
Alexander stared atfor a moment in confusion. | knew it was obvious that | was lying, but I forced my face to
remain neutral.
“Anyway,” | went on with a shrug, “it was just basic self-defense training. Nothing serious.’

“Right...” Alexander finished wrapping my leg and stood, gathering up the bloody bandages and medical
supplies. His shoulders were tense as he crossed the room and began putting everything away.
“My late wife trained with the Stormhollow warriors,” he said, and | swore | could almost hear something wistful

Alexander shota look that was almost a smile over his shoulder. “Yeah. | didn’t realize it for a long time, but
she really was.” His eyes flickered with something | couldn't quite read before he turned fully back to face me.
Well, you probably would have gotten along in that regard.”
If only he knew.
| cleared my throat. “Thank you for helpingwith my bandage,” | stood up carefully. My leg protested, but it
wasn't as bad as before. “I should go check on Lucien now. He's been withoutall day.”
“Stella.”
| paused at the kitchen door. “What?”
“About the trial. | know you keep saying you're not interested, but-"
“I'm really not interested,” | cut him off. “I told you that from the beginning. All | want is to take care of Lucien

and do my job as his nanny, so if you don’t mind, I'm going to drop out of the trial now.”
Alexander's expression softened slightly. “Your loyalty to my son is... admirable. But the next phase of the trial
has already been set in stone. The council spent weeks planning this, and now that you've been crowned Queen
of the Hunt, it would look very bad if you suddenly dropped out.”
“I don’t care how it looks,” | snapped.

Talk about stubborn.
“Fine,” | said through gritted teeth. “One more trial. But after that, I'm dropping out.”
Alexander's mouth lifted on one side. “That's assuming you don’t get eliminated anyway.”
