Elara’s POVThe sun had already started to dip behind the treetops. I had been sitting near the window again, unable to resist the draw of watching the pack move about in their rhythm of life.The laughter of children echoed faintly, and the smell of roasted meat drifted up from the kitchens. All of it made my chest ache with a strange mix of yearning and fear.That vision of Kael and I standing amidst ashes and bodies had never left me. It clawed at the back of my mind every time I blinked, threatening to consume what little peace I found in these moments.“Elara.”His voice was deep, commanding, edged with authority that made the air itself stand still. My body reacted before my mind did. I turned, my pulse quickening, to see Kael step through the doorway. His presence filled the room effortlessly, dark eyes finding me instantly.He didn’t look as tired today, though the constant burden of being Alpha showed in the way his shoulders held tension, in the faint lines at the corners of

Elara’s POVThe room was huge.I had been here before when I was his personal assistant, but that changed so fast. Now, I was back here like I never left.“Are you going to be fine?” Milo asked.“Yes,” I nodded.I looked at Milo. He was really stiff, and it made me smile.“Milo…” I called.“Ya…” he answered. I could see he was uncomfortable. Milo and Jack were two of the people I wanted to make a close connection with, but whenever I tried, they seemed to pull back.“Are you scared?” I asked him.His brows furrowed. “Scared? Of what, Miss?”“Elara…”He looked uncomfortable, but I urged.“You can call me Elara,” I said to him.“But—”“There is no but. Now, back to the question I asked. Are you scared?”He shook his head. “No, miss—”I gave him a look.“Sorry, Elara.”My name rolled from his mouth. It sounded strange.“I mean, are you scared of me? What could I do?”He looked at me for a while. “I trust Kael, and you are his mate. So I would extend that trust to you.”That was one way t

Liora’s POVMy father’s estate was quieter than usual… too quiet.Normally, the halls hummed with servants’ footsteps, the occasional clatter of dishes, or the muted voices of guards stationed by the doors. But today, the silence pressed against my skin like a warning.I had been summoned here with no clear explanation. My father’s voice had been brisk, commanding, in that way that meant he wouldn’t tolerate questions. Still, even as I obeyed, unease coiled tight in my stomach.The moment I arrived, the servants ushered me to the east wing parlor and told me to wait. Just that one word, clipped and sharp—wait.And I waited.I paced, and then I heard them.Their voices drifted through the floorboards from my father’s study one level below. It was muffled at first, then clearer when I pressed myself near the wall in the corner. It was a foolish move, perhaps, but curiosity burned through me stronger than caution.“…she cannot be left in Kael’s hands,” a woman’s cold voice declared. It w

Kael’s POVThe council chamber loomed ahead, its stone doors carved with symbols of wolves, crowns, and fire. I had stood before this council countless times, had commanded their attention and bent their doubts to my will. But tonight, I walked in with the weight of something heavier—Elara.Her name was on their tongues, though they didn’t dare speak it loudly yet. I could feel it, the unease running like a current beneath the air.The doors creaked open as Jack pushed them aside, stepping in first. I followed, my strides deliberate, powerful, as if daring anyone in the room to challenge me.The chamber was lit by towering braziers, firelight dancing over the faces of the council members seated in their semicircle. Ten of them, cloaked in dark garments, their expressions ranging from wary to calculating.“Alpha Kael.” Elder Marek, the council’s newly appointed head after Take had been suspended, rose from his seat, his voice heavy with authority. His hair was white as snow, but his ey

Elara’s POVI bolted back up as visions of battles flooded my mind, and in the middle of it all were Kael and I.We looked like the devil standing under different bodies.I screamed.“Ahhhhh!”Then I felt someone grip my hands. “Hey, hey, Elara, it’s okay. I’m here.”I turned to the sound of the voice, as it stirred my wolf, Astrid.“Kael?” My vision was coming back slowly.He gave a slight nod. “Yes, I’m here.” His hold on my hands tightened, giving me affirmation that he was here for me.“I’m scared…” I choked as tears flowed down my face.“You don’t need to be. Everything will be fine, okay?” His voice was soft and calming.My vision returned fully, but this time, I was normal. I couldn’t hear it all, see it all, or even smell it all.It was peaceful.“Storm, what’s going on with her?” Kael asked.Storm stepped out of the light. “Her body is going to process the fact that she has a powerful being with her. It is no longer in control on its own.” He turned to me. “Elara, you need to

Elara’s POVI could feel the power pulsing through my veins. It was crazy how different it would be to have a wolf and a mate.All my senses had been heightened. I could see in the dark and far. I picked up sounds faster, and even smell was not a problem.It was nice, but at the same time, it had a downside.The constant pain it brought. I couldn't separate the different sounds. My mind was a mess, even in my sleep.I hadn’t been able to meet my wolf personally. I could feel her—her powers flowed through my veins—but she hadn’t spoken to me yet.The door to my infirmary was pushed open. The sound of the door was so loud.“Ahhhh…”I looked up to see Storm walking in. He had his clipboard with his lab coat.I pressed my hands against my ears, trying to stop the loud noise. It was like a sledgehammer had gone off in my head.“I was going to ask you how you are, but I guess that expression was my answer.”I didn’t reply as I tried to calm down the noise.I looked up at him. “Make it stop,
