Azreal“This is actually the best time to hold the contest,” Gabriel said firmly.We were gathered in the conference room with the council members. The elders were clearly unhappy that they had not been included in the decision to organize the contest. They felt they had been ignored, and none of them were trying to hide their displeasure.Most of them were still standing behind my mother's opinion. They believed the mating ceremony should take place before the contest. Since their suggestions had been brushed aside, they had spent almost the entire meeting complaining about it.“The contest does not stop the mating ceremony from happening,” one of the elders said. “I don't understand why we have to delay it. The ceremony doesn't have to be grand or expensive. The kingdom simply needs its Luna.”Several elders nodded in agreement, I leaned back in my chair and watched them carefully before speaking.“You mean to tell me that having a Luna is more important than securing the kingdom?”

AthenaA Week LaterThe door to my room opened suddenly, I slowly sat up on the bed, having been half lost in my thoughts. My eyes immediately landed on Talia as she stepped inside.She was already dressed for the day, the simple but elegant dress she wore fit her perfectly. It wasn't overly expensive or flashy, but it carried a level of sophistication that reflected her new position. Looking at her now, no one would mistake her for a maid anymore. Her status had changed, and it showed in the way she dressed, carried herself, and even the confidence in her posture.“Sorry, I thought you were awake already.” She said as she stood by the door. A small smile appeared on my face. “I am heading out, I hope you stay in door and rest well before resuming back to work.” She said.I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, I had left the hospital a few days ago after Varek finally agreed that my injuries had healed properly. However, despite being perfectly capable of returning to work, he had insi

AzraelI looked at her in shock. "What do you mean by I am—" I cleared my throat immediately when I realized I had almost exposed myself. "What do you mean by he is your mate? How did you come to that conclusion?" I asked.The seriousness on my face only made her burst into laughter."You should see your face," she said between laughs. "You look like you are about to go kill him. Your muscles are almost popping out of your head."Normally, I would have laughed with her. But I wasn't in the mood for jokes, her words had struck a nerve. A dangerous one, the thought she had voiced was something I had buried deep inside myself countless times. Every time it surfaced, I shoved it away and convinced myself it was completely impossible.Yet hearing her say it aloud had shaken me more than I wanted to admit. "I am not joking," I said firmly. "Why do you think he might be your mate? Is there some kind of connection?"Her smile slowly faded when she realized I wasn't playing along. She let out

AzraelI smiled widely because I knew exactly where she was going with this."You want to see me shift? And why are you interested in knowing the color of my wolf?" I asked.She swallowed hard before answering. "Curiosity," she said quickly. "I am curious to know what your wolf looks like. Is your wolf so scary and ugly that you don't like to show it off?"She was trying to bait me, a loud laugh escaped me. "You are not trying to bait me into showing you if I don't want to," I said.She pouted immediately and folded her arms across her chest. The expression on her face reminded me of a spoiled child who had just been denied what she wanted."Fine," she huffed. "Since you don't want to tell me, can you ask Varek to come back in? I want to talk about my sexual fantasies."A growl ripped out of me before I could stop it, Ryker growled even louder inside my head. "I love Varek, but if he discusses anything sexual-related with her, I will rip his head off," Ryker said.I clenched my jaw, th

AthenaI immediately choked on my own saliva at that question and started coughing. Before I could even recover, a low growl rumbled through the room. Both Varek and I turned toward the door, the next second, the door burst open so hard that it slammed against the wall.The king strode into the room, his jaw was clenched tightly, and his eyes were burning with anger as they locked onto Varek. The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.“Why are you asking her such a personal question?” He asked.Varek straightened immediately and bowed his head. “it’s a patient and doctor conversation.” Varek said.The king's expression did not soften. Instead, he took another step into the room. “And it requires you to know if she has had any sexual encounters?” The king asked.Varek nodded, for a moment, the king simply stared at him before his gaze shifted to me. His eyes moved over me carefully before returning to the doctor. “Is she pregnant?”My mouth fell open, Out of all the conclusions

Athena“It’s surprising that I feel better and not taking the amount of time I thought it would take me to heal,” I said to Doctor Varek as he cared for me.It had been two days since the rogue attack, two days since death had almost found me again. Yet somehow, I was healing much faster than expected, although the injury in my stomach was still there, it was much better than before.I was able to sit properly on the bed without struggling, the constant ache in my stomach had reduced. Even my strength seemed to be returning much faster than I had anticipated.Doctor Varek looked pleased with my progress as he checked my injury. “I am surprised too,” he said. “You are recovering much faster than expected.”The room was quiet as Doctor Varek continued treating me, as I sat there, my thoughts drifted elsewhere. The king had only come once since the day of the attack. And surprisingly, it was in the middle of the night.I had been sleeping on the bed when he entered the room, he simply s
