Chapter: 🗡️Chapter 49🗡️The next morning, the entire territory was buzzing with energy. Today was finally the day, Alpha Damir’s official mating ceremony.People from all the neighboring packs were already pouring into the estate one after the other. Within hours, the massive grand hall was completely packed. Guests were floating around the room, grabbing drinks, laughing loudly, and gossiping about the high-profile union.Upstairs in the bridal suite, Seraphine was sitting right in front of a massive vanity mirror, completely soaking in the attention as a team of stylists worked on her makeup. She was already dressed in a stunning, heavy black gown covered in intricate gold embroidery. She looked absolutely breathtaking, and she knew it, staring at her reflection with a smug, satisfied smile. "Hey, easy on the highlighter," Seraphine snapped lightly, gesturing at the mirror. "I want to glow, not look like a disco ball. And make sure the lipstick is totally smudge-proof. I have a lot of people to impress

Chapter: 🗡️Chapter 48🗡️Zelda's POV I leaned my head back against the rough stone wall of the cell, staring up at the ceiling and counting the seconds. Suddenly, the quiet echo of dangling keys echoed down the hallway. I tensed up, watching as a guy in a dark hooded jacket walked up to my cell and slid the key into the heavy lock. The metal gate clicked and swung open. I immediately stood up from the stone bench, my heart racing a little. The hooded guy didn't say a word. He just gave me a quick nod and ushered me out with a wave of his hand. He turned and instantly started leading the way through the dark, quiet corridors, and I followed right behind him, keeping my steps as silent as possible. ---- Third Person POV Later that same night, Seraphine walked out of the bathroom in the Alpha’s private suite. She had just finished a long bath and was wearing nothing but a towel, a massive, arrogant grin plastered across her face. She was already mentally celebrating. Her main goal right now was

Chapter: 🗡️ Chapter 47🗡️I sat up straighter in my chair, my stomach completely dropping. Damir didn't even look at me. He walked right past me like I was a ghost. My heart sank as the brutal reality hit me, whatever that creepy witch did, it actually worked. The bond was officially gone. The crowd in the waiting room quickly cleared a path for him as he marched toward the back to check on Riven. "Alpha, my son... your cousin is dying," riven mother cried out, rushing over and pointing a shaking finger directly at me. "She did this. She stabbed him!" Damir stopped in his tracks and turned around. He looked straight at me, his eyes completely blank and empty. "Who even is she?" he asked aloud. Before anyone could answer, Seraphine strutted into the waiting room, looking smugger than ever. She walked right up to Damir and locked her arm tightly through his, claiming her prize. "Why don't we just kill her?" Seraphine suggested, her voice dripping with fake concern. "I mean, she literally stabbed yo

Chapter: 🗡️ Chapter 46🗡️ Third person POVTrue to her word, Riven’s mother, Valeria, went straight to Luna Mireya to report the whole thing. Valeria was in the middle of talking, completely furious, when the doors burst open and Seraphine strutted into the room. "Whatever complaints you have need to go to the Alpha himself, or straight to me," Seraphine said, dropping her hands onto her hips and smirking. Both Mireya and Valeria snapped their heads around, looking completely thrown off. Seraphine didn't even blink. She looked right at Mireya. "Actually, from now on, former Luna Mireya, you don't really have a say in anything around here. My ceremony is tomorrow. As of then, you don't have the authority to punish anyone, let alone run this pack." Valeria looked back and forth between them, her eyes wide. She looked at Mireya, who looked completely shocked to her very core, her face losing all its color. "Seraphine..." Mireya stammered, her voice shaking. "Are you... are you seriously speaking to me like

Chapter: 🗡️ Chapter 45🗡️ Riven stepped closer into the temple. "What are you doing here?" Mireya demanded. "I followed you two," he said, keeping his eyes locked right on me. "Leave this place right now. That is an order," Mireya snapped. Riven just raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed. "Go ahead, do it! Reject him!" Seraphine yanked my hair from behind. Pain shot through my scalp, and I swear I almost slapped her into next week. I barely managed to keep my cool enough to just shove her away from me. "Reject him. Now," Mireya said, turning her glare back to me. The old witch slammed her staff on the ground, murmuring something under her breath. Suddenly, a glowing barrier appeared, completely blocking Riven from moving any further into the temple. I dropped to my knees. My heart was pounding, but I forced the words out. "I... I reject..." I swallowed hard. "I, Zelda Fischer, reject Alpha Damir as my mate." "Good girl," Seraphine purred. I didn't even have to look at her to know she was grinning l

Chapter: 🗡️Chapter 44🗡️The temple appeared between the trees like it had been there forever. It looked like the forest had just grown around it over hundreds of years without touching it. It was small, made of stone, and old, not just because of how it looked, but because of how it felt. The air around it felt heavy and serious, like the place itself knew it was important. I stopped right at the entrance. I felt a strange sensation in my chest. It wasn't exactly fear or instinct, just a weird feeling of awareness. It was the kind of feeling you get when your body figures out something before your brain does. Mireya had stopped a few steps ahead of me and turned around. "Come on," she said, sounding nice and warm. "There's nothing to worry about." I looked at the doorway, then at her, and finally walked inside. It was dim and warm inside. The room had a weird glow, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from, there weren't any candles or torches. The light just seemed to come straight out of the

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️ 🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE🎀 Within moments, her hair got completely foamy, turning into a massive white cloud on top of her head. Asher couldn't help but chuckle, using his fingers to mold the suds into ridiculous shapes, totally playing with it. Zayla’s eyes gleamed with sudden mischief. She scooped a huge handful of the thick foam straight off her head and slapped it right onto Asher’s face. He froze as the suds practically engulfed his features, leaving him with a hilarious white beard and foam dripping down his nose. "Oops... my bad, sorry," she giggled, totally not looking sorry at all. Asher’s eyes narrowed playfully. Without a word, he scooped up a massive wave of foamy water and splashed it right back at her, catching her completely off guard. "Oh, it's on!" she gasped, scooping up more bubbles and flinging them at him again. Caught up in the sudden, chaotic bubble war, Zayla completely forgot where she was. She suddenly sat straight up in the batht

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️ 🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-EIGHT🎀Zayla quickly walked up to Elira, kneeling down beside her to console her. She began gently rubbing her back, trying to offer whatever comfort she could as Elira sobbed. "Zayla! Zayla!" a panicked voice suddenly shouted, echoing through the courtyard. Right, with all the sheer chaos that had just gone down, she had completely forgotten her father was still in the palace. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the frantic voice. "I'm right here, Father!" she shouted back.King Edric rushed into the courtyard, his face pale with worry. He ran straight up to her, his hands out as he scanned her for injuries. "Are you okay? I am so, so sorry... I was totally dead to the world, but I woke up because of the massive commotion outside. Are you hurt anywhere?" he asked, his voice shaking. "No, Father, I'm completely fine," Zayla said reassuringly. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his outstretched arm, hugging it tightly

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️ 🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SEVEN🎀Asher and Kai arrived at the gates just in time, sliding into the chaos like total badasses.Without breaking a sweat, Asher jumped straight into the thick of the rumble. He tore through the remaining enemy troops with absolute, brutal perfection, cutting them down one by one until the ground was completely cleared.Once the dust settled, Asher just stood there, totally calm. His eyes locked right onto Vargos, who was currently jumping down from his horse while slow-clapping with a toxic smirk on his face."Impressive. Truly a masterclass in violence," Vargos mocked, taking slow steps toward him. He stopped just a few feet away, his eyes burning with pure hatred. "You remember me, don't you, Lord Asher?"Asher let out a dark, mocking chuckle. "Too bad for you, I’ve got an incredibly sharp memory. It’s honestly a blessing and a curse at the same time. How could I ever forget a pathetic face like yours?"Vargos’s jaw clenched, his playful attitu

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️ 🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-SIX🎀Asher finally leaned forward and bit the cookie out of her fingers. Zayla still couldn't stop laughing, her shoulders shaking as she giggled at how absurdly stiff and awkward he was being. Before she could take a step back, Asher's hand shot out. He gripped her wrist firmly but gently, pulling her forward until she lost her balance and fell directly onto his lap.Her laughter cut off instantly. She froze, her heart hammering against her ribs as she looked into his dark eyes. "Are you mad at me?" she asked softly, suddenly self-conscious. "No," Asher murmured, his voice dropping into a low, velvety register. "Your laugh is like music to my ears. It is doing something to me..." "Really?" Zayla blinked, her voice barely a whisper. "What is it doing?" "It reminds me that I'm a man," he said smoothly, his gaze darkening with a heavy, intense heat that made his intentions completely clear. Zayla swallowed hard, her breath catching in her t

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FIVE🎀 Zayla stood there completely frozen, shock paralyzing her limbs. She slowly raised a hand and wiped her face, blinking hard to make sure she wasn't trapped in some vivid dream. But when she opened her eyes, he was still standing there. Truly, she wasn't dreaming. "Father?" she called out again, her voice cracking with emotion. A warm, familiar smile spread across his face. That was all the confirmation she needed. Zayla rushed forward and threw herself at him, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck in a desperate hug. King Edric let out a hearty laugh, holding her close and completely enveloping her in his protective embrace. When they finally pulled apart, he looked down at her with soft, apologetic eyes. "I am so sorry, my little girl..." "No, don't be," Zayla interrupted quickly, shaking her head. "Everything happens for a reason anyway." "Maybe so," he murmured gently. "But what are you even doing here?" Zayla asked, her head spin

Chapter: ❄️❄️ Taming his cold heart❄️❄️ 🎀CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-FOUR🎀By mid-afternoon, the sun was casting a warm, amber glow over the palace grounds. Zayla was sitting comfortably in a shaded balcony barricade, completely absorbed in a book. Lyra quietly poured her a fresh cup of steaming tea before taking a seat right across from her."So, the palace library is finally getting a new scholar tomorrow?" Lyra asked, leaning her chin on her hand.Zayla nodded without looking up from her page, having already filled Lyra it on the chaotic events from earlier."Asher actually mentioned it to me, too. He said the official examinations are being held first thing in the morning." Lyra then leaned in a bit closer, a playful glint in her eyes. "By the way, my lady... you and Lord Asher seem to be getting incredibly close lately."Zayla finally looked up from her book. She didn't say anything at first, just giving Lyra a knowing, radiant grin before dropping her eyes back down to the text. "Yes... we are."Lyra’s smile wi
