Alpha Orion SEVENTY SIX
The castle was silent when Orion jerked awake.Rey was fast asleep in the cage of his arms, her breath soft against his chest, her body warm and limp with exhaustion. For a moment, he didn't move; he only watched her, the faint rise and fall of her chest, the peace on her face that she rarely ever knew.He had just begun to relax back into the pillows when a low, distant sound cut through the night. A stifled shout in light of a small commotion outside, followed by boots pounding the earth and metal clattering.His eyes snapped open fully, his muscles tensing in alarm. Something was wrong.Slowly—painfully slowly—he peeled his arm from under her. She stirred but didn't wake, only pressed her face deeper into the pillow.He pressed a soft kiss to her hairline and tucked the blanket around her one last time before slipping from the bed.He didn't dare risk the door banging so as not to wake her, so he held the handle and eased it shut behind him.The hallway was dimly lit by sconces on

Orion didn't breathe at first when he heard the words leave her lips in a fragile whisper, yet it hit him like a blow. Something inside him cracked, and finally, he gave in.A low, resigned sound slipped from him as he tugged off his boots and climbed into the bed, settling beside her the same way he had the night before. Except this time the air vibrated with something sharper, needier and harder to control.His arms wrapped around her, enclosing her in a cocoon of warmth she clung to instinctively.She melted into him instantly, her forehead against his chest, her fingers clutching the fabric of his tunic like she feared he might vanish if she let go.But the heat didn't fade. It pulsed, simmering under her skin, demanding more. She knew the moment she pulled away; it would slam into her a thousand times worse."Orion?" Rey murmured in a low trembling voice, and Orion hummed, the vibrations of the sound travelling from his chest straight to the pit of her stomach.She sighed, pursin

General Sevan led them through a long corridor before stopping in front of a pair of wooden doors carved with the crest of the Eastern clan. Inside, two maids bowed and entered behind them, carrying folded garments and fresh linens.They placed them at the edge of the unnecessarily large bed and exited as quietly as they came."You may change and rest here. Alpha Aleksandr will send word once Alpha Caspian is here," Sevan said before leaving them alone.The silence that followed was thick, filled only by the faint crackle of the hearth. Orion turned toward Rey, who stood at the center of the room with her arms folded across her chest."You should rest. I'll ask for another room—" he tried to offer, but she shook her head almost instantly, exhaustion shadowing her eyes."Don't. I don't want to be alone." She muttered, and he hesitated, watching the tremor in her hands as she undid the buttons on the wrist of her shirt."Reylin—""I'm scared, Orion." Her voice broke quietly, cutting him

Orion stepped forward, his expression guarded as he extended his arm towards the Alpha, who clasped his forearm in greeting."Thank you for receiving us without prior notice," he said, taking a step back, and Aleksandr nodded, his eyes drifting behind Orion to the human girl he'd travelled with.When he was first informed of the Alpha's arrival at the borders of his territory, he'd been skeptical because he knew Orion wasn't one to act beyond protocol but imagine his surprise when he received news that the Alpha of the North had not come alone.He studied her for a brief second, not allowing his attention to linger before he faced Orion again. She hadn't said a word, and he was curious to know if the rumours were true."I will overlook the fact that you trespassed onto my land only because I'm mildly curious about the reason you're here," said Alpha Aleksandr, his gaze roving over Orion and the human.It was clear they had been travelling for a while on foot. He wondered what exactly

When morning came, Rey stirred against the solid warmth beside her. Her lashes fluttered open, and she found Orion already awake, his gaze fixed on her.He looked at her as though she might vanish if he so much as blinked. There was something soft in his eyes, a kind of quiet awe that made her stomach flutter.For a long moment, neither of them spoke. The world outside the small clearing was still, the gentle rustle of trees in the wind the only sound between them. His thumb brushed the back of her hand absentmindedly, tracing slow, unthinking circles that sent warmth up her arm.Rey met his gaze, and the breath caught in her throat. There was longing there, raw and unguarded. And as she stared back at him, she realised she didn't regret the kiss, not even a little. Whether that was a good thing or bad, she couldn't yet tell.He said nothing, only held her with that steady, reverent gaze until the quiet between them began to hum.When they finally rose and resumed their journey, the a

They walked in silence for a long while, the forest alive with the sound of rustling leaves and the distant call of birds. The morning light filtered through the canopy in gold ribbons, falling across Rey's hair as she walked a few paces behind him.Every now and then, Orion would glance over his shoulder to check if she was keeping up. She'd catch his gaze, and neither of them would look away quickly enough.The air between them seemed to hum, heavy and fragile at once.Rey hugged her arms to her chest, watching his broad back move through the trees, the sunlight catching the edges of his dark hair. She wanted to say something, anything, but her tongue felt thick in her mouth.When she finally found her voice, it came out softer than intended."Earlier... What did you mean?"Orion slowed his steps, then stopped altogether. His shoulders stiffened. He turned halfway toward her, his expression unreadable."When you said it wasn't a fever," she added, her eyes searching his face. "What
