LOGINMila’s POVSilver light swallowed me whole for a terrifying moment, I couldn’t feel the palace anymore or even hear the others.It was like floating inside itself and I could hear whispers echoed around me of ancient voices.Then suddenly I was standing somewhere else again. A lake stretched endlessly before me, glowing beneath a silver sky while soft wind danced across the water.The dream world again, my breath hitched immediately.“No…”Not again.Fear curled through my chest instantly, the last time I saw this place my mother stabbed me and pain flashed through my memory so sharply I stumbled backward slightly.“Mila.”I froze and slowly, I turned and there she was.My mother stood near the lake exactly the same as before.Beautiful and glowing faintly beneath the silver sky.But this time i saw the sadness immediately and the regret. Tears burned my eyes before I could stop them.“You hurt me,” I whispered.Her face crumpled instantly.“I know.”“You stabbed me.” I screamed at h
Alpha Marcus’s POVThe iron doors shut behind Luna Mila with a deep echo that rolled through the underground halls.And for the first time in years i felt uneasy. Alpha Kings did not survive long by getting scared easily.But there were things older than power and older than kingdoms. Older than wolves themselves.And the Veilborn mark was one of them.I stood there for several seconds after the doors closed, staring at the ancient symbols carved into the stone.The markings had not glowed like that in centuries.Not since.I forced the thought away immediately. The past had no place tonight. The Veil had recognized her instantly which meant the stories were true.And if the stories were true then the war coming toward us would destroy far more than kingdoms.A cold breeze swept through the underground corridor.I exhaled slowly before turning away from the chamber and making my way back upstairs.The palace halls remained quieter now, most nobles having already returned to their roo
Mila’s POV“Mate.”The word echoed across the palace entrance like a thunderclap everything stopped completely.Even the guards lining the stairs looked stunned.Hansel blinked once and then laughed nervously.“…what?”Alpha Marcus stared at her like the world itself had tilted beneath his feet.The air around him shifted strangely, powerful enough that I felt Rina stir uneasily beneath my skin. His eyes never left Hansel’s face.“Mate,” he repeated quietly.Hansel immediately shook her head.“No. No, that’s impossible.”Alpha Marcus took a slow step toward her.“You don’t feel it?”Hansel looked genuinely panicked now as she turned to look at me and I shook my head at her“I don’t feel any bond.”The moment Marcus moved closer again to touch her, a vicious snarl ripped through the air, it was from Conrad.Everyone turned instantly and Conrad stood slightly in front of Hansel now, his shoulders tense, and his eyes glowing faintly gold beneath the palace lights.Marcus stopped immediat
Mila’s POVThe meeting ended heavier than it began.No one said it aloud, but we were all thinking the same thing.Kreda and her own mark and her connection to the cloaked attackers and maybe Bastian.Everything was starting to connect in ways none of us fully understood yet.And somehow, right in the middle of all that chaos we were being summoned by the Alpha King himself.I sat quietly beside Knox in the council chambers while the elders slowly filtered out one after another. Conrad and Caleb stayed behind discussing patrol routes near the entrance while the others waited outside.But my attention remained fixed on the man beside me. Nikal still hadn’t fully stepped back. He sat stiffly beside me like he was physically forcing himself not to pace.I touched his arm gently and immediately those dark eyes shifted toward me.“You’re staring at me ,” he said.“You’re brooding again .”“I am protecting you.”I smiled slightly.“You’ve been protecting nonstop for two days.”“You nearly
Mila’s POVI was sore.In a delicious way.And I was very warm, that was the first thing I felt when I woke up and strong arms wrapped around my waist possessively while a steady heartbeat echoed against my back.Knox or Nikal, I wasn’t so sure.The room was still dim, pale morning light slipping through the curtains in soft silver streaks. Everything smelled like him, cedarwood, smoke, wild forests, and he was my mate.I shifted slightly beneath the blankets, blinking sleep from my eyes.Immediately the arm around my waist tightened and a low growl vibrated behind me.“Good morning to you too.” I told him A rough voice answered near my ear.“You moved.”I turned slightly and stared into his eyes, Nikal was still in control and oddly enough, I wasn’t scared anymore.Nikal watched me carefully.“You’re hurt.”His gaze dropped to the healing wound on my side where I’d been stabbed a little from Kreda.“It’s healing,” I assured him softly.He frowned immediately.As if the injury itself
Knox’s pov The first threads of consciousness pulled me awake in the dark. My room was quiet except for the soft rhythm of Mila’s breathing beside me. Moonlight cut through the half-open blinds, painting silver across her bare skin. She was curled on her side facing me, one leg tangled with mine, the sheet slipped low enough to bare the curve of her waist and the swell of her breast.My cock was already hard and aching, like my body had been waiting for her even in sleep. The memory of earlier, her moans, the way she’d clenched around me, the way she’d begged me to fill her flooded back and turned the ache into a throb. “I need to feel her” Nikal growled “Be careful” I told him and gave him control He rolled toward her, careful at first, then not. I pressed my chest to her back, letting her feel exactly what she did to me.Mila stirred, a sleepy little hum escaping her throat as my hand slid over her hip and cupped her between her thighs. She was still slick from before, warm an
Knox's pov…..The palace halls were quiet when I returned.I didn't like arguing with Mila.My boots echoed softly against the polished stone floor as I walked toward my room. Servants stepped aside respectfully when they saw me, lowering their gazes the way they always did now.Alpha King.The tit
Mila's pov…Kreda was draining and annoying, I almost punched her in the face.I reached the palace gates and pushed it open everywhere was dark already except for the torches of fires lining the place. Guards stood at their usual posts, but none of them stopped me as I walked inside.Some nodded
Mila's pov….I woke up slowly today.Hansel my annoying service maid didn't come to bang in my ears today.I had to wake up or Isobel would have my head.My eyes snapped open.Sunlight poured through the tall windows, turning the pale curtains gold dust motes floated lazily in the air.I groaned s
Mila’s POV…..BANG BANG BANGThe banging on my door sounded like someone was trying to break it down.I jolted awake my heart racing.“Luna! Wake up!”The voice was sharp, impatient, and far too loud for this early morning.I groaned and buried my face in the pillow.Maybe if I ignored them, they
