šŸƒ Arria POV

I woke slowly.

Leisurely.

The room was beginning to brighten with the first pale light of morning, but I was warm, tucked safely against Fenrir.

For a while, I didn’t move at all.

Just like every other morning, the steady beat of his heart beneath me, his scent, and the weight of his arm around my waist took over every one of my senses.

Safe.

Warm.

Completely content.

'It really is nice.'

I startled.

Only for a second.

Then everything that had happened yesterday came rushing back.

Sorry for the little break between updates. I’ve been sick and needed a few days to recover, but I’m feeling better now. I hope you enjoy the new chapter. ā¤ļø

    🦊 Melanie POVI slammed the bond shut.I couldn’t take another feeling, another thought, another glimpse of something Aron had kept buried beneath that impossible calm.Not now.I didn’t know what to say, so I turned back toward the road and started walking.Aron didn’t ask a thing.Didn’t push.Simply fell into step beside me and walked home in silence.By the time we reached the house, I had convinced myself that work would help.It usually did.The documents I hadn’t finished reviewing about the distribution of medicines were still waiting for me on the table.I sat down, opened the first one, and began reading.But by the time I reached the end of the first page, I hadn’t absorbed a single sentence.My thoughts kept circling back.Again.And again.To everything I had felt through Aron.To everything I had refused to see before.Since the day the court had found him not guilty, Aron had changed the way he treated me.And I...I hadn’t.Not at all.The shared dinners hadn’t matter

    🦊 Melanie POVAron finished presenting the plan for protecting the civilians in case part of the enemy forces attempted some kind of diversion.No one had anything else to add.No objections.No corrections.Perfect.I hated how easily the word came to mind nowadays.ā€œDismissed.ā€Fenrir ended the meeting with his usual lack of ceremony.Chairs scraped against the floor.Conversation rose in small clusters as people began filing out of the room.I stayed in my place, waiting for Arria.We hadn’t had a chance to talk properly since they had awakened her wolf, and everything I knew had come secondhand from others.Aron didn’t move either.I turned my head and gave him a critical look.I wanted some time alone with Arria.Alone being the important part.Ever since Aron had returned from his so-called sparring session with Fenrir, he had been attached to me like a shadow.If I went to the school, he walked me there, and when I came out through the gates later, he was already waiting for m

    šŸƒ Arria POVSeven days.That was all we had left until the full moon.Until the elven invasion.Until the war that would decide the fate of our realm.ā€œWhy don’t we attack the palace before the full moon?ā€ one of the Alphas around the table asked.ā€œIt would be easier to win without the elves supporting Vaerion and the King, wouldn’t it?ā€ another chimed in.ā€œIt makes sense,ā€ several more agreed.ā€œDivide the enemy and defeat one group after another.ā€A wave of small, approving nods moved around the table.ā€œA prophecy was made a little over a month ago,ā€ I told them. ā€œIt stated that on the full moon, the world shall burn.ā€Uneasiness moved through the room.Several expressions tightened.Then one of the Alphas frowned.ā€œA prophecy? Really? By whom? Werewolves don’t have prophets.ā€I turned my head toward him.ā€œI see you already know the answer. It was made by an elf,ā€ I pointed out. ā€œSo what exactly are you implying?ā€He shifted uncomfortably beneath my scrutinizing gaze.ā€œIt’s just tha

    šŸƒ Arria POVFenrir took a sharp turn halfway down the corridor and pushed open the door to his office instead of carrying me to our bedroom.'Absolutely not,' Fiona said, thoroughly offended.Before I could decide whether I was irritated too or simply amused by her outrage, he set me down on the edge of his desk and stepped away.Then he crossed to one of the cabinets, opened it, crouched in front of a lower drawer, and began pulling things out with maddening calm.ā€œWhat are you doing?ā€ I asked, still a little breathless from the way he had just carried me here.Fenrir didn’t answer immediately.'He kissed us half senseless, carried us off like prey, and then brought us to the office?'I laughed despite myself.'If he gives you work, I am going to—'What?Scream through the mindlink?Manifest?Go on. Tell me.'You! You...'I shook my head indulgently.'You are not supposed to be on their side.'It is all our side.You are just dragging out the inevitable.And just so you know, your s

    šŸƒ Arria POVI ducked beneath Fenrir’s fist and immediately turned into another attack.He wasn’t there anymore.Of course.My own punch cut through empty air, and I barely managed to twist away before his hand came toward my shoulder from the side.'This is ridiculous,' Fiona complained.I bit back a smile.I warned you.I threw another sequence.Fenrir blocked the first strike, stepped effortlessly out of range of the second, and made me miss the third altogether.Again.Not once had I managed to touch him.Not properly.And Fiona was getting increasingly furious about it.Not that the morning had started much better for her.After Fenrir had kissed me until I was breathless, thoroughly distracted, and all needy, he had simply stopped.Just like that."If Fiona doesn't want to speak with me, then we'd better spar instead of... this," Alaric had stated while pulling me out of bed and toward the door.Apparently, having a wolf now meant I had officially lost every excuse not to join h

    🌘 Fenrir POVAre you really going to sulk instead of doing something about the situation? I asked Alaric.'I am not sulking.'Sure.A low growl rumbled through him.The curse was still burning inside us, waiting for the slightest opportunity to overpower us.The way Fiona had unceremoniously thrown Alaric out of Arria’s mind would have unleashed it on the spot if Arria hadn’t fainted.The moment her body swayed, Alaric's focus had snapped back to her.Away from rage.And now that Arria had finally woken up and explained Fiona’s reasoning to us, Alaric seemed defeated in a way I had never thought possible.He was the unstoppable force everyone considered unbeatable.I had always thought of him the same way.Until now.We don’t deserve her if you’re planning to give up on her so easily, I told him.'Giving up?' His voice sharpened. 'Fiona’s assumption is most likely correct. I am going to kill the mate I marked willingly simply because she is equal to me—or stronger than me—in rank.'Y

The courtyard walls trapped the silence, pressing it down over all of us. I wanted to scream. To tell them how unfair it all was. How none of it had ev

    5 days later When I arrived, the yard was empty. The laughter that usually greeted me was gone. Inside, the children were sitting in rows behind desks while an instructor stood in front of the room. ā€œExtra lessons,ā€ one of the caretakers explained when she noticed me standing by the door. ā€œThe
