Arria POV

A few days later.

We had been awake for a long time. Still, no words came.

I refused to let go of him, and he just pulled me closer.

“I don’t want it to be true,” I said eventually.

“I know.”

“But you are usually right.”

He didn’t answer.

“I am afraid,” I forced the words out. “Of being different again. Of being pushed into something I don’t want.”

“Am I different for you because I am the king?”

I considered my answer.

“Yes… in a way,” I said. “You have duties. You can slip

    🌘 Fenrir POV “They betrayed me too,” she said softly. “But I still love them. That is what I want my rose to learn.” I said nothing. There was nothing to say. The things she described were too unfamiliar to me. A family. A real one. Natural closeness. Affection. Care. No hundreds of soldiers standing between a child and the rest of the world. No guarded corridors and whispers about power. Or palace walls built to protect me as much as to contain me. Just a little girl with red hair caught by the wind, green eyes full of trust, and a broken castle that mattered enough to make her cry. I had seen a glimpse of that girl. Just once. When she stomped her foot at me. The sheer offense in her eyes. The way she had acted on impulse, without caring what I would see or how I would react. My gaze focused back on her. Arria was curled against me, warm and soft, but still too cautious in ways that made my wolf restless. She had learned to fold herself small. To measure her words.

    🍃 Arria POV “We left her there as agreed,” Stone reported. “The border patrols chased after us. We could not stay behind and check what happened after we ran into the woods.” “She will be fine.” Fenrir’s conviction made my chest loosen a little. The worry was still etched deep in my heart, but it was bearable now. Fenrir turned toward Greg. “Keep an eye on the checkpoint. We will get a letter in three days.” He nodded once. “Tomorrow. Ten o’clock. Here.” Stone and Greg said goodbye and left the house. Silence settled for a moment. Too many things were hanging by a thread. Too many things could go wrong. Too many people—important people—were in danger. We were planning, preparing, and betting on the ones we trusted, but in the end, it still might not be enough. “Walk?” Fenrir asked. “Sure.” I slipped my hand into his. The difference in size was obvious. And simply perfect. His warmth seeped into me, and a small exhale left me. Everywhere, I thought. I would f

    🦊 Melanie POV I ran as if possessed—branches tearing at my face and hands, my bare feet hurting every time I stepped on a sharp stone. Howls followed me from behind. My pursuers were getting closer every second, but I did not look back. I needed to reach the clearing before they got to me. So I ran harder, faster, pushing my aching body beyond its limits. But it did not really matter—I was in human form, and they were wolves. Big. Dark. Hunting. Me. My heart was beating so loudly that I could not even register the sounds around me anymore. Then it happened—I was out of the forest, and the border of the nearest pack was almost within reach. I screamed for help. No one came forward. No one was going to save me. I felt the breath of the wolf behind me, just inches from my neck. My time was up. Suddenly—crash. Hard. A massive wolf’s body slammed into another. I came to a full stop. Didn’t turn around. Couldn’t. I was frozen in place, caught in the scent that hit me. I

    Arria POV“Are we doing it here?” I asked him, “Now?”“Mhm.”Fenrir didn't like my decision to try to heal my thorn.But now out of nowhere he was so ready to help. What was going on?“Okay, but let Alaric speak for himself,” I believe his instincts are what can help understand it better.”He studied me for a moment.Then, without another word from him, Alaric's powerful voice filled the room.“Hello, mate.”It was always amusing to watch how his face changed when Alaric came forward.Instead of that ever present mask of control, every muscle was coming to life.Something warm and roguish at the same time.“Hello, to you too, mate.”I smiled at him.“Beautiful.”Simply.Firmly.A blush started creeping up my neck.His eyes followed the trail that the warm left behind. The corner of his mouth pulled up slightly. A small smile. A satisfaction.Expressions that Fenrir protected like his life depended on it.Alaric felt my gaze.His brow shot up.One more move that suited his face perfec

    🌘 Fenrir POV It was inevitable. The war. But so was Arria becoming what she had been born to be. A queen. A symbol of hope. A heart capable of uniting the realm. Not long ago, she had said fate would summon me. She had been wrong. It was her. And there was nothing left that could stop it. If anything, the harder Vaerion pushed, the more she grew into exactly what the realm needed. "People are wondering why the king is hunting a seemingly weak she-wolf so relentlessly," Greg said, snapping me from my thoughts. "We'll give them an answer. Maybe she isn't weak. Maybe she's a threat to him." "That would make them reach the conclusion on their own," Stone agreed. "And that's good. There is nothing people believe a king would fear more than someone stronger than him." "I'm not powerful," Arria cut in. "First, they don't know that," Stone replied. "Second, you are." "You're powerful enough not to bend before Fenrir," Martha added. "We were all in this room when Alaric made t

    🍃 Arria POV I woke abruptly. The place beside me was empty and the room was too bright. I exhaled. I was late for training—two hours, maybe more. There was no point rushing now, so I relaxed back against the pillow. Memories from yesterday invaded my mind. I let them. Aron was still somehow the bad wolf in the story. But he had received the forgiveness of the Moon Goddess, sealed by a second chance mate. And Melanie was going there tomorrow—to the pack where I was born and the man who had broken me. A deep worry about her sat heavily behind my ribs. But I couldn't exactly blame her for the risk she was about to take. I was marked by the cursed king after all. That thought made something else surface. A small smile rose on my face. I had been his very first kiss. Warmth spread everywhere. Slowly. Irreversible. I was falling for him. Or maybe I had already fallen. I had nothing to compare it to. I shook my head in an attempt to clear my mind. There was a war wa
