šŸƒ Arria POV

It was dark outside already.

But we had done it—we had finished all the required documents, and now they were lying on Fenrir’s desk, waiting for his final approval.

We had all agreed that my name would stay out of this for now. That would give us time until the actual meeting at the palace to decide how to present me, and it would keep me hidden if they were searching for me specifically.

Now I had been hiding under the shower for more than thirty minutes because I did not want to

  • Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 111. EngravedĀ 

    🌘 Fenrir POV I held her. One arm locked around her waist. One hand buried in her hair. Her face was pressed into my throat and her body tucked tightly against mine. For a moment, I let both of us just breathe. Alaric was not back. He was still with her. But I had heard what the shadows whispered to torture her. That old poison—that she was not good enough—was trying to crawl back through something as sacred as claiming her own mate. And by the way her body trembled, I realized she had accepted the possibility of that lie being true. I was livid. My grip tightened before I could stop it. ā€œI am fine,ā€ she whispered. But of course she was. And I was harmless. I moved. Fast enough to startle her. Careful enough not to hurt her. One moment she was pressed to my side. The next, she was beneath me, caged between my arms and legs, her red hair spread across the pillow, her wide green eyes fixed on my face. Her breath caught. Mine did too. For a different reason. She

  • Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 110. The Outcome

    šŸƒ Arria POV I woke slowly. Hazily. Drifting out of a beautiful dream about blue flowers and a man of steel protecting them with his life. Not just any man—my mate. A soft smile spread over my face. Fenrir had that terrifying ability to make me fall for him a little more every single day. I snuggled closer and brushed my nose over his neck, taking in his scent. It was addictive. And I was sleepy. So when my fingers started drawing lazy patterns over his back, moving lower and lower, it had nothing to do with a conscious decision. It was just the need to feel him. Unhurriedly, I reached the hem of his shirt and pulled it up. At first, it was barely a touch. A whisper of my fingertips over him. But his skin was warm and taut over muscle, and he did not stir, so my palm flattened on his back. Mine. The thought settled deep inside me, and I resumed my absentminded exploration of the hard lines beneath his skin. A work of art. That was what he was. I had seen h

    šŸƒ Arria POV ā€œThen I will have to keep proving myself worthy of such sacrifice,ā€ he said, warmth hidden under his usual calm. ā€œLet’s go to the meadow for a late lunch, and we will do the work later.ā€ ā€œAre you sure we have time for this?ā€ He just gave me his usual I-know-what-I-am-talking-about look. ā€œOkay then.ā€ We took one of the baskets with food I had been given and some water, and we left the house. The walk was easy. We did not talk about poisons or reconstruction. He asked about my day at school, and I told him about it and about one specific child who had proudly shown me a seedling planted upside down and insisted it was simply ā€œthinking differently.ā€ Fenrir’s mouth twitched a few times, but he kept silent and listened with interest. ā€œBy the end, he had almost convinced me it was possible,ā€ I finished with a smile just before we entered the meadow. Fenrir walked straight toward the far end, where we usually settled in—under the patterned shade of one particular sycam

    šŸƒ Arria POV I saw the pile of folders awaiting Fenrir’s review and signature while he was carrying me upstairs. So, after taking a bath, I went downstairs to help him with the paperwork. He was hunched over the kitchen table, working. It was obvious he was uncomfortable there, but he kept doing it anyway. I did not need to ask why—he had started coming the day after I told him his office did not have enough space for both of us and that I would be working from here. It warmed my heart to know he preferred my presence over the comfort of his own working space, but it could not go on like this any longer. I stepped behind the chair he was sitting on and slipped my hands around his neck and over his chest. ā€œWe should think of another way,ā€ I told him. ā€œThe table is not suitable for someone as big as you.ā€ He signed the page he was reading, put everything down, and placed his warm palms over my arms. ā€œIt took you a whole week to take pity on me,ā€ he said matter-of-factly. I sti
