Born to shine Chapter 87. Let go
🍃 Arria POV They took the hint and left the moment I finished talking. “You are ordering them now?” Fenrir asked. I did not answer. Instead, I slipped my arm up his chest and over his shoulder until I had a hold on him. I pulled myself into his lap with my knees on both sides of his legs. His fingers twitched, but he let his hands stay relaxed on the sofa. Fine. My gaze moved up his arm, over his shoulder, and landed on his neck. It was flawless again, without a trace of the mark I had given him. I tilted my head slightly, considering whether to make him a new one or if the first had been pathetic enough. “I liked it while it lasted,” he said, his voice steady. Before I had to decide what to do with that information, he tilted his head slightly. The invitation was clear. And I would not refuse him. Or myself. I leaned in, my cheek brushing his. He stilled, and a small smile rose to my lips. The anger had made me bold, but his reaction to me made me bolder. I wanted t
Born to shine 86. Present
🍃 Arria POV Greg’s mouth tightened. He had probably already seen more than ten different ways to make Melanie’s presence there work in our favor. Ways to help her strengthen her position inside Oak Crest. But he kept it to himself. “Where does the loyalty of those thirteen packs lie?” Fenrir asked. “Practical,” Greg answered. “Not emotional.” Fenrir gave a slow nod. “Good. Practical loyalty is easier to predict.” Martha’s fingers tapped once against the table. “If we pressure them, we make ourselves look like the threat.” “We won’t,” Fenrir said. “We don’t threaten supply lines.” My breath caught. I had seen too many decisions made regardless of what they cost other packs. Not Fenrir. He named the dependence without turning it into a threat. “We strengthen them,” he continued. “We do not tell the communities that they need us. They already know that. We simply make it impossible for them to forget it, or underestimate our words.”Judging by Stone’s expression, he was a

🍃 Arria POV“Less good,” he said.The water was running in the shower.The meeting at ten was in less than twenty minutes now.He had said everything.It had to be everything, because he was silent now.But he did not move. Did not step back. Did not lean in.He only held my gaze in a way that made my heart thump faster in my chest.Warmth spread under my skin.For a moment, I was sure he would kiss me.But instead, he took one sharp breath and retreated, leaving the bathroom without a word.I stayed there, my head empty and my heart full.Slowly, reality came back.The water was still running, and I was still sitting on the sink countertop.I slipped down unsteadily until my feet touched the floor, then pulled my clothes off.My reflection caught me in the mirror.My skin was flushed. The braid I had made that morning was barely recognizable anymore. But that was not what made me go still.It was my eyes.They were shining.Not the dull green they had become after Aron entered my li

🍃 Arria POV “Come on, Arria,” Greg said. “You are faster than this.” “I could two hours ago,” I breathed out, never breaking the series of evasive steps. “Now I can’t feel my legs or my arms.” He didn’t slow down. Of course he did not. I kept retreating, shifting my weight from one foot to the other, turning my shoulders just enough to avoid the next strike. Greg was not trying to hit me hard. He was trying to make me fail. And I was very close to giving him the satisfaction. My heel touched the wall. I realized it a heartbeat too late. Greg’s fist came forward and landed right beside my head, cracking into the plaster hard enough to send dust and tiny white pieces raining down over my shoulder. I froze. Then I placed one hand against his chest and pushed. Greg stepped back at once. I slid down the wall and landed on the floor, breathing like I had run across half the realm. “You are dismissed, Your Royal Cruelty.” Greg laughed. “I’ll take that as a compliment.
Born to shine 83. Bedtime
🌘 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

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 studi
Born to shine 79. Summoned
🌘 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
Born to shine 78. Flames
🍃 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 s
Born to shine 77. Chains
🍃 Arria POV I lay awake in bed, staring into the darkness. The tension from the meeting with Aron had lessened, but it hadn't gone away. All the way home, I had fought to keep my mind blank. I didn't need any more what-ifs. And then Melanie had shattered the one that mattered most— Fenrir h
