    Fabian's POV. They always said, “No matter what, the crown stays steady.” but it never felt steady to me. Even in moments like this, when everything was supposed to be good and calm it still felt like something I had to carry. We used to believe the kingdom would be at peace once the wars ended. Maybe that was the dream. But standing there after the ceremony, it didn’t feel real and I didn’t feel relieved. The cheering behind us didn’t match how I felt. It was too loud and it didn’t feel like mine. I leaned on the railing, I didn’t know if I was happy or just relieved and the morning light came in. The flags shifted in the wind. Everything looked calm, but my chest still felt heavy. On the surface, it looked like peace.But deep down, I knew better. Something was coming. I turned to Seraphina, she stared at the horizon, quiet. Her eyes were tired, distant—but still beautiful. She knew the fight wasn’t over. The question remained unanswered as I raised my voice, worried about the

My companion, my partner and the woman who had walked this bloody path with me. Still, this battle had yet to be won. From the ceremony to the speeches and promises of prospe

  • Bound To The Ruthless Lycan King    The Full Circle. 

    Seraphina's POV. But now the sun had set, and was casting a light of amber across the kingdom: "A reminder of time. The The distance between us and the kingdom before me was daunting, as we had already made it through war with such speed and skill. Fresh fruit stalls filled the roads, families laughed as they gathered, and the air was filled with the sound of life returning. This moment used to make me anxious. But standing in it now, I felt calm.The fight had been hard but we made it. We won. The kingdom remained burdened by its scars.' Removing past ruins wasn't an easy task.

Yes, the kingdom we were rebuilding, but stone and wood were not the only aspects of rebuilding. It was about the hearts of the people.

Sounds of life returning dominated the streets. People who used to live in fear were now working together, side by side, trying to rebuild something better.But even with all this progress, the pain hadn’t gone.
