LOGINArielle I didn’t know when sleep finally caught me that night. I remembered lying on my side with Kael’s arm thrown over my waist like he couldn’t let me go even in his dreams. His breathing was warm on the back of my neck and the room was dim because we left the small lamp on again. I felt safe amd that was why sleep came so fast but the dream did not wait. It grabbed me the moment o drifted under.It was the same field again. That never ending field with pale flowers and a sky that didn’t look real. The air smelled cold like silver water and old stone. And when I looked up she was already there. The woman with the silver eyes. Her hair moved like it was alive and her skin glowed faintly like she was made of light. She stood close enough that I could almost feel her breath on my face.“I don’t want to see you again” I said before I even thought about it. My voice sounded small. “Please don’t come again.”She didn’t smile. Her eyes softened a little like she felt sorry for me but
KaelI hated when my uncle showed up without warning. It always meant he had something to say that I didn’t want to hear. The man stood in the middle of my office like he owned the place. He had this calm way of staring at people that made them feel like they were already guilty of something. I closed the door slowly and tried not to get irritated but it was hard because everything inside me was still restless from the training incident earlier.He didn’t sit. He only folded his arms behind his back and looked around the room like he was searching for ghosts.“You came early” I said while walking to my desk.He didn’t answer that. He just watched me for a moment then looked down like he was testing the floor under him.“Kael I have warned you many times already. This is the last time I will say it with patience.” he said and his voice was flat but heavy. “Please don’t start again. I had a long day.” I rolled my eyes before I could stop myself. “You will have longer days if you cont
Kael The morning was supposed to be simple. I had woken up before the sun like always and just stayed there with Arielle in my arms because that was how I balanced myself these days. My wolf liked having her close almost too much honestly but I couldn’t complain when she always curled into me like she trusted me with her whole life. For the past three months everything had been so calm that I didn’t know how to behave anymore. Her laughter filled the house every single day. The runes on her skin glowed every once in a while but nothing bad happened so we convinced ourselves that maybe things were settling. Maybe the universe was finally giving us peace. I didn’t want to push too hard because she was already carrying our child and she deserved a soft world in her hands.Training was supposed to be smooth too. It always was lately. The pack wolves respected me more now and they didn’t question things like before. Some even joked with me sometimes. But today something was off. The m
ArielleThe past three months felt like I was living inside a soft dream that I was too scared to blink through. Everything had fallen into some kind of gentle routine something warm and quiet that made my chest feel full in a way I never knew before.I would wake up in Kael’s arms almost every morning because he always dragged me close in his sleep. Je never let me wiggle away, not even when the sun was already up and I told him I had class. He would groan and bury his face into my neck like he had every right to keep me there. Sometimes he whispered things like “five more minutes” and sometimes he didn’t even talk, he just held me as if he was scared I would disappear if he loosened his grip for a second. And honestly I did not mind because it made me feel wanted in a way that felt deep. My stomach was rounder now and he always placed his hand on the bump like it was the most precious thing in the entire world. The runes glowed faintly now and then but never loud or painful. Jus
KaelI never imagined a day would come where I would sit on the floor with Arielle beside me helping me clean my weapon like it was some kind of everyday thing couples did but somehow it felt right. She sat so close our knees kept touching and every time her arm brushed mine I felt that warm pull from the bond again. I tried to focus on the blade but I kept staring at her fingers because she looked so serious while wiping the metal. Her face kept scrunching up like she was concentrating too much and I swear the sight almost made me laugh. When I reached to take the cloth from her she looked up at me and asked if she was doing it right and the way she asked it made my chest twist a little because she sounded so soft and curious. I told her she was doing perfect and she smiled. That smile could stop my heart if it wanted.When we finished she stood up to fold the cloth and I told her I would get the maids to handle the clothes and the mess, but she shook her head and said she wanted
Arielle I did not even know I had fallen asleep until the cold rush hit me. It felt like someone poured water straight into my soul and dragged me out of whatever dream I was inside. One moment I was curled against Kael’s chest like I always do now because his warmth makes my bones relax and the next moment the whole room changed. It was empty, too quiet and the air around me felt heavy like it was watching me. I knew instantly it wasn’t real because the colors looked too bright and everything felt too still. My heart started beating fast and I kept turning my head hoping maybe it was another strange dream that would fade if I ignored it but then I saw her again. The woman with the long white hair and silver eyes that looked like the moon when the clouds shift. She stood there like she never left like she had been waiting the whole time for me to close my eyes again.She called me her heir again and the way her voice echoed made me feel small and huge at the same time. I wanted t
