ログインNatalia's POVBy the time we settled into the dining room, the entire mansion had become quiet again.The servants moved around silently, placing steaming dishes one after another on the long dining table. The rich aroma of freshly prepared food quickly filled the room, making it feel warm and welcoming.Dominic had personally instructed the mansion cook to prepare a proper dinner for all of us.According to him, none of us had eaten a decent meal in days, especially after everything that had happened.To my surprise, he had also insisted that Shantel join us at the dining table instead of eating separately in the servants' quarters.At first, Shantel refused.She had stood near the doorway with both hands clasped together, insisting that it was improper for a maid to dine with her future Luna and the Alpha Commander.Dominic had simply looked at her before saying in his usual calm voice that it was an order.There had been no room for arguments after that.Now the three of us sat tog
Natalia's POVBy the time evening settled over the border camp, the sky had turned into beautiful shades of orange and purple.The cool breeze carried the scent of the forest through the camp as warriors finished changing shifts and healers packed away the herbs they no longer needed. The atmosphere was far calmer than it had been earlier in the day.I stood beside Dominic near the entrance of the camp while waiting for the vehicles from the estate because we were returning back to the estate.A few minutes later, the familiar sound of engines echoed through the quiet surroundings.Two black SUVs slowly drove through the entrance of the camp before coming to a smooth stop a few feet away from us.The driver's door of the first SUV opened, and a young man stepped out.He could not have been older than twenty four. His bright blue eyes stood out against his lightly tanned skin, and a scattering of freckles rested across the bridge of his nose. Dressed neatly in the estate driver's unifo
Natalia's POVThe fresh afternoon breeze brushed against my face the moment I stepped outside, carrying with it the scent of pine trees, damp earth, and the distant river flowing beyond the border camp. Warriors continued moving around the campsite, each occupied with one duty or another. For the first time since I heard Shantel’s condition from Dominic, I felt the heavy burden on my chest becoming lighter.I began looking around the camp, searching for Dominic.He was nowhere near the medical tents.Neither was he standing beside Azrael or Walker, who were discussing something with a few warriors near the entrance of the camp.My eyes wandered farther until I finally spotted him.He stood near the edge of the forest, several feet away from everyone else.His broad back faced the camp while his attention remained fixed on the thick trees before him.His hands rested behind him, and although he stood perfectly still, something about his posture told me his mind was elsewhere.A small
Natalia's POVI slowly pulled away from the embrace, though I kept both of my hands resting on Shantel's shoulders.For a long moment, neither of us spoke. We simply looked at one another as though trying to convince ourselves that this was real.Only a short while ago, I had feared I would never hear her voice again. Now she was sitting before me, alive and breathing.Tears continued streaming down her cheeks, and despite wiping them away several times, they refused to stop falling."I can't believe you are alive." Her voice trembled with every word."They made me believe you were dead."A painful lump formed in my throat as I listened quietly."Even the driver's body..." She swallowed hard before continuing."It had been gutted open before they dragged me away."Her breathing became uneven as the memories returned."They took me somewhere deep inside the forest. I wanted to look for you. I truly did." She lowered her head. "But I could barely move. The accident had already left me t
Dominic's POVRelief washed over me so suddenly that I almost forgot how to breathe.For several long moments, I simply stood where I was, staring at Shantel as though I feared the slightest movement would break whatever miracle had just happened.Only a few seconds ago, she had been lying helplessly on the bed, her body burning with fever while her lips muttered words none of us could understand.Now she was breathing normally.The violent trembling had completely stopped.The strange sweat covering her face had disappeared almost as quickly as it had come.It was as though whatever had been tormenting her had vanished the very moment Natalia gave her the healing potion.A soft sneeze escaped Shantel once more before she blinked repeatedly, trying to adjust to the light inside the tent.Her confused gaze slowly wandered around the room until it finally settled on Natalia."My Lady..."Her voice sounded dry and weak.She frowned slightly as though trying to remember something.Then he
Chapter 65Inside Crystal Moon Pack.Six days had passed since Marcus and the nineteen warriors of Moonshine Pack secretly entered Crystal Moon Pack.The disguise potion had worked exactly as Shantel had promised. It had completely altered their appearance and masked their scents, allowing them to move among the rogues without raising a single suspicion. To everyone within Crystal Moon Pack, they were simply a group of wandering outcasts who had come looking for a place to live.During those six days, Marcus had carefully earned the trust of those around him.He never acted too eager, nor did he remain distant. He spoke only when necessary, fought fiercely whenever he was challenged, and carried himself with the confidence of someone who had survived countless battles. His calm nature, combined with his impressive combat skills, soon caught the attention of many rogues within the camp.Among them was Jamie, the second in command to Dark Lord.Jamie had taken a particular liking to Marc
Natalia's Pov “Samantha!”I watched Shane rush forward, dropping beside her. His hands moved quickly over her, checking her breathing, his face filled with so much panic I had never seen before—at least, not for me.My lips curved faintly, though there was no warmth in the expression.When Shane l
Natalia's Pov “That’s fine.” I gave a small nod. “When the day comes, the priest will announce my chosen husband. Everyone will know who I choose.”Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Samantha’s grip tighten around her fork, her anger barely hidden.A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips as
Natalia's Pov A sharp pull dragged me out of endless darkness, and my eyes flew open as air rushed violently into my lungs like I had been drowning.I gasped hard, my chest heaving uncontrollably.For a moment, I couldn’t move—couldn’t even think.I simply lay there staring blankly at the ceiling
