LOGINOne month later:
“Why so nervous?” Raf asked while rubbing her hand in his. Saraya pouted at his words and stared at him with puppy eyes. “Can’t we delay this official introduction?” Saraya murmured, and Raf sighed.
“Honey Bee, it’s already been almost two years since we met, and now that I’ve marked you, we can’t delay it any longer. We are alre
The atmosphere in the main hall slowly shifted from tension to warmth.After the initial surprise, conversations began to flow again—soft at first, then gradually filled with life. Nicole’s parents settled comfortably among the others, their earlier shock replaced by visible relief and happiness.George, being the second in command to King Basil, was not unfamiliar with the royal lineage. He had heard of Harrison and his legacy, knew of Rafael’s unmatched strength and position. But Phoenix and Miah… they were names that existed more in whispers than reality.They had never been presented openly to the world.The prophecy.The sacrifice.Those secrets had kept them hidden in the shadows for years.So, standing here today—watching his daughter beside Phoenix—George felt both surprise and pride.“I must say,” George said, his voice respectful yet warm, looking toward Phoenix, &ldquo
Phoenix’s room was filled with a soft, comfortable silence.Nicole sat close to him, her head resting lightly on his shoulder, her fingers absentmindedly tracing small patterns over his hand. Phoenix didn’t move—didn’t want to. For the first time in what felt like forever, something inside him felt… calm.Normal.They were talking quietly—about nothing in particular, just small, safe things—when a knock broke the moment.Phoenix frowned slightly, then stood up.“I’ll get it,” he said softly.As soon as he opened the door—“Uncle Phin!”A loud, excited, utterly adorable voice echoed through the room.Phoenix’s entire face lit up.“Here is my Zee!” he exclaimed happily, immediately scooping the little boy into his arms.Nicole turned toward them—And froze.Her eyes softened instantly.T
“Baby, your uncle Phin has found his mate,” Saraya exclaimed, her tone deliberately excited as she tried yet another trick to get Zee down.It worked.Instantly.Vidhant’s pain was forgotten as Zehaan’s grip loosened just a little. His curious eyes widened as he leaned forward.“Uncle Phin… mate?” Zee asked in a confused yet intrigued tone.And that was Saraya’s chance.In one swift motion, she scooped him into her arms.“Got you,” she whispered triumphantly.Zee squealed in delight, completely forgetting his previous mission of torturing Vidhant’s scalp.“Let’
Rafael’s study felt unusually calm.The golden glow of the evening sun filtered through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the polished wooden floor. Papers lay neatly stacked on the table, but Rafael’s attention was nowhere near them. He sat in his chair, elbows resting on his knees, fingers loosely intertwined, his gaze distant—lost somewhere far beyond the walls of the palace.“Rafael… what are you thinking?”Saraya’s soft voice pulled him back.He blinked once, then twice, as if returning from a place only he could see. His eyes found hers, and a small smile curved on his lips—gentle, warm… but not entirely reaching his eyes.“Nothing, Honey Bee,” he said lightly. “You tell me—have you practiced the
“Now… will you both get up,” Rafael said, raising one eyebrow, his tone calm but carrying that unmistakable authority, “or should I lend you a hand?”For a split second, Saraya and Phoenix froze.And then—In less than a heartbeat, both of them scrambled to their feet like guilty children caught stealing sweets, standing straight in front of him with overly tight, extremely fake smiles plastered on their faces.The contrast was so sudden and ridiculous that Nichole couldn’t hold herself back anymore.A burst of laughter escaped her.And then another.Within seconds, she was laughing uncontrollably, her hand clutching her stomach as she bent slightly forward.
“Landon!” Rafael and Miah yelled in unison, stepping forward. Landon, still consumed by his wolf instincts, let out another ear-splitting growl. But Rafael raised his hand calmly, and almost instantly, the massive wolf’s furious energy subsided. In the blink of an eye, Landon shifted back to Phoenix, who slumped weakly to the floor.Before Phoenix could collapse completely, Rafael caught him in his arms and gently lowered him onto the bed. Nichole, still sitting on the floor, watched with wide, wary eyes, unsure how to react to Phoenix’s sudden transformation and the intensity of his emotions. Saraya quickly came forward and extended her hand to Nichole, helping her to stand.Rafael’s gaze shifted between Phoenix and Nichole. The moment he entered the room, he immediately understood the situation: Phoenix’s growl in the study, the protective stance in front of Nichole&m
“Honey Bee,” Raf said and walked towards her. Saraya was gazing at him with accusing eyes.“Don’t talk to me, huh,” Saraya said with an angry pout and stormed out of the study. Alex and Vidhant held their laughter on seeing this.“Shut up,” Raf exclaimed and went behind his Honey Bee.“I’m glad she
Present:-"Rafael," Saraya called him, and he looked down at her face. "Why did you want me to stay apart from you?" Saraya asked.Raf took a deep breath and rested his forehead on hers with closed eyes."I’ll tell you everything, Honey Bee, I promise. I won’t hide anything from you. Just give me s
“Argh, I hate these headaches,” Saraya murmured and turned around. She dug her face into the soft pillow and tried to sleep again while ignoring the shooting pain in her head.“Pain?” something struck her mind, and she got up with a jerk.“Ouch,” she murmured, holding her head in both hands with cl
“So, you are going?” Vidhant asked her, who was packing her bag. Saraya looked up and found him standing at the door of her room with gloomy expressions. Already she was feeling terrible, and now, after seeing Vidhant, she felt worse.“I’m sorry,” Saraya murmured in a guilty tone.“No need, but kee
