LOGIN5 Days Later:-
“Rafael, get up.”
Raf, who was in the deepest sleep possible after an exhausting week, groaned when someone shook him—violently.
“What, Honey Bee? Let me sleep,” he muttered, turning over and dragging a pillow over his head dramatically.
“Rafael,” she insisted, bouncing slightly on the bed. “It’s midnight. Which means my birthday has started!”
That did it.
Raf
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
Mittal Mansion:Saraya rang the doorbell, her hand resting lightly on Raf’s arm. He stood beside her, unusually tense, his eyes flicking nervously to the mansion before them. Years had passed since he had truly met his mother as her so
“Argh,” Raf murmured and held his head with one hand, and with the other rubbed his eyes because it was paining like hell. He opened his eyes after a while and looked around. For a moment, he was confused about finding himself in the room.Sudden
Past continues...“Why are you crying, Mommy?” Soren asked, his small hands trembling as he reached for her, trying to wipe the streams of tears from her face. His voice was filled with confusion and fear.A
Past:-“Soren, Ekansh, Malishka, breakfast is ready!” Aadhira’s cheerful voice echoed from the kitchen, carrying a note of excitement that made the children perk up instantly. Seconds later, the patter of small, hurried feet reached her ears, growing loud
