"The king is a busy man," Chesmal said as we made our way towards the receiving hall. "There are always people waiting to speak with him. Some come to express their grievances, some bring their disputes for him to settle and council members often have matters they need him to tend to."

I glanced sideways at her, nodding. I understood that much.

In Pyreth, my Father had been a busy man too. No one simply walked into the king's presence because they wished to speak to hi

    RAEGANCicero halted. I didn’t find out why until I trailed his gaze to the courtyard below. A familiar figure was making her way across it. I didn’t have to see the face to know it was my mate.“Is she headed for the training grounds? Cicero asked, voice full of uncertainty.“Yes.”He glanced sideways at me, “You let her train?”I didn’t return his look. My mind instead returned to yesterday, to the way she had looked at me when I told her she was my mate, like the very idea made her feel repelled.As if that wasn’t enough, she had denied it immediately.“I’m not your mate.” The words had reverberated in my mind the entire day and even at night, when I had been jolted awake by the dream that haunted me, I couldn’t help recalling her words.“I’m not your mate.”“Raegan, is everything alright?”Cicero’s concern-filled voice jolted me back to reality. I shook my head and turned my gaze to him, “Yes. She asked to train.”“And you agreed? Silence was the answer I gave him but Cicero knew

    MAELISHe hadn’t even listened to my reason. He didn’t even ask before he expressed his refusal.“I can’t join your pack?” I echoed, still befuddled and bewildered by his refusal.Why? What qualifications did I lack? He hadn’t even asked me anything.It wasn’t like I would dive into a sob story about how I’d been betrayed by my mate, Father and sister and how I had lost my child to them too and how I had been forced out of my home or how I had been forced to decide to brave the unforgiving territory of the northern lands but still, I expected to be asked why.Yet, Raegan didn't even blink twice before rejecting me. He didn’t look like he had the intention to question me about anything either.His reaction or the otherwise lack of it left me bewildered and it took a moment for me to snap out of it.My face pulled tight into a frown. “I’m not asking you to just let me in without following due procedures. I can go through any trial you want me to and if it’s proof of my goodwill you need

    Chapter 18 MAELIS' "The king is a busy man," Chesmal said as we made our way towards the receiving hall. "There are always people waiting to speak with him. Some come to express their grievances, some bring their disputes for him to settle and council members often have matters they need him to tend to." I glanced sideways at her, nodding. I understood that much. In Pyreth, my Father had been a busy man too. No one simply walked into the king's presence because they wished to speak to him. They sent appeals first, sometimes several of them before they were finally granted audience to speak with him. Other times, they would have to wait weeks before receiving a response and even then, an audience with my father was never guaranteed. Chesmal however reassured me that an audience with Raegan was and that was another way in which Eryndor surprised me. To have a king so willing to take charge of his people's affairs closely told me how much he valued them. "I still think it'

    RAEGAN It always began the same. At least fifty times now, I’ve stood on these grounds, my vision obscured by a dense white fog. Snow blanketing my vision, and chilling my heated skin. No, it was fur now. The wolf had taken control and I was somewhere deep inside of him, watching through his lens and trying to figure out why goosebumps were prickling down my arm and spine. In this illusion, my wolf was always restless. Keeping my grip on him was always a losing battle I fought and lost. Like a length of disintegrating rope, my restraint frayed apart. Now, the animal stood in my place and it took a long while for the man trapped inside him to realise what he had done. The fog lifted and the sun began to shine ten times harder. Its sudden harsh rays made my wolf howl and lower his snout, seeking the chill of the snow around us. However, where I expected pearly white, there was crimson. It was as though blood had fallen from the sky and bathed the ground. I took a step

    MAELISSuddenly, a tall shadow fell beside me, and I felt a strange presence settle at my side.I turned immediately, my fingers tightening around the fabric of my dress when I found an unfamiliar man standing beside me.He was tall, though not nearly as imposing as Raegan, with broad shoulders covered by a thick dark fur and streaks of silver running through his otherwise dark hair.There was something about him that made it difficult to look away. Perhaps it was the ease with which he carried himself or the faint smile resting on his lips despite the bustle around us.His gaze shifted from me to the bread stall and then back to me.“I didn’t know breads could be so interesting.”My brows pulled together.“What?”Despite myself, I looked at the loaves again and a small chuckle escaped him.“I was beginning to wonder if you intended to eat it with your eyes.”My lips twitched but I answered still, “I was only looking.”“Of course.” The man nodded.There was amusement in his voice, but

    MAELIS The days rolled by quickly. Life in Eryndor had settled into a quiet calm and Heira had been right about one thing. Resting helped. Maybe not in the way she meant but the days spent in solitude helped me think of where I had gone wrong, and the things I could have done differently. If I hadn’t been so submissive and if I hadn’t been so hasty in falling for Nolan, none of what happened would have. I wouldn’t have been content being a mere wife to him and I would have stood a chance against Serena in the end. As the days passed, I had a rethink on my decision to remain in Eryndor and each time I thought it over, I came to the same conclusion. I was going to stay. I would train, become stronger then return to Pyreth to make Serina pay for all that she had taken from me. My only companion all these while was Chesmal, who came frequently to deliver clothes, food and light the fireplace before the wood it contained depleted. Heira came every morning without fai
