Mira’s POV

I didn’t tell Kai right away.

I could’ve. I should’ve. But something inside me whispered to wait. The message in the parchment, the strange coded phrase, and the eerie feeling that came with discovering it—it didn’t sit right with me just yet.

Kai had moved on to another set of scrolls, browsing them idly, unaware that my heart was pounding in my chest.

“I’ll leave you to it,” he said after a moment, giving my shoulder a light squeeze. “I have a strategy session with the general. Don’t stay too long or Damien will come dragging you out.”

I nodded, offering him a small smile. “I won’t.”

Once he was gone, I waited until the heavy oak door creaked shut and the echo of his footsteps vanished down the hall. Then, I took a deep breath and turned back to the shelf. That single parchment had changed everything. If there were more—if there were any additional clues in this room—then I had to find them.

I started from the far wall and worked my way across the chamber. Scrolls on batt

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    A clue

    Mira’s POVThe garden air was thick with the scent of wild blooms. Lilies, peonies, and forget-me-nots swayed in the breeze, their petals fluttering like the wings of butterflies around them.I was taking slow steps through the gravel path, letting my mind wander through the chaos of missing orphans, failed treaties, and a goddess who still hadn’t finished punishing me.I was too deep in thought to notice Kai until he called out.“There you are,” he said, stepping out from behind a tall row of trimmed hedges. His smirk tugged at the edge of his mouth, arms crossed as he leaned casually against the stone archway.“Blackwood’s Queen herself, sneaking into the garden like she doesn’t rule half the mountain.”I blinked, startled out of my spiraling thoughts, then let out a soft laugh. “I needed some air. My head is… full.”“Well, you picked the perfect time,” he said, joining me. “The butterflies are out. They must’ve known you were coming.”We walked together, our pace matching without t

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    The search

    Mira’s POVI stood next to Kai in the courtyard, feeling the evening breeze sweep over us. Though the riot had been quelled, the tension in my limbs hadn’t yet released.I expected rebuke or disappointment, but none came. Instead, Kai placed a firm, encouraging hand on my shoulder. His eyes, soft but unwavering, met mine.“You did well,” he said quietly. “It took courage to act the way you did—bringing everyone together, hearing both sides. Ruling isn’t putting on a show. It’s hearing cries like those of parents whose children were taken. You did that.”Warmth flooded my chest. I’d feared failure. I’d forgotten that mistakes were part of leadership. For a moment, I just let his words settle in—their grace lifting some of my shame.“I—thank you,” I whispered. “But we still need to find the children. And I don’t know where to start without witnesses. That checkpoint… no one was there.”He ran his hand down my arm gently. “Focus not on what’s missing, but on what you do have. What clues

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    The fight

    Mira’s POVThe echoes of chaos hadn’t even had time to settle when I realized the courtroom walls no longer protected me from the turmoil outside.My heartbeat thundered in my chest as I stood before the assembled orphanage workers. Their faces were etched with desperation and confusion—tears streaking their soot-darkened cheeks, fists clenched as though ready to strike.The crowd surged forward, anger fueling their steps, and the din of their protests reverberated through the open door and into the hall where I stood.I swallowed hard. “Please,” I began, voice trembling. But the words didn’t carry over the uproar. Councilwoman Maris leaned down beside me, her voice urgent. “Calm them,” she whispered. “Tell them we’re searching, reassure them.”Reassure them? My mind raced. I had no answers, no strategy, no idea what had happened to their children. How could I promise them a shred of hope when shadowed uncertainty hung heavy over every heartbeat?My breath hitched at the thought, and

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    Falling apart

    Mira’s POVThe room felt like it was spinning. My hands trembled slightly as I clutched the parchment from the guards, my eyes scanning the words again, desperate to find something that could change what I’d just heard. “No witnesses.” “Checkpoint abandoned.” It made no sense.I looked up at the guards. “You’re sure?” I asked again, hoping maybe I’d misheard.“Yes, my Queen,” the captain replied, his voice steady but tinged with concern. “We checked the alleyway and every path leading to the intersection. Not a soul in sight. The checkpoint station had been cleared out—no guards, no signs of struggle. Just… empty.”My heart pounded in my ears. I waved a hand. “Leave me. All of you.”They bowed and left the throne room in silence.I remained seated, my back straight, my thoughts unraveling.How could a street be deserted at midday? How could a checkpoint—a vital security hub—be abandoned without anyone noticing? This wasn’t coincidence. This was organized, methodical… deliberate.I con

  • Mated To My Enemies! Lycan Kings Obsession    Only confusion

    Mira’s POVI stood there, frozen, struggling to believe what I’d just heard. My lips parted, but no words came out. “What did you say?” I finally managed, even though the guard’s words rang clearly in my head.“One of the groups of orphans,” he repeated grimly, “they were ambushed on their way to the nobleman’s estate. The children… they were taken.”“No,” I whispered, shaking my head, as if the act would undo what I was being told. “That’s not possible. There were guards. There were checkpoints. There were plans.”The councilwoman who had just left me earlier came rushing back, her face pale, horror written across her eyes. “It’s true, Your Grace,” she confirmed breathlessly. “We just received word—the entire cavalcade headed toward Councilman Jacob’s manor was intercepted.”My mind reeled.“How?” I asked, voice barely above a whisper. “Where?”“We don’t know the exact details yet,” she said. “The guards are still investigating. The second councilwoman… she was with them.”I blinked.
