로그인Iris’s POVThe full moon banquet filled Blackthorne’s main courtyard with leaders from every allied pack. Silver banners hung from the stone walls, and hundreds of wolves waited below the raised platform. Kristian stood beside me in formal black, wearing the crimson insignia of the Wolf King.“Are you ready?” Kristian asked. “I have faced fire and survived,” I replied. “I should be able to face a crowd.” Kristian offered me his hand. “You will not face them alone,” he said.We stepped onto the platform together. The courtyard fell silent before Kristian even raised his hand. His authority reached every corner without effort.“Blackthorne has waited for a Luna who understands strength, sacrifice, and duty,” Kristian declared. “Iris has shown all three. She is my chosen mate, but tonight, the decision remains hers.”He turned toward me and lowered his head, offering respect before the entire gathering. “Iris, will you stand beside me as Blackthorne’s Luna?” Kristian asked.I looked ove
Jade’s POVBy the time Blackthorne identified me as the person behind the fire, I had already abandoned my villa. Kristian’s warriors searched every property connected to my family, but they found empty rooms and discarded clothes. I had prepared another hiding place long before Iris was carried from the flames.The underground house belonged to a man who called himself Elder Aldric. I found his name among the forbidden contacts my uncle had warned me about. He was said to possess powers the Southern Council had outlawed generations ago.He met me in a stone room beneath an abandoned church. His hair was white, and deep lines covered his face, but his eyes looked too clear for an old man.“The fire failed,” Elder Aldric said. “I warned you t
Iris’s POVKristian returned to the hospital before sunset. I heard his steps outside my room, followed by the guards greeting him. The door opened, and he entered still wearing the clothes he had worn at the eastern border. Dirt marked his boots, and a shallow cut crossed one side of his neck.His attention settled on me. “You are awake,” Kristian said. He crossed the room and stopped beside my bed. I had seen him face enemies without hesitation, yet his hand moved carefully when he touched my cheek, as though he needed to confirm that I was real.“The doctor said you left because the border was attacked,” I told him. “You should have treated that cut before coming here.”“It can wait,” Kristian replied. “You c
Kristian's POVThe sunrise had barely started when my phone vibrated. I looked down and answered immediately."What is it?" I asked."Alpha." His voice was tense. "Our eastern border has been attacked."I straightened in the chair beside Iris's hospital bed."Who?" I asked."A coalition of rogue wolves. They crossed the river around dawn, but we've already mobilized the warriors."I ended the call and looked toward the hospital bed. Iris still slept peacefully. Her breathing had become much steadier over the last two days. The doctor had said she could wake up at any time.I whispered quietly. "I'll be back."
Iris's POVI slowly opened my eyes, blinking several times as sunlight streamed through the large hospital window.My head felt heavy. "...Where am I?"The faint smell of medicine answered before anyone else could. I was clearly at the hospital.The next minute, memories flooded back. The fire, smoke and my apartment collapsing around me."Kristian..." I whispered unconsciously.The door immediately opened and a doctor hurried inside, followed by two nurses."Miss Iris!" His face lit up. "You're awake!"Within moments, several medical staff surrounded my bed. One nurse checked my pulse and another examined my ey
Benjamin's POVThe movie playing across the enormous television had reached its climax. Normally, I would have been paying attention. Tonight, I wasn't.I sat silently on the leather sofa inside Jade's private villa, absentmindedly swirling the glass of wine in my hand.Across from me, Jade appeared unusually cheerful. She laughed at the movie and commented on nearly every scene.Yet, something about her behavior felt forced. Almost as if she was trying too hard."Benjamin." She smiled sweetly. "You're not even watching.""I've had a long day." I said.She nodded sympathetically. "The council meeting?""Yes."
