It shouldn’t be surprising that everyone knows who the Queen Mother is by now, but what surprised me was how gently she held Liora. Her voice came out calm but playful as she asked, “And where are you going, little one?”She tilted her head a bit and added, “Running away like a rat?” then turned her eyes toward me.I quickly bowed to greet her and stepped forward to take Liora, but she gave me a sharp look that made me stop in my tracks. I looked back at Derek, unsure what to do, but his eyes met mine with that calm, steady look that told me it’s fine.The Queen Mother smiled faintly. “I didn’t bite,” she said, her tone light, and a few people around us laughed softly.Well, no one should blame me if I still think she does bite.Liora looked up at her with those big innocent eyes. “Are you my grandma that my cousin told me about?” she asked.For a moment, everyone went quiet. I even had to blink twice. Cousin? She was already calling Phoebe her c

NORA’S POVThis will be the third time the makeup artist is adding a final touch to my face because the makeup has been sitting there for almost two hours now, and the ceremony will start in about fifty-two minutes.It’s finally our mating ceremony.Yes, Derek didn’t waste time on it. It was fixed barely a week after our return.And the reason this makeup has been melting on my face since morning is because Lyra took full charge of my wedding dress. She refused to let me see it until today, saying, “The queen deserves to be surprised.”I had begged, pleaded, and even tried to sneak a peek yesterday, but she guarded that dress like it was made of gold.The door suddenly opened, and we all turned, thinking it was finally Lyra, but it was Maya. Even my little bridesmaids—Liora and Phoebe—were already tired of waiting for her.Maya walked in carrying a small box of accessories. “You look nervous,” she said with a teasing smile.“I’m not nervous,” I said,

NORA’S POV“I’m sorry,” Derek repeated, his voice low and rough. He covered his face with one hand, still staring at the ceiling for a while before letting out a deep breath. Then he sat up, looking like someone who was trying to gather all the courage left in him to face something long buried.I knew he wanted to talk about what happened six years ago.He reached for my hands and held them, his palms warm but slightly shaking. I looked at him, and in that moment, I saw the man who had carried too much for too long. His jaw was tight, his shoulders tense, but his eyes told me everything—guilt, regret, and exhaustion.“I don’t even know where to start,” he said quietly. His voice was rough, like it hurt to speak. “I betrayed our bond out of carelessness.”My chest tightened hearing that. I knew he was talking about Ariana. But truth be told, I didn’t leave only because of her. I left because I didn’t want his people turning against him because of me, not afte

NORA POVJust as expected, Dorcas didn’t even say much. She just looked at me and said I should be patient. That was all. I didn’t even know what to think. Before I could say anything, she had already walked off.After some minutes, Derek came to get me. We entered a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Lyra and Gerrick left with Maya and Mira in another one.Now that it’s just me and him, I seriously don’t know how to react. I’m so nervous for no reason that I don’t even know where to put my hands. Maybe I’m not even nervous, maybe it’s just how everything suddenly happened and no one is explaining anything. I looked at Derek as he passed a message to one of the guards through the car window before he aggressively loosened his tie. The car started moving and I looked at him again, expecting him to say something, but he didn’t.He just unbuttoned the top of his shirt, and that’s when I saw a tattoo of my name on his chest. He didn’t have that before. My heart just stopped for a seco

NORA POVEverywhere went silent, but I could feel every single eye in that hall on me. Some people were whispering already.“Does the king have a baby mama?” someone said from behind, and I didn’t even flinch. I wasn’t surprised because since Derek claimed me, only his family and the council elders knew. The rest had no idea—they didn’t want people to know about me.Mabel slowly used her hand to remove my scarf, and instantly the murmuring grew louder. I looked up and saw Derek walking straight to me. My heart was just beating fast, and I didn’t even know why.He stretched his hand toward me and said, “We should celebrate our daughter.”I looked from his face to the stage where Liora was still standing, holding Phoebe’s hand. The funny thing is, Liora didn’t even look surprised. Her smile was calm, like she already knew this moment would come.I don’t even know how I moved, but I found myself taking Derek’s hand. Together we walked to the stage. The lights hi

NORA POVI heard Asher call my name, but I pretended not to hear him. I gently removed his grip from mine and walked away. It seemed like he wanted to chase after me, but Mabel blocked his way. She said something to him, but I didn’t clearly hear it.I kept walking faster down the hallway, feeling a bit restless. Luckily, I passed a restroom and quickly turned back and walked in. I instantly removed my sunshade glasses and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I almost washed my face with water, but Mabel walking in stopped me.It was her presence that stopped me from almost ruining my makeup.“Are you okay?” she said from behind me.I looked at Mabel and managed to smile. I said, “I’m running from fire, not knowing smoke would still find me.”I refer to Derek as Fire and Asher as Smoke.Mabel looked at me through the mirror and asked, “Who is he? ...Does he really matter?”I took a small breath and shook my head. “No, he doesn’t. I guess that’s why
