تسجيل الدخولTheron rode his horse through the forest, the wind harsh against his skin, blowing his long tied hair behind him.He rode back to the Citadel at a mad speed, taking the dangerous shortest path.His head reeled and his body burned with Maren’s words. Jaw clenched, his eyes reddened with insane anger. Eryndra, that fucking deceiver.He have to reach the palace before the ceremony. He have to tell the prince exactly what kind of snake had sneaked into the palace. There was still time. He would get there and drag her out before the ceremony tomorrow.Suddenly, the air turned chilly. Occupied by his anger, Theron noticed too late. An arrow struck his chest, sending him flying off his horse. His back slammed against a large tree, breaking his spine. With a groan, he glanced down at the poisoned arrow and snatched it out of his chest before the deadly toxin could spread further. He scanned the surrounding trees but couldn’t see who had shot him. His spine snapped back into place as
LORD THERON The next morning, Theron set off to the scouts' regiment. Luckily, they'd found something. That was a thing Theron loved about his men. He'd trained them not to slack off. "This female troubles you, my lord," Zarin commented. "Yes, she does," Theron admitted. "My hunches are never the kind to disappoint. The betrothal ceremony is in two days, which is critical." Zarin nodded, and as they stepped in, all members immediately saluted. The head scout had a weathered face, which made him look more terrifying than the others. He respected Theron greatly. His eyes lit up when Theron stepped in. Theron barely stepped out of court, so it had been a long while since they'd last seen each other. They went straight to business. "We found something you must know about the lady you mentioned," the head scout said. "She might be adopted." That wasn't surprising. Theron already knew she wasn't from the Dor region. "And why is that so?" "There's no record of her being born in D
Eryndra looked like a ghost the next morning. Face puffy, lips chapped, hair like a bird’s nest, and eyes heavy with dark circles.She had spent all night strengthening the spell and making sure to stay farther from him, occasionally covering her nose so his scent wouldn’t loosen her guard. Sometimes in the middle of the night, it felt like his shadow was looming over her.Luckily, the potion they had used to mask their presence helped, otherwise it would have been impossible.Still, it was the longest and most terrifying night she had ever had.Before the sun came up, they were already on their way.Theron barely glanced at her throughout the rest of the journey, and she was glad.Eryndra dozed off for the rest of the ride, through the bumpy road and the forest. Her wolf was exhausted, its strength reduced to the point where she could hardly muster any to maintain the spell.When Eryndra woke up, they had arrived.The Citadel.She sat up with wide eyes when she saw the formidable bl
The carriage was silent, save for the heavy crunching sound of the wheels against the road.Eryndra peered through the narrow window, her palms sweaty against her thighs as she tried her best to stay calm.Her dress and hair had been refixed. She had told Luna Maren she'd undone them herself due to shortness of breath.The scene in her father's chamber wouldn't stop replaying.Who would have thought her mate from that night was not an Omega but the Grand Marshal of the Citadel?!A Lycan of all species!She was mated to the one whose sword would slash her neck the moment he found out what she really was!Her mother would go insane.When Lord Theron crowded her, she had felt the Veil spell a breath away from breaking. It would have, had she not channeled her energy into strengthening it.Even at that, the spell had weakened.Luckily, the male wasn't in the royal carriage, as he and his squire were riding ahead. It was going to take a day and a half before they reached the Citadel.Erynd
LORD THERON It was hard to find something that really surprised and amused him these days. Being almost two centuries old, things had been getting extremely tedious and exhausting recently. But not as tedious as Alpha Reavion's pep talk. Theron shouldn't be here. He hadn't been assigned to pick the designated female for the Crown Prince, yet he'd sent Lord Baren away, taking the task himself. All because of a ghost of a female who had slipped from his hand before dawn. He'd sent men to track her, unable to leave his own critical mission, only to end up in regret and sleepless nights with memories of her body burning against him. He should have yanked that fabric shielding her face loose. He should have sunk his fangs and claimed her properly. He shouldn't have left her. Lycans hardly find their fated mate. Most don't, only holding onto chosen mates instead. So when such a rarity occurs, they become overly possessive of their fated mate, wanting to be close to them a
A month ago, Eryndra had fled from her mate. Not because she feared him or didn't want him, but because of the crushing duty resting on her shoulders. After her older sister, Ishara, was found dead beyond the border, Eryndra had been chosen to take her place as the Lycan Crown Prince's bride. A compromise bride, or no bride at all would bring ruin upon the Silverion Pack. She was the only one who could save it. Her mind drifted back to that night in the cave. The stranger with silver-gray eyes and a scent so dangerously intoxicating it had stolen every rational thought she possessed. The one who had claimed her as his mate. When Luna Maren discovered what had happened, she cast the Veil Spell, concealing their bond so that if fate ever brought them together again, he would never recognize her. But Luna Maren had warned her that if they ever crossed paths again, she had to stay away or Veil Spell would not hold forever. Still, what were the chances? A male with a scent as faint
