MasukChapter 100The Grand Council Chamber broke out into loud shouts and cheers. Dozens of noble lords stood up from their seats, waving their hands and bowing toward the altar. The golden light from the silver bowl continued to shine softly around me, making my red dress and dark hair look bright and majestic under the high ceilings of the hall.Lord Valerius stood up abruptly from his stone throne, his red robes shaking with fury. He slammed his hand onto the armrest. “This proves nothing!” Valerius yelled over the loud crowd. “She was raised as an outcast in the southern forests! She knows nothing about our military, our laws, or our court traditions! We cannot let a southern wolf's mate rule our northern kingdom!”Zephyr took three bold steps forward, standing right beside me at the altar. His Alpha presence filled the large room, commanding respect from everyone present. “She fought Rowan on the front lines when your kingdom hid behind dark mountain walls!” Zephyr shouted back at Val
Chapter 99As our group rode down the northern slopes of the mountain, the deep valley opened up before us. The view was magnificent. In the center of the vast snowy valley stood the Northern Royal Citadel, an enormous fortress made of dark black granite and white marble. High stone towers reached up toward the sky, and three giant walls surrounded the ancient city.Flags bearing the royal symbol—a silver moon joined with a golden sun—flew proudly from every tower in the cold wind. Thousands of royal guards in shiny silver armor stood along the tall outer walls. A wide stone bridge spanned across a deep icy canyon, leading directly to the colossal front gates of the fortress.“It is massive,” I murmured, staring at the towering black walls in awe as my brown horse walked at a steady pace.“This is the heart of all northern wolf power,” Captain Jon explained as he rode beside us. “The Citadel was built over a thousand years ago. It has never been broken by an invading army.”As we appr
Chapter 98The journey north was long, difficult, and cold. For three straight days, our group rode through dense pine forests and over steep, icy hills. As we went higher into the mountains, the ground became harder and the air became thinner. Thick white snow covered the rocky paths, and strong mountain winds blew through the canyon walls, making it hard to see far ahead.Despite the freezing cold, the strong mate bond between Zephyr and me kept my spirit warm. Through our mental connection, I could feel his heart beating steadily, his calm focus, and his protective energy surrounding me. Whenever my horse slipped slightly on the icy rocks, Zephyr was right beside me, ready to reach out and steady my reins.On the afternoon of the fourth day, the trail narrowed significantly. We entered the Serpent's Maw, a deep canyon cut through the towering cliffs of the Frostfang Pass. On both sides, giant black rock walls rose hundreds of feet into the sky, blocking out most of the daylight. Th
Chapter 97The heavy letter lay open on the glass terrace table. The black wax seal was broken into pieces, but the sharp dark ink on the aged paper was clear. A cold silence fell over the garden terrace. The soft breeze in the pine trees seemed to stop completely. I looked from the letter to Zephyr. His face had turned hard, and his gray eyes were dark with heavy concern. Callum stood next to the pillar, his hand resting on his sword belt as he waited for Zephyr to speak.“The Sun Blood Syndicate,” Callum repeated slowly, his voice low and serious. “They are an ancient group of rogue wolves from the northern mountains. They have not been active near our southern borders for fifty years. If they gave Rowan money, weapons, and fighters, then the battle at our border was not just a small attack. It was planned by someone much bigger.”Zephyr picked up the letter again and read the lines carefully. “Rowan was only a pawn,” Zephyr said in a quiet voice filled with authority. “The Syndicat
Two weeks passed in a peaceful, quiet routine that felt almost unreal after everything we had survived. The physical damages from the heavy battle were steadily being repaired by the pack members. Broken fences were fixed, stone walls were rebuilt, and the life in the Silver Moon territory finally returned to normal.On a bright, crisp Tuesday morning, the warm sunlight washed over the estate grounds. I sat quietly on the sunny garden terrace, watching the pine trees sway gently in the breeze. Baby Zephyr was resting peacefully in a soft stroller beside my chair, his tiny chest rising and falling in a deep sleep. Mrs. Lloyd stood near the glass table, carefully pouring hot tea from a silver pot into delicate porcelain cups, her hands steady and her face calm. A few feet away, Callum was leaning against the stone pillar, reviewing routine guard reports and border schedules from his thick folder.Zephyr walked out onto the terrace, looking rested and regal despite wearing just a casual
The grand hall of the pack house was decorated magnificently for the coronation evening. Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceilings, casting warm light over hundreds of pack members dressed in their finest attire.Flowers lined the center aisle leading up to the dual thrones made of carved oak and silver.I stood behind the heavy wooden doors, wearing a floor-length dark red velvet gown that covered the bandages on my shoulder. My hair was styled in soft waves around my shoulders."You look breathtaking," Mrs. Lloyd said, teary-eyed as she adjusted the back of my dress. She was holding baby Zephyr, who was wearing a tiny black velvet outfit."I'm nervous," I admitted, taking a deep breath."You have nothing to fear, my dear," Mrs. Lloyd said warmly. "You've proven yourself a true Luna ten times over."The heavy doors creaked open. The trumpets echoed through the hall, signaling my entrance.Every eye turned toward me as I began walking down the long carpeted aisle. I kept
TwoI stared at the papers like they were relics. This couldn’t be happening, this should be a dream. No way my husband just shoved a divorce paper in my face after caught cheating on me with my best friend. Maybe it was a prank, maybe……“What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers” Trent’s voic
OneThe house was quiet like a grave, at least at a graveyard you hear the slow swat or breeze or you hear the chirping of birds but in this case the house was just eerily quiet. Trent’s car was in the driveway which means he was at home, probably came by to do something in his study. I headed to
Chapter 6Veronica's POVI could almost feel his eyes burrowing holes at the back of my head as he stared at me for what felt like hours but in reality was just a few seconds." So what do you say? Is the big alpha about to reject me?" I asked him, my voice purring and my speech slurred.He pulled
Five How could someone look so handsome yet dangerous at the same time? I watched as he headed my direction and sat in the chair in front of him. I flashed him a drunken grin.“Hi” I said and he ignored me. Or rather just stared, like he was seeing someone for the first time.“Hi” I sai
