Sebastian's POV

As I make my way through the rest of the afternoon, I can’t get Zahra Larkin out of my head. Her sapphire blue eyes and delicate features keep invading my thoughts, making it impossible to concentrate on my lessons. Every time I try to focus, I find myself picturing her shy smile and the way her eyes lit up when she talked about her pack’s training methods. The hours seem to blur together, and before I know it, the final bell rings. grabbing my bag I head straight out to the parking lot, not even bothering to drop my things off at my locker on the way.

I wait outside by my truck for the others to join me. We're planning to head over to Daphne’s diner on the way home instead of eating at the pack house. Leaning on my truck, I spot my cousin Alexander and his friends approaching.

“Hey Xander,” I greet him with a fist pump and bro hug, noticing the scowl on his Beta’s face.

“Hey Seb,” Xander nods.

“What’s going on?” I ask warily, noticing the others look stony-faced as we

    Tobias's POVThankfully, Mother steps in to save the day. “Behave, Felix!” she scolds before wrapping Zahra in a warm hug and kissing her cheek. “Zahra, dear, it’s such a pleasure to see you again.”Goddess, if this is how she’s acting now, what’s she going to be like when she knows Zahra’s my mate? She’ll probably suffocate her. But Zahra looks a little more at ease, and I’m grateful for that as she steps back and says, “Thank you. It’s nice to see you too.”Mum’s in full mother-hen mode now. “How have you been? How was graduation?”Zahra’s voice sounds steadier as she answers. “Well, thanks. Graduation was good… though my two surprise guests almost made me fall flat on my face.” She glances at me with a grin, and I can’t help

    Tobias's POVAfter a few more minutes of conversation with Dad about work, I head to my own office down the hall. The rest of the afternoon is a blur of emails, and reports, but I can’t stop my mind from drifting to Zahra. What is she up to right now? Is she settling in well?By six, I’m back at the residence to shower and change for dinner. I catch myself putting extra care into my appearance tonight, which is ridiculous. It’s not even a formal dinner, just a semi-formal welcome meal for Zahra that Mum decided to organize. Still, I pull on a pair of navy dress pants and a crisp white Oxford shirt. Rolling the sleeves back a few turns, I make the look feel less stiff. I hate feeling overly formal at home.Heading down to the main dining room on the ground floor of our wing, I’m greeted by the rest of the team. Everyone’s here except for the Beta family and

    Tobias's POVI head downstairs to the first floor and cross to the East Wing, where Dad’s official office is located. This space is the command centre of the palace and the heart of the kingdom’s operations. While Dad has a private study in our residence, this is where he does most of his "kinging".Passing the receptionist’s desk, I nod in acknowledgment as she bows slightly. I stop in front of the heavy oak doors and knock.There’s a brief pause before I hear his familiar voice. “Come in.”Pushing the door open, I find Dad scowling at his computer screen, the tension in his shoulders clear. His irritation is palpable, and I tread carefully.“What’s up, Father?” I ask, taking a seat in one of the leather chairs in front of his desk. Whatever’s bothering him, it looks serious.He glances up, his expression softening as he leans back. “Nothing new. Just reviewing the latest report on rogue activity.” He lets out a heavy sigh, rubbing a hand over his face. “It’s frustrating. We still ha

    Tobias's POVSpending four hours alone in the car with Zahra has been one of the best experiences of my life. I debated whether to bring the chauffeur, have Nicholas drive us, or follow my security detail’s preference to ride in the same vehicle as some of them. In the end, I decided this was worth the logistical headaches, and I was right. Watching Zahra relax, seeing her open up in a way I’ve never seen before, has been incredible. Her laugh, her stories, and the way her face lights up when she’s passionate about something are addictive.Driving up the winding road to the castle, I steal a glance at her and see the wonder etched on her face as the castle comes into view. Her eyes widen, her lips part slightly, and the corners of her mouth tug into a smile that makes my chest tighten. Watching her take it all in, knowing she likes my home, fills me with a deep satisfaction. I can’t wait for the day I drive her up this same road when she knows it’s her home too.Her amazement only gro

    Zahra's PO“Wow!” Felix’s voice cuts through the pounding in my ears. I glance up, clutching the stitch in my side, and see the stunned expressions on the faces around me. Well, except for Uncle Nicholas and Tobias, who are both grinning like they’ve just won a bet.“What was my time?” I ask between gasps, directing my question at Baxter. He doesn’t respond right away, still looking at me weirdly.“We’ll check in a minute,” he finally says, shaking his head in amazement. “Not many people finish this course. It’s designed to be nearly impossible. Well done, Zahra.”Huh. I assumed it was just impossible for shorty me, but I guess even the taller wolves struggle. When you’re a midget, you learn to get creative. I smile and shrug, trying to play it cool despite the fact that

    Zahra's POV‘Stay calm, Z. You’ve got this, and I’m here with you.’Zanthe’s voice is steady and reassuring. Honestly, where would I be without her?“Morning, little one. Did you sleep well?” Tobias’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts. His tone is quiet, almost intimate, and I notice Jasper shooting him a look. What’s that about?“Yeah, good, thanks,” I reply with a small smile.Tobias gestures to the two massive men standing nearby. “I’d like you to meet Elite Trainers Eduardo,” he says, indicating the larger of the two, “and Blake.” The shorter one scowls slightly as he offers his hand. Great, he looks thrilled to be here.“Eduardo, Blake, this is Zahra Larkin, Beta Female
