LOGINKAELEN POVSilence spread across the chamber, thick and heavy. No one spoke. No one moved.Good.Let them feel fear.I stepped forward slowly, my boots echoing against the stone.“From this moment,” I said, voice steady but sharp, “no one leaves the palace without my command.”A few elders stiffened.“You will all remain here until I decide otherwise.”“That’s absurd,” one of them snapped. “You cannot imprison the council… ”I cut him off with a look.“I can do whatever I want, my wife just nearly escaped death I would rather not be questioned,” I said coldly.He shut his mouth.I turned to the guards lining the walls.“Double the watch. Every entrance, every corridor. No blind spots.”“Yes, my Alpha,” they answered in unison.Ael stepped beside me, holding up the arrow again. “We will examine this further,” he said calmly. “No one touches it. There’s wolfsbane on it and dark magic”I nodded once, then looked back at the room.“Until I find the one responsible…” I said slowly,“No one
KAELEN POVI stretched my arm across the bed… and felt nothing.My eyes opened slowly. She wasn’t beside me.Then I saw her.Sylvara stood by the balcony, the night wind moving through her hair.My chest tightened.Another nightmare… I could feel it. I always could.I sat up, watching her quietly. I knew what those dreams were. I saw them too… felt them. But I didn’t say anything.I was waiting for her to come to me.But Syl… she’s stubborn. Always trying to carry everything alone.I exhaled softly, about to call her name…Then I felt it.Danger.Sharp. Close.“Get down!” I shouted, already moving.I reached her in a second, grabbing her and pulling her down hard as something cut through the air where she had just been.We hit the ground hard.An arrow sliced past where her head had been a second ago and struck the wall behind us with a sharp crack.My blood ran cold.I pulled her tighter against me, my body covering hers without thinking. My eyes scanned the darkness beyond the balco
SLYVARA POVI drifted into sleep, wrapped against him. His warmth and steady heartbeat finally calmed me… for a moment.But it didn’t last.A whisper stirred in the shadows of my mind.“Child…”My chest tightened. The voice was low, cold, and haunting.“His… almost there…” it hissed.A shiver ran through me. I felt a heavy, suffocating presence in the darkness, reaching for me.The shadows pressed closer, swallowing everything else. My chest tightened. Panic clawed at me.I tried to scream, tried to wake, but no sound came. The darkness held me, cold and alive.I froze. My stomach dropped. My eyes burned. My throat felt dry.“Kaelen…” I whispered, trembling. I wanted him, needed him…But I could barely make a sound.Then heat, strong and sharp, cut through the nightmare. Kaelen. I felt him… solid, protective, like a wall against the darkness.I tried to breathe. The nightmare didn’t fully leave, the whispers circling still, twisting.I woke with a jolt, heart racing, breath uneven. I g
SYLVARA POVMy fingers trembled as I obeyed, sliding his cock into my wet pussy,Every nerve in my body screamed.“Ah… yes..” I screamedKaelen’s breath grew heavier, his forehead dropping briefly against mine as he exhaled sharply.“That’s it…” he murmured, voice low and strained.The moment stretched between us.. thick, charged, almost unbearable.Then he moved slowly.. His cock was sliding in and out like he was teasing me. Then his pace increased thrusting fast,“Ah…” I moanedOne hand came up to cup my face, tilting my head back so I had no choice but to look at him. His eyes were darker now, filled with something deeper than hunger… something possessive, consuming.“Look at me,” he said softly.I did.His lips found mine again, slower this time, as his thrust slowed. The kiss deepened, pulling me closer, drawing me into him like he wasn’t letting me go.My fingers tightened against him, my body already responding, already lost.“Ah, Bunny,” he whispered against my lips. “You’re g
SYLVARA POVHis eyes moved slowly over me, taking in every inch like he was savoring the sight. He didn’t rush, didn’t speak… just watched, the hunger in his gaze unmistakable.I so ready my legs wider for him. His eyes were hungry staring at my pussyI looked down and saw his cock was getting hard. His monstrous cock. I couldn't wait to have it inside me again.“Let me show you how much I want you,” I whispered, my hand trembling as I moved lower.Slowly, I slid my index finger inside pussy, shivering at the sensation. A soft gasp escaped my lips as the wet heat overwhelmed me.Kaelen’s voice came low and commanding, sending a shiver down my spine.“Add another finger, Bunny,” he murmured.I obeyed, sliding a second finger in, my breath coming faster, my body already aching for more.“I’m going to fuck myself with my fingers… slow,” I whispered, my hand moving carefully. I twisted upward as I pushed in, letting the motion match my shivers and gasps, feeling every inch awaken inside m
SYLVARA POVMorning came slowly.Soft golden light slipped through the tall windows of Kaelen’s chamber, spilling across the bed and the scattered flower petals that had been crushed during the night.I blinked awake, my body heavy and warm beneath the blankets.For a moment I didn’t move.Memories of the night before rushed back… his hands, his voice, the bond between us pulsing stronger than ever.Heat rushed to my face.I shifted slightly… and immediately felt the solid warmth behind me.Kaelen.His arm was draped across my waist, heavy and possessive even in sleep. My back rested against his chest, his steady breathing brushing softly against my neck.I swallowed.Carefully, I turned my head just enough to look at him.His dark hair was messy, falling across his forehead. In sleep, he looked… different. Less like the powerful Alpha who had silenced an entire council with a single command.Just a man.A very irresistible, dangerous man… who had somehow decided I belonged to him.My
The moment Kaelen’s command echoed across the arena… “Begin,” I said, and my muscles tensed. I felt every eye on me, every whisper from the crowd like tiny needles on my skin. My chest tightened. My heart slammed against my ribs like it wanted to escape. This was it. My first stage. My first real
Heat ran through my neck and my chest. My tongue felt thick. I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t even think.“I…” I managed, my voice breaking. “…I…”He chuckled, a low, teasing sound. “Lost your voice, Bunny?” he said, stepping closer. I could feel the warmth of his breath, the scent of him… pin
Sylvara PovThe bath was hot and soothing, but it did nothing to calm the storm inside me.My hands shook as I rubbed the soap across my skin. I kept thinking about him… … the way he had carried me like I weighed nothing, the calm in his eyes, the control he had over me.I hated him. I told myself
Sylvara PovFinally, all eyes turned to me.I couldn’t breathe. My chest tightened. I looked at Kaelen, fury, and horror and disbelief raging through me.“I… I will not be part of this,” I spat. “I will not…”Kaelen’s dark eyes caught mine. He stepped down from the stairs, the air around him shifti
