THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE
Kael’s POV The gardens were quieter than usual that morning, bathed in a soft gold that made even the marble fountains look alive. Dew clung to the petals of the roses, glimmering like tiny jewels in the sunlight. Elara walked beside me, her robe trailing lightly against the grass, her hair catching the light in a way that made my chest tighten.It had been days since the coronation, yet peace still felt new—fragile, like a secret we weren’t supposed to touch too loudly. But this morning, I didn’t want to think about councils, borders, or treaties. I just wanted to think about her.“Did you know,” I said, brushing my fingers against hers as we walked, “that this garden used to belong to my mother?”Elara glanced at me, curious. “No, you never told me that.”“She planted the roses herself,” I said, smiling faintly. “She used to say a kingdom that grows roses can’t be lost forever. Even when it’s covered in thorns.”Her lips curved into a small, knowing smile. “Sounds like something yo
THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT
Elara’s POV Morning came far too soon.The palace was quiet, softer than it had been in months. The banners from the coronation still fluttered outside the windows, and the scent of roses from last night’s celebration lingered faintly in the air. For once, Astrid didn’t feel like a kingdom teetering on the edge of war, it felt like home.Kael was still half-asleep when I slipped out of bed, his arm draped lazily across the sheets where I’d been lying. The golden light spilling through the curtains traced the faint scars on his back, reminders of the battles that had nearly broken us both. But here, in this moment, they seemed like proof, proof that we’d survived everything meant to destroy us.I smiled to myself and pulled on a silk robe before stepping toward the balcony. The morning air was cool, carrying the faint sounds of the city below. Astrid had woken before we had, market bells ringing, children laughing, the hum of life returning after years of silence.For the first time i
THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SEVEN
Elara’s POV The feast had carried on longer than I expected.Laughter spilled through the grand hall like the sound of breaking waves, rising and falling with every toast, every melody that drifted from the orchestra. Kael’s hand never left mine, even as nobles and Alphas came to bow, offer blessings, or make their carefully veiled promises of loyalty.But after hours of smiling, thanking, and pretending to enjoy the endless attention, I caught his eye, that silent, wordless look we had perfected through countless battles and sleepless nights.Enough.“Let’s slip away,” he murmured against my ear, his voice low enough that only I could hear.I tried to hide my smile, dipping my head slightly as another noble approached. “The King abandoning his own coronation feast? How scandalous.”Kael’s lips curved, the faintest smirk. “Let them talk. I’d rather have you to myself for a while.”That was all the convincing I needed.We moved quietly, unnoticed amid the music and laughter, slipping
THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX
Storm’s POV The coronation feast was nothing short of a spectacle.By the time the sun began to sink behind the spires of the palace, the great hall had transformed into a tapestry of light and music.Chandeliers glittered like stars, the air humming with laughter, and the scent of roasted venison and honeyed wine filled every breath.For the first time in years, Astrid wasn’t drowning in tension or fear. It was… alive.I leaned against one of the marble pillars, watching wolves from rival packs share drinks and jokes as though generations of bloodshed had never existed. Elara and Kael sat at the head of the grand table, their crowns gleaming softly under the candlelight. They looked well, untouchable. Together, they radiated something rare, something that felt like hope.Jack elbowed me in the ribs. “You’re scowling again.”“I’m not scowling.”“You are. It’s that thing you do when you’re pretending not to be impressed.”I rolled my eyes, taking a sip of wine. “I’m just keeping an e
THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE
Kael’s POV Dawn broke like the first breath of a new world.The palace bells rang low and solemn across Astrid, echoing off the marble spires and through the valley beyond. Every sound, every flutter of a banner, every footstep in the corridor carried weight. It was coronation day.For the first time in years, I felt the pulse of something close to fear. Not the kind that came before battle or bloodshed. The kind that came when you realized how much you stood to lose.I stood before the mirror in my chambers, the morning light spilling across the obsidian tiles. The black and gold uniform of Astrid’s first King fit like armor, each clasp bearing the crest of the united packs which is a silver moon encircled by flame. A symbol of balance of everything Elara and I had fought for.A knock came at the door.“Come in,” I said.Jack stepped inside, his usual grin replaced by something steadier, proud. “You clean up well, your Majesty.”I raised an eyebrow. “Bit early for that title, don’t
THE COLD WOLF'S MATE CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FOUR
Elara’s POVThe palace had never looked so breathtaking.By the time the moon rose over Astrid, every corridor shimmered with silver light. Chandeliers of crystal and obsidian reflected a thousand stars onto the ballroom floor. The musicians tuned their instruments in soft, melodic hums, and the scent of moon lilies filled the air.Tomorrow, Kael and I will be crowned King and Queen of Astrid. But tonight was different. Tonight was for the wolves we once were, the Alpha and Luna of the Midnight Fang Pack by saying goodbye to the life that had shaped us.“Breathe,” Mira whispered as she fastened the last clasp of my gown. “You look like you’re about to face an execution, not a ball.”I tried to smile, but my reflection in the mirror gave me away. The gown was a soft cascade of silver and midnight blue, threaded with faint glimmers of moonlight. A crown of woven crystal sat against my hair, delicate but steady. “Maybe I am. Just… a different kind.”Mira gave me a look that said she was

Elara’s POV The courtyard still smelled of smoke and sorrow.The embers glowed faintly where the pyre had been, like dying stars scattered across broken stone.Every flicker of light reminded me of her, of what we’d almost lost, and what we still might.The night had quieted after the storm, but s

Kael’s POV By the time we reached the ridge overlooking the valley, the night had settled like a bruise across the sky. The moon was rising and every instinct in me screamed that we were too late.But when I saw it, the coronation fire was still unlit. The pyre stood waiting in the courtyard of
