تسجيل الدخولThe first light of dawn painted the horizon in blood-red streaks as the Eclipse forces moved out from the fortress. Elara rode beside Kael at the head of the column, her body still deliciously sore from the night before. Every shift in the saddle reminded her of his claiming, the way he had filled her so completely, marked her inside and out. The bond between them pulsed steadily, a warm anchor in the chaos ahead.Kael glanced at her, his ice-blue eyes dark with concern and possession. "You should have stayed behind the walls.""And let you fight my battle alone?" She shook her head. "This is my war too, Kael. Darius made it personal the moment he broke me."He reached over and squeezed her thigh, fingers digging in just enough to remind her who she belonged to. "When we face him, stay close. If anything happens to you...""It won't," she said firmly. Golden energy flickered briefly along her fingertips. Her power felt more controlled now, less like a wild storm and more like a weapon
Elara's body still trembled from the intensity of Kael's claiming. His cock remained buried deep inside her, pulsing with the aftershocks of his release. Thick cum leaked down her thighs, mixing with her own slick as he held her pinned against the cold stone wall of the alcove. The distant sounds of battle echoed faintly beyond the fortress walls, a grim reminder that safety was temporary.Kael's forehead rested against hers. His breathing was ragged, ice-blue eyes burning with a mixture of relief and raw hunger. "I almost lost you out there," he growled, voice low and rough. One large hand slid down to grip her ass possessively, pulling her tighter against him. "Never again."She shivered at the intensity in his voice. The bond between them thrummed stronger than ever, a living thing that made every touch electric. "You were bleeding everywhere. I thought...""Don't think," he cut her off, capturing her mouth in another bruising kiss. His tongue dominated hers, tasting of blood and d
**Elara's POV*"Choose," Darius repeated, golden eyes burning into mine across the blood-soaked clearing. "Him or your people."Kael staggered to his feet behind me, blood dripping from his muzzle. His silver-black wolf snarled low, ready to charge again despite the fresh wounds.I shifted back to human form, naked and glowing with barely contained power. "Neither. I choose myself."Darius laughed, the sound cold and broken. "Still playing the victim? Three years I gave you everything and you hid your true self like a coward.""You gave me nothing but pain!" I shouted, stepping forward. Golden energy crackled along my skin. "You called me barren. Worthless. You fucked your whore in our bed and expected me to smile while raising your pup."His expression darkened. "Seraphina lost the child because of you. She's dying because of you.""Lies
**Elara's POV**"Show me the message again," Kael demanded, snatching the blood-stained note from my fingers.I watched his jaw clench as he read Darius's words. "Come home, wife. Or I'll kill every Eclipse wolf I find until you do. Starting with your precious rogue.""Arrogant bastard," Kael growled, crushing the paper in his fist. "He thinks he can threaten me in your father's territory?""He's not just threatening," I said, pacing the chamber. "He's already moving. The howls last night, those were scouts testing our borders."Viktor entered without knocking, his golden eyes hard. "The scout talked. Darius has rallied three minor packs with the poisoning lie. They're calling you a kinslayer, Elara.""I didn't poison anyone!" I snapped."Doesn't matter," Viktor replied coldly. "Perception wins wars. You need to train. Now. Show them the
**Elara's POV**The war room fell silent as Thorne's words hung in the air. I sat up slowly, Kael's knot finally deflating enough for us to separate. His seed leaked down my thighs as I reached for a robe."Poisoned?" I repeated, voice sharp. "That's a fucking lie."Kael growled low, pulling me back against his chest despite the fresh stitches. "Of course it is. Darius is desperate."Thorne shifted uncomfortably. "The scout swears Seraphina is bleeding out. She's telling every allied pack that you slipped her something before you ran. They're calling it attempted murder of an unborn heir."My father's golden eyes narrowed on me. "Did you?""No!" I snapped, standing. The robe barely covered me. "I barely looked at her. This is Darius twisting the knife."Viktor leaned back in his throne-like chair. "Doesn't matter if it's true. Perception
**Elara's POV**The fortress gates slammed shut behind us with a thunderous boom that vibrated through my bones. Eclipse warriors swarmed the walls, bows drawn and wolves howling as they reinforced the perimeter. I could still hear the distant clash of battle echoing from the treeline where Kael had held Darius back."Kael!" I dropped to my knees beside him as he collapsed in the inner courtyard. Blood poured from the deep gashes across his chest and flank. His silver-black fur receded as he shifted, leaving him naked, sweat-slick, and far too pale."Little queen," he rasped, ice-blue eyes locking onto mine despite the pain. One bloodied hand reached up, fingers tangling in my hair with surprising strength. "Told you to go inside.""Shut up," I snapped, pressing my hands over the worst wound. Warm blood seeped between my fingers. "You idiot. You were supposed to come right back."
