Se connecterKaelen’s POVI paused at the top of the stairs, staring down at four men who stared at me like I had taken their breaths away. I was dressed in a red off-the shoulder evening gown with a long slit that ran from my thigh to the floor.The jewellery on me was a custom piece gifted to me by Cassien and Riven. Hazel made my hair in simple updo with just enough brought forward for the flair. It felt strange yet so nice being in something this beautiful in a long time.Cassien and Riven stood on the stairs giving out their hands to take. I could pick one to find out what the other would do, but that would give me little breathing space when I got back so I took the hands of both men.They slowly guided me down the stairs. Even when I got down, Asher and Ashton still seemed mesmerized. Cassien wrapped his around my waist, bringing me to his side. Riven cast him a look, but did nothing to bring me to his side.“You look stunning, Kaelen,” Ashton said.We all stared at him surprised for a minu
Ashton’s POVNot five minutes.Not when she just left his study.Not even a minute but just when she responded.Asher gave a stupid headups that Kaelen was coming my way just when I had sounded like I needed her twenty miles away from me. I just received his message when she responded behind the door.It took me a few seconds to realize what just happened.I jumped off the chair, staring down at my clothes. I pulled my shirt down, trying to straighten it. The top two buttons of my shirt were loose but I added one more. More chest view. She liked that.I looked around the room. It was mostly arranged but somehow it felt like a mess. I pulled out the chair across from mine, but pushed it closer to the table the next second. I wasn’t prepared to have her here.“Relax, Ash,” I told myself, taking a deep breath.I got back to my sit, placed my elbows on the table with my fingers intertwined. Just before I called out to her, I changed my mind. I picked up a pen then leaned back into the cha
Kaelen’s POV“How did it go?” I asked Sterling.“It went smoother than expected,” he replied.Sterling was sent to Wildfire pack to help them establish a stronger force to withstand any attack. The last attack took down a lot of what they had in place. I was glad they were still standing and slowly recovering.“If so, why are you back now? You were meant to be back three weeks ago,” I said.He looked around the room, nodding slightly. He was looking for a way to avoid the question. “Nice study,” he said.I humoured him, my eyes darting around the space. Cassien and the others prepared this study for me. Since coming back, there were a lot of things I needed to work on. A study was the best place to effectively do that.“Heard it’s the Luna queen’s study,” he said.“I couldn’t stop them from making it mine,” I said truthfully.We haven’t had the ceremony yet and I was still unmarked, but I can’t stop three stubborn men. At least not when there are things to be done. “It suits you,” he
Cassien’s POVDays later…Riven grabbed a glass of water from the table, and took a sip without taking his eyes off the stack of documents he held. Asher enjoyed whatever was playing on the television while I stayed glued to my book.The kingdom has been peaceful for days now and I could not be more grateful to the goddess for it. Ashton joined us, plopping on the sofa with a sigh. Everyone ignored him. He has been moody for days now and no one has cared to ask why.“She ignores me,” he broke the silence of the room.“Who?” Riven asked, still glued to his documents.“Kaelen.”We all raised our heads, staring at him. “Why did you say her name like that?” Asher asked, sounding offended.Ashton looked stunned. “How did I say it?”“Like you care about her.”Ashton scanned our faces then shrugged. “Maybe I do. Is that a problem? She’s my mate too.”We shared glances briefly before returning to each of our activities. He exhaled. “I didn’t think she was at first but I think she does. She ha
Kaelen’s POVThe sound of the sea below the cliff sent calm through my veins. I stood at the edge of it, hands behind my back, admiring the view. Lenal stood beside me, quiet. For a few minutes, none of us said a word.But the tension was undeniable.He finally broke the silence. “Why did you bring me here?”“Uncomfortable?” I asked, my tone flat.He scoffed, shaking his head. “Compared to me, you should be more uncomfortable.”I took a moment. “I’m not,” I said. “Actually, I feel really good.”A minute ticked by. “I feel relaxed. The last time I was here I thought of Father. He loved the sea, beaches… that’s why he had our home close to a beach. But then…”I paused, the event of that day —the effect of Lenal’s drug, played in my mind. “You’re going to hold a grudge, won’t you?” Lenal said.“I’ve never really believed in forgiveness,” I admitted.Anyone who hurt the people, I made sure to remove them from this world. It was no different for hurting me or my family. “Tell me, were you
Kaelen’s POVDays later, I was seated on the balcony with Hazel beside me, peeling oranges. I tried to take it from her but she refused. She felt much better now and was adamant on serving me as usual. She gave me a freshly peeled one and I picked a piece.“What’s on your mind?” she asked.“Do you think everything is peaceful now? It’s all over?” I asked.Since we got back, everything seemed to die down. There were few sightings of rogues. The houses of alphas, and grand alphas have been raided and locked down. It all seemed like everything had gone back to normal.“Do you think it’s not?” she asked.I drew my breath. “It feels that way but… I don’t know.”“Well, you know what I think?” She said, “You should relax. You’re fully better now. Most of the leaders of the rogues are gone. Although that one person is still out there, I don’t think she can cause as much damage as she did before. Especially considering we’ve cut off a lot of her resources.”“Your praises are being sung everywh
Cassien's POV“I brought these and she can't see me?!” Sterling barked at the innocent maid, who shivered at his tone.“Where is she?” he asked, his tone calm.“I... I don't know. She leaves early and returns late,” the maid again replied.
Cassien's POVSterling has been moody from the moment he walked into the hall. Unusual for him. My brothers and I gave ourselves a knowing look before returning our attention to him.“It seems the general is upset by our presence,” Ashton said, taking a sip

Kaelen's POV I stayed in the hospital for a week. I felt remotely better after staying bedridden for five days and ready to be discharged, but Sterling wished I stayed longer. He opened the door of his car for me. Hazel and I stepped in. We rode in silence until we got to his mansion by nightfall.
