Mag-log inKira’s POVThree days. Three whole days of Adrian turning into the world’s most pathetic, lovesick puppy, and I still hadn’t let him off the hook.Every morning, fresh flowers waited on my bedside table…massive bouquets of wildflowers mixed with my favorite Camillas, each arrangement more ridiculous than the last. He’d bought me customized jewelry…a delicate gold necklace with a tiny wolf pendant that had both our initials engraved on the back, earrings that sparkled like stars, and a bracelet that chimed softly when I moved. New outfits filled my closet…soft, comfy outfits in every color I loved, plus lingerie I knew he’d picked out while imagining me in it.Yesterday he’d gone full extra. A sleek, limited-edition silver sports car had been delivered to the courtyard with my name embroidered on the leather seats in elegant script… Kira, Queen of My Heart. He’d stood there beaming like a kid who’d brought home straight A’s, waiting for me to jump into his arms.I didn’t. I just nod
Adrian’s POVKira turned on her heel and started walking away without another word, her flowing gown swishing around her legs with every angry step. I stood frozen, still processing the slap and that low, venomous growl. ‘What the hell did I do this time?’A heavy hand landed on my shoulder. Thomas. He gave me a sympathetic squeeze and muttered, “Good luck, Your Majesty,” before striding off after her like it was the most natural thing in the world.Wait…what?I blinked, confusion and a fresh wave of jealousy slamming into me as I watched them walk side by side. They were talking casually…Kira saying something, Thomas nodding with that easy grin of his. My wolf snarled inside my chest. ‘He gets to walk beside her right now while she’s mad at me? After everything?’I hastened my footsteps, practically jogging until I cut right between them, forcing Thomas to fall back. “Excuse me, Beta,” I said tightly, “but I need to talk to my wife.”Kira didn’t even slow down. “I’m not intere
Adrian’s POVI scanned the grand hall, taking in the chaotic scene. Dominic, the human doctor, stood there like a damn guard dog…shoulders squared, hands clenched tightly at his sides, jaw locked in fury. Behind him, a wide-eyed human girl peeked out timidly, looking like this was her first time stepping onto another planet. She clutched the back of his shirt, pale and overwhelmed.I’d already gotten the full briefing this morning when I asked why the hell my Beta was chained up like a wild animal. Just for following his natural instincts toward his mate. So we are here again? I had to pause the beautiful moment with my queen just to see this?I exhaled heavily, rubbing my temple. Let’s get this over with quickly. I need to finish what I was doing with my wife…preferably with her legs wrapped around me and no interruptions.Before I could even open my mouth to ask what the fresh drama was, Kira stepped forward.Thomas was growling low, fangs fully extended, claws out, looking ready
Adrian’s POVThe knock still hung in the air like an annoying fly I wanted to swat. Kira stirred beneath me, her body shifting as she tried to sit up, already reaching for the sheet to cover herself. Not a chance.I hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her right back down, flush against my chest. “Ignore it,” I whispered hotly into her ear, my voice rough with fresh need.My lips found the sensitive spot on her neck where my mark is, sucking and kissing, tasting the salt of our earlier sweat. Before she could protest, I rolled us so she was straddling me again, her thighs spread wide over my hips, that warm, slick heat of hers pressing right against my quickly hardening cock.She pushed lightly at my shoulders, but there was no real force behind it. “Adrian… I’m the queen. I don’t ignore my people.”I looked up at her, my hands sliding possessively up her sides, and felt a surge of pure pride swell in my chest. Thomas had filled me in this morning…how she’d held the palace tog
Adrian’s POVHell. That’s what it was. Pure, unrelenting hell.I lay there in the late morning light filtering through the curtains, my body still humming from the way I’d taken Kira last night…like a starving beast finally let off its chain. My wolf had surged forward the second we stepped into the room and saw her curled up in our bed, all soft curves and messy hair, breathing peacefully. No control. Just raw need. I’d claimed her hard, fast, desperate, like the mountain journey had stripped away every civilized layer I owned.But now, in the quiet, my mind kept replaying it all. The jagged cliffs I climbed, the freezing winds that cut like knives, the shadows in that godforsaken mountain that whispered my deepest fears back at me. I’d never even heard of the place before the ritual demanded it…some ancient peak where curses like mine were born and could be killed. Elise had been right beside me, steady as stone, but she didn't go up the mountain with me.It was a journey she sa
Kira’s POVThe moment my eyes landed directly on him, the world tilted.Adrian.He sat at the head of the long oak table like he’d never left, broad shoulders filling out his dark shirt, that neat-but-now-slightly-longer dark hair pushed back from his forehead. His council members flanked him…serious faces, papers scattered, the usual morning meeting vibe I've gotten used to in the past week…the only extra thing is that…he's there!Thomas sat right beside him, looking way too pleased with himself, arms crossed, a massive grin splitting his face when he saw me.My stomach dropped. Hard.No. This isn’t real. I’m still dreaming.I rubbed my eyes roughly with both fists, like a kid trying to erase a nightmare. When I opened them again, he was still there. Everyone was staring straight at me. Not moving. Not blinking. Just… watching.A chill raced down my spine. This felt exactly like the first time I’d burst into their meeting room months ago, wearing nothing but Adrian’s oversized shirt
Adrian’s POVLevi unrolled a parchment older than the palace itself, the royal seal still glowing crimson at the bottom and opened his mouth.“Royal Decree of Blood Succession,” he read aloud, voice ringing like a death knell. “As long as the reigning king remains unmated and unmarked, no illegitim
Adrian’s POV“Your Majesty…” Levi repeated slowly, his eyes fixed on my bare neck, “where is your mark?”The room went dead silent.My jaw clenched so tight Derek snarled inside my head.I turned fully to him, letting every ounce of my authority hit him like a blow.“Is that really the question you
Adrian’s POVHours earlier, I had already set everything up for her surprise and was practically vibrating with anticipation. I couldn’t stand still. I was pacing right by the entrance like some desperate, lovesick dog dying for its owner to walk through the door, ears perked, tail ready to wag th
Kira’s POVThe hallway smelled like expensive perfume the second I straightened up.Four girls stood in a perfect half-circle, blocking my path like they’d rehearsed it. Designer bags, perfect blowouts, uniforms tailored so tight they looked painted on. Front and center was the obvious leader…tall,
