Vira's POV

"I can smell your wetness, high queen," Gryfyn murmured right against my ear, his large hand sliding down my leather-clad hip to pull me flush against his saddle while our horses matched stride at the head of the column.

I shifted slightly against his heavy frame, feeling the solid heat of his chest press through our matching dark-leather armor. The crimson silk lining our high collars brushed against my neck with every breath we took.

"I am not wet, Gryfyn," I answered smoothly, tu

    Vira's POV "I can smell your wetness, high queen," Gryfyn murmured right against my ear, his large hand sliding down my leather-clad hip to pull me flush against his saddle while our horses matched stride at the head of the column.I shifted slightly against his heavy frame, feeling the solid heat of his chest press through our matching dark-leather armor. The crimson silk lining our high collars brushed against my neck with every breath we took."I am not wet, Gryfyn," I answered smoothly, turning my head enough to catch the rough stubble along his jaw. "I am calculating how many miles we cover before the sun hits the western ridge.""You get hungry too much," he growled low, his thumb pressing firm into the curve of my waist through the thick hide. "You could just lean back against me and let my elite guard handle the distance.""Your elite guard cannot negotiate trade rights with the central pack leaders when we cross their borders," I teased back, a slow smile touching my lips as

    Vira’s POV"You are measuring my broad shoulders for the third time, Vira," Gryfyn growled low into my hair, his massive, calloused hand reaching around my middle to draw my broad body flush against his heavy frame.We stood inside the private armory of the northern border outpost, where two giant iron hearths roared with bright, crackling flames. The thick stone room smelled of heated iron, boiled leather, and rich pine oil. Spread across the massive oak table in the center of the room were bolts of heavy dark-leather armor hide, sheets of hammered black steel plates, and spools of royal crimson silk thread brought down from the central weavers' guild."I am measuring your shoulders because a single loose strap on your shoulder guard will throw off the balance of your broadsword during a heavy strike, Gryfyn," I replied smoothly, keeping my voice calm and razor-sharp. I pulled the marked leather measuring strap tight across his broad, tattooed back, my thumbs pressing firm against t

    Gryfyn’s POV"Are you scared of the iron shoulder buckle, substitute," I growled low into Vira’s soft dark hair, my left hand sweeping across her middle to pull her broad frame flush against my heavy war armor.We stood inside the central courtyard of Lord Malakor’s former coastal border fort. The morning sun had barely cleared the jagged granite cliffs, casting long grey shadows over the cobblestones. All around us, the air smelled of wet wood smoke, leather oil, and the crisp sea salt blowing in from the southern ocean. Down in the yard, fifty of my most lethal, battle-tested heavy riders—my personal elite guard—were checking iron horseshoes, tightening leather saddle girths, and securing extra grain sacks to their mounts.Vira didn't flinch or pull away from my hold. She leaned her soft, thick back firmly against my chest, her small hands resting flat over my thick forearms where I held her locked tight against my middle. Her dark grey wool riding dress felt warm under my callouse

    Vira’s POVThe sharp, metallic scent of damp iron and sea salt filled the subterranean cell beneath the coastal watch station.Torchlight flickered across the dark granite walls, casting long, dancing shadows over the four heavy iron posts where Commander Vane—the foreign officer we had captured in the pebble cove—sat bound with thick hemp ropes. His silver-trimmed armor lay in a pile on the cold floorboards, leaving him in a torn wool tunic, his broad shoulders tensed as he stared up at us.Gryfyn stood towering at my side, his massive frame blocking out half the torchlight in the room. His dark leather war armor clanked softly as he shifted his weight, his broad, calloused hands resting heavy on his hips. The wild, dark wolf ink across his neck pulsed hot in the dim light, and his dark golden eyes flared with a feral, terrifying heat that made the foreign commander flinch every time Gryfyn drew a breath."You have five seconds before I let my Alpha King show you how we treat foreign

    Vira’s POVThe sharp, rhythmic tapping of a wooden signal runner outside our chamber door brought me back to full awareness before dawn even broke over the southern horizon.I sat up slowly on the bed cot, my thick grey wool dress already fastened securely around my waist. Beside me, Gryfyn shifted with a low, primal growl, his broad arm instantly sweeping back across my middle to pull my broad body back against his heavy, warm frame."The sun hasn't cleared the granite cliffs yet, substitute," Gryfyn purred rough against my ear, his dark golden eyes flashing with a possessive, territorial heat in the dim morning light. His calloused hand rested firmly against my waist, anchoring me to his side. "The watchtowers are still burning.""Kaelen wouldn't send a runner to our door at this hour for a routine watch shift, My King," I whispered back softly, turning in his hold to press a quick, sweet kiss against his broad jawline. "The foreign ships are moving."A deep rumble started in Gryfyn

    Gryfyn’s POV"What are you thinking about?," I growled low into Vira’s ear, locking the heavy iron bolt on the oak door of our coastal watch station bedchamber.The small stone room sat high on the granite ridge, safe from the cold sea spray howling outside the heavy glass window. A thick peat fire crackled in the corner hearth, throwing long golden light across the rough stone walls and sheepskin rugs. Three hours ago, Kaelen’s bowmen had wiped out the foreign rowers inside the sea cave, and Joran’s watchtowers were fully lit, burning bright against the black night sky.Vira stood near the wooden washbasin, unfastening the brass buckle of her dark riding belt. Her broad back was turned to me, her long dark hair slipping over her thick shoulders, exposed to the warm glow of the fire."I am thinking about how quiet this ridge was three months ago, Gryfyn," she murmured softly, her smooth voice sending a hot, possessive rush straight down into my gut. She set her belt down onto the woo
