As soon as Anastasia opened her eyes and shifted slightly, her movement stirred Kael awake. He had dozed off from exhaustion, but the slightest motion was enough to rouse him. The way he reacted was so sudden it almost made her laugh.

Still half-asleep, Kael reached out instinctively, his eyes closed as he gently stroked her hand. With his other hand, he grabbed the bowl and towel beside the bed and began wiping her face as if trying to cool a fever.

"Kael," she called softly.

He didn’t respond still lost in his daze.

"Kael!" she said again, this time with more force.

That did the trick. He blinked himself awake, but embarrassment flashed across his face, and for a few seconds, he couldn’t meet her eyes.

"Thank you," Anastasia whispered.

Only then did he finally look at her.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, pressing the back of his hand to her forehead to check for any lingering fever. When he saw that her temperature was normal, he exhaled deeply, his tense features relaxing with rel

    Anastasia stood tall as she addressed the council elders, her voice steady with determination. Across the chamber, Kael’s inner beast stirred pleased and eager. It wanted to emerge, to finish marking her as his, and silence the murmurs of disapproval once and for all.“I am your king’s mate,” Anastasia declared, “and that alone should grant me the right to be involved in the decisions of this coven. That makes me your Queen. I have every right to speak on matters concerning our people and this council’s plans.”“But, Miss,” Council Elder Azaro interrupted sharply, “you have not yet been marked by the King. That alone disqualifies you from claiming the title of Queen. You haven’t undergone the official rites. Until then, your voice holds no weight in this chamber. Furthermore,” his voice turned cold, “it has been our law for generations that women especially Queens do not hold decision-making power within this coven.”The chamber murmured in unrest. Azaro’s blatant dismissal struck lik

    “I can see something is bothering you, my King,” Matif said as he stepped out from the shadows. He had been hiding there for several minutes, hoping his master would sense his presence. But Kael’s mind was clearly elsewhere, consumed by something heavier.“Matif, I can’t do this anymore,” Kael confessed the moment his most trusted advisor appeared.“What do you mean, Your Majesty?”“I mean everything, Matif. The curse. Anastasia. It’s all becoming too much. I want to mark her. I want to be with her. But with this curse bound to my flesh, I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do. What if I end up bringing more disaster than good?”Kael’s voice cracked with raw emotion as he poured his heart out.“My King, why are you still tormenting yourself like this? Have you ever asked her how she feels about the curse? Have you even told her everything seen whether she’d be willing to risk it all to make this work between you two? You can’t decide for her, not like you do for all of us, your sub

    “What did you just say?” Kael asked, confused by Bernard’s words.“She is awakening, my King,” Bernard said with a broad smile and walked away, leaving the two lovebirds behind.He was genuinely happy Anastasia was slowly awakening her powers. That could only mean one thing: the time was drawing near to wage war against the evil sea witch, Aquaris the one who had killed the last king and queen and had forcefully ruled the waters ever since with the help of her monstrous minions.Kale looked down at Anastasia. She lay limp and powerless in his arms, completely unaware of the chaos her body had just endured. Around them lay the remains of the stone creatures. With a grim expression, he picked her up and carried her to his chambers.One thing was certain he would never let her sleep alone again. Every time he did, her life was threatened.Anastasia tossed and turned in his arms, clearly trapped in the clutches of a nightmare.Inside the Dream“I see you are slowly awakening your powers,

    “Who ordered her to be thrown into the dungeon?” Kael stormed into the Council Elders’ chamber, fury radiating off him. In his arms, Anastasia lay quietly, her eyes puffy from crying. His aura spiraled so violently through the hall that even nearby vampires were forced into submission.“My King… you’ve returned,” Elder Azaro stammered, rising to his feet as Kael entered with the girl. Hidden from view, Azaro clenched his fist so tightly that veins bulged across his hand, though his face wore a forced, awkward smile.“I asked a question and I won’t ask again,” Kael growled, his voice laced with authority. “Who sent her to the dungeons? Do you even know who she is?”Kael was not a man who repeated himself, but this time he made an exception emphasizing the weight of the matter.“I see none of you are ready to talk,” he said coldly. “Then let me speak. Let this be the first and last time you touch her in my absence. She is my mate, your future Queen. Treat her as such. She and her compan

    "I'm sorry, but you must be mistaken. I haven’t done anything wrong," Anastasia protested, her voice trembling with disbelief. But the guards remained unmoved. Determined, they seized both her and Bernard without hesitation.From the shadows, Alicia watched their capture with growing satisfaction. A slow, cruel smile curved her lips. With Kael away fighting at the Northern border against Victor and his troops, now was her chance her perfect opportunity to eliminate Anastasia before she fully awakened her powers. If she succeeded, she could reclaim her dream of ruling the seas, a dream that had taken root since her mother’s claim to the throne.The patrol escorted Anastasia and Bernard to the Council of Leaders. Strangely, perhaps due to her mermaid heritage stirring within her, Anastasia’s scent had changed. It no longer carried the distinct trace of a werewolf, concealing her identity and sparing her from immediate execution.“Speak,” ordered the council leader as soon as the guards
