ISABELLE’S POV

My breath caught in my throat, but I quickly masked my reaction. “I am doing nothing of the sort, Rowan. I’m simply acting with what I see and observe. Perhaps you should do the same.”

His eyes darkened, and his expression tightened. “Do you actually believe that I have any intentions towards her?” He growled, his frustration evident in his clenched jaw.

Swallowing my unease for his closeness, I squared my shoulders. “Yes, Rowan. I do. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’d like some time alone without you following me around.”

My heart was pounding from the tension between us, heavy and charged, but I refused to look down and walk away.

His words hung in the air, heavy and dark. I stared at him, my mind racing. Why had he been waiting for me? What did he mean by what he was saying?

Gathering my composure, my gaze flickered over him cautiously, “Tell me exactly why you were waiting for me?”

His piercing gaze met mine and he stepped even closer, till there was only a single inch

    ISABELLE’S POVThe night was silent, the window still wide open and cold wind breezing into my roomI lay sprawled across my bed, a romance novel balanced in my hands.I was slowly humming a song, the faint glow of the lamp casting a warm halo over the room. I lit the fireplace to keep the chills away. The wildfire filled the room with comforting heat.I was lost in the words of the novel when my wolf suddenly stirred, waving her tail. ‘Someone’s here.’ she whispered, alert and eager.The book fell out of my hands and I instantly sat up, my gaze fixed on the billowing curtains.For some reason my heart was racing wildly in my chest, my throat suddenly dry.Before I could react, a shadow leapt gracefully through the open window and slid across the room towards me. I bolted upright, my hand on my chest, until I saw the familiar silhouette of General Kael. He landed on one knee, his head bowed slightly.Even in the dark he looked dashing in his all-black battle gear, his hair tousled f

    ISABELLE POVThe figurine sat cold and sharp in my hands, its smooth lines and intricate details showing me just how much effort Kael had put into crafting it for me. My fingers gently brushed over the carved wolf’s howling face, and I couldn’t help but smile. “It’s beautiful,” I whispered to myself. “He must have spent so many hours working on this.”My wolf huffed and puffed with pride. Clearly sated by Kael's gift.I was still lying on my bed, the novel I was reading long forgotten, glancing toward the window. The night was quiet again, save for the occasional howl of the wind. Kael had left as promised, leaping out of the window with the same grace as when he entered. Despite my teasing, I felt a pang of regret seeing him go. Moments after he disappeared, I was startled by the door creaking open, and my maid stepped in carrying a canvas draped with a cloth.“Your Highness,” she began, holding out the gift, “this arrived earlier. It seems to be a gift from the artist Alan.”My

    KAEL'S POVI sat still in the dimly lit command tent, I could still hear the whispers of restless soldiers outside. In my hand, I clutched the silver necklace Isabelle had given me before I left for battle. The delicate chain slipped through my fingers as I traced the pendant’s intricate design. Her sweet scent still lingered faintly on it, filling my chest with longing even though I tried hard to suppress it.“Focus,” I whispered to myself, tucking the necklace back into the pocket beneath my battle-worn armour. Right now my duty demands my full attention, and my personal desires and longings would have to wait.The Shallow Land Pack’s surrender was very critical to strengthening our hold over this region. Once we finally had power over them, our pack would definitely be feared and respected amongst other packs.Two nights ago, we managed to capture the enemy Alpha, a victory that shook the Shallow Land Packs army to its very core. But their total surrender was still not fully gua

    FREYA'S POVI paced angrily in my tent, replaying the humiliating defeat by General Kael just moments ago. My pride as a warrior and a princess had been shattered in front of all the soldiers. But beneath all my frustration and anger towards the General, my curiosity was still piqued.General Kael wasn’t like anyone I had ever met before. His strength, his indifference, the cold sharpness in his gaze—all of it fascinated her in a very weird way. He was like a puzzle and I was determined to solve him. The sound of celebration and cheering from the Night pack camp only heightened my anger and frustration, then I made up my mind. I rushed through my tent and tossed on my fur cloak, then I slipped out of my tent and headed toward the big fire and noise.The huge campfire burned brightly, illuminating the Night Fall pack soldiers as they drank and laughed. I remained in the shadow and moved through the crowd unnoticed until I finally spotted Kael sitting alone at the edge of the celebrat

    ISABELLE POVThe morning was unusually cold as I was jolted awake by my maid's hurried voices. The sun had barely risen, as they pulled the covers off my body. I groaned and buried my face into my pillow to avoid the sudden light, but the maids were absolutely relentless.“Princess, you must hurry,” one of them said softly. “The convoy is ready, and Beta Rowan awaits outside.”The mention of the convoy and Rowan quickly brought me back to reality. I quickly washed up and dressed in my travel attire. I was wrapped in a heavy cloak to shield myself from the chills as I stepped outside.Rowan was standing near the convoy, his expression calm but sharp as always. Despite it being still dawn and so early, he looked completely alert.Noticing my sleepy state, Rowan gestured to a smaller, more comfortable car. “This is for you, Princess. So you can rest during the journey.”I was a little shocked by his thoughtfulness as I walked past him. I nodded and climbed into the car without protest.

    KAEL POVThe messenger walked in with a sealed letter and handed it over with a bow.Once he was gone, I tore through the envelope and flipped the paper open.I paced the length of my tent as I read the contents, unable to hold back the excitement bubbling inside me. The word of the message echoed in my mind: The princess and Beta Rowan will arrive in the camp very soon.I didn’t need to ask which princess they referred to. It could only be Isabelle.“Prepare the camp for the arrival of the Beta and the princess” I ordered sharply. “I want everything perfect. Make sure her tent is warm, the bedding is comfortable, and the kitchen is stocked with her favourite dishes. Nothing at all should be out of place.”My men exchanged glances, puzzled by my sudden burst of energy. I knew I was known for my stern and calculated demeanour on the battlefield.One of his lieutenants, a warrior, couldn’t seem to hold back his curiosity. “General,” he started, “why are you so eager today?

    ISABELLE POVAs our convoy moved further to the border and closer to the battlefield, the sun became harsher leaving the cold behind.The thick winter air had been quickly replaced with warmth. I had to shed heavy heavy-lined furs I had been wrapped in for weeks, and chose a lighter dress that swayed with the breeze.Rowan remained very attentive to me throughout the journey, he offered his coat during the cooler nights and always made sure I had a comfortable place to rest. His care was consistent, and that was all the maids gossipped about. In the evening, as we got even closer to the battleground, the envoy paused by the road so I could get down and rest.I stepped out of the car and smiled, taking a huge whiff of the warm spring air.I watched the horizon, marvelling at the beauty of nature around us and then in the distance I suddenly spotted a figure. At first, I thought it had to be one of the guards, but the silhouette moved with a familiar confidence that made my heart inst

I tried to push the thought away and focus on the journey ahead but even as we continued, whispers around me started with faint murmurs, but soon enough, the officials turned the rumours into a storm.So much Speculation about Isabelle’s supposed feelings for General Kael spread like wildfire through the cars.I tried to ignore it but they only got louder. I overheard two guards muttering nearby."Do you think she’s leaning toward Beta Rowan?" one asked.The other shrugged. "She used to chase after him. Maybe she’s decided to leave him for the General."My hands curled into tight fists, my wolf growling within me. The thought of Isabelle being drawn to Kael made something dark twist deep inside my chest.“Enough!” I barked, my voice cold and sharp as I whipped around towards them. The guards immediately snapped to attention, bowing to me.“You will not gossip about the princess,” I warned, in a deadl

I took a deep breath as the hall went silent again.Master Levi's voice rang out, slicing through the ringing in my ears and my nervousness. “The winner of this year’s art competition is Artist Alan!”The applause was deafening, followed by loud cheers, the gasps of approval.It was all overwhelming for a moment.I suddenly felt the floor shift under me, my legs now unsteady as I collapsed back onto my seat.

Today was the art competition and I knew Alan would be in the heat of it right now.Not knowing what was going on there was almost driving me crazy. A knock echoed in the door and my maid walked in with a tray for my lunch.I nodded in response as she walked in and bowed. I stared at the plate for food as she set it gently on the table.But I had no appetite, not when my stomach was churning with anticipation.“I need you to go to the royal arts competition and report back to me all that's happening there,” I ordered.My maid paused on her way out of the door, her wary eyes landing on me before bowing and stepping out.I wrangled my hands in my lap as I waited for her to return.

    KAEL’S POVThe prison was grim as I strode through the halls, impatient to be back outside under the light of the sun and away from the thick stench.Suddenly the walls went alive with the sounds of agony. Guttural screams echoed off the stone walls, each one filled with pain and begging.As a warrior and a general I had already steeled myself against such sounds, but today, these screams made me pause in my steps.It was a woman’s scream—raw and broken.I turned my head toward the direction of the noise. I had come down here just to oversee Axel’s torture and make sure he broke, but now, I was strung with curiosity that led my steps into the depths of the prison. The warden who was leading me through the walls shot me a wary glance but said nothing as he followed.As I got closer to one of the isolated cells and the sounds, the scent of rot and dampness only grew stronger in the air.The iron bars of the cell were wet with moisture, the single torch in the corridor casting shadows.

    KAEL’S POVI felt a slight tremor under my skin as I strode out of the pack hospital. My conversation with Rowan played on my mind.I hope he got my message loud and clear because I wouldn't want him getting between Isabelle and me. Now that she is with me, I would like to keep her as mine.I pushed the thought back as I remembered Tristan’s last command. I need to pay the spy Axel a visit.The prison reeked of blood, sweat, and decay as the warden led me through the halls.The air hugged thick with the metallic stench of pain and suffering, and the dim torchlight in the warden's hands was hardly enough to light the long dark hallways. I strode through the narrow corridor, my boots echoing against the cold floor. The guards standing at the door of his cell gave me a salute as I waited for the warden to unlock the heavy iron door.As the gate screeched open, I stepped in leaning down to get through the low bar.Once my eyes adjusted to the low light, I saw Axel slumped against the woo

    ISABELLE’S POVThe dim candle cast long shadows across the stone walls of the bathhouse, as I stared down the person standing in front of me. Her body was rigid as she took another step out of the shadows, her piercing gaze fixed on me, but I could see the slight tension in her shoulders. She was trying to hide it, but I knew.“You don’t look pleased to see me,” I said, leaning casually against the bathtub. I trailed my fingers over the marble top, looking away from him.She let out a loud exhale, crossing her arms. “I never expected you to be so bold,” she admitted. Her eyes flickered to the exposed skin, my neck down to my collarbone, “Are you not afraid that Kael will discover… us?”I let out a loud laughter. “Afraid?” I repeated, tilting my head with a sky smile. “And why would I be afraid?”She narrowed his eyes at me, and I could see her hands curl into fist. “Because if he finds out, it won’t end well for either of us.”My smirk deepened. “Oh, you misunderstand everything.

    ISABELLE’S POVThe morning light streamed through the tall windows of my chambers, as I stirred in the silk sheets. The heat from last night still lingered in the air. I turned with exhaustion, my movement sending tiny shocks through her muscles and my mind playing a reminder of Kael’s hands on my body, his lips tracing wet kisses along my skin.A gentle knock on the door pulled me away from the memories as I quickly sat up, pulling the sheets closer to my body.“My Lady,” my maid's soft voice called through the door.One of my maids stepped inside, a basin of warm water in her hands. Her cheeks flushed red with heat as her gaze landed on the scattered bed and my naked body was barely covered by the sheets.“What do you want?” I murmured, stretching my hands over my head lazily.She quickly averted her gaze, setting the basin down on a nearby table. “General Kael tended to you this morning,” she said. “He cleaned your wounds and ensured you were comfortable before leaving.”My lips

    KAEL’S POVI could feel the light of dawn seeping through the curtains, casting a golden glow across the princess's chambers. I stirred awake, my body still warm from the lingering heat of the Isabelle sprawled beside me.I looked down at Isabelle, lying asleep against me, her dark lashes resting against her cheeks, and her breathing slow and even. Something tightened in my chest from the sight of her, so calm and vulnerable in her sleep.For a moment, I just watched her, memorizing every detail and feature of her face. The way her lips were slightly parted, the gentle rise and fall of her chest, the faint bruises along her collarbone. I reached out without thinking, my fingers trailing over her skin, before pulling back. I carefully pulled the blanket up, making sure she was well covered.I wanted to stay. But I couldn't.I quietly slipped out of bed, slowly shrugged my clothes back on and cast one last glance at Isabelle before I left.Once I was fully dressed, I slipped through th

    ISABELLE’S POVThe warm steam hung in the air, wrapping me in heat as I leaned against the edge of the bath. Kael stood across from me, his body stiff and his shoulders tense as if he wanted to run away at any moment. I smirked at his obvious discomfort, finding his hesitation cute."You look like you're preparing for battle, General." I teased, lazily running my fingers across the water.Kael let out a sharp breath. "I don't think we should be doing this, princess." He whispered I raised an eyebrow, my eyes shining with amusement. "And yet, here you are."He hesitated for a moment then he shook his head with a defeated chuckle. "You’re relentless.""I would prefer you use the term determined."He laughed his chest rumbling with the low sound and I used the moment to move closer to him, As I closed the distance between us, Kael tensed slightly but still, he didn't pull away. I suddenly turned around, slowly prying the straps of my dress over my shoulder.He let out a gasp, but coul

    ISABELLE’S POVThe air between us was heavy with tension as I stood over Axel with a sly smile. “You need to start talking right now,” I muttered.He looked up at me, his body shaking with rage. I could see he desperately wanted to hurt me, raising his hands towards me with force but the chains held him back.His face was pale from blood loss, but his eyes were locked on mine, flashing with warning and danger.“You think you can endure this, don’t you?” I murmured, “you really think I would let you die so easily and escape your punishment for your crimes?”“There's nothing you can do to make you tell you anything.” He snarled.I chuckled, a low sound that echoed through the room. “You are telling me everything you know.” I was warned.He smirked, but I could see his eyes falter when I pulled out the same poisoned arrow he fired and tried to use to assassinate me.The tip was still stained with Rowan's blood and I didn't bother to clean it.
