Devon POV

The cameras flashed like lightning across a black sky, casting false halos around our heads. Eleanor stood beside me at the entrance to the VIP section of the Grand La’Vidolis Hall, her hand looped through mine, her smile gleaming like a weapon.

To the world, we were picture-perfect, the President and First Lady of Astria. Regal. Poised. United.

Inside, I was dying.

This wasn’t where I should be.

I knew I shouldn’t be here.

I should’ve been halfway to Woodland by now, on my way

  • The President's Mate   EPILOGUE: The Crimson Omen

    JIMMIE POV“Clem, wait!”My lungs were on fire as I ran through the thick, mangled underbrush of the forest. The moonlight cut through the canopy in jagged flashes of silver, illuminating the back of my cousin’s head as she led the way through the ancient pines.“Come on, Jimmie! Catch me if you can!” Clem’s laughter echoed through the trees, a musical, taunting sound."This isn't funny anymore! I can’t keep up!" I screamed into the night, my heart thudding against my ribs."Don't be a chicken, Jimmie!" Her response sounded distant now, fading into the rustle of leaves and the hoot of an owl.I rolled my eyes, pushing my legs to move faster. I was so happy to see her again—to feel this carefree, even if it was just a game. I burst through the final line of trees, stumbling into a vast open space, but the laughter died in my throat. I froze.The mood had changed. The living woods were gone, replaced by a clearing thick with a dense, chilling white fog."Clem?" I called out. No response.

  • The President's Mate   Chapter 164 Wolves & Moonlights

    Jimmie POVThe hum of the limo’s engine was a low, steady vibration that felt like a purr against my skin. I rested my head on Devon’s chest, the expensive wool of his suit jacket soft against my cheek, and let out a breath I felt like I’d been holding for years.I still couldn’t believe it. The summit, the sea of flashes, the way the world held its breath when Devon claimed me in front of everyone. The kisses... God, the kisses. I could still feel the phantom pressure of his lips on mine, a brand that told the world exactly who I belonged to.As the car sped through the darkened streets of Astria toward the new pack house, I let my mind wander. We had moved months ago, and Woodland was finally breathing again. It wasn't just a fortress anymore; it was a home. We’d even opened a wing for visitors—humans who wanted to see the legend for themselves. Stella had taken to her role as the pack librarian and tour guide with a grace that made the transition seamless.And the boys... my heart

    ~~ A Month Later~~DEVON POVThe flashbulbs were a rhythmic, blinding staccato against the evening sky. A month had passed, but the world’s hunger for the truth had only grown ravenous."Mr President! Over here!""President Devon, a statement on the rumours!"The shouts of the global press corps were a wall of sound as Jimmie and I stepped out of the black armoured vehicle. I didn't let go of his hand. Not for a second. We were both dressed in perfectly tailored midnight-black suits, the fabric shimmering slightly under the heavy spotlighting of the Vahsava Summit’s grand entrance.This night had been postponed three times. First by the insurgency, then by the mourning of our fallen, and finally by the sheer logistical weight of hosting the world’s leaders in a country that had just revealed it was led by a predator. I knew why they had come. It wasn't just for trade agreements or border treaties; they wanted the "President’s Mate." They wanted to see the man who had tamed the Silver A

  • The President's Mate   Chapter 162 Half Of Sunrise

    Devon PovThe cool evening breeze felt like a balm against the lingering heat of the day's politics. I stood at the edge of the limestone cliff, my hands shoved deep into my pockets, watching the lifeblood of my pack move below."Hey, Devon."I didn't need to turn to know it was Franco. His scent—cedarwood and rain—mixed with the mountain air as he came to stand beside me."Hey," I responded, my voice barely a ripple.My mind was still echoing with Langston’s parting shot. I could still see the way his eyes hardened as he stepped into the black armoured vehicle, the gold pipe gripped between his teeth. “Devon, remember, we don’t have time. We will be waiting for a response. Astria will be waiting.” The weight of a nation was on one side of the scale, but as I looked down at the courtyard, the other side of the scale felt infinitely heavier.The scene below was a masterpiece of serenity. The pack house, glowing with amber light from the windows, spilt out into a bustling courtyard. Mot

  • The President's Mate   Chapter 161 New Dawn II

    Devon POv"Unauthorised?"It was Jimmie’s voice speaking now, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees. "You dare term what we did as unauthorised?!"Rowe tried to defend herself, her hands fluttering. "That’s not what I intended to say—""That’s exactly how it sounds," Jimmie cut her off, his voice soft but like tempered steel. "Are you by any chance trying to tell us we acted irrationally? That while our son was being held and our friends were dying, we should have waited for a signature from a human court?"There was a moment of absolute silence as all eyes turned to Rowe and Langston. The Elders stood as one behind us, a wall of white silk and silent power, and Franco moved a half-step closer to my side, his hand resting visibly on his belt.Langston, ever the seasoned diplomat, felt the predatory tension thickening in the room. He knew the atmosphere had shifted against them, the scent of stagnant human fear clashing with the iron-willed resolve of the pack. He

    Devon POVMy voice thundered through the prison chamber, vibrating against the stone walls.“What do you want?” I demanded, the words rolling out of me like a strike of thunder.Clementine’s lips tugged into that faint smile—the kind that wasn’t really a smile but a secret waiting to be spoken. She

    Clementine POV What! Why did everything about Klaus have to be a damn soap opera, for god’s sake?

    Clementine POVThe ride downtown was too quiet. Eerily quiet. Normally, Klaus couldn’t shut up—he was a loudmouth, always teasing, always finding new ways to get under my skin. But tonight?
