LOGINSlyvos woke with a strange heat burning beneath his skin.He opened his eyes slowly.Something was wrong.His breathing was heavier than usual, and his body felt restless, almost as if his own skin had suddenly become too tight.He sat up.The room spun slightly.“Damn it.”He pressed a hand against his forehead.He knew what this was.His rut.But it had come earlier than expected.And it was stronger.Much stronger.Slyvos swung his legs over the side of the bed and tried to stand.His knees nearly gave out.He caught himself against the bedpost.Then it happened.A sharp sensation ran through his chest.The bond.Heloix.Slyvos closed his eyes.“No.”He didn't want to think about him.But the more he tried not to, the stronger the pull became.It was as though some invisible thread had tightened between them.His wolf wanted Heloix.His body wanted the presence of his mate.And his mind wanted absolutely nothing to do with either.Slyvos gritted his teeth.“He's not here.”He force
The council chamber was silent.Heloix sat across from the three elders, his elbows resting against the arms of the ancient wooden chair.Michael stood near the entrance, watching quietly.The oldest elder studied Heloix for a long moment.“You said you found your mate.”Heloix nodded.“Yes.”“And her name?”Heloix's expression hardened.“His name is Slyvos.”The three elders exchanged a glance.None of them looked surprised.That immediately caught Heloix's attention.“You knew.”The oldest elder looked at him.“Knew what?”“That I would find him.”The elder's lips curved into a faint smile.“We knew you would find the one chosen for you.”Heloix leaned forward.“Chosen?”“By the Moon Goddess.”The words made the room feel colder.Heloix stared at him.“What are you talking about?”The second elder, whose long white hair fell over his shoulders, slowly stood.“The Moon Goddess does not make mistakes.”Heloix frowned.“I didn't come here for riddles.”“You came because you want to und
The hidden door closed quietly behind Queen Mother. She pulled her hood over her head and stood still for a moment, listening.Nothing.No footsteps.No voices. No one had followed her.She took a slow breath before walking through the dark passage toward the royal court.She had barely reached the end of the corridor when she heard footsteps.“Mother.”Queen Mother stopped.Slyvos stood several feet away.His clothes were still dusty from his journey from Blackfort. There was a faint cut near his temple, and his expression was unusually hard.His eyes immediately fixed on her.“Where were you?”Queen Mother remained calm.“Why?”“I returned and you were gone.”“I had somewhere to be.”“Where?”She looked away.“I went to pray.”Slyvos stared at her.“To pray?”“To the Moon Goddess.”“Why?”“I was worried.”“About what?”“You.”He gave a short, humorless laugh. “You were worried about me while I was in Blackfort?”“I am your mother.”“That doesn't answer my question.” he said Her eye
The door closed quietly behind Queen Mother. For several seconds, she remained still, listening. Nothing. No footsteps. No voices. No one had followed her.Only then did she lower the hood covering her head and walk toward the ancient stone table at the center of the chamber.Four figures were already waiting for her.Elder Vaelric sat at the head of the table. He was the oldest of the four, his silver hair falling around his shoulders, his sharp eyes carrying the weight of decades of secrets.Beside him sat Elder Rhaevon, whose calm expression rarely revealed what he was thinking.Across from him sat Elder Kaelric, the most cautious of the council.And beside Kaelric sat Elder Zayvorn, who had remained silent since Queen Mother's arrival. Queen Mother took her seat. Vaelric looked at her.“You took too long”“I had to make sure no one followed me.” she answered“Did anyone see you?” “No.”Rhaevon leaned forward. “Then we can speak freely.”Queen Mother nodded.“We have a problem.”K
The capital of Eldoria was no longer quiet. Voices echoed through the streets, growing louder with every passing hour.“An Alpha cannot be mated to another Alpha!”“Where is the strength of our king?”“He has always been too weak!”“Bring back the old royal bloodline!” The words reached the palace walls.Sylvos stood at the highest balcony, listening to the people of his kingdom turn against him.His hands rested against the stone railing.His expression was unreadable, but inside, his wolf was restless.He had expected resistance when the truth about his mate was revealed.He had not expected this. The moment the news of his bond with Heloix spread throughout Eldoria, everything changed.The nobles who had always doubted him finally had something they could use against him.To them, the problem wasn't simply that his mate was another Alpha. It was that the other Alpha was Heloix of Blackfort.Their long-time rival. Their enemy.And worse, they believed Sylvos had finally proven what t
Heloix stepped into the room with micheal behind him quietly. His entire body went rigid as he locked eyes with sylvos, Hiswolf reacted with before his mind could stop it pushing against hisribs with an almost painful longing Mate.Sylvos clenched his jaw.“No.”Jason and micheal looked between them.For a moment, neither of them spoke.The silence was heavier than any argument.“You're awake,” Heloix finally said.Sylvos gave him a cold look.“Unfortunately.” he answered Heloix's expression hardened. MIcheal quietly signalled to Jason with his head “we'll leave you two alone.”Sylvos immediately turned toward him.“Jason—”But Jason was already walking toward the door.Before leaving, he looked at Heloix.“Don't make him faint again.”Heloix's eyes narrowed.“I didn't make him faint.”Jason gave him a knowing look before leaving.The door closed.Silence returned.Sylvos looked away.Heloix walked closer.“Are you feeling better?”“Why do you care?”Heloix stopped.“Because you'r
