The rain finally came down in Elyria and it came down heavily like it had been long kept against its will and had just finally broken out of the prison that kept it. Lighthning cracked through the skies and it brought with it the loud rumbling of thunder that cried loudly and violently.

As the strong winds blew and the storm raged outside, Maya and Ivone cuddled under the sheets to keep each other warm. Ivone slept quite soundly, covered up and cuddled by her partner, with the rain serving as a lullaby to her, but Maya on the other hand could not catch a wink of sleep.

She held Ivone sleeping in her embrace and kept her eyes on the curtains as they swayed with the wind that blew into the room, picking and twisting the curtains to dance in the breeze. With each crack of lightening, she felt her heart seize to beat and she looked down at Ivone, wondering how she could be so calmly sleeping in this raging storm.

Without making much of a noise, and as easily as she could, she laid Ivone d

    Lady Ophni felt like the night had been stolen form her as it had fled by and the dawn had arrived with jarring swiftness. Her restless eyes had watched rapid sun's ascent as a harsh reminder of the day's significance, her heart racing with every passing moment. She paced anxiously and fitfully at the foot of the bed, her gaze darting between the window and the room as the morning light crept in.The thought of parting with her daughter today was suffocating and despite Annora's apprent acceptance, Lady Ophni's own emotions remained raw and unyielding, her heart wrestled with the impending separation, her nerves frayed with every passing moment.She recalled the princess' arrival the night before. Corrina Thorold of Nyxoria. The memory still lingered in her mind. The girl's timid demeanor had been striking, her eyes wide with wonder as she stepped down from the chariot that would soon take Annora away to her new life, it had caused Lady Ophni's heart to ache, knowing that her saughter

    "You were arguing earlier, weren't you?" Annora whisper caught her mother off guard as they hugged, her soft voice carrying a hint of curiosity. Her mother disengaged from the hug but she held her close by the arm with a smile on her face, "Was it about the peace treaty condition from Nyxoria?"Lady Ophni's expression shifted from tender to surprise and she shared a brief glance with her husband before returning her focus on her daughter. She disengaged completely from the hug and took a step back, "How did you know about that?"Annora shrugged her shoulders and maintained her smile, "Anything discussed in the throne room cannot be trusted to be kept secret, mother," she rolled her eyes good naturedly, "The servants whisper and the men talk in loud voices. The council members aren't exactly discreet.""Annora," her mother called, her voice trembling with emotions as she grasped her daughter's hands swiftly and squeezed gently, "Just say the word, all you have to say is that you do not

  • Wolf's Bane: Moonlit Forbidden   The Past: Treaty Conditions 1

    "How dare they expect me to be comfortable sending my only daughter to another kingdom over some stupid treat condition!"Lady Ophni's voice echoed through the castle's corridors as she stomped u the stairs, her footsteps heavy with indignation and pounding out a furious rhythm. Alpha Ardon followed closely behind her, his expression was calm but concerned. The letter from Nyxoria had arrived earlier that day, bringing news that none of them had been prepared for. The proposed treaty condition was clear and straight forward: in the interest to forge and solidify the fragile peace between the two kingdoms, they were to exchange one member of the royal family, that way, the peace formed between the two kingdoms would be secured.Lady Ophni's fury was palpable as she reached the top of the stairs, made her way down the hall and to their quarters and pushed the door open. Knowing her husband was behind her, she spun to face him, "My child sent away to a foreign land is a prospect I will n

    "What does that mean for you?" he had asked with his eye brows furrowed into a deep frown. He knew what that meant as the weight of his father's words sank in, but he still needed a little bit of clarity. "Ever since your mother passed away, I have chosen to remain unmated," he explained as his eyes clouded over, "I knew the consequences, what it would cost me, but I had to focus on raising you." Triston was stunned into silence, his face was a mask of calm but his eyes betrayed his turmoil. His mind was still reeling from the revelation and he struggled to find a response. His father had just told him that he was dying and there was nothing that could be done about it. Or was there? "You can still find a mate," desperation crept in as he spoke. It did not show in his voice as he had masked it well, but it was evident in his eyes. Alpha Ardon's laughter was like a low rumbling sound. He choked, coughed and then continued laughing, "How old am I, Triston?" he asked with a chuckle a

    They had called all the physicians they could call in Elyria but Alpha Ardon had turned them all away, saying that he only needed to rest a while to get his health back. Triston had never known his father to have a health issue, he had always been so rigid, like a pillar of strength, so when he had been told that his father had slumped suddenly, it had sent him into a panic. He had abandoned everything he had been doing without hesitation and as he ran all the way up to his fathers' quarters, his mind was filled with the worse case scenarios, his concern for his father's condition driving him to hurry. When he finally arrived the chambers, he was out of breath, his heart racing with worry. He was met with an eerie silence, the only sound was the soft rustling of the curtains in the breeze.Alpha Ardon laid in bed, supported by a stack of pillows that seemed to be holding him upright, providing more than just physical support. Despite his weakened state, he did not look like a man on

    Reyes went back to the exact same spot he had been standing on the veranda after he had left the meeting room. His gaze was piercing as he gazed out to the forest and his frown remained, a testament to his deep contemplation. Although he seemed distracted, he was actuely aware of Dathan's presence beside him, waiting for him to say something because he knew his Delta had something eating him up on the inside concerning his declaration earlier. His move to lunch an attack on Elyria had been fueled by the need to and by his own personal reasons, his deep seated hatred for Triston for the death of his sister, Maya. He had predicted her death even before then and he had vene come to terms that sometimes some things or some people would have to be sacrificed for the greater good, to achieve a greater purpose and he had even counted his sister as one of such persons, but when it had come down to that and he had watched her die in his arms, he came to the realization that he actualy would n

    His wolf's voice echoed in his mind, whispering a single word that sparked a maelstorm of emotions."Mate..."He stood on the veranda overlooking the courtyard with his gaze fixed on the stone railing as his thoughts churned and his mind wandered. Hours had passed since they had returned from the forest and the sun was still rising, casting a warm glow over the lndscape, yet he had been pacing this spot, lost in thoughts.His hands were clasped behind his back, his fingers drumming a slow rhythm as he struggled to make sense of his wolf's claim."Mate?" he whispered to himself, a frown etched across his eyebrows, "Of all the impoddible nonsense that could confuse me..." his words trailed off, leaving the question unanswered and hanging in the air.He was mated to Zina, bound by a committment that could not easily be broken. The idea of being mated to another was an unthinkable fantasy, a mythical notion with no basis in reality, and yet his wolf had sensed something different, somethi

    "Is it possible for someone to steal another person's scent?"Ivone's question hung in the air, a perculiar look on her face as she asked Triston. The silence between them had been uncomfortable but her sudden question had shattered the tranquility. The query seemed to have come out of nowhere and Triston's eyes narrowed slightly as he studied her face, his eyes locking onto hers with an unspoken question.It had been almost an hour since her emotional outburst and hse had been quiet, lost in thoughts. He had been watching her, trying to guage her mood. She sat up in bed, propped against a stack of pillows, the near empty plates on the food tray testement to her having eaten. His gaze lingered on her half eaten meal before returning to her face. His expression was thoughtful, his eyes crankling at the corner and searching her expression for clues, trying to decipher the meaning behind her question and about what had prompted her to ask."What makes you ask that?" he paused, his eyes

    Ivone's eyes slowly fluttered open, the warm golden light that spilled into the room like honey through the open windows took her a while to adjust to as they danced around, casting a gentle glow on her features. She lay still, her foggy gaze drifting lazily around the slightly familiar space as she struggled to grasp the fragmented memories that lingered in her mind like wisps of smoke. Her thoughts were foggy, like they were shrouded in a blanket of thick mist, her recollection was disjointed and her memories seemed to hover just out of reach.As she stirred, attempting to sit up, a gentle pressure on her hand drew her attention. She turned her head to the side only to see Triston, slumped beside her. He sat on a low stool with his head restig against the mattress. His hands craddled hers, holding them protectively as if guarding a precious treasure. His eyes were closed, his face relaxed, his breathing slow and peaceful and his features softened in sleep. For a moment, Ivone's hear
