"Well, well, well. Look who it is," Toran grinned from ear to ear, approaching the familiar figure he had spotted on the mountain. "Alpha Kael."Kael spun to meet his gaze, a smile creeping onto his face. "Alpha Toran. What a great pleasure," he offered a handshake and Toran accepted."I see you're looking stunning, Alpha Toran. And congratulations on your coronation," Kael beamed, and Toran gave him a light nod.They both shifted their gaze as the ceremony was about to begin. Most of the Alphas, old and new, were exchanging greetings."I never thought I'd actually be here one day. The Lunaris Citadel," Kael mumbled, looking like an excited young pup."This is the Black Mountain, Kael," Toran deadpan."I know, but the fortress is just a stone throw away. I never thought I'd be this close," Kael grinned from ear to ear, his gaze fixated on the towering castle that seemed to touch the night sky. The soft, warm glow accentuated its beauty."It's magnificent.""Indeed," Toran smiled. "Ri

The assassins, however, began to retreat, wanting to escape, but Selene managed to slow them down with her fire.Duncan saw this and immediately pounced on one of them, ripping his head off, blood spilling out and wetting the ground.The last two shifted into their wolf forms, their fangs bared at the terrifying man who approached them with slow steps, his attire marred with blood and dirt.Despite being in their shifted forms, their height was shorter than Duncan’s human form.“Who sent you?” Duncan glared dangerously, but they attacked instead.The first brought his claws to slash at Duncan, but he caught it, tore it away, earning a loud, piercing howl of agony before Duncan slammed him to the ground.The second aimed for Duncan’s back, but Duncan spun just in time and caught him by the muzzle. With terrifying ease, Duncan added force to its mouth, stretching it apart while the wolf struggled desperately until the mouth split, and the wolf went limp.The last one saw he had no chanc

"My Lord," Brigid, finally having the time to see Lord Lucas, couldn't contain her happiness."You?" Lucas raised a brow. "What are you doing here?""Oh, Madam Selene isn't feeling well, so I had to replace her," Brigid explained, but Lucas barely heard her as he was busy discussing matters with some warriors."My Lord, can I see you?" Brigid requested, reaching to touch him but he moved before her hand could touch his clothing."I'm busy. Whatever it is can wait." His voice was dismissive.He left before she could speak again. Brigid's heart fell at her feet. When was this man going to give her a chance? Was she that invincible?For the rest of the celebration, Brigid didn't get a glimpse of him.••••••••Ambassador Wings"There's no commotion. Do you think they succeeded?" Toran asked Magnus whose stood by the window.A beat of silence passed."I'm yet to receive feedback from their leader. She should be dead by now. She is a slave, after all; her death won't cause any uproar."Tora

A little while later, they were soaking in the large bathtub. Arianna, clad only in her thin undergarments, could feel the heat of the king's gaze burning through her skin.She sat at the edge of the tub, Duncan positioned between her legs, as she lathered his long, dark hair with soap. It flowed like silk through her fingers, soft and smooth.How could a man have such beautiful hair?"You have nice hair, your Grace," she whispered, gently scrubbing his scalp with her fingers while the King stared at her.She cleared her throat. "Your Grace, can you turn around?"Not just him staring, it was uncomfortable washing his hair as he was a large male."Call me your Grace again, and you won't be able to walk until tomorrow," he warned. "And I do not want to turn around. I want to stare at you."Arianna swallowed hard, her heart doing a backflip in her chest. His finger trailed a pattern on her arm, moving up to her collarbone and neck, gently caressing the mark on her neck."I can't concentr

"Are you alright?"Toran's voice snapped Kael out of his thoughts, making him tear his gaze away from the King, who sat on his throne, staring down at the entertainment at the center of the hall, radiating dominance."Yeah," Kael cleared his throat, adjusting his already perfectly set attire. "I'm fine.""What do you mean Arianna Greystone was a bastard?" Toran asked, but Kael barely registered his words. His focus remained on the King, who suddenly met his gaze.Kael immediately averted his eyes and tried his best to focus on the entertainment before him."Did you hear my question?" Toran's voice snapped his attention back."Hm?""I asked, why is Arianna a bastard?" Toran repeated, but Kael was so unsettled, sweating profusely."Excuse me," he muttered before rising to his feet and making his way out of the hall to catch his breath.Now outside, Kael swallowed hard, running his fingers through his hair as he gazed up at the sky.He cleared his throat. Why was he so affected? Perhaps
