Semua Bab My Fated Enemy: Bab 71 - Bab 80

KAIRAI hadn't slept that night. Dearon and I had stayed in the Moon Cave until dawn and then watched the sun climb over the Airgead Hills. He either held me in his arms or held my hand in his, and I loved every second I felt his touch. This kind of intimacy was new to me, but it melted my heart completely.I tried not to think about tomorrow, but the sticky tendrils of restlessness had already begun to spread. The morning would change everything. Of course, a lot would change for the better. Once we returned to Oryndale, I wouldn't be locked up in a prison cell. I would officially become a free member of the Moon Shadow Pack. I would become Dearon's strategist, his warrior, his advisor, the respected wolf…I should have been ecstatic. Such a position used to be nearly unachievable for me. No position Jarith had ever given me had been official, but now, I would be acknowledged by everyone. I should have been thrilled, and a part of me was. But even this new kind of freedom had its lim

‘Dearon, where are you?’ I called out through the link as I ran through the hallway. ‘This is urgent!’I felt as if my voice collided with a wall. He must have blocked his mind link to focus. Gods, he couldn't have chosen worse timing. Cursing under my breath, I ran upstairs and turned into a hallway leading to the throne room. Two guards stood outside, their eyes turned to me as I approached.“Is Alpha inside?” I pointed at the large doors.One of them shook his head. “No. He's in his study room on the second floor. I heard he was meeting with our Generals.”I gave the guards a curt nod before turning around and running back to the stairs. The muscles in my legs burned, and my hands trembled, but I clenched my teeth and quickened my steps. We had no time to waste. I had to tell Dearon about Narellia…I hadn't seen Dearon since the meeting in the throne room. He had briefly told me he'd had to inspect our army and that I should focus on my training with Saura. In theory, if I barged i

Torin froze by my side, studying me as if he wondered if I had gone insane. “Kaira… Are you sure you want to do this?”“This is the only way,” I muttered before turning my gaze to the cocky Commander. “What will you say, Korad?”The dickhead burst into cold laughter, and half of those around him followed suit. “It's almost adorable you think you can win.”I shrugged. “I have to try. This mission is far more important than my ego.”“We're talking about one useless village,” he hissed. “I won't risk my warriors' lives—”“They serve Korendorr by risking their lives!” Torin roared. “And no matter if it's Narellia or any other village in this kingdom, they should be more than willing to protect it!”Korad rolled his eyes. “This village has no strategic value. It's meaningless.”I stepped toward him. “And what if your parents or your siblings lived there? Would their lives also be meaningless?” I snarled.He barked out a laugh. “Please… I come from a long line of Oryndale's wolves. Don't ev

I could hear my wolf growling in my head as I walked to the largest and most elegant meeting room Oryndale's castle could offer. I had asked the servants to escort Princess Auretta there. The rest of the officials would be received by the council members in the audience hall. I hoped I would join them soon, but first, I had to deal with the spoiled princess.I drew a deep breath and opened the door. My eyes instantly landed on Auretta standing by the large window with her back to me. She was dressed in a long, green gown embroidered with golden threads. Her light brown hair was left loose, falling down her shoulders and back in graceful waves.I closed the door and slowly walked toward her. “Princess Auretta.”She turned around, offering me a seemingly kind smile. She reached for the sides of her lush skirt and curtsied. “Alpha Dearon.”My one brow rose an inch. Did she think I could be fooled by her sudden meekness? I had seen her a few times while I'd been in Farindoria's capital, T

DEARON“I believe we're making a huge mistake,” Sungur grunted as he scratched his gray beard. “What if we lose too many of our warriors in this battle?”“We might not have a choice,” Garbhan muttered, staring at the large map in my study.I had gathered the Generals and moved away from the audience hall, leaving the council to deal with the Farindorian officials and Auretta. Of course, not everyone was pleased after I had rejected her offer, but I knew this help would have its cost, one we were not ready to pay.I could have used Torin's help right now, not that I regretted sending him with Kaira, but I needed someone outside the council to handle those Farindorian bastards, especially with Vulir and Morvan so eager to accept their every demand.“It'll take three days to gather enough warriors by the border,” Ameer said, pointing at the marked spots.“We don't have three days,” I gritted out. “Our scouts reported that the Eudoris army is on the move. “They should reach the Ardor Vall
