ESTHER’S POV They thought I wouldn’t hear them. The fucking morons! But I did and every word uttered.I stood behind the arched wooden doorway, barefoot on the cold floor, the hem of my borrowed robe dragging like ash behind me. Now that I was like an outcast, all the old

ASHINA’S POV In an instant, everything replayed in my mind. I was wondering if I was dreaming or how did it all start.I had frozen the instant I had heard his voice. Alpha Boris. His tone cut clean through the bustle around me like a blade through silk, firm but warm, impossibly familiar.My heart had leapt to my

ASHINA’S POV“How much have you missed me?”His voice struck me like a match against dry bark, flaring something inside me that I hadn’t allowed myself to feel for weeks.I froze, my breath tangled in my chest. The question hung between us, thick and electric, as if even the wind dared not disturb this moment.I looked at him, really looked at him, for the first time since his return. His face was more drawn than I remembered, a faint shadow beneath his eyes betraying the weight he carried. Yet his fierce eyes still burned for me. There was not even a flicker of doubt that lived there. I could only spot fire.“How much?” he asked again, softer now, stepping forward like a predator who knew his prey wouldn’t run.I tried to look away, but he caught my chin in his hand in a very gentle manner.“Tell me,” he said, his voice thick with emotion.I swallowed hard. “Too much,” I whispered. “I missed you more than I could admit to myself—every night. Every time I looked at the stars and wonde

ASHINA’S POVWhat? Boris knew about this? That was why he had been so gloomy and reflective all this time. But I found it pointless for the Queen to discuss this matter in front of me.Still, she was the queen and her aim was to create a rift between us or just point out that Boris had been hiding things from me.Now it made sense… The ‘they’ he was referring to was the Queen, or who knew, perhaps the King was involved as well?“You gave me emotion,” she said, lifting her chin. “But emotion has no place in the politics of power.”There was a moment of silence thick with unspoken words. I could feel the heat of Boris’ gaze on me, but I kept my posture straight. I wouldn’t plead. I wouldn’t beg.Then Queen Elira smiled. She flashed a dangerous one.“Of course, you’re free to spend some time with your... guest. But remember what’s at stake.”She turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Boris and me standing alone in the wide, echoing hall.His voice, when it came, was quiet.“She won’

ASHINA’S POVThe moment King Dragor summoned me from the palace library, I felt the gravity of what was to come. The puppy whimpered in my hand, the words melting into a blur as Boris stepped towards me, concern etched across his face.“Should I accompany you?” he asked, his voice low but firm.I looked up at him, heart hammering, but I shook my head. “No. I need to face him alone.”I notice Boris’ eyes turn red and then return to their golden hue. It must be Orion's feeling that something was wrong and that he should be here to protect me.I leaned in closer to Boris’ face and looked directly into his eyes.“Don’t worry, Orion… I’ll be back soon.”Then I kissed Boris’ lips gently and said, “Take care of the pup, while I’m away.”I handed over the puppy to Boris.“Sure, I will,” he reassured.Boris hesitated, his golden eyes searching mine for some flicker of doubt. There was plenty, but I buried it deep. This was my duty, my tribe and my decision. With a nod, I turned away, the quiet
