The battlefield was empty and quiet, only the crimson grass showed evidence of the bloody battle that had taken place there before. Darina was beyond exhausted, but on trembling feet she reached the last person still sitting on the hill and sat beside him. He had no visible injuries, but he looked broken, as if his heart and soul had been wounded."How could she? I loved her, I trusted her, and she was ready to lose Kai in battle just for more power." King Lucas whispered, still not ready to fully accept the truth.Darina stared far off into one spot and replied softly, her voice carrying the weight of today’s events. "Sometimes people change and sometimes they don’t. She gave up Jake for power before, and now she was ready to do the same with Kai. Her hunger for power consumed her."King Lucas’s voice trembled. "But how did I not feel it? How didn’t I notice? It is all my fault.""No. We all believed her, and it is no one’s fault."He si

The bright sunrays shining on her face woke Darina. She buried her face in Kai's pillow, inhaling his scent. Her body ached—she hadn’t rested, and today was supposed to be a tough, long day. Her heart clenched. Not because Kai wasn’t in bed, or because she had to shower and eat breakfast without him. She had often done that on the days when he had early training or meetings. No, it was from the realization that every day she looked forward to seeing him—in the day, in the evening, at night. But today, that was impossible. He was gone. “We will find him. We must,” Coral tried to soothe her. Everything afterward was a blur—shower, dressing, meetings, the funeral, the feast to thank the pack and allies. Tears, cheers, happy words, and wails of sorrow merged into one endless sound. Darina felt like a doll—smiling, talking, supporting—while her thoughts drifted far away. “Darina, but do you still feel the mate bond?” Cassandra’s voice grounded her, pulling her back to reality. It was la

During the flight and car ride, Darina was restless. Her friends were chatting, napping, and having snacks. But her throat was dry, and she had no appetite. She forced herself to take a few bites of chicken sandwich as her pup needed nutrition. Darina gently brushed her palm over her stomach. She had told no one except the king about her pregnancy, knowing they would try to stop her from going on the rescue mission.On the flight, Will sat next to her.“Nervous?” he asked.“A little,” she replied, then added with a sigh, “actually… a lot.”Will chuckled.“Is my stress amusing you now?” she snapped.“No, I’m sorry. It’s just déjà vu,” he said softly. “Do you remember a few months ago when we were on the plane to the Royal Pack? You were about to be engaged to Kai, and you said the same thing. You were furious at your father for pushing you into arranged marriage, you despised Kai, and you were afraid you wouldn’t fit as queen.”She nodded, old memorie

Atlas did not joke about the cold. Werewolves usually did not get cold, and though Darina lay near the fire, she was shivering, her teeth chattering from the piercing chill. The cold did not seem to bother Atlas at all. He smiled shamelessly again, opening his arms teasingly. "Last time I offer this, little wolf—come sleep in my arms. I pity you so much right now that I’m ready to skip the most interesting part—the sex—and just keep you warm." Darina sighed. She was freezing, but the thought of being in another man’s arms rather than her mate’s did not sit right with her. Atlas snapped his fingers, and a large blanket of black fur appeared in his hands. He covered Darina gently. The warmth enveloped her, and her eyelids grew heavy. "Thank you," she muttered, ready to pass out. Suddenly, loud howls echoed in the night. Darina’s eyes snapped open. It was no wolf’s howl—the sound was eerie and terrifying. "Do not worry, just wild dogs," Atlas soothed. "Ancestors of Cerberu

Darina woke up with the first rays of sunlight and caught Atlas staring at her. She knitted her brows, and he frowned.“What? Spirits don’t sleep, and there’s literally nothing to do.”She huffed and sat up, removing the furs, which vanished instantly.Atlas passed her a tray with cheese, fruit, cereal, and juice.“Thank you,” she said, though uncertain if she should eat.“Not poisoned, I promise,” he joked.“I’m just not very hungry,” she murmured, but popped a grape into her mouth anyway. It was delicious, so she decided to try the rest of the food.“I’m just wondering, once you reach Ares’s palace, what will you do?” Atlas asked curiously.Darina slowly took a sip of juice, savouring the flavour before replying, “I’ll see. Negotiate, probably.”Atlas tried to hide a smile and hold back his mocking tone but couldn’t resist. “What can you, a mere mortal, possibly offe
