Ember Frost's POV I had a fantastic day, and the best part was spending it with Orion. Somehow, fate had changed, and we quickly became very close. Not long after, I found myself missing him. Being with him was far more exciting than watching my parents struggle with the endless bureaucracy at the palace. But I had no choice—my duty was to follow them, helping out with whatever small tasks I could. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was a lesson in dealing with the kind of frustrating problems that made everyone want to pull their hair out.As the future Queen, there were duties I couldn’t escape, and this was one of them. To wear the golden crown came with sacrifices that most couldn’t even fathom. If I was to bear this responsibility, I knew I’d have to endure whatever came with it.The morning flew by quickly as I focused entirely on my tasks. I really wished I could go out with Orion like we did yesterday, but he had other obligations. I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that we would

Ember Frost's POV Everyone around me already had their werewolves living inside them; even Orion had his. I was the only one left without mine, but I’d never seen a werewolf before and had no idea what one looked like. My parents thought I’d be upset if they let me see their wolves, so they always kept them hidden from me. Because of this, I was constantly surrounded by people with their wolves, yet I’d never caught a glimpse of one, not even by accident. When I got home today, I planned to act extra cute and sweet, hoping to persuade them to let me see their werewolves finally.Miss Giovanni's voice grew louder, snapping me back to reality. "The first phase of the transformation is the most excruciating and the easiest to fail. The only way to ease it a bit is to let it happen naturally; don’t try to force it. Once the first change is complete, the rest will be smooth sailing, and you'll become a werewolf who can shift at will."She based her analysis on research and case studies to

Owen Greystone’s POV Late into the night, I sat at my desk, drowning in the paperwork that had accumulated throughout the day. Klaus, my Beta, had long since fallen asleep in the corner, his body finally succumbing to exhaustion. I had told him to rest, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop. Lately, the pressure had been overwhelming, and Klaus, who had spent the day tirelessly recruiting soldiers, deserved his break. Now, it was my turn to face the mountain of paperwork. I couldn’t help but appreciate Klaus’s dedication. Having him as my Beta was a blessing; there truly wasn’t anyone more dedicated than him.Every day, the routine was challenging, and people couldn’t stop complaining. But he? He moved through it like it was nothing, just doing what needed to be done without a second thought. For me, though, it wasn’t just about getting through the motions. I kept going because I felt it was my duty to protect my pack. They were mine to look after, and no one else was going to do it.A

Owen Greystone’s POV I had a brief conversation with the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack. He seemed far more aggressive than when we first met, though I couldn’t blame him. His beloved daughter was about to leave with a young werewolf to join another pack, all after just one night of meeting. No father in his position would be pleased.After I finished talking to him, he had a long conversation with Ethan. Klaus and I waited in the hallway. That kid was really fortunate to find his mate so fast. At least this time, we wouldn’t be returning empty-handed.So long as one of us found a mate, my parents wouldn’t have any reason to push me out of the pack. At least, that’s what I hoped.Ethan and the Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack stepped out, both smiling. It was obvious that Ethan had struck luck, being able to claim such beauty as his mate.We spent an extra two days there before heading back to our pack. Ethan and his mate were so into each other that I couldn't help but notice, while

Ember Frost’s POV A whole year flew by before I even realized it. My life had been so fun that time seemed to move so quickly. It felt like I’d stepped into a new world, one where adventures were always just around the corner. Adventures were my thing, and except for the time I spent with Orion, they were the highlight of my days.Hanging out with Orion was always a good time. He had this fantastic sense of humor and knew all these weird, interesting things that kept the mood light. We talked about everything under the sun. But no matter how much I pushed, he wouldn’t tell me what his mate looked like. I had a feeling she’d put him through some tough stuff, so he didn’t want to talk about her or have anything to do with her.We were different. I’d managed to move on from the pain Owen left in my heart. I thought he cared for me when we shared that kiss, but he shattered all my hopes when he rejected me so harshly. I still remember his cruel words during the lonely nights, but they no
