The Last Night

Ember Frost’s POVTechnically, Lyra was no longer the theatre club's president. The position had already been passed down to one of the younger members after her graduation.Before she left the academy for good, though, the club asked her to come back one last time. Not as president, but as the director of their farewell performance.To them, it was the perfect graduation gift. They wanted to give her one last standing ovation and, more importantly, let her take the stage as the person they trusted most to lead the production they had worked so hard to bring to life.As the actress playing the ethereal Crystal Lake Maiden glided across the stage, Lyra couldn't help but smile. A quiet wave of nostalgia settled over her, bittersweet and warm, as memories of everything she'd shared with the club came rushing back."I really was lucky to meet someone who loves the same things I do," she said with a smile. "Honestly, when I joined the theatre club, I wasn't chasing some big dream. I only n

The Lost Princess

Ember Frost’s POVThe school officials had already taken their seats, but the ornate chair at the center of the stage remained empty. Unlike the others, it stood apart, clearly reserved for someone of far greater importance. The principal and the senior staff exchanged eager smiles and hushed conversations, unable to hide their excitement. The pride on their faces made it obvious how much they valued the King's visit.Today was my graduation.It was also the day the truth would finally come to light.For years, I had lived like any other student, blending into the crowd. But once this ceremony ended, that life would be over. I would no longer be just another graduate walking off this campus.From this moment on, the world would know me for who I truly was—Princess Celeste.I couldn't stop wondering what my life would look like after today.Everything was about to change, but I had no idea what was waiting for me on the other side. Would this new chapter bring happiness, or would it b

A Crown's Weight

Ember Frost’s POVThe moment the cameras turned toward me and my voice echoed through the microphone, reaching far beyond the ceremony, I knew my life had changed forever.I watched the expressions in the crowd shift. Their shock faded into uncertainty, then slowly gave way to admiration, respect, and quiet devotion. The girl they had known as the ordinary Ember was gone. Standing before them now was someone else entirely—Celeste, the princess of the werewolf pack, a name that now carried authority, honor, and the weight of expectation.From that day on, there would be no such thing as living quietly. Like the cameras recording every second of the ceremony, countless eyes would always be on me. Every word I spoke, every choice I made, and every step I took would be watched, questioned, and judged. My life was no longer just my own.The ordinary life I had always taken for granted was gone. In its place came a responsibility I could never put down. When it was time for the graduation

Friends, Always

Ember Frost’s POV“But you’re not just Ember anymore,” Lyra said quietly, still trying to make sense of everything. “You’re a princess. We’re just... ordinary people. Until today, we had no idea who you really were, and now we find out you’re the Moon Goddess herself...” She let out a small, nervous laugh and shook her head. “I don't even know what I'm trying to say anymore.”I smiled and gently stopped her before she could say anything else. Leading them over to the sofa, I handed each of them a chilled glass of pineapple juice.“Here,” I said. “Drink this first. The two of you look like you're about to faint.”Once they had settled down, I looked at both of them.“Listen to me,” I said. “Nothing has changed between us. There isn't an 'Ember' and a 'Celeste.' They're the same person. The girl you've laughed with, argued with, and spent time with is still standing right here.”I smiled softly.“Yes, my life is different now, and I have responsibilities I didn't have before. But I'm st

The Secret Is Out

Ember Frost’s POV“Seriously?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “I’m a princess, and he’s a military commander. Escorting me and keeping me safe is literally part of his job.”Freya pressed her lips together. "Fine. Since you're so determined to overthink everything, I guess we'll have to reveal it." I frowned. "Reveal what?" She nodded with a completely straight face. “A traveling dessert wagon.”I blinked at her. “A dessert wagon? That's your big secret? You're seriously trying to distract me with dessert?”Freya let out an exaggerated sigh and folded her arms. “You really won't believe anything until it's right in front of your face, will you?”She looked far too pleased with herself, like she'd finally found the proof she needed that Orion and I were more than just friends. I couldn't help feeling a little exasperated. Why did I practically hand her the answer?The more I thought about it, the more tiring it felt to keep pretending. Hiding something this important from the people c

One Last Chance

Ember Frost’s POVTwo cars were already waiting for us. Eira, Jessie, and Riley exchanged a quick look before getting into the first car with the driver, leaving me no choice but to ride alone with Orion.Thanks to Lunaris, the alcohol didn't stay in my system for long. By the time we'd driven through a couple of intersections, the fog in my head had already begun to lift.We stopped at a red light. Without saying anything, Orion reached into the bag beside the front seat, took out a thermos, and held it out to me."Drink this," he said softly. "It'll help."I unscrewed the lid and found warm hangover soup Millie had made. The heat seeped into my hands as I held it, and the familiar aroma alone eased the pounding in my head.I took a few sips. By the time I swallowed, the ache behind my eyes had already begun to fade. I smiled and looked over at him."You know," I said, "you're acting like a worried old man taking care of his kid." Orion looked at me, completely thrown off. "An old m

Will You Marry Me?

Ember Frost’s POVOrion suddenly eased off the gas and steered the car onto the shoulder.I frowned and looked at him. "What's wrong? Did we forget something?"He didn't answer. After a brief pause, he pushed open the driver's door and got out.I watched him in confusion as he walked around the car. Instead of getting back into the driver's seat, he opened the rear door and slid in beside me.I blinked at him. "My dress..." I said, glancing at the garment bag. "It's for the wedding party."Without a word, he picked up the bag and carefully set it on the front passenger seat. Then he turned back to me.His eyes met mine, calm but unusually serious. One look was enough to tell me this wasn't just a random stop. Whatever he wanted to say, it mattered.His serious expression made me sit up without thinking. The back seat suddenly felt much smaller, the silence between us stretching until it became almost unbearable.I searched his face. "Orion... what's going on? Why are you looking at me

A Moonlit Promise

Ember Frost’s POV“A moonlit vow?” I stared at him, completely dumbfounded. “How is that even possible? I always thought an oath was just... an invisible bond between two people. Are you saying the Moon Goddess leaves behind a jewel as proof for whoever makes one?”Orion shook his head. “Not exactly. This only appeared after you restored my body.” He glanced at the ring on my finger before looking back at me. “My guess is that, now that I walk your divine path, I can't ask the Moon Goddess to witness my vows anymore. But the oath itself didn't disappear. It simply changed form... and became this.”“So... it turned into a gemstone?” I whispered, still trying to wrap my head around it.My eyes drifted to the diamond set into the wedding band.Bathed in soft moonlight, it sparkled with an almost unreal beauty. Five different colors glimmered deep within the stone, shifting and blending as though tiny pieces of the night sky had been sealed inside it.“When I first found the diamond, I th
