Chapter 31

Then he reached out, resting a firm hand on my shoulder.“You don’t have to carry it alone.” That was harder to hear than any criticism because it meant something I did not often hear.“I am not alone,” I said.His gaze sharpened slightly.“No?”“Who stands with you, then?”The question lingered longer than it should have. For a brief, dangerous second, Gina's face crossed my mind, her dark eyes and steady gaze standing out in the shadows of memory.Soft dark eyes with a steady gaze, having a perpetual defiant look even when silent.I shut down the thought immediately. It was irrelevant and complicated, but still somehow connected to the situation.“My warriors,” I answered.It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t the full truth either.He studied me quietly for a long while, like he knew something but chose not to press.“Ver

Chapter 32

POV: CalebKeith’s words lingered in the air, poking me in the gut.“I thought your interest was because you claimed her, or am I wrong?”The training grounds suddenly felt too small.Around us, warriors sparred beneath the pale morning light. Metal clanged. Wolves barked orders. Sweat, dirt, aggression, dominance, everything smelled sharp in the cold air.But beneath it all, I could still scent her.Olives, warm skin. Something dangerously addictive about her.My jaw tightened.Keith immediately straightened. “Forgive me, Your Highness. I overstepped.”“You did,” I replied coldly.Yet I didn’t dismiss him because the truth was irritatingly close to what he implied.I had not claimed Gina, not officially, at least not in the sacred sense wolves understood. All my actions since I met her had thoroughly exposed her to the limelight, and I am continually drawn like a moth to a flame; even mated wolves did not need to do as much to their claimed chosen mates.Even Trey…Trey had stopped p

The look on the maids’ faces made me want to laugh. They seemed stunned, as if I’d told them to slap themselves. I’d never personally invited anyone into my chambers before.Not like this.I ignored their shock and entered first. A second later, I heard her footsteps follow.The doors closed behind us, and the room went quiet. My chambers felt smaller with her there, but this was exactly what I wanted.She stopped several feet away, posture straight. I guess she was trying to remain professional.Trying very hard.I removed my gloves slowly. “You’re nervous.”“I think any sane person would be.” She replied.“Hm.”I studied her openly now; her scent had changed again.Still human, yet beneath it…something else stirred. It was wild and awake; I am baffled by how a human scent can seem to grow, change, and transform right before my eyes.

Chapter 34

POV: GinaThe moment Prince Caleb left the room, my knees nearly gave out. I stood there beside his desk, staring at the closed doors like they had personally betrayed me.What in the actual hell was wrong with me?My fingers lifted slowly to my throat, where his breath had touched moments ago. The skin still felt warm. Sensitive, I felt alive in a way I haven’t felt in my two lives.The room smelled overwhelmingly like him now: smoky pine mixed with the smell of earth after it had just rained, all steel and male. It wrapped around me like invisible hands, making my thoughts slippery.“Get it together, Gina,” I whispered harshly.Instead, my body replayed every second, the way he looked at me, his voice at it deepened when he got close. The way his hand settled against my waist like it belonged there.God.Back on earth, men had flirted with me before. Some handsome. Some were charming, a few had dangerous auras due to the nature of the job, but nothing like this.Caleb did not flirt.

Chapter 35

Oh, it's Mary, I haven’t seen her in a while now. “Ok, thank you, I will be right out,” I replied to the girl.I gave myself a once-over at the mirror to be sure my flushed cheeks had receded. Mary could be quite perceptive sometimes, and I didn’t want her asking questions I am not ready to answer. My heart was still pounding far too loudly, and I pressed my palms to the edge of the basin of the bathroom, willing myself to breathe more slowly. What if she sees straight through me? Anxiety curled through my stomach, tightening with every passing second. I didn't know if I was more afraid of her kindness or her curiosity&

Chapter 36

POV: CalebMother summons again, her timing is always perfect. The knock from the guard had stopped me from doing what I had only imagined in my quiet times, when my self-control was taut, and my mind roved free in lust. Still, I know it can only delay the inevitable wanting and need that I have come to live with these days; the craving need must be assuaged.Back to the queen, she always finds a way to influence a show of authority, now that we have noted unusual activities on the border. I am certain she would want to be a part of the decision process of who does what.Sometimes I wonder if she is more politically inclined or if she just likes to meddle. If it's not within her sphere of control, the situation is not allowed to happen.When I was younger, she was more laid back, hands off, only sticking to queen duties, but ever since that time, when the nobles revolted, and we lost almost all. She had made sure to be a critical part of any activity.Not that I mind, mother’s sugges

Chapter 37

Chaos? The word sent a chill through me. She walked past me with her usual grace, making it clear the conversation was over. That was just like my mother, always asking questions, never giving answers, but still she expected her orders to be obeyed.But she is wrong this time. Even if chaos comes, we’ll deal with it. Still, as I left her chambers, unease followed me down the corridor like a shadow. Gina’s scent lingered on my skin, warm olives and light beneath everything else.All mine.I exhaled sharply, dangerous thinking, but it calmed nevertheless. I may be dragging, enjoying the consistent push and pull, still, every instinct in me had already crossed lines my mind still pretended existed.By the time I reached the western corridor leading toward my chambers, the palace atmosphere had changed again. The servants moved faster, and the guards stood straighter. Some office nobles whispered in clusters like crow

Chapter 38

POV: GinaI went to rest after the disturbing visions I saw when I was with Mary, even though I had to flee; it seems the demons followed closely behind me.Brief calm reigned after I got to my small corner. I didn’t feel sleepy, but I knew I needed ample rest.I needed a distraction, but there was nothing. The boredom in this world was real. Now stressed and on edge, there was nothing to take my attention, even for a while.I haven’t been assigned the fancy tabs I see with those senior maids; it seems being the prin

Chapter 39

POV: CalebI stepped out of my quarters with one purpose: to see the Queen. I am more compelled to see her, especially after what happened with Gina. I have never seen a human act so unnaturally, and the words that came from her were cryptic, just like how my mother speaks at times.Her last statement, ‘Chaos,’ keeps tingling my warning senses - something might happen soon. So instead of going to the royal hall, I went to see my mother again.Mother rarely used fear-driven language. She can use confusing language sometimes, but as her son, I am used to her ways, especially the calculated manipulation hidden behind actions and royal smiles. For her to say that word so plainly meant something far worse than border skirmishes or Alpha disputes.“You should be welcoming Princess Lena, why are you here?” my mother asked, seeing I had come to her royal quarters uninvited.I studied her carefully, “You’re hiding something.” Not bothering to acknowledge her previous statement.Her expression

Chapter 40

POV: GinaThe first thing I noticed was the softness as I woke up. The mattress was comfy, strange; it did not feel like my own bed.Even half-awake, I felt uneasy. Lately, nothing in my life had been soft unless it meant trouble was coming next.I opened my eyes carefully, and I saw massive black curtains and silver candlelight. A room far too luxurious to belong to me.Then the scent hit, pine and smoke.Prince Caleb? Oh no.I sat upright too fast and instantly regretted it as pain pulsed behind my eyes.“Easy.”A deep voice by the window startled me. Prince Caleb stood there, arms crossed, dressed all in black again. I guess darkness was his thing now.He watched me too intensely.Like he was studying a bomb that might explode. That’s fair, considering recent events.“You collapsed,” he said.“Yes, I did.”His gaze narrowed slightly. “You were saying strange things.”Fantastic. I laughed nervously. “Did I?”“Yes.”That single word carried enough weight to crush buildings. I suddenl
