Kai smashed his lips on hers again, the kiss deep and demanding. Selene pushed against his chest, her hands pressing hard, trying to create space between them. She turned her face away, breathing fast. “Kai… stop,” she whispered, her voice shaky.But Kai didn’t stop. He followed her movement, capturing her lips once more. His hand slid to the back of her neck, holding her gently but firmly as he kissed her slower this time, deeper, his tongue tracing her lower lip. Selene’s body tensed, her legs kicking lightly against him. She tried to turn her head again, but his mouth stayed on hers, warm and persistent.The mate bond hummed between them, strong and insistent. Heat spread through Selene’s body despite her resistance. Kai’s free hand moved down her side, tracing the curve of her waist, then slipping under the hem of her nightgown. His fingers brushed against her bare skin, sending shivers up her spine.Selene gasped into the kiss. Her hands, which had been pushing him away, slowly

Zack walked into the garden a few minutes later, carrying a small basket filled with more colored pencils."I thought you little artists might need these," he said with a smile as he placed the basket on one of the tables.The children's eyes lit up."Thank you, Beta Zack!""I want the blue one!""No, I saw it first!""There's enough for everyone," Zack said with a chuckle. "Don't fight over them."He looked at Selene, who was helping a little girl finish drawing a butterfly."I see they're keeping you busy.""They always do," Selene replied with a smile. "But I don't mind."Zack nodded before reaching for a sheet of paper. "Mind if I join you?""Not at all." Just as he was about to pull a chair closer, Kai calmly picked up the basket of pencils and placed it beside Selene."I think she'll need these," he said.Zack looked at the empty space that had just disappeared and couldn't help smiling to himself."I'll sit over there instead." He walked to another table where a group of older

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft silver glow over the palace grounds. Selene moved quietly through the back corridors, her dark cloak wrapped tightly around her shoulders. Her heart beat fast, but she forced herself to stay calm as she made her way through the sleeping palace.She had waited until Kai was completely asleep, his breathing slow and steady beside her in the royal chamber. Even now, the mate bond tugged at her, making her aware of him no matter how hard she tried to ignore it. But tonight, she had something more important on her mind.She needed answers.Ever since the strange power awakened inside her, she had been living with questions and fear. She didn't understand what was happening to her, and she was tired of pretending everything was normal.Slipping through a side door, she headed toward the edge of the forest. The night was quiet except for the sound of crickets and the rustling leaves above her. Soon, she reached a small clearing hidden between the

Chapter 46The grand hall was unusually tense that afternoon as members of the pack council gathered around the long oak table that dominated the center of the room. Ministers, commanders, and senior warriors filled their seats one by one, their low conversations echoing beneath the high vaulted ceiling before gradually fading into silence. At the head of the table sat Kai, his posture straight and commanding despite the exhaustion hidden behind his eyes, while Selene occupied the seat beside him. Although she kept her expression calm, she could feel the weight of countless stares pressing against her from every direction. Some were merely curious, others openly skeptical, and a few carried enough hostility to make the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.The meeting began with routine reports concerning trade routes, patrol schedules, and border activity, but it wasn't long before the discussion shifted toward the growing rogue problem. One of the ministers rose from his seat,

The palace was unusually quiet that night. Most of the servants had retired to their quarters, while the guards continued their rounds through the long stone corridors. The torches mounted on the walls flickered gently, casting dancing shadows across the cold floor.A cloaked figure stood hidden beneath the shade of a large tree just beyond the palace walls.Elara slowly pulled the hood lower over her face before stepping out of the darkness.She kept her head down as she made her way toward the old dungeon entrance, her heart beating faster with every step she took. Ever since Luna Astra had thrown her out of the palace, returning here had become a risk, but she wasn't about to abandon the plan she had worked so hard to set in motion.After waiting until the corridor was empty, she slipped inside and made her way toward the prison.The air grew colder with every step.The smell of damp stone filled the narrow hallway as rows of iron cells came into view.Sitting inside one of them wa
