Home Never Felt Like Home

Aziel’s POVI didn’t sleep.I closed my eyes. I lay still. I even convinced myself a few times that I was beginning to drift off, but every single time another thought dragged me back awake. The Blue Moon Kingdom. The words repeated inside my head until they no longer sounded real. Yesterday they had been hundreds of miles away. Today they were inside the palace. They had come for me. No. They had come for Lior. The problem was that I had no idea which version of me they expected to find, and that uncertainty refused to leave me alone no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.I sat up as the first light of morning slipped through the curtains. The room was quiet except for the distant sounds of servants beginning another day somewhere beyond the palace walls. Normally I enjoyed mornings. They were peaceful. They gave me time to think before the rest of the world decided to become troublesome. Today, thinking was exactly what I wanted to avoid. I rubbed my face and swung my legs over th

The Masks We Wear

Aziel’s POVThe walk to the audience hall felt much longer than it usually did. Ragnar stayed beside me without speaking, and for once I appreciated the silence. My thoughts were already loud enough. Every step seemed to pull another memory from somewhere deep inside Lior’s mind, and each one left me feeling a little less certain of what I would find waiting for me. The palace corridors were already busy with servants carrying trays, documents, and baskets of fresh flowers while guards stood at every entrance with their hands resting on their swords. Nobles stepped aside as Ragnar passed, bowing respectfully before letting their curious eyes drift toward me. No one dared ask questions, but it was obvious they all knew why the palace had become so tense. News traveled quickly within these walls, and by now everyone had heard that the Blue Moon Kingdom had sent an official delegation.Neither of us spoke until we reached the enormous doors leading into the audience hall. Two royal guard

The Truth Unmasked

Ragnar’s POVThe audacity of this woman.I had met arrogant people before. Kings who believed their crowns placed them above the law. Nobles who thought wealth could erase every mistake they had ever made. Generals who believed victory on the battlefield gave them the right to ignore every order that followed.Lady Seraphine was different.She had just admitted, before my court and her own delegation, that she had expected me to kill Prince Lior. When that failed, she had calmly declared that she would do it herself. Yet she still stood there as though she believed she could walk away from this meeting with her reputation untouched.She truly believed she could talk her way out of anything.The throne room remained silent. No one rushed to defend her. No one dared interrupt. Even the nobles who had arrived with her looked uncertain. Some avoided meeting my eyes altogether. Others stared at Seraphine with expressions that suggested they were questioning everything they thought they kne

Where I Belong

Aziel’s POVI couldn’t understand why her words still affected me.She had stood before an entire court and admitted that she had expected Ragnar to kill me. When that failed, she had admitted she intended to do it herself. There should have been nothing left to question after that. Any doubt I still carried should have disappeared the moment those words left her mouth.Instead, they stayed with me.Not because I believed her. Because a part of me had spent so many years believing everything she ever said that it no longer knew how to stop.Weak.Ungrateful.A burden.Those words had followed Lior through almost every memory I had recovered. They had been repeated so often that they no longer sounded like insults. They sounded like rules. Rules I had never realized I was still obeying.I hated that. I hated that after everything she had confessed, I still found myself wondering if I really was making a mistake.I lowered my eyes for a moment and quietly drew in a slow breath. The voic

Safe Haven

Ragnar’s POVThe walk back to our quarters was quiet. The palace halls stayed busy like always. Servants carried clean sheets and clothes. Guards stood straight and bowed when I passed. Maids talked about the evening meal as if the big meeting today had never happened. Life in the palace went on.It always did.Big empires lived through wars, deaths, and scandals. By tomorrow, most people would forget what they saw. They would talk about something new.But Lior would not forget.I looked at him walking next to me. His eyes stayed on the floor. His shoulders were tight. His hands were clasped so hard his knuckles turned white. He had not said a word since we left the hall. Every few steps his fingers squeezed tighter, like he was holding himself together with pure will.He looked like a soldier who had been cut deep inside but refused to show it.When we reached his room, I sent the guards away.“No one comes in unless the palace is burning.”They bowed. “Yes, Your Majesty.”The door c

Truth and Tremors

Aziel’s POVI stood frozen in the middle of my chambers, my heart still racing from the kiss. Ragnar’s warmth lingered on my lips and the feel of his hands on my back refused to leave my skin. The door had barely closed behind Magnus, but the silence he left behind felt heavier than any words he could have spoken.Anger burned in my chest. Not at Ragnar. Not even at Magnus. At myself.I had stood there in front of Seraphine like a fool. I had let her words cut into me. I had shown weakness in front of the entire court, in front of Ragnar, in front of everyone who mattered. The proud Alpha warrior I once was would have laughed at the idea of letting a woman like her shake me. Yet here I was, trembling after a single confrontation. My new body felt like a cage. My emotions felt like chains.I pressed my fingers to my lips. The kiss replayed in my mind. The way Ragnar had pulled me close. The heat of his body. The taste of him. A strange warmth spread through my stomach. It was not the s

Awakening Fire

Aziel’s POVThe heat started slowly, like a fire someone had lit deep in my belly. At first I thought it was just leftover anger from the meeting with Seraphine. My skin felt too warm. My heart would not slow down. But the longer I sat alone in my chambers, the worse it became. Every breath felt heavier. My thighs pressed together without meaning to. A low ache spread through my body until I could not ignore it anymore.The kiss.That was what started it. Ragnar’s mouth on mine. His hands pulling me close. The taste of him. The solid strength of his body. Something inside me had woken up, and now it refused to sleep again.I stood up too fast. The room spun for a second. I walked to the small table near the window where a bottle of fine wine waited. The servants had left it earlier, thinking I might want something to calm my nerves after the long day. I poured a full glass and drank it in one go. The wine was rich and strong. I hoped it would dull my thoughts and knock me out so I cou

Morning After

Aziel’s POVI woke up slowly, my body heavy and warm. Soft sheets covered me. The bed felt larger than mine. For a few seconds I lay still, trying to remember where I was. Then the memories came rushing back. The heat. The wine. Stumbling into Ragnar’s room. Throwing myself at him. His hand on me. The pleasure that had torn through my body.My face burned, but I refused to let shame win. I was Aziel Valcairn. Former king. Warrior. I had faced death and betrayal and I would not crumble over one night of losing control.I sat up. The movement made my head spin slightly. I was naked under the blanket. My clothes lay folded neatly on a nearby chair. Ragnar’s scent was everywhere. On the pillows. On my skin. I looked around the room. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows. It was morning.Ragnar stood near the table by the window, pouring water into a glass. He wore only loose pants. His bare chest and strong shoulders were fully visible for the first time. I stared. The man was built

Rising Obsession

Ragnar’s POVI stood by the window in my private study, staring out at the palace grounds. The sun was high, but my mind was far from the daily reports stacked on my desk. All I could think about was Aziel. The way he had looked at me this morning. The way his body had felt against mine last night. The sounds he made when he came apart in my hands.I had never wanted anyone like this. Not this deeply. Not this completely. It was more than desire. It was obsession. I found myself thinking about him during meetings. Wondering if he was safe. If he was eating. If he was still struggling with the memories of his past life. The need to protect him, to keep him close, grew stronger every day. It scared me how quickly it had taken root.A soft knock pulled me from my thoughts.“Enter.”The door opened and Lyrielle stepped inside. She wore a deep red dress that hugged her figure. Her hair was arranged perfectly, and she carried the faint scent of roses. She smiled at me as she closed the door

Shadows of Trust

Aziel’s POVI sat alone in the quiet corner of the palace library after the meeting with Valerian. The old mage’s words still echoed in my head and the soul resonance tests had left me drained. My body felt heavy. I closed my eyes for a moment, hoping to rest, instead, a memory pulled me under. Not one of Lior’s. One of mine.Past LifeThe campfires burned low under the night sky. We had won another battle earlier that day. The air still carried the faint smell of smoke and victory. I sat on a log near my tent, sharpening my sword by the light of the flames. Ronan sat across from me, cleaning his own blade. The two of us often stayed up late after fights, talking about strategy or simply enjoying the quiet.“You fought well today,” I said, glancing at him. “That flank maneuver you suggested turned the tide.”Ronan smiled. It was the same easy smile I had seen a thousand times. “I learned from the best.”I laughed softly. “Flattery will not get you out of training tomorrow.”He chuckle
