14 : A Husband Trying

Grey Grey frowned. "...Did she dislike it?""No.""Then why did she cry? Urgh…” His headache was getting worse, but Bina seemed to not care about Grey. She only had her heart towards Maya. Just like Cora did.'What is it about this girl that easily steals people’s hearts? Grey asked himself, I am here having the worst headache in my life trying to save my kingdom from the dying tree and from dragons yet no one cares for me!' Grey thought to himself."Perhaps..." He shrugged. "...the pie was too hot?"Bina looked at him as though he

14 : The Runaway Bride

Grey His headache pulsed with every step. He wanted nothing more than to throw the scrolls into the fireplace and pretend Bina had never cornered him. Instead, he climbed the grand staircase.The corridors had fallen quiet. Most servants had retired for the night. Only the occasional guard bowed as he passed. Grey barely acknowledged them.His mind remained occupied by the council meeting.Three dragons. Perhaps more. If Red confirmed an entire flock...No.He couldn't think about that now. He had enough problems already.A defective Rona. A dying tree. A kingdom waiting for miracles. And now Bina wanted him to ask his wife what kind

15 : Foxglove; Invitation

Maya The cold burned Maya’s lungs. Each breath scraped Maya's throat as she stumbled deeper into the palace front yard. Snow reached halfway to her calves. Every hurried step sent sharp pain shooting through her twisted ankle, yet she kept running. She didn't dare look behind.Not because she feared seeing Grey. Because she feared stopping. If she stopped… Everything would catch up.The memories. The fear. The helplessness. The walls.She couldn't go back. Not again.The palace front yard was like a forest, and it swallowed every sound except her uneven breathing. Branches clawed at her nightgown. Thorns tugged strands of her long hair. There were no guards to stop her

16: Not Every Invitation Should Be Accepted

Majâna.The name echoed through the hollow trunk like a forgotten prayer. It wasn't loud. It wasn't even spoken with urgency.It was simply... there.Waiting. Patiently. As though whoever called her had never doubted she would eventually come.Maya stood frozen before the opening in the Everlasting Tree.The cave should not have existed.She had seen the tree from the outside only hours ago. Its trunk had looked ancient and solid, scarred by centuries of winter and sorrow. Yet now, the bark had parted as smoothly as curtains drawn aside.No splintering. No cracking.Only an ancient invitation.The foxgloves lining the entrance swayed gently despite the complete absence of wind. Their bell-shaped blossoms glowed faintly beneath the moonlight.Purple. Lavender. Ivory. Each blossom seemed to hold a tiny ember within its petals.Foxgloves.Freya had once smiled while teaching her about them."Foxgloves are invitations. Not every invitation should be accepted. But when nature itself invites

17 : Evergreen; Hope

The trail ended at the Everlasting Tree. Grey slowed to a halt at the edge of the conservatory. His enormous white paws sank silently into the fresh snow as his deep blue eyes swept across the moonlit clearing. Her scent was everywhere. Wildflowers. Snow. Blood. And something else... Something strangely warm. Something that hadn't existed before. He lifted his head. The Everlasting Tree stood proudly in the middle of the conservatory, its massive trunk disappearing into the moonlit sky. Leafless. Ancient. Silent. Yet... It felt different. Grey couldn't explain it. The air itself had changed. It no longer carried the crushing heaviness that had haunted Stormfang for years. Instead... There was the faintest breath of spring hidden beneath winter. His wolf slowly padded forward. Every instinct inside him urged caution. No wolf approached the Everlasting Tree casually. Not even the Alpha. The tree wasn't merely sacred. It was alive. Older than kingdoms. Older than history itself.

17 : Evergreen; Regret

GreyThe walk back to the castle felt strangely longer. Grey carried Maya as carefully as he could, one arm beneath her knees, the other supporting her back.She barely weighed anything. Too light. The snow crunched beneath his boots as he crossed the silent courtyard. No guards dared question him. Instead, they bowed, though more than one pair of eyes widened at the sight of their Alpha carrying his unconscious bride.Grey ignored every curious glance. His attention remained on the warmth radiating through Maya. Her fever had worsened. Every now and then she shivered.A quiet sound escaped her lips. Not words. Only a small whimper.Grey frowned. "...You're still afraid."He wasn't sure whether she heard him. Perhaps she was dreaming. Perhaps remembering. Whatever haunted her followed even into sleep.Bina nearly dropped the basket of folded laundry when Grey entered the eastern wing. "My King?" She hurried toward him. "What happened?""She has a fever." Grey continued walking. "And

17. Evergreen; Turning New Pages

**Grey** Grey had barely taken three steps away from Maya's room when hurried footsteps echoed through the eastern corridor. "My King!" A young palace guard came running, nearly slipping on the polished stone floor before catching himself. He bowed so abruptly his helmet nearly fell off. Grey rubbed his temple. His headache had finally begun to ease. "What is it?" The guard looked as though he could scarcely believe the words coming out of his own mouth. "Someone... someone has returned." Grey frowned. "Marcus?" "No, Your Majesty." "Red?" Another shake of the head. The guard swallowed. "It's..." His voice lowered almost reverently, "...Sir Lyon." Grey stared. Silence stretched between them. "...Repeat that." The guard did. "Sir Lyon has returned." Impossible. Grey reached the great hall in long strides. Several guar

18. Before The Storm; Danger Brewing

The first howl came before dawn.Grey had barely finished reviewing evacuation maps when hurried footsteps thundered down the corridor."My King!" The office doors flew open.Grey immediately recognized the voice. "Red?"The knight stumbled inside, snow covering his boots and shoulders. His chest rose and fell rapidly from having sprinted across half the castle. He hadn't even bothered to remove his sword.Something was terribly wrong."What happened?"Red didn't answer immediately. He braced both hands against Grey's desk, struggling to steady his breathing. "The eastern ridge..."Grey stood. "What about it?""They're coming."Silence settled over the room.Grey already knew who they were."...Dragons."Red nodded."A family. Four adults."His face paled."...and two juveniles."Grey felt every muscle in his body tense.Six.Moon Goddess...Six dragons.Stormfang had never survived more than two attacking together. Six would reduce villages to ash before noon."Distance?" Grey’s hear

18 : Before The Storm; A Silent Farewell

Grey The castle had never been this loud. Boots thundered through corridors. Servants hurried past carrying blankets, sacks of dried food, and medicine. Mothers clutched crying children close while warriors strapped swords to their waists with grim determination.Above it all, the alarm bell continued to ring.One slow toll after another.A funeral bell before anyone had died.Grey walked against the tide of panicked people. No one stopped him. No one questioned him. Every face that looked toward their Alpha searched for certainty. He gave each of them a nod. A reassuring smile. A calm expression.Even if inside… His own heart had

18 : Before The Storm; The Western Horizon

Grey did not look back.If he looked back…If he caught one last glimpse of the cream-colored cloak disappearing down the corridor…He knew he wouldn't be able to let her go.So he walked. One steady step after another.Toward the eastern wall. Toward the smoke staining the morning sky. Toward the dragons.The alarm bells continued to toll across Stormfang.Children cried. Mothers called for one another. Wolves barked anxiously inside their homes. Soldiers rushed past carrying barrels of water, bows, and bundles of spears.Yet amid the chaos… Grey found something strang
