The weeks flew by like a peaceful dream.For the first time since I met Valen, our days were filled with quiet mornings, warm sunshine, and the gentle sounds of the Sanctuary rebuilding. The scars of the simulation and the shadow war were finally starting to heal.I stood in the center of the newly built nursery in the high palace tower. Soft white rugs covered the stone floor, and a wooden crib carved with silver wolf runes sat near the large balcony window overlooking the ocean."You're standing on your feet again," Valen’s deep, warm voice rumbled from the doorway.I turned with a smile as Valen walked into the room. He had dropped his heavy royal armor for a simple black tunic, looking relaxed and handsome. He walked straight over to me, wrapping his large arms around my waist from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder while placing his hands over my heavy stomach."The healers said I need to walk," I reminded him softly, leaning my head back against his chest. "I can't stay in

The silver phantom dissolved into a cloud of soft, glowing starlight that floated harmlessly out over the dark ocean. The heavy balcony doors slammed shut with a quiet thud, leaving the nursery silent once again.Valen instantly stood up, his body blocking the bed as his broadsword slid smoothly from its sheath. His golden eyes scanned the balcony with sharp, lethal focus before he slowly lowered his blade."Valen..." I whispered, clutching baby Aurora closer to my chest.She wasn't crying. Her little violet-gold eyes were wide, watching the floating specks of leftover starlight with quiet curiosity.Valen turned back to us, stepping over to the side of the bed. He dropped his sword onto the rug and sat down, pulling both of us into his large, warm arms. His heart was hammering against his ribs."What did the spirit mean?" Valen asked, his voice low and tight with protective rage. "'The stars themselves will come to claim her'... I fought through a bloody war and shattered a fake real

My breath hitched as I stared at the glowing projection of Valen pinned against the glass dome, blood dripping from his lip.The celestial soldier took another step closer, his crackling spear inches from my heart. "You have five seconds, Silver Queen. Give us the child, or I give the order to strike his head from his shoulders."Five... Four...My body trembled with pure terror. Everything we had built, every war we had fought, led back to this agonizing moment.I looked down at baby Aurora resting in my arms. Her violet-gold eyes looked straight up at me, completely calm, her tiny hand reaching up to touch my cheek.“Valen...” I called desperately through our mate bond, my tears falling onto my dress.“Don't... give her up... Lyra...” Valen’s voice rasped weakly in my mind, choked with pain. “Kill them... I'll survive...”"Time is up," the masked soldier coldly announced, raising his hand toward the projection. "Kill the Alpha King.""NO!" I roared!I didn't try to hide my magic any

The giant celestial hall fell dead silent as the Emperor’s challenge echoed off the white marble pillars."I accept!" I declared loudly, my voice ringing with absolute certainty as I cradled baby Aurora close."Lyra, wait!" Valen growled, pulling against his golden chains until his wrists bled. "The fire of the sun will try to tear our minds apart! Let me take the burden!""We take it together, Valen," I said, stepping right up to him and kneeling in front of his chained form. I rested my forehead against his, looking into his fierce golden eyes. "We share one soul. We survive together."The Emperor slammed his heavy staff against the crystal floor!BOOM!A column of blinding, white-hot solar fire erupted straight out of the ground, engulfing both Valen and me inside a roaring inferno!The fire didn't burn our skin it burned directly into our minds, our memories, and our mate bond!A terrifying cosmic pressure slammed into my consciousness, trying to rewrite my reality. Images of war,

The grand courtyard was filled with the scents of roasted meats, sweet wines, and blooming jasmine.It had been three weeks since Princess Aurora’s first birthday, and the Sanctuary was hosting the grand banquet of the Unified Packs. Leaders from all seven surface territories sat at long wooden tables, raising their silver goblets in deep toasts to King Valen and Queen Lyra.I sat on the royal dais beside Valen, watching little Aurora sleep peacefully in a carved wooden cradle beside my throne, guarded closely by Maeve.Valen reached under the silk table, taking my fingers in his and lacing them with mine. His skin was warm, his thumb lazily tracing circles against my knuckles."You're quiet tonight, my Queen," Valen murmured, his golden eyes scanning my face with deep affection. "Are you still thinking about Aurora floating into the sky last week?""A little," I admitted with a faint smile, leaning my shoulder against his broad arm. "The Celestial Emperor sealed her core, but every t
