Freya’s POV“Damn it!”Logan’s curse echoed in the cramped library. He shoved at the shelf again, but the panel didn’t budge. The jam was obvious now. Whatever mechanism kept the wall moving had slipped out of place.“Slamming into it isn’t going to fix it,” I said.“Do you have any other ideas?” Logan snapped.“Hey, don’t let me stop you. Keep trying to brute force it. I’m sure that will work,” I shrugged.“Sarcasm isn’t becoming of you, Princess,” Logan stated and turned his attention back on the shelf.Logan tried again, pressing against the crest with deliberate force, but the wood shuddered and locked with the same dull thud. He continued muttering curses under his voice.I exhaled and turned away. “I’ll reach Kael.”I opened the mindlink and reached out, but there was only silence. I tried again, but still nothing. I reached out to Elise, but I was still met with silence.“Nothing?” Logan asked flatly.“Nothing,” I admitted.“Kael is out patrolling. He probably has up a mental b

Logan’s POVMy hands slid down the curve of her body. I cupped her breasts, earning a gasp. I nipped at her neck, and she arched into me.‘This is what we were supposed to be doing. Do not deny it,’ my wolf growled.Freya clutched at me. She deepened the kiss. One of her legs was already wrapped around my waist. I sucked on her neck as I grinded into her. “Mark me. Please, mark me,” she begged me.For a brief second, I almost listened to her. All it would take was one bite, but clarity snapped me out of my lustful haze.If I marked her now, she’d wake up tomorrow with regret. She was in heat, half-lost to the bond. If I was to mark her, I wanted her to truly want me not to be driven by instinct because of the mate bond.“No!” I roared as I took control again. My Alpha aura flaring as I used the Alpha command against my wolf. He snarled as I shoved him back down. My body shook from the efforts.Freya flinched as my Alpha aura slammed into her, but then her eyes burned with anger. “I wo

Ethan’s POVI paced in my room waiting for Connor to return to give me an update. My thoughts had been chaotic all night. I had given Connor the order to sabotage the mechanism in the Alpha King’s private library. It was the perfect trap. Logan wouldn’t be able to resist sneaking in. Then he would be stuck until someone found him, preferably the Alpha King himself or Kael.But he hadn’t been caught.Instead, all I’d heard was that Logan had sent Freya to the hospital. There had been no violent clash with Kael. By all logic, if he had been discovered in that library, Kael would have arrested him and sent him to the dungeon. So why was Logan walking around as if he hadn’t overstepped boundaries?My thoughts circled back to the one detail that kept bothering me. Freya had been in the library as well. The library wasn’t a place for common wolves. It was the Alpha King’s domain. No outsiders were allowed.So why had she been there? Was Kael actually taking her seriously as a potential mate

Freya’s POVKael and Elise stared at me, both clearly shaken. Elise was the first to recover, rushing out to call the doctor. Kael stayed at my bedside. The doctor arrived quickly and said, "How are we feeling, Princess?""Tired, doctor. I can't feel my wolf," I whispered, my voice cracking.The doctor looked surprised and said, “I felt your wolf earlier. Your wolf was also weakened by the heat. Maybe you just overlooked her.” He checked my pulse, studied my breathing, and pressed his palm against my chest. His brow furrowed as he searched for my wolf.Finally, he leaned back with a furrowed brow. “Your wolf has indeed gone silent,” he said.“Do you know what caused this? Was it the heat?" Kael asked.“I cannot tell whether her wolf has disappeared or is in a deep dormant state,” the doctor explained. "The Princess going into heat should not have caused her wolf to go dormant; however, it did happen on a full moon night. So, it could potentially be the cause."This could not be hap

Freya’s POVThe infirmary walls had begun to feel like a cage. For days I had been watched over by doctors, healers, and the occasional guard, while my father and Kael remained consumed by the endless wave of visiting Alphas. Due to the altercation with Ethan, the doctor had changed his diagnosis and ordered me to remain in the infirmary for a few more days. Because of that, I was missing everything.Silvermoon had become crowded overnight. High-ranking wolves from nearly every pack had arrived, each bringing gifts, entourages, and the heavy weight of politics. My father received them in the great hall, Kael shadowed him constantly, and I was left behind, expected to recover quietly.The truth was that I already felt fine. The soreness from my collapse had faded, the dizziness passed. The only thing missing was my wolf, and even that silence had become something I tried not to dwell on. I longed for movement, for training, for the rhythm of sparring to ground me. Staying in bed only m
