‘We’ve shared my bed before’. Sharing her bed was one thing but sharing my bed was a whole new level and one part of me was starting to act out. I got into the bed anyway and placed a pillow between us for safety measures. She smiled at my action and turned her back to me. ‘Relax Zayn, I’m your sister tonight’. Yeah, that solves everything. ‘Goodnight sis’. * ‘Zayn’. It was red, bright red. ‘Open your eyes Zayn’. My eyes were open but all I saw was red.

“Right. The sacred display.” I smiled and nodded. “Do you think we’ll mess it up?” He laughed softly. “No. We’ll be fine. It’s for us. Not for them.” After a quick bath and changing into a soft white dress, I walked with Salvatore toward the clearing near the forest. That’s where the sacred part of the ceremony would happen. This part was for the whole pack to see. A tradition passed down for generations. Every newly mated Alpha and Luna had to take part. They called it The Flame of Unity.

“Maybe none of us deserve anything.

The pain of his actions cut deeper than I expected. I was no longer the woman he once loved; I had become something less, something broken in his eyes. And yet… I was his mate. Just as I was still trying to collect my thoughts, the seer stepped forward with a bright smile on her face. “It is time for the bedding ceremony!” The seer’s announcement echoed through the pack grounds, a notification of what was expected tonight: the bedding ceremony. My stomach twisted. Under the watchful moon, mates were supposed to consummate their bond to ensure the survival of the pack.

I followed him into a large room with cream-colored walls and a big window and in the middle of the room, my eyes drifted to the large king-sized bed with white sheets and gold pillows. I stood at the door, not going in further abdc stared at the bed. Was this really about to happen? I turned slowly to look at Kaden but he had already walked past me and was now pulling the curtains open, making the room bright. He stood at the window, looking outside with his back to me. “The ceremony is done,” he said. “And that was the most important part. We’re mated now and the next big thing is getting rid of the demons.”

"To the High-Rise. You’ll be assigned a floor and a security detail. You’ll have clothes, food, and whatever else you need. But don't mistake my hospitality for freedom, Veda.

"The Council has already processed the paperwork. In two weeks, there will be a ceremony. A real one. No cameras. No crowds. Just the blood oath." My blood ran cold. "What?"

Torchlight cast elongated shadows across the clearing and the crumbling ruins, shrouding the gathering in mystique.

“The bedding ceremony. Tradition, remember? The bride and groom must seal their vows before the court. They want to see that the rogue heir can still breed powerfully.” I froze. She chuckled softly. “Relax. It’s not like we haven’t shared a bed before.” My stomach turned and bile rose to my throat. This woman… She leaned back in her chair, voice raised now, speaking to the elders seated nearby. “Though I must say, my lord, after last night, I might not survive another round. The king was... thorough. My body’s still sore.” Laughter erupted from the tables. The elders nodded in approval. The lie settled like acid in my throat.
