~KAELArden poured me a glass of the clear wine he was taking."This will help clear your mind. Go ahead and drink! You need it!" Arden exclaimed as he handed me the glass.I exhaled sharply and shrugged. There was no harm in taking the drink. Perhaps it was going to help numb the storm in my mind. Maybe I would be able to find my wolf and we would be at peace again.I downed it in one go. I squeezed my face at the strength of the drink and I felt my wolf fighting off the dizziness. Arden cheered. "Now that is what I'm talking about!" he exclaimed before pouring me another one.I laughed and downed it. I winced at the power again, still not getting used to it. Arden clapped like a teenage cheerleader for me. Eventually, he grabbed my head and connected his forehead with mine."No matter what they say, we're in this together. We'll fight the enemy together, conquer the world. Travel the same world and vanquish all our enemies," he promised me.These were his dreams. This was what he ha

~ZIRAI was left alone with Kael.I blinked multiple times, as I felt very conscious of myself. I knew that the right thing to do was to walk away to my room as everyone had done but I felt reluctant to leave him. I wanted to stay in his company a little while longer even if he kept throwing me hateful stares.I fidgeted with my fingers and I felt my heart begin to race. I wanted to start a conversation. My wolf urged me to but I feared that it would only anger him. In the end, all I did was inhale and exhale."Go to your room, Zira," he muttered under his breath.I would have not heard it if there were others in the hall with us. It had grown so silent that I could hear every sound which we each made.I ignored his request and moved on to start a conversation with him. "D— do you need help finding your room?" I asked, trying my luck since he had spoken to me first.Kael stepped before me and threw me a disgusted stare. "I don't need your help," he breathed before storming away.My wo

~KAELI tossed and turned in my bed.I could not get any sleep, no matter what I did. I even tried squeezing my eyes shut for a long time but each time I did, thoughts of Zira came into my head.I saw her smile at her father. I saw her moistened eyes as she stared up at me, expecting me to accept her. I even went as far as hearing her voice.It caused my wolf to stir with desire and want. It was as if the more time I spent away for her, the harder it got to bury my thoughts far away.I wondered what was going on in her room. Perhaps that was why I could not sleep. Because I kept thinking about Arden spending the night alone with my mate.My wolf twisted at the thought. Could he perhaps be kissing her now? Could he be running his hands over her body?I cringed at the thoughts that I was getting. I sat up immediately and that was when I realized that I had started sweating all over. My heart pounded hard against my chest and my wolf continued to move restlessly within my mind.I was fin

~ZIRAI was up earlier than I usually did.My fear was that if Arden were to wake up at the same time as me, then he might probably suggest that we took our bath together. That was the last thing I wanted.Luckily for me, Arden was still fast asleep.I cleaned my body and brushed my teeth quickly. There was determination in my eyes. I hoped that today was going to be better than the way yesterday turned out. I might have died and come back yesterday but today, I was only going to conquer my enemies.I chose a pair of pants, a sleeveless top and a dark leather jacket. I placed my legs into knee high boots, having it in mind that I might have to go hiking in the woods. There was no way that I would let the men search alone.I was just brushing my hair when Arden woke up. My wolf stirred in desperation. I had almost forgotten that the man still existed. I wondered why he could not just disappear."Sweet morning my beautiful mate," he began and I could not detect the lie in that. He was g

~KAELI saw my father suppress a growl.Zira was making things hard for him and it was getting on his nerves. I was sure that all he wanted was to attack her and force it out of her but he had to control himself and keep his cool."As you wish, my dearest Princess," he stated instead through clenched teeth.Zira bowed her head slightly at him and went back to her food. Just like that, the dining area fell silent and only the clanking sound of spoons and forks against ceramic plates filled the air.Until Father dropped his cutleries first. I watched him take a napkin and I immediately understood that it was our cue to leave. I mirrored his actions as Father cleared his throat."I think I'm done here. My sons and I will leave now to start the search for the Moon crest," Father announced.Tyrone nodded with enthusiasm. "Please, take your time and let me know if you need anything. All the guards are at your disposal," he answered.Arden and I exchanged glances for a while, passing a secre
