MaddieOnce prepared, I headed to the ceremony hall, where familiar faces of importance awaited. My attention was drawn to Lady Aleria's family, causing a twinge of discomfort in my stomach.Taking my place beside Kristoff at the front, I felt the weight of all eyes on us. However, I refused to be intimidated. With so many eyes watching my every move, I knew better than to do anything foolish that might compromise my situation again."Unfortunately, the esteemed Ironwolf cannot be with us today," announced the speaker. His words were met with murmurs of disappointment from the crowd. "Nevertheless, the ceremony will proceed, led by the heir to the throne, Jarl Kristoff, and his wife, Lady Maddie."Applause filled the hall, yet Kristoff's demeanor remained distant, a constant reminder of our loveless union. But I had grown accustomed to the ache, resigning myself to my fate.The ceremony dragged on, each moment feeling endless. I could hardly bear it any longer, my mind yearning for es

UlricI wrapped Aster in a huge hug. "Congratulations, brother. How are you feeling about your new post?" I noticed the nervous smile on his face. "I'm excited, but there's a touch of nervousness. I'm not sure if I'm worthy enough to lead."Giving his shoulders a firm tap, I enveloped him in my arms. "Listen here, brother. What's running inside your veins isn't ordinary wolf blood. Your blood is more than worthy to lead for you are the son of the great Ironwolf. Heads up, little guy. You are destined for a great destiny."Aster became a little confident to start his first official job in the pack. He was given a post on the borders of the northern territory. Meanwhile, I was beaming with pride for my little brother. But amidst the joy, our mother couldn't hold back her tears and broke down."Mother?" I approached her gently."I'm sorry, Ulric. I just couldn't believe how time flies. My little boy is no longer a baby," she sobbed.Aster went to hug our mother, reassuring her, "I'm go

AriI was working late, buried in an important report, seeking solace downstairs. Nestled in a chair by the main door, I delved into the text, trying to focus despite the late hour. Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing Ulric's distraught face."Oh, it’s late. Where have you been, Ulric?" I inquired, my concern evident.Ulric barely acknowledged me, his gaze distant as he passed by. Confusion clouded my thoughts as I watched him go, pondering his unusual behavior. Concern gnawed at me, wondering what could be troubling him.Returning to my desk, I found myself unable to shake off the distraction. My mind wandered as I attempted to work. What's wrong with him? I asked myself. The next day arrived, bringing with it another critical meeting at Skagi. Among the attendees, I sat, my attention occasionally drifting towards Ulric, who seemed lost in his own thoughts. Lady Aleria led the discussion, her authoritative presence commanding the room.“Glad each one has some great ideas to sh

MaddieInside my room, I stood facing the giant wooden mirror in front of me, surrounded by the omegas who swarmed around, always ready to provide humble service. They looked terrified, some shaking, others just bowing their heads and staring at the floor. Not a single word escaped their lips. The atmosphere felt heavy and serious, casting an awkward and strange feeling, as if I were alone in the room.“What’s wrong with your faces? Why do you all seem down in such beautiful weather? Your feelings don't match how good the day was.”The omegas timidly raised their chins slightly, their eyes wide with fear as they exchanged meaningful glances. I could sense their trembling beneath their composed facades.“Is there any problem?” I asked gently.Their response came together, their voices quivering with trepidation, “No, Lady Maddie. We all agree with you. Forgive us for spoiling your mood with our down spirits.”I smiled and replied, "I'll forgive you for today. But next time, it won't be

MaddieAs I made my way to where we were supposed to meet, my feelings were all mixed up. I was excited to see Jaxon again but my spirit wolf was pushing me with urgency. Time was running out, and Jaxon needed help. However, at that moment, all I wanted was to feel his comforting embrace and ease the turmoil in my mind.Finally arriving at the end of the trail, I saw Jaxon standing by the riverside. His face lit up with joy as he spotted me. Seeing his happiness mirrored my own, and my heart swelled with joy.“MADDIE!!!”Jaxon’s voice rang out as he dashed towards me, enveloping me in a tight hug.“Hello, my love,” I murmured, feeling my worries melt away in the warmth of his embrace.With a smile, Jaxon cupped my face in his hands and whispered, “I got something for you.”Curious, I followed his gaze as he led me to the riverside, where he picked up a bouquet tied together with dried grass.“In my culture, each flower holds a meaning,” he explained, pointing to the vibrant yellow blo

KristoffAfter the incident, I kept myself busy, drowning my thoughts in work and tasks to avoid the embarrassment my wife had caused me. It was unbearable, the thought of facing my own family, especially Ari. I couldn't bring myself to do it properly.I looked out of my window and saw the sun setting high already. The heat was suffocating. I rose from my seat and made my way to the balcony. The hot wind brushed against my face as I heaved a deep sigh.“That woman...”I was seething with anger toward my own wife. If only I could act on my impulses and inner thoughts, I would surely teach Maddie a lesson in a way that would satisfy me and strip her of her high rank.“Oh, how I wish I could make these impossible fantasies a reality.”I grit my teeth, feeling the frustration boil inside me. I knew I couldn't act on these impulses towards Maddie and her conniving mother. If I were to confront them directly, they'd find a way to use Ari against me, twisting the truth to their advantage. Ju

AriAs Ulric and I prepared to leave Skagi for the capital, urgency gripped us. We both wanted to meet Maddie as soon as possible. Time was of the essence for our mission to save Jaxon.“Let’s go, Ari. There’s no time to waste. I’ll handle the sudden meeting with the Jarl’s wife. I’m Kristoff’s brother, so meeting Maddie will not be suspicious and can be seen as normal,” Ulric urged.I agreed, and we rushed out of the door. But to our surprise, Jaxon was about to enter.“Oh guys, how have you been?” Jaxon asked, eyeing our belongings with curiosity. “Are you going somewhere, Ulric? Why didn't you inform me?”Ulric was caught off guard by Jaxon’s sudden visit. “There’s no place to go aside from the capital.”“Really? What’s the reason behind the visit?” Jaxon inquired.Ulric didn’t know what to say, and heaved a sigh, smiling awkwardly. Luckily, I was quick to think.“To the omega quarters of the Alpha mansion, Delta Jaxon,” I interjected.I never uttered a word about my people from th

Ari"Maddie!" I called out again, hoping to catch her attention.This time, when Maddie turned around, her expression shifted from fear to concern, then quickly transformed into disappointment and disgust as her eyes met mine."Oh, look who’s here… What the hell are you doing here?" she spat out, her words laced with venom.I remembered the purpose of our surprise visit, but facing Maddie, whom I had always despised, left me at a loss for words. Maddie seized the opportunity to belittle me, her irritation evident from the moment I spoke her name. I understood her frustration immediately; she had almost been caught sneaking off to see Jaxon. So, I allowed her to vent her emotions."I always knew it. Kristoff would never be this crazy for you without seeing you. I am certain you both secretly see each other. And the sole reason why you are here," she accused, her tone dripping with disdain."That’s not true, Maddie," I protested, feeling the need to defend myself against her assumptions
