ELVA'S POVI woke up to the noise of people at the castle gate. Rushing out of my room, I headed downstairs to know what was going on.When I got to the gate, Lu was already there with some warriors. Sticks and stones were flying in from outside the gate."What's happening?" I asked Lu."It's a riot," he said to me, "go back in. I'll deal with it.""A riot? For what?" I asked him."Just go back in!" He shouted before a rock the size of his fist, landed on his head."Ouch!" He whimpered, "Have you seen why I was telling you to go inside?""I'm a warrior, Lucius," I said to him, "what are you protecting me for?"With that, I went closer to the gate and asked the warriors to let me through so I could talk to the rioting crowd."It's dangerous out there," one of the guards said to me, "I'd advise you to stay back in.""It's an order," I reminded him."Alright, princess," he said softly and opened the door."Good."I took a deep breath and stepped out of the gate. I knew what to say to the

ELVA'S POVI had succeeded in convincing Jeffrey that I had developed feelings for him. For the past few months we had been together all the time. He often visited the Haelstrom kingdom. And with his constant visits, the pack felt a bit assured that they were soon going to have an Alpha.Whenever he visited, I'd take him into the kingdom. We'd hold hands, strolling and visiting places.But Jeffrey had a problem with me. I hadn't let him have sex with me since we started dating and it made him annoyed and suspicious as well. I didn't even let him share the same bed with him.I was about going to bed one night when he opened my door and walked in with his nightwear.I had just closed my eyes to sleep before he came.I opened my eyes up, "Jeffrey, I thought you've gone to bed."I had been with him on the corridor, and we had kissed before saying goodnight and going to our separate rooms."Sweetheart," he said to me."Yes, dear," I answered. It was so hard for me to call him those sweet n

Elva’s POVI stood before him, bathed in the ethereal glow of the full moon.My heart pounded in my chest, anticipation mingling with nervousness. The air crackled with electric energy, signaling the profound moment about to unfold. Jeffrey, my one true mate, stood tall and commanding, his eyes reflecting the fervor that consumed us both.He approached me slowly, his gait purposeful yet gentle. I shivered as his fingers grazed my cheek, tracing the contours of my face. Our eyes locked, and at that moment, I knew there was no force stronger than the bond that united us. The ache in my chest transformed into an overwhelming desire, a yearning that could only be fulfilled by him.The moon cast cascading shadows on his chiseled face, highlighting the raw intensity in his gaze. His lips met mine, igniting a fierce fire within. The touch was gentle, yet every brush ignited a primal hunger, a longing I could no longer deny. Our mouths moved in perfect rhythm, a dance of need and longing as i

ELVA'S POV It was the eve of Demian's wedding. The whole place was swarming with guests walking about. As festive creatures, we cooked a lot of food and served wine at all ceremonies. The aroma of spices danced into people's noses as they walked about. Many of them who were visiting Demian's pack for the first time took their time exploring the place. Darian was quite occupied, helping out with the preparation of many things for the wedding. I had thought I'd get to spend some private moments with him, but it turned out to be the opposite. I decided to walk around and maybe get to meet some new friends. There were lots of beautiful Lunas attending the wedding. I could make friends with one or two of them. There was no harm in a trial. As I walked along a lonely corridor in the backyard which was poorly illuminated, I felt my temperature rising again, my heart beating in an unimaginable pattern. It made me want to purge and I quickly ran to a toilet immediately. When I got into

ELVA'S POV After breakfast the next morning, I noticed that the nausea which I had been feeling due to Nolan's presence back then at the party had vanished. Smiling had been very difficult for me until this morning. Lu and his mate had been so clingy since the previous night. They rarely came out of his room. I wondered if he had already claimed her or if he was waiting to get to know her well enough before doing that. Darian had woken up very late. He was coming down for breakfast when I was racing up the stairs to get back to my room. He was wearing a furry brown coat, with his hands tucked into the pockets of the coat. The morning was chilly to some extent, but since I got up from the bed and ran around the castle, I'd felt warmer. "Good morning!" I hugged him. His arms slid out of his pockets, going down my waist and circling around it, and then he pulled me closer. "You're lighting up the world with your smile this morning, Elva," he said, his affectionate gaze buried dee
