ZeldaI could hear the sincerity in Jake's voice as he spoke, and I knew he was telling the truth. This wasn't a joke, he had meant every word. I was taken aback, my mind reeling. I had never expected him to say something like that, to be so honest and open.It was like he had read my mind like he knew exactly what I was thinking. And that scared me because it meant that he knew just how vulnerable I was. It meant that he still had the power to hurt me, in a way that no one else could.He gave me a weak smile and turned to leave. I was about to call out to him, to stop him from going. But I wasn't certain if I had fully forgiven him or if I was ready to be friends again.So I just stood there, watching him walk away. My expression was unreadable, even to me. I was a mess of conflicting emotions, and I had no idea what to do next. All I knew was that my life had just gotten a lot more complicated.I locked the door behind him and went to my room. As soon as I was alone, I began to cry

Zelda“We're mates,” he said, his voice filled with conviction. The words echoed in my ears, reverberating in my mind. At that moment, I wished I could disappear, that I could run away from this situation. But I knew that I couldn't.I knew that I had to face the music.And then I saw my mother standing in the doorway, her eyes filled with pain. She looked at me, her gaze full of sadness and disappointment. At that moment, I felt like I had let her down, that I had broken her heart.My anger turned to rage, and all I could think about was hurting Drake. How dare he betray me like this, how dare he go behind my back?I felt a burning desire to take him down, to make him pay for what he had done. But then I remembered my mother, and I knew I couldn't do that.I had to keep my cool, and I had to focus on the bigger picture. Even though I was angry, I had to be the bigger person.I had to be strong, for both myself and my mother.“Yes, Madeline, we're mates,” Drake said, his voice sha

DrakeI wanted to run after Zelda, to talk to her, to apologize. But something inside me told me to give her space, to let her be on her own for a while. I could see the hurt and confusion in her eyes, and I knew that I had caused her pain. So I stood still, watching her walk away. I felt a wave of regret wash over me, a lump forming in my throat. But I knew that sometimes the best thing to do is to let people have their space, to let them sort out their thoughts and feelings.I wished I could make her see that sometimes, the most important thing is to do what's right, even if it's difficult. I knew that Madeline deserved to know the truth, no matter how painful it was. And I knew that Zelda and I could help her through it, no matter how difficult it might be. But I also knew that I couldn't force her to do anything. I could only hope that she would come around, that she would see the truth for herself.Meanwhile, I could only hope that I had done the right thing.The images of M

ZeldaThe morning light streamed through the window, shining directly into my eyes. I groaned, using my hands to cover my face, trying to shield my eyes from the glare. Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking against the harsh light. My head was throbbing, my body heavy with fatigue. I tried to sit up, but it was a struggle. Every muscle in my body protested, screaming for more sleep. But I knew I had to get up, to face the day ahead.I turned to the other side of the bed, expecting to see Drake there. But to my disappointment, he was nowhere to be found. I knew that I had been hoping he would sleep beside me.But to my disappointment he did not, but I also didn't want to overstep my boundaries by inviting him over to sleep.I laid there, torn between wanting to make him happy and respecting his space. I wondered if I had made the right decision, if I was just hurting myself.Just then, a maid entered the room. “Good morning, my lady,” she said, bowing her head in greeting.I gave her a

Drake“Zelda, wait!” I screamed, but she didn't listen. She kept running, heading away from the council, and away from me. I felt my heart break, the pain was almost too much to bear. I had never felt so alone, so lost and powerless. My mate, my only ally, was gone. And I had no idea where she was going, or if I would ever see her again. All I could do was stand there, my body shaking, my eyes filled with tears.I knew that I couldn't cry in front of the Elders. It doesn't befit me as the king. It would only prove them right and they might think that I have become weak." I can't be seen as weak. I cannot afford that. Not as an Alpha, not as the leader of my pack.I sat down, my teeth clenched, my eyes glowing with anger, my hands trembling.I tried to control my emotions, to keep them in check. But inside, I was a storm of rage and despair. I wanted to howl, to let out my anguish and pain.“How dare you speak to my Luna like that!” I screamed, my voice echoing off the walls. “Don
