“Who gave it to you?” Arria asked.
“A trusted source.”
“And he told you this was a suppression draught?”
Her voice was barely audible.

Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 97. The VoteĀ
š Arria POVSilence followed.Not the sharp silenceFenrircreated.Not the frightened one Alaric pulled from people without trying.This one was heavier.āYou donāt have to choose now,ā I told them. āYou can ask all your questions first. Greg and Stone will answer truthfully. Then youāll have three more days before the official vote.ā

š Arria POVA few minutes later, I was standing beside Fenrir on a wool blanket.Stone had organizedthespace perfectly. We were part ofthegathering circle, butthere was enough space around usso Alaric would not become overwhelmed.We received greetings, and as usual, everyone acted calmly, but no one met Fenrir’s gaze directly for more than two seconds.I positioned myself betweenhislong
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 95. The Letter
š Arria POVI had finished my morning training session an hour ago, and now,freshand physically spent, I was going through the pile of documents I had postponed for the last two days.The housing arrangements were moving swiftly, and all families in the gathering already had their own place. So now I was prioritizing which building should come next—a new school, a packhouse, three more one-family houses, or an actual healing house instead of home visits.A loud knock startled me.
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 94. The EchoĀ
š Fenrir POV Arria was shocked. She needed time to think it through, so I pulled away from her and started moving around the kitchen, preparing the table and reheating the food. It gave my hands something to do. āThis canāt be part of the curse,ā Arria said eventually. āAlaric had a mate back then, right?ā āYes,ā I confirmed. āA chosen mate.ā āChosen or not, it doesnāt matter if he wasnāt forced to take her. And the kingās Beta being forced is out of the question.ā āYou are right. He wasnāt.ā I set a plate on the table. āThey had been friends from a young age. Neither he nor she had found their fated mate by twenty-five, so they had decided to try courting for a while. Eight months later, they had been officially mated.āāThat doesnāt sound bad,ā she said slowly.Uncertain.āNo. It had been good. She had always been respectful, understanding, and soft around him, and the Beta had reciprocated her feelings and actions.āI took a moment.āIn time, they had grown affectionate wit
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 93.Ā ImpossibleĀ
š Arria POV I knew my mate pretty well by now. He was a man surrounded by rules, control, and walls. So when I said I loved him, I hadnāt expected āI love you tooā in return. I didnāt need the words back. I needed them out of my chest. I needed him to know he had something solid, something permanent with me. I expected a hug, maybe. Or a kiss. I would have been fine with āgoodā said in his usual level tone, or even just a nod. I wouldnāt have seen a problem in a silent transition into setting the table for an early dinner. What I hadnāt expected was for him to stay so utterly frozen for what felt like two full minutes. And I definitely hadnāt expected the word that eventually left him. āImpossible.ā Stated as an undeniable fact. I lowered my gaze, unsure how to deal with an answer like that. What was that even supposed to mean? Did he think I was incapable of love? Or too naive to understand the weight of the words and the extent of the feeling itself? Stone had voi
Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 92. Name It
š Arria POVI opened the office door without hesitation.āI am back,ā I announced with a smile and went directly to him to give him a kiss.Fenrir pushed his chair back and pulled me into his lap.The kiss was small and perfect, and then he lifted his hand and started pulling leaves and small sticks out of my hair.My eyes widened.āOh, Goddess, I must look like a witch,ā I said, shifting to slip out of his hold.āYou look like a nymph,ā he answered, unbothered, tightening his hold on me.I was staying where I was. Obviously.He took a moment to finish, and when he spoke again, his words came tender.āYou had fun.āI just nodded.I was still too ashamed of my appearance. And the fact, that he was intentionally showing me how he felt about it by letting his usual even tone soften, did not help at all.āGood.āI was rewarded with another kiss. This time on my forehead.āAre there more tasks on your list for today?āāYes,ā I confirmed softly, glancing at him.āI just came to say hello o

Born to shineĀ Ā Ā 1. The Mark
The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside m
