ROWAN'S POV

I woke before dawn and didn't move.

Her hair was across my shoulder and my hand was resting on the curve of her stomach. I just lay there. It felt like home and I wasn't ready to end whatever it was.

I hadn't slept like that in months. The kind of sleep where you go all the way down and stay there, no half-waking, nothing pulling you back up before your body is done with what it needed. I forgot what that felt like and waking up on the other side of it was strange in the best way.

    Tobias's povExactly one month had passed since Alpha Marcus gave us his official blessing and signed the final border treaty. I was sitting comfortably in my newly renovated council office on the top floor of the central castle building.The entire space looked different now, featuring a second massive mahogany workspace installed right next to my original executive desk. It was the physical proof that I wasn't running this entire political circus by myself anymore.Valerie was sitting casually on the very edge of my glass desk, kicking her boots back and forth against the wood. She was holding the latest stack of southern trade agreements in one hand, focused on the shipping lines.She reached down without even looking and stole another large sip straight from my favorite ceramic coffee cup. I watched her dark hair fall over her shoulders."You know, you have your own desk and your own coffee mug exactly three feet away from me, Valerie," I pointed out, leaning back in my leather ch

    TobiasThe feast went on for hours. Delegates kept coming up to us with their congratulations and more whiskey. My head felt fuzzy from all the drinking but my body stayed wired for Valerie.I grabbed her hand tight and pulled her away from the crowd. "We're done here. Come with me."Valerie laughed and followed me fast. "Finally. I was waiting for you to steal me away."We made it back to our bedroom and I locked the door behind us. The noise from the hall faded away. Just us now. No more pretending or fighting."Take your dress off slow," I said. "I want to watch."She smiled and started peeling it down her body. "Like this? After all that signing and talking I just want your hands on me."I pulled my own clothes off and stepped close. "Yeah. Exactly like that. You're mine now. Officially."Valerie stood there naked and reached for me. "I'm yours. The mate bond feels so settled tonight. No more anger."I picked her up and laid her on the bed gentle. My body covered hers. "No more f

    Tobias's povThe next morning came way too quickly after all the madness of the previous day. My muscles were still tight, but my head was clear as we walked back down the long stone hallway.Marcus had called us back to the main conference room for an early meeting, and I was fully prepared for another massive round of shouting. Valerie walked right by my side, her boots clicking firmly against the floorboards with that total confidence she always carried.We pushed the double doors open and found the large room quiet for once. Rowan and Mira were already sitting in their usual leather seats at the head of the long mahogany table.Marcus was standing by the large glass window, looking out over the training grounds where the morning guard rotation was currently taking place. He turned around slowly as the door clicked shut, his expression looking surprisingly tired instead of furious."Sit down, you two," Marcus said, his deep voice dropping into a regular speaking volume that lacked

    TobiasMarcus walked out and slammed the door behind him. The room felt too quiet after all that yelling. I looked at Valerie and saw the same wired up energy in her eyes that I felt in my chest."Fuck that was heavy," I said. "You okay?""Yeah but I need to move. Can't sit still," she replied. "Let's get out of here."I grabbed her hand and pulled her toward my private bathroom. The second we stepped inside I locked the door. My heart still raced from the family shit. I needed her right now."Hot water. Now," I said. I turned on the shower and the steam started filling the room fast.Valerie pulled her clothes off quick. "I feel like I'm gonna explode. All that pressure.""Same here," I told her. I stripped down and stepped under the spray with her. The hot water hit my back and it felt good but not enough. "Come here."I pinned her against the wet tile wall. Her body pressed right up to mine. Water ran down between us and made everything slippery."God yes," she gasped. "Touch me ha

    Tobias's povAlpha Marcus arrived at the central castle exactly two hours later, and you could hear his heavy footsteps from a mile away. He came storming straight into the grand meeting room like a literal wrecking ball, slamming the double doors open so hard they rattled on their hinges.Rowan was sitting calmly at the head of the long mahogany table, with Mira resting her hand on his arm to keep him grounded. Valerie and I were sitting right across from them, our clothes fully adjusted but our skin still buzzing slightly from what happened back in my office.Marcus didn't even look at the King or greet the Luna before his furious eyes locked directly onto my face. He marched right up to our side of the table, his face a deep shade of angry red as his hands clenched into tight, heavy fists."You have a lot of nerve sitting there looking so damn relaxed, Tobias," Marcus roared, his deep voice bouncing off the high stone walls. "I knew the capital was full of sneaky politicians, but I
