LOGINSeeing her mother Lyra immediately pulled away from Elara's embrace, her cheeks puffing in annoyance as she pointed an accusing finger at her brother. "Mother, look! Luci is getting angry at me!" The moment she reached Queen Vivienne's side, the Queen's expression softened. Seeing Lyra's swollen, tear-filled eyes tugged painfully at her heart. She gently brushed a few loose strands of hair away from her daughter's face, her touch as comforting as ever. Vivienne let out a quiet sigh. She knew very well that scolding Lucien would accomplish nothing. The Alpha Prince had harbored resentment toward her for years, and forcing him into another lecture would only push him further away. Instead, she silently chose peace over conflict. "It's alright, Lyra," Vivienne said softly, stroking her daughter's hair. "He must have had his own reasons for raising his voice. Don't cry anymore, my brave little girl." A teasing smile tugged at the Queen's lips. "Now... where has my little troublemak
Shadow rose from where he had been resting, his towering frame commanding the courtyard in an instant. Every gaze shifted toward the majestic black stallion as he strode forward with calm, deliberate steps. His sharp eyes never left Elara. Stopping right before her, Shadow lowered his head. Confused murmurs rippled through the crowd. None of them understood what the horse was doing. Except Lucien. A faint smile tugged at his lips. He knew Shadow better than anyone. Whenever the stallion wanted affection, he would simply lower his head and wait patiently. Lucien loosened his grip on Elara's hand. Only then did Elara realize he had been holding it all along. A strange feeling crept inside her realising she didn't felt any discomfort because of Lucien's hold, before her attention shifted back to Shadow. Lucien gently lifted his hand and stroked Shadow's silky mane. The mighty horse leaned into the touch with obvious contentment. The sight softened Elara's heart. Even Lyra, who h
Elara's ears perked up a bit as Lucien's voice tore through the air. "Lyra!" Her heart skipped a beat when she heard her name, "Elara!" It was Lucien's voice But more deeper It wasn't the calm, commanding voice she had grown accustomed to. It was raw. Desperate. A deep, fear-stricken roar that sent chills racing down her spine. Confused, she looked up in front, towards Lyra. The young omega was still walking backward, completely unaware of the danger charging towards them. Elara's eyes widened in horror. A massive black stallion thundered across the field, its wild eyes blazing with fury as it barreled straight toward both of them. There wasn't a second to think. Her body moved before her mind could. "Lyra, move!" She sprinted forward and shoved Lyra with all her strength. Lyra cried out as she crashed onto the rough ground, scraping her palms against the dirt. Looking up, she froze. Shadow stood only a few feet away from Elara. His powerful body trembled with rage a
Lucien frowned as the guard delivered the report, though he gave a curt nod and immediately strode toward the training grounds. His personal guards followed closely behind, their armor clinking with every step. The moment he entered the courtyard, his sharp green eyes widened at the sight before him. Theo stood in the center of the training grounds, his bandaged palm wrapped tightly around the reins of Shadow, Lucien's beloved stallion. The usually calm horse was wildly restless, rearing on his hind legs and tossing his head violently as if trying to break free. Lucien's gaze shifted to Theo's injured hand. His brows knitted together. What happened to Theo overnight? Pushing the thought aside for the moment, he approached them with hurried steps. "What happened to Shadow?" Lucien demanded. "Why is he so restless?" Hearing his Alpha Prince's voice, Theo immediately released his grip from Shadow's neck, keeping hold of the reins instead. Despite the chaos, he bowed respectfully. "
"Guards!" Lucien's commanding voice echoed through the palace corridor. "Search every corner of the palace. The intruder couldn't have gone far. Find whoever dared to spy on us." "Yes, Alpha Prince!" The guards immediately bowed before rushing down the hallway, their armored footsteps fading into the distance as they scattered throughout the palace in search of the mysterious figure who had been secretly watching the Alpha Prince and his mate. A heavy silence settled once they were gone. "Lucien..." Elara called softly, unable to hide the fear lingering in her voice. "Who could possibly be spying on us?" Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the blood-stained blade still resting in his hand. The crimson coating its edge sent a shiver through her body. Noticing where she was looking, Lucien quietly lowered the knife until it rested by his side, gently pulling her attention away from the weapon and back to him. "I don't know," he admitted, his expression darkening. "But I hope th
A sudden chill crawled down Elara's spine. Goosebumps erupted across her skin as an uneasy feeling settled deep within her chest. It was as if invisible eyes were fixed on her, silently observing every move she made. Her head snapped around, scanning the almost empty hallway. Someone was watching them. The unsettling sensation refused to leave. Beside her, Lucien immediately noticed the shift in her expression. His body instinctively tensed as he stepped closer. "Elara," he called softly, his emerald eyes narrowing with concern. "What happened?" She hesitated before answering, still searching the shadows. "I... I felt someone's gaze on us." She forced out a nervous laugh, attempting to brush it aside. "Maybe I'm just imagining things." Lucien wasn't convinced. He knew his mate well enough to recognize when she was genuinely disturbed. Without another word, he took another step toward her. Instinctively, Elara stepped back. His brows furrowed. "You're certain someone was w
"Dad, I don't want to get married", Elara practically yelled in front of her father who was too busy to be even bothered by her complaints, too much caught up in his files and materialistic world. "You don't have any choice Elara, you have to marry him, he is the only one who can save my collapsin
"Wait, isn't that a little too casual a way of announcing something this huge?" Lyra exclaimed dramatically, placing a hand over her chest. Beside her, Leo nodded in agreement. "Seriously. You just dropped that like you're talking about the weather." A few chuckles echoed around the room. Theo
Heavy breaths echoed through the chamber as Theo captured Leo's lips once again, drawing him into a kiss that left the Beta utterly breathless. Leo's hand pressed weakly against Theo's chest, an attempt to create even the smallest distance between them. But the Alpha merely caught his wrist with
"No, actually, on a serious note, why are you sending Leo here?" Elara asked, finally pulling Lucien out of the awkward silence that had settled over the room. Beside her, Lyra immediately straightened. "Yes! I want to know too," she chimed in, curiosity practically dripping from her voice. Luci
