Whispers of the Mate Bond

The morning after the Royal Hunt, Blackthorn Palace awakened beneath a blanket of silver mist. The forest surrounding the kingdom was unusually quiet, and even the birds seemed to be waiting for something.Deep within the palace gardens, Seraphina knelt beside a bed of moon lilies, carefully trimming away the withered blossoms. She had always found peace among growing things. Plants never lied—they simply flourished when loved and withered when neglected.Sometimes, she wished human hearts were just as simple.As she reached for another flower, a strange warmth spread across the mark hidden beneath her collarbone. She froze. Her hand instinctively covered the place where Killian had marked her years ago.The faded mate mark was glowing. It lasted only for a heartbeat, and then it disappeared."What was that?" she whispered to herself.Across the palace grounds, Killian was training with Commander Roland.

The grand ballroom had been transformed into a moonlit paradise; white roses, moon lilies, and silver ribbons decorated every pillar, while musicians tuned their instruments at the far end of the hall.Tonight was the Moonlight Ball. It was an ancient Blackthorn tradition where every member of the royal pack celebrated the blessing of the Moon Goddess.

The Queen in Her Own Time

The kiss changed everything. It wasn't because it magically erased the lingering pain of the past, nor because it restored the five long years they had lost. It was because, for the very first time since Seraphina had returned to Blackthorn, neither of them lay awake wondering if there would be a tomorrow together.There would be. And they would build it patiently, one day at a time.The morning after the Moonlight Ball, the palace buzzed with a lighter kind of excitement. Servants smiled knowingly whenever Killian and Seraphina crossed paths in the corridors, and the musicians who had performed at the ball were still gossiping about how the Alpha King had completely forgotten his final ceremonial bow because he simply couldn't stop looking at his mate.Even Commander Roland wasn't spared from the good-natured teasing.Kael leaned heavily against a marble pillar in the courtyard, grinning broadly. "So..."Roland let out a long, defeated sigh. "So?""I believe you owe me five silver co
