Chapter: Chapter 20Everly’s POVI worked tirelessly alongside Alex in the ensuing months, lending my healing gifts wherever needed as order was restored. My control grew steadily under the King's patient tutelage and I gained the packs' grudging respect. Still, old scars ran deep and doubts lingered in quiet moments.I wandered the royal gardens one moonlit night, breathing in the heady scents of late blooms when Alex's familiar presence stole up behind me. "You've done so much good, my darling. Yet I fear you do not see your worth," he murmured, circling strong arms around my waist. My body froze, memories of past betrayals rising unbidden before logic reminded my heart that Alex had proven himself in countless ways. "I am trying," I gathered courage and replied in a fainted voice, relaxing into his reassuring embrace though walls remained. Alex's responding chuckle rumbled through my bones, easing lingering tension. "Then try this - open your heart to me fully as your intended mate. The

However, he persisted struggled, and managed to tear the beast off my weary body. Dimly, I registered a glowing energy rising from my palms to meet the darkness seeping from my many wounds.

Chapter: Chapter 18 Alex’s POVDays passed, and they turned into weeks since I brought Everly to my kingdom. It has not been an easy task to win her heart. But I have tirelessly tried my best to do so, despite several handles. She has persisted in resisting the idea of becoming someone else’s mate after the betrayal by Lucas that left her very heartbroken. I have always tried to involve her in most of my activities to keep her close to me. Amazingly, she has proved to be so courageous over the past few weeks. From my keen observation, I realized there was something special with this Omega girl. I don’t think she is just an ordinary Omega. We were in a carriage in the company of Everly as I have always engaged her in almost all my activities to keep her closer to me. Everly stared out the carriage window as the sprawling Lycan territories rolled by, and she seemed lost in thought. Probably, her emotions were going back to the trauma of Lucas and Kiran’s betrayals. I have always notic

Chapter: Chapter 16Everly’s POVI padded silently as mist through Elysium's vaulted halls, moonlight limning ancient runes carved deep into polished granite. Though utter peace reigned, my thoughts churned too tumultuously to rest this night. Since arriving broken and wary, much had changed within me, drawn inexorably under Alex's patient care and tutelage. No longer was I merely surviving—each sunrise now brought hope, purpose, and even hints of happiness stealing back into my guarded heart.Yet change within also meant facing secrets long buried, and my dreams as of late unsettled me greatly. Each night they transported my beneath open skies, following the pull of some nameless yearning across glittering turf I somehow knew, yet could not place. And always at the journey end awaiting me stood Alex, regarding me not with his usual care but something deeper, more primal. Something awakened something within in turn that both thrilled and terrified my wounded soul.I shivered, halting upon a

Chapter: Chapter 15Everly’s POVOne sunny afternoon, the troupe crossed a swift river via a wooden bridge. I lingered at the rear to drink the chill water's refreshment. This river always reminded me of Alex’s fun moments that we have had a couple of times. The first time he intended to show me that river, I got pricked by a thorn and our journey ended there. He carried me on his shoulder back to the palace and that was the first time we mated. After that, he has taken me to this river a couple of times. My bond towards him had started to be strong though I have always tried to resist those feelings. I have never believed that I would ever fall in love again after Lucas betrayed me. I was convinced that I had been cursed by the moon's goddess. Suddenly cries rang out - the aged boards ahead collapsed under several heavily armed males' weight. I instinctively shoved energy into my limbs and dove, hitting the current just as the section fell away. The screams were becoming louder and terrified
