“This had been a long time coming, you know that as well as I raiden. We are not fit for a marraige like we have.” I reply.“Thats’ noncsese! This entire union was made precisely because of the enfits.”Once upon a time, under this very same sky, we had been young and unburneded, running through the
(Siena's POV)I am stunned. Of all the possible outcomes for this narrative, this is the one that eluded my attention.My fingers tremble slightly as I clench my fists at my sides, willing a composure that threatens to break at every turn.“Why?” I demand, my voice raw. “Why refuse divorce? Windhow
Over Lila's shoulder, my gaze locks helplessly onto Siena again, and my chest tightens as I see the raw hurt flash briefly across her delicate features before she quickly masks it behind practiced composure.Her warm eyes shut instantly, walls slamming firmly back into place, leaving nothing but col

My pulse races unsteadily, and I stare at his outstretched palm.Refusing would humiliate us both further, yet accepting means enduring the unbearable closeness of a bond that remains torturously broken.Swallowing hard, I force my trembling hand into his firm grasp.The instant our skin touches, el
(Siena's POV)The air is quiet but for the murmurs of anticipation echoing softly from gathered Alphas and Lunas.My heart pounds heavily beneath my ribs, nerves fluttering uncomfortably in my stomach.Today marks the final day of the second competition—the day that could make or break everything I'
Something about that mark has always unsettled me—an unease I've stubbornly ignored for far too long. My jaw tightens sharply as I meet her expectant gaze."Nothing is guaranteed," I reply coldly, watching her smile falter again, hurt flickering briefly across her lovely face. I feel a pang of irri
(Raiden's POV)I stand at the window as dawn breaks across the horizon, splintering the sky into shades of gold and crimson.The vibrant colors should soothe me, but instead, they mock my restlessness, highlighting the turmoil I feel deep within. The sleepless night has left me drained yet wired, my
