The garden was bathed in the soft glow of twilight, the last streaks of sunlight fading into a deep indigo sky. Lanterns hung delicately from wrought iron posts, their gentle light casting warm, flickering shadows over the stone pathways. Lyra leaned back on the bench, the evening air cool against her skin, a glass of deep red wine cradled in her hand.

Kane sat beside her, his broad frame relaxed yet powerful. He swirled his own glass absently, his eyes trained on the horizon where stars began to emerge. For a rare moment, the world outside their sanctuary felt distant, its chaos muted.

“I wish every night could be like this,” Lyra murmured, breaking the comfortable silence. Her voice was soft, almost wistful.

Kane turned to her, a small smile playing on his lips. “Peaceful? Or with wine and a garden?”

She laughed, the sound light and genuine. “Both. Though I think the company matters more.”

His gaze softened, and he reached out, brushing his knuckles gently along her cheek. “Then I’m

    The stars hung like glittering jewels in the night sky as the last vestiges of wine lingered on Lyra’s lips. She felt warm and light, not just from the alcohol but from the magnetic presence of Kane beside her. His hand rested on the small of her back as they made their way through the quiet castle corridors, the weight of their earlier conversation easing into the background.“You’re quiet,” he observed, his voice low and husky in the dimly lit hallway.“Just thinking,” Lyra replied, her gaze flicking up to meet his. “About how impossibly perfect this night feels.”A mischievous smile tugged at Kane’s lips. “Perfect? I thought you didn’t like being idle.”“I don’t,” she admitted, her own smile mirroring his. “But being here with you… it feels different. Right.”Kane stopped abruptly, his hand tightening on her waist to draw her closer. The air between them crackled with unspoken desire, the heat of his gaze making her pulse race.“You make everything feel right, Lyra,” he said softly

    The morning sun poured through the tall windows of the dining hall, casting warm, golden light across the table set for a royal breakfast. Kane and Lyra arrived hand in hand, their bond apparent in the way their fingers intertwined and the soft smiles they shared. The King was already seated at the head of the table, sipping a cup of dark tea and surveying the array of dishes before him.“Good morning,” the King greeted them, his voice steady but carrying an unmistakable warmth. He gestured to the seats beside him. “Join me. It seems the castle hasn’t quite settled after last night’s festivities.”Lyra exchanged a glance with Kane before settling into her seat. Plates of freshly baked bread, fruit, and cured meats were placed before them by attentive servants, along with steaming mugs of spiced tea.“You both seemed to enjoy moment of peace.” the King continued, his sharp eyes flicking between them. “Though, I suspect your minds are already on what comes next.”Kane nodded, his expres

    The sun had risen high above the castle, casting warm rays onto the banners fluttering from the spires. Inside the grand council chamber, Lyra and Kane sat side by side at the long table, their expressions calm but focused. Opposite them were representatives from three allied territories and one neutral region - the latter of which was crucial to the kingdom’s strategy.The air was tense with expectation, and the soft rustle of parchment and low murmurs among the gathered envoys did little to ease the pressure. Kane’s hand rested lightly on the table, his fingers drumming a quiet rhythm that Lyra recognized as a sign of his simmering impatience.“We’ve all heard the reports,” Lyra began, her voice steady, cutting through the quiet hum of the room. “The Shadow Order is amassing forces to the south. This is no longer a hypothetical threat - it’s a certainty. If they breach our borders, they won’t stop until everything we hold dear is under their control.”Lord Bertram, the representativ
