I couldn't sleep that night, my mind consumed with worry for both Alexander and Rebecca. Dragging my tired body out of bed, I got up, got dressed, and put on my mask before heading out to see Victor to make sure both Rebecca and Alexander had left.

But as I descended the staircase, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Alexander standing in the foyer, deep in conversation with Lidia. My steps faltered as I tried to make sense of what I was seeing. Why was he still here? And why was he talking to Lidia of all people?

Stepping behind the wall, I peered around it, trying to watch them to see what was happening. As I strained to hear their conversation, my heart raced with anxiety. But just as I was about to make out their words, a sudden touch on my shoulder made me jump in fright. Whirling around, my eyes widened in shock as I came face to face with Allen.

"Olivia," he whispered. "What are you doing here?"

Clearing my throat, I looked around nervously, trying to think of something to tell

    Alexanders povAs I watched Fay walk away, my heart pounded in my chest. I couldn't believe what my wolf had done, taking control of me and making me hug her. I felt a mix of embarrassment and anger swirling inside me as I clenched my fists."You idiot!" I growled under my breath, glaring at the empty space where Fay had just been. "What were you thinking?"My wolf chuckled darkly in response, its voice echoing in the depths of my mind. "Oh, come on now, Alexander. You can't deny that you enjoyed it," it taunted.I wanted to deny it, but I knew my wolf would not be cheated by me. Your inner wolf is the one who knew you most. I desire to touch her and kiss her, I can cheat anyone else, but my wolf always knew how much I wanted her.Since the first time I met Fay on the ball, I just couldn't let her go. Except that she was my fated mate, the mate bond linked both of us, but there was also something else that caused me could remove my eyes from her.She was gorgeous, like a burning fire

    Olivias pov I was lost in the words of the ancient text when Allen came walking into the library. "Olivia, Victor wants us to meet him out front. He says there's some business in town we need to take care of," he informed me.I sighed, closing the book reluctantly as I followed Allen out of the palace. As we stepped outside, a chill ran down my spine when I saw Alexander standing there with Lidia by his side. My heart skipped a beat as he turned to look at me, his eyes piercing through mine.I quickly looked away from him, not wanting to exict my wolf any more than she was. Victor approached us, his expression serious as he addressed me."Fay, I know you're busy with the twins, but we can't make a royal visit to the village without you," he said apologetically.I nodded, understanding the importance of visiting the village. But deep down, I wished Victor hadn't invited Alexander to come along. "I understand," I replied softly, forcing a smile despite the unease in my chest. "Let's g

    What happened in the village had all the pack members talking, and not in a good way. I knew I had to do something about it, so I went to find Lidia, hoping she would listen to me and see that having Alexander here wasn't a good idea. I went to her room and knocked on the door.Lidia opened the door with a scowl on her face. "What do you want, Fay?" she spat out."I need to talk to you about Alpha Alexander," I said softly.Lidia rolled her eyes. "Oh great, another one of your ridiculous theories about him?""He's causing problems within the pack," I insisted. "He's not good for you."Lidia laughed sarcastically. "And who are you to decide that?”I took a deep breath, trying to keep my cool. "I just want what's best for the pack and you. And after what happened yesterday in the village, the pack members aren't happy.” Lidia crossed her arms defensively. "You're always making everything about you, Fay. Maybe it's not Alpha Alexander causing problems. Maybe it's you."My heart sank at

    After talking with Lidia, it was clear to me that getting rid of Alexander was not going to be easy. I tried my best to avoid him at every turn, but it seemed like he was always one step ahead of me. Everywhere I went, there he was, his piercing gaze following me wherever I went.But what troubled me even more was the sudden change in Allen's behaviour. He had always been kind towards me in a friendly way since our marriage was not a romantic one at all. But lately, he had been surprisingly affectionate, showering me with attention and care whenever Alexander was around.As I made our way to dinner with the royal pack members and elders, I couldn't shake off the strange feeling that something wasn't right. And then I saw her—one of the maids talking to someone in a dark cloak. As I approached them, the mysterious figure quickly slipped away into the shadows."Who were you talking to?" I asked the maid, trying to keep my voice steady, not wanting to scare her."Oh, just a friend," she

    I watch my twins playing with their toys in the playroom. Their laughter fills the room, momentarily distracting me from the events of last night. I can't get the image of that mysterious person talking to the maid. Who could it be? And what were they discussing? I've replayed it a million times in my head, trying to think of anything that I could have missed that might help identify that person, but no matter how much I tried, there was nothing.But as I sit here, watching my children's innocent joy, my thoughts drift to a different memory- the day I gave birth to them. The fear and anxiety that consumed me as I lay in the hospital bed, waiting for them to arrive. All I could think about was how Cassandra had died in childbirth.I remember the pain and uncertainty of those hours, wondering if history would repeat itself. But they entered the world healthy and perfect. The relief and overwhelming love that flooded my heart are feelings I will never forget. I had done it all on my own

    "I think Rebecca might have had something to do with what happened last night."Victor raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback by my accusation. "What makes you say that, Olivia?"I took a deep breath before continuing. "Rebecca has always had a thing for Alexander. I know that she is the one that framed me for Cassandra's death, and I now believe that she had something to do with that.”Victor's expression darkened as he processed my words. "I will have someone contact Rebecca's family to find out her whereabouts. We need to get to the bottom of this."I nodded in agreement. "Thank you, Victor. I just want justice for what happened to Lidia and Cassandra as well.""We are doing everything we can," Victor assured me. "We were unable to find the maid who gave Lidia the wine last night, but our search is ongoing. I promise you, Olivia, we will not rest until we have answers."As I turned to leave, Victor called out to me. "Olivia, wait." I paused, turning back to face him."I know last n

    Alexanders pov. I couldn't shake the image of Fay's fully healed hand from my mind as I made my way to Victor's office. I had never seen anything like it before. We healed fast, but not like that, and the fact that there was no scarring when there should have been left me with so many questions. If Wolfban was in the wine she spilt on herself last night, then her hand would take longer than normal to heal, and it would have left scaling behind. And the fact that she had children as well had my mind going crazy.As I entered Victor's office, he motioned for me to take a seat. His stern expression told me that this meeting was not going to be pleasant."Alpha Alexander," Victor began, his voice cold and authoritative. "Beta Allen has informed me that you were in a part of the palace where you are not allowed. If you ever disobey my orders again, I will have no choice but to remove you from my kingdom.""I'm sorry, Victor. It was just a misunderstanding. I got lost and ran into Fay. I a

    Alexanders povBut I knew better than to disobey Fay's wishes. There was a reason she kept her face hidden, and I needed to respect that I couldn't let my wolf take over here even if I did want to see her face and had come so close to seeing it already today. So, instead, I shielded her from the view of the others while she fixed her mask."Are you okay?" I asked softly as she stood back up, readjusting her mask.She nodded, a hint of gratitude in her eyes as she glanced at me. "Thank you."Before I could reply, my attention was drawn to the guard getting up off the ground. Anger boiled within me as I marched towards him, grabbing him by the throat and pinning him against a tree."How dare you lay a hand on the princess and accuse her of such things!" I growled menacingly, my voice filled with fury.The guard sputtered and struggled against my grip, fear in his eyes. But I held firm, unwilling to let him go. Every inch of me wanted to rip his head clean from his shoulder for what he h

    The gentle hum of the wind rustled through the castle gardens, carrying with it the scent of blooming jasmine and fresh earth. The sun hung low on the horizon, casting a golden hue over the kingdom, painting everything in warm, honeyed light. The Dragon Kingdom—our kingdom—was at peace.A week had passed since the final battle. A week since Nicholas had fallen, his tyrannical reign brought to an end. The scars of war still marked the land, but already, hope had begun to weave its way through the people, through the dragons, and through my own kingdom. Rebuilding had started, and with it, the promise of a future unshackled from fear and a united front between not only ours and their kingdom but also many others.And today… today was the day that I finally got to marry Alexander.The wedding had been a quiet affair, just as I had wanted—just those we loved, those who had stood beside us through the trials that had nearly torn us apart.

    A bright glow surrounded me, cradling me like a guardian made manifest. It was the magic from deep within, awakened not by mere survival but by love—a force transcending the corporeal bounds defined by the fight.The descent slowed, the air holding me in a delicate dance with the elemental magic coursing through my veins. It whispered assurance and a promise returned in kind by the beating heart of the earth itself.As I alighted softly upon the weathered stones of the courtyard, strength and weariness meshed in a delicate balance. The energy wrapped around me, a cocoon of gentle power that ebbed almost tenderly, returning me to the ground with undeniable grace.The world righted itself, the battlefield, once a stage of cacophony and chaos, hushed into a stunned silence, witnessing the impossible shimmer into reality. A breath—my second chance drawn from the earth—and I stood, steady and whole.I looked up to see faces of disbelief switch to ones of hope. Alexander's strides carried h

    Olivias povMy warning echoed in the air, but it was already too late. Behind Elijah, the king’s dragon surgeon moved with terrifying speed, its spear-like tail ready to strike. Everything seemed to slow as the scene unfolded—a cruel dance of shadow and flesh, friend and enemy caught in fate’s grip.Time froze as the dragon’s tail pierced Elijah’s back, ending the moment in brutal finality. Pain and realisation filled his face, his emerald eyes widening in shock. His body crumpled forward, silent in the tragedy he had become a part of."No!" The word tore from my throat, breaking the heavy silence that settled like a shroud. But through my horror, an undeniable truth took shape with each heartbeat—Nicholas’s greatest betrayal wasn’t just in his violence but in the cold decision to sacrifice his own son for power.As Elijah fell to his knees, Nicholas grinned—a wicked smile that could freeze the ocean. He waved the horn, the sound still ringing in my ears, and in that moment, his inten

    Olivia's PovThe sky was painted in shades of crimson and smoke, and the battlefield lay beneath me, a chaotic tapestry of combat and valour. Riding Saphira, my trusted dragon, I felt an unprecedented harmony between us. Her thoughts intertwined with mine, weaving a tapestry of mutual understanding and unity. Together, we were a force of nature, an extension of one another as we dove and soared through the fray.Saphira’s roar resonated inside me, a declaration of war that echoed the battle’s ferocity. Her muscles coiled beneath my legs, and we twisted through the air, engaging our adversaries with a synergy that brought out the raw power within us. Each strike was fluid and precise—a dance of strength and strategy that blurred the lines between rider and dragon. Riding Saphira, I felt a strength I’d never known, as though every heartbeat was in sync with the rhythm of destiny itself.Through the din of clashing swords and bellows, Saphira's voice sizzled like lightning in my mind. *O

    Alexander's POV The battlefield pulsed with chaos, a vast symphony of metal clashing and figures weaving through a smoky haze. I fought with a focused intensity that came from the core of my being. Each movement was purposeful, and each turn of my blade was meticulously calculated. This was more than a war of physicality; it was a contest of spirits fueled by love and vengeance. All around me, my pack surged forward like a tidal wave, wolves overcoming soldiers with primal ferocity. As I caught a glimpse of Olivia soaring overhead on a dragon's back, a wild joy lit me from within. Her presence was like a beacon, a promise that drove me onward, deeper into the heart of conflict. My attention was wrenched upward by the tumultuous struggle above. There, in the sky, dragons twisted and turned in an aerial ballet of might and desperation. King Nicholas and his son, Elijah, battled with a fury that seemed to rend the sky itself. Nicholas's dragon fought with savage intensity, every swi

    Elijah's povThe clamour of the battlefield swelled around me, punctuated by cries and the clash of steel. My heart was a tempest, torn between my loyalty to my father and my love for Olivia. I had never intended to become a pawn in this war, but here I stood, bathed in conflict, with my mind spiralling around the impending chaos. As I left Olivia's side earlier, my frustration boiled over into the tense air. "Cease this madness!" I cried out to the guards, their movements a blur of aggression around me. "These people are not our enemies!" Laughter erupted in response, sardonic and cruel. "The King has spoken, not you, Prince Elijah. We fight until death unless he says otherwise." Disdain twisted within me—a serpent rearing its head. Their insolence, their mindless obedience to Nicholas's bloody decree, was galling. But I knew why they refused me. I wasn’t their king, merely a shadow cast by my father’s ambition, a prince wearing false armour. The world spun with futility. Seeking

    The ground was approaching swiftly beneath me, a swirling mass racing to meet my descent. Every instinct screamed that this was a mistake and that the leap would surely be my undoing. But even as fear clenched my heart, the dragon's scale in my grip pulsed with a warmth that banished doubt. One hundred meters above the earth, however, a shadow loomed. The first dragon I had saved soared to my rescue, swooping beneath me with a grace that defied the chaos of my fall. Relief erupted within me as I landed on its broad back, a breathless gasp escaping my lips. Holding tight to the rough, warm scales, I murmured, "Thank you."The dragon's powerful wings flapped, beating a defiant cadence against the tumultuous winds. It rose into the sky, a guardian taking flight, and together, we soared, the kingdom unfurling beneath us as a tapestry of vibrant life and teetering conflict.As if in a dream borne aloft, hundreds more dragons began to appear, majestic and fierce, emerging from the shadows

    Olivias povI raced through the tunnels with a sense of urgency so intense it felt like a physical force pushing me onward. My breaths were ragged, each inhalation a struggle as I navigated the labyrinthine passages beneath the kingdom. My mind was a whirlwind, and though my plan was half-formed at best, I knew the dragons were my destination—their strength would be paramount in the battle to come.As I emerged into the dragon chamber, the oppressive air filled my lungs, heavy with the scent of fear and confinement. I couldn’t afford to hesitate, even as my heart pounded with the weight of what I was about to do. There they were, magnificent creatures tethered by chains, their eyes pools of ancient wisdom and unfathomable pain.The sight of the three guards was like a cold splash of reality, snapping my senses into sharp relief. The lead guard shouted, “What are you doing here? You can’t be here!” His voice echoed menacingly through the chamber, but I was beyond fear.Panicking would

    Alexanders povThe moment we scaled the wall, chaos erupted like a storm unleashed upon the city. The guards, mere specks below, shouted commands in a futile attempt to contain the inevitable. Before anyone could react, a deafening roar sliced through the pandemonium, and the dragons descended, dark silhouettes against the dawn sky. Each dragon was a testament to terror and power, their scales shimmering with malice as they perched above the city. Fire erupted from their jaws, slicing through the air like molten spears, incinerating everything in their path. The city seemed to collapse inward upon itself, screams of horror mingling with the crackling of flames. Yet, amidst the chaos, my objective remained clear. I needed to reach the palace and confront Nicholas, ensuring he could never threaten Olivia or Sarah again. Victor and the others would search for them, but I would end this once and for all. As we pushed forward, defenders surged toward us, their weapons drawn with the con
