CHAPTER 51

ZAVIERI watched Aria's expression change the moment I mentioned our wedding. She pulled away from my embrace and sat up in bed, leaning against the headboard. Her sudden withdrawal caught me off guard."Babe, what's wrong?" I asked, my voice tinged with concern.She avoided my gaze, fidgeting with the edge of the blanket. "I'm not sure about getting married to you, Zavier.”Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. "What do you mean?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.She took a deep breath, finally looking up at me. "I don't want to be queen. I want freedom, Zavier. I don't want to be trapped in the palace all the time, and I definitely don't want to be treated like a fertility machine.”I stared at her, trying to process what she was saying. "Aria, being queen is an honour. It's a responsibility, yes, but it's also a privilege. Why don't you want it?”She shook her head, her eyes filled with a mixture of frustration and sadness. "I don't want to have people following me all th

CHAPTER 52

IRISHI was walking in the castle gardens when I saw the silhouette of something or someone. I was about to go closer when they moved, causing me to throw my basket and shriek. But it was none other than the king.“Easy Irish, easy,” he said.“Your Majesty? You spooked my wolf out of me,” I said, as I tried to catch my breath.He chuckled lightly. “What are you doing, wandering about at night?”I showed my basket to him.“I went to pick the herbs as they are still fresh. Those are my babies you know.”“Of course,” he acknowledged and his smile slowly disappeared.“May I?” I ask, gesturing to the space beside him and he nodded.“Is everything okay?” I enquired, observing he wasn't his usual jovial self. “I mean, you out here alone is pretty much unusual.”“It's Aria,” he said flatly.“Aria?” I arched a brow. “What's with her this time?”“She doesn't want to be queen. I can't make someone else my queen except my mate. But she doesn't want to. She said she doesn't want to become some fert

CHAPTER 53

IRISHAs the days passed, I watched Aria closely. She was still grumpy and distant, but there was a determination in her eyes that hadn’t been there before. Since the king was barely around, she hardly slept in his bedroom, rather she spent time in hers.She continued to sneak out, training with Onyx in secret. I admired her strength and resolve, but I couldn’t shake the feeling of impending disaster.One evening, as I was heading to Aria’s chambers with a fresh pot of tea, I heard voices again. This time, it wasn’t an argument, but a low, intense conversation. I hesitated at the door, listening for a moment.“I can’t keep doing this, Onyx,” Aria’s voice said, filled with frustration.At the mention of his name, I grew worried. Aree had the guts to bring a man to her bedroom? Was she nuts? What if the king decided to check on her?“You’re getting stronger, Aria,” Onyx replied. “But you have to be careful. Zavier is not a fool. He’ll notice if you’re not careful.”“I know,” she said, s

CHAPTER 54

THIRD PERSON POVClaude had been entrusted with many tasks during his time in the palace, but delivering urgent news to the king was always the most nerve-wracking. This time, panic was etched on his face as he hurried through the corridors. He reached the king's office, his mind racing, and in his haste, he forgot to knock.Zavier was in his office lost in his thoughts, staring blankly at a document on his desk. The sudden intrusion startled him, and he looked up with a scowl. "Claude, what is the meaning of this?" he demanded.Claude's face was flushed with fear. "Forgive me, Your Majesty," he stammered as he approached cautiously, "but it's urgent.”He looked up, his expression unreadable. "Speak, Claude.”He swallowed.“If you don't have anything to say, you could leave. I hate this disgusting habit of yours. Have you suddenly forgotten how you talk?!” He lashed.Claude was taken aback but he knew the king was angry. “Aria... she's in the hospital.”Alarm shot through Zavier. He h

CHAPTER 55

ZAVIERI woke up with a start, my vision blurry as I tried to make sense of the chaos around me. The first thing I saw was Zavier, his fist crashing into Onyx’s face, over and over, blood splattering with each blow. Onyx’s face was already a mess, his features barely recognizable. Zavier was shouting, demanding answers, but I could barely hear him over the pounding in my head.“Zavier, stop!” I screamed, my voice hoarse and desperate. “Please, stop!”Zavier paused mid-punch, his chest heaving with fury. He turned to look at me, his eyes wild with anger and concern. Slowly, he let go of Onyx, who slumped to the ground, gasping for breath.The room was silent except for Onyx’s labored breathing and the rapid thudding of my heart. Zavier’s expression softened as he looked at me, but the anger was still simmering just beneath the surface. He stood up, wiping the blood from his knuckles, and approached my bedside."Aria," he said, his voice softer but still edged with frustration. "How are

CHAPTER 56

IRISHCallister’s lips were warm and soft against mine, and for a moment, I let myself get lost in the kiss, in the feeling of his arms around me. I grabbed his head in the process of deepening the kiss and he leaned it and began to fumble with my buttons.I leaned into him, deepening the kiss. He let out a low growl and pinned me to the bed with his body, his fingers caressing the insides of my thighs. But then, as always, thoughts of Aria crept into my mind, and I found myself pulling away, my heart heavy with worry.Callister frowned, his dark eyes searching my face. “What’s wrong, Irish? You’ve been stressed lately. Is something bothering you?”I forced a smile, trying to brush off his concern. “It’s just work,” I said, my voice sounding hollow even to my own ears. “There’s a lot going on right now.”Callister noticed my silence and took my hand. “What’s on your mind?”I shook my head. “It's nothing, I promise. Mood swings, perhaps.”He didn’t look convinced. “Is it about Aria?” h

CHAPTER 57

ZAVIERI lingered in my office, drowning in the endless paperwork and decisions that came with being king. It was easier to stay here than to go back to Aria. Her presence both comforted and distressed me. I loved her deeply, but her recent behaviour left me frustrated and angry. How had things gotten so out of hand?Aria had been my sweet girl, but within weeks of being in the kingdom, she had become agitated and reckless. She didn’t listen to anyone, not even me. How was I supposed to lead when my mate was constantly challenging my authority? I didn’t want to be a tyrant, but Aria made it difficult. Every conversation turned into a fight, and I craved peace at home. The pack's demands were already a heavy burden.I slumped back in my chair, staring at the ceiling. The thought of running away had crossed my mind more than once. I was losing my sanity and couldn’t remember the last time I slept properly.A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. "Come in," I called out, trying t

CHAPTER 58

ARIAI needed a break. After spending so much time in my office, the invitation to an event was a welcomed distraction. My betas, Claude and Callister, accompanied me, and I felt a small sense of relief at leaving the confines of the palace. At the occasion, we were given a VIP section, a perk of my status as king. The finest wine flowed freely, and although I drank quite a bit, I remained sober, my mind too restless to succumb to the alcohol.I tried not to think about Aria or the turmoil between us. Instead, my thoughts wandered to my family, the duty I carried as king, and the immense weight of responsibility. I turned to my betas, seeking reassurance. "Am I doing a good job as king?”Claude nodded earnestly. "You're doing a lot, Zavier. Don't be so hard on yourself.”I laughed softly, but the sound was hollow. "That's a lie, Claude. I'm not doing a good job. I'm failing. Everything is falling apart.”My betas exchanged worried glances. They could see the cracks in my facade. Calli

CHAPTER 59

ARIAI woke up early, though I wasn’t sure what time it was exactly. The moon was still visible, though not glowing, and the sound of crickets filled the air. I glanced over at Zavier, still asleep beside me. He had pleasured me last night, leaving me to deal with my own lingering desire. Demon.I was glad he could finally sleep. He looked so peaceful, yet the dark circles under his eyes and his pallor worried me. He had been drinking, and I had never seen the king in such a state until yesterday. How many bottles had he Fakenham? Did he drink because of me or the pressure of the kingdom?I touched his forehead gently I hoped he wasn't sick. He looked preety, so pretty I could paint a portrait of him and put it in our bedroom. Being with zavier was enough to let me know how much I missed him and wanted him around.I slipped out of bed quietly and went to the bathroom. When I returned, I was startled to find Zavier sitting up, wide awake. I could swear my wolf had left my body. "Your

CHAPTER 60

ARIAThe morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. Today was the day I could finally leave the palace grounds again. The thought filled me with a joy I hadn’t felt in weeks. I had promised Zavier I wouldn’t misuse this privilege, and though he wasn’t entirely convinced, he was willing to trust me again. His trust meant everything to me, and I was determined not to let him down.I jumped out of bed, my heart racing with excitement. After a quick shower, I slipped into a simple yet elegant dress. It was a soft lavender colour, with a fitted waist and a flowing skirt that swayed with every step I took. I wanted to look beautiful, but not overly done. Today was about feeling free and enjoying the outdoors.“Beatrix!” I called out as I made my way to the kitchen. Beatrix, the head maid, turned and smiled warmly at me.“Good morning, my lady. You seem particularly bright today,” she said, her eyes twinkling.“I am, Beatrix. I’m going out to the garden wit
