JACKSON'S POVI took Gina straight to the palace doctor with the help of the guards. Gina’s fingers clutched mine tightly but I didn’t mind. The doctor had just confirmed what we had been hoping for—Gina was pregnant. I could hardly believe it. It was the best news of my life. Finally, I was going to have a child, an heir. It was everything I had wanted, everything I had hoped for all these years. I looked at Gina as her face glowed with joy. Her golden hair fell across her face and her eyes sparkled with happiness. She had never looked more beautiful than she did in this moment. I leaned in and kissed her forehead, whispering, "Thank you, Gina. You’ve given me everything I could ever want."She smiled, but there was something behind it. I didn’t pay it much mind. She was probably just tired. We had every reason to be happy. This was our moment.When the doctor gave us permission to leave, we walked out of the doctor’s office, I couldn’t wait to share the news with my mother. Gina w

As soon as I got into my chambers, there was a knock on my door. I tilted my head to the side, groaning. I couldn't even catch a break, could I? "Come in" I said. The door opened, revealing Alexandra. "Alex" I said, taking off my jacket "What is it?" "The council is already in session. They're waiting for you."I sighed deeply. The evening had been long enough, but duty called. There was no escaping it. "Give me a moment to change."Alexandra shook her head. "They’ve already been in there for an hour. No time. It’s important."I ran my hand through my hair, fighting back my frustration. "Of course it is." I said, straightening my shirt. When I looked decent enough, I nodded at Alexandra to lead the way. I just got back and I wasn’t in the mood for complaints from the council, but I knew their grumblings would be inevitable. I also had an idea why they called me for this emergency meeting. Honestly, I was expecting it. I knew them too well. The walk through the halls was quiet,

ELISE'S POVI sat on the edge of the bed, brushing through my hair absentmindedly as I stared at the walls of my new room. It was still hard to believe that this was where I’d be staying for a while. It was so different from my old life. The people here seemed friendly but I had a feeling that a lot of them wouldn't like the fact that I was here. A knock at the door jolted me from my thoughts. I stood up, smoothing my dress nervously, and opened it. A maid stood in front of me with a unreadable. She had long, dark hair pulled tightly into a bun, and her brown eyes were full of annoyance. "Hello there," I greeted her "Can I help you?"She huffed slightly, not bothering to hide her annoyance. “I’m Jade. Apparently, I’m your assigned maid.”The way she said it—like it was the most degrading task she could have been given. The way she said "assigned" made it sound like a punishment.I could tell that she didn’t want to be here, and I couldn’t blame her. In a palace full of high-ranking

ELISE'S POVI laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. My heart was still racing from the night’s events. Sleep was impossible. How could I possibly sleep after what happened with Ferris? His scent still lingered in my mind, fresh and intoxicating. The way his hands had gripped me so tightly, yet so tenderly, as if I might slip away at any moment. His touch still burned on my skin, and the kiss—oh, that kiss—it replayed in my mind over and over like a reel. I turned onto my side, hugging my pillow closer, but it did nothing to soothe me. I could still feel the warmth of his lips on mine, the firmness of his body pressing against me as we kissed passionately. How his fingers had grazed the small of my back, sending shivers all through me. How his lips had kissed my neck, making me shiver under his touch. I had wanted more. The moment he stopped, it had taken everything in me not to pull him back, to beg him to keep going.Why did he stop?I sighed heavily, rolling onto my back again, st

FERRIS' POVI rubbed my temple, trying to ignore the mounting frustration as Alpha Pretel Rodriguez—better known as Alpha Rod—stared back at me. His arms were crossed and his jaw was set in a stubborn expression. The old Alpha’s graying hair, thick beard, and stubborm face made him look as immovable as the mountains that held his iron ore. I’d come into this meeting hopeful, ready to strike a mutually beneficial deal, but Rod had been more difficult than I expected.Rod’s pack was known for its rich iron ore deposits, something I’d hoped to exchange for the gold my pack was blessed with. It should have been a straightforward trade, one that could solidify relations between our packs and give us both the resources we needed. But Rod had thrown everything off when he’d discovered a small vein of gold on his land."Why would I trade iron for something I’m already finding on my land?" Alpha Rod spoke. "I don’t need your gold, Ferris. We’ll mine what we have and expand our own coffers."
