_Alina's POV_"We have arrived," Alaric said softly, squeezing my hand one last time before letting go. The carriage came to a gentle stop, and the driver opened the door, allowing the noise and activity of the Capital to flood in.Stepping out of the carriage, I was immediately struck by the sheer vibrancy and energy of the city. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. The wide streets were alive with activity. Cars and horse-drawn carriages wove through the traffic, their bells ringing crisply and engines roaring. I was captivated, my eyes widening in wonder as I took it all in.The streets were lined with exquisite shops, their windows displaying fine garments, sparkling jewelry, and a variety of other goods that seemed almost magical in their beauty. Lively market stalls spilled out onto the walkways, vendors shouting and bargaining with customers. The air was filled with the rich scents of fresh bread, roasting meats, and exotic spices. Everywhere I looked, there was somet

_Alaric's POV_As I stepped into the royal council chamber, the sunlight streaming through the tall windows cast a warm glow over the room. The chamber was grand, with high ceilings adorned with intricate carvings and tapestries depicting our kingdom's rich history. The large, circular table at the center was surrounded by seats reserved for the king's closest advisors. At the head of the table sat my father, King Edgar, a figure of reverence and authority. Beside him, my mother, Queen Eleanor, radiated grace and wisdom, her gentle smile ever-present."Father, Mother," I began, "I have completed the inspection of the various wolf packs as you requested."My father leaned forward, his eyes gleaming with interest and approval. "Tell us what you found, Alaric."I detailed my findings, describing the strengths and weaknesses of each pack, their needs, and my suggestions for improving their governance. As I spoke, I noticed my mother's gentle smile widen, a look of pride in her eyes.I det

_Alaric's POV_As we approached my car, I couldn't help but notice the awe in Alina's and Juliet's eyes. It was a sight to behold—a marvel of modern engineering that few ordinary people had the opportunity to encounter. They circled the shiny vehicle several times, examining each detail with curiosity. The design of the car was starkly different from the carriages they were familiar with; it was more enclosed and modern, giving off a futuristic feel that seemed to captivate them entirely."Isn’t it beautiful?" I asked, unable to hide my pride in the automobile. "It’s a symbol of progress and innovation."Alina’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she ran her fingers lightly over the car’s smooth exterior. “It’s incredible, Alaric. I’ve never seen anything like it.”Juliet nodded in agreement. “It’s so different from the carriages we know. It feels like something out of a dream.”“Would you like to take a closer look inside?” I offered while opening the car door.They both nodded eagerly

_Alina's POV_Alaric's presence was so commanding that it instantly transformed the atmosphere inside the silk shop. His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, pinning the shopkeeper in place and making him visibly nervous. The shopkeeper, clearly startled by the prince's arrival, hurriedly asked Alaric what he needed. Upon seeing Alaric, Elena's expression swiftly changed, surprising me with her quick reaction. She immediately prepared to approach Alaric to greet him.Alaric, however, paid no attention to the shopkeeper or Elena. Instead, he walked over to Juliet and me, presenting us with flowers— a bouquet of red roses for me and white lilies for Juliet. I felt a rush of warmth and gratitude as he handed me the roses, the gesture both kind and deeply personal."Thank you, Alaric," I said softly, my voice filled with appreciation.Juliet echoed my sentiment, "These are beautiful. Thank you."Alaric then turned his attention to the shopkeeper, his expression hardening. "Is this how you usu

_Alina's POV_Before the conversation could continue, the king turned to Alaric. "Have you marked each other yet?"Alaric shook his head. "No, Father. Alina has not yet transformed into her wolf."King Edgar's expression shifted subtly and he seemed to be displeased but, he remained composed out of respect for his son. Queen Eleanora, on the other hand, gave me a warm smile, seemingly impressed by my composed and graceful demeanor.Sensing the king's disapproval, I glanced around nervously and unexpectedly locked eyes with a young girl peeking from a concealed spot. Her eyes were wide with curiosity and excitement. She quickly ducked back but not before I caught her smile.The queen noticed my glance and followed my gaze. "Katie, come out from there," she called gently.Princess Katie, Alaric's younger sister, emerged from her hiding spot, a grin on her face. She had a lively and spirited aura that immediately put me at ease. "Hello, Alina," she said brightly. "I'm Katie. It's so good
