BEOFI wandered through the garden, bored, waiting for that shitty meeting to end—it wouldn’t solve a damn thing.One look at the disgust on that Regent’s face was enough to know we weren’t welcome here.And the main reason King Aldric had sent me wasn’t being fulfilled either.Women still fled from me like I carried some contagious plague—worse here than even among supernatural females.I mean, their elemental men looked like dwarves next to me. Of course they’d run away in fear. I huffed, annoyed, those absurd feelings of self-pity creeping into my chest.Like always, I shoved them down without mercy. So what if I never find my mate? Better that way.It would be the final blow to my pride—to be rejected by my own fated partner."Money is the one thing I have too much of," I muttered bitterly.My wolf, Soul, remained as indifferent as ever—we disagreed on too many things.But I knew there was no other choice. I’d keep paying for sex with she-wolves whenever the need to fuck became un

NARRATOR"Sir, our family has been protecting the Realm for generations!" Baltazar shouted, overcoming his initial fear and replacing it with genuine outrage."My son was only defending a poor elemental girl from this witch’s attack!" He pointed at Katherine but took several steps back at the roar of the powerful lycan guarding the woman."You see?! They are savages, murderers! Who knows how many elemental lives they’ve ended in their duchy? I was deceived! How many elemental men and women have they abused?!""THAT IS A LIE!" Katherine couldn't endure so much falsehood any longer.She pleaded with Elliot to change, but Vorath was stubborn. No one would imprison him while she was in danger."Everyone, calm down, please." Suddenly, amidst the chaos, Sigrid’s soft yet firm voice rang out.Standing beside Silas as his equal, her aura was equally powerful. It was hard not to respect her."Tell me what happened. We will hold a trial here and now, and the guilty will be punished...""But..."

NARRATORAnd just like that, a casual conversation about why he got rid of his two fanatics."Do you want me to give you a medal for your good deed?" Sigrid didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for their deaths."I want that reward, and you know it very well.""Silas, control yourself and talk to the Dukes," the Selenia shot back, rolling her eyes. He needed to leave her ass alone.She stepped away for a moment to have the bodies removed and to check on the unconscious commoner."I... I don’t know what to say." Katherine was speechless, just like everyone else.What the hell had just happened? The way everything had taken such a drastic turn was unbelievable."First of all, Duke of Everhart, I know very well that you haven’t harmed anyone in this Realm." Silas locked eyes with the beast.Elliot listened from within his lycan form, feeling a strange mix of emotions.From the moment he had watched his greatest captor’s head roll so effortlessly, something inside him shifted. The ma

SIGRIDThe cry of my daughter, my firstborn."Silas," I gasped, my voice shaky, sinking into the soft fur blanket beneath me.I could feel more fluids flowing between my legs, the pain barely subsiding. The air inside the cave was thick with intense scents.A tiny bundle was gently placed on my chest.I opened my eyes and saw her, a wrinkled little thing with platinum-white hair like Silas. She was so small, her skin still red from birth, her tiny mouth trembling in a pout as if she wanted to cry again.Her little nose twitched, recognizing my scent, and that alone seemed to soothe her."It’s our little wolf, Sigrid. She’s so tiny... Is she... is she okay?" Silas looked down at her, his expression filled with concern.Our pups had arrived earlier than expected, which was the only reason I had dared to leave home in the first place.I watched her too, feeling the same worry as a fresh wave of pain crashed through me."Love, I don’t know... I feel like my breasts are full. Should I try

SIGRID«"But now you have our pups, Silas. I created a family for you, love. You will never be alone again." My fingers traced along his sharp cheekbone.His gaze devoured me, half-lidded like a beast resting in the depths. Our guardian beast."I have them, and I will protect them so that no one ever harms them, so you never have to suffer because of them," he said, and there was something deeper hidden in his words."Why would you say that? Who would want to harm our babies? Silas… tell me whatever it is you need to say." I tried to sit up, but he stopped me.He gently pushed me back down, reaching for the water we had collected from the underground stream. Dipping a cloth into it, he began cleaning me."Laziel is special, you saw it," he murmured, focused on his task.He looked calm, but my heart was pounding against my ribs, ready to burst."He is neither a wolf, nor a vampire, nor a sorcerer. And since he’s male, he shouldn’t be a Selenia either." His gaze flicked to mine for a br
