“How do you feel?” Mearez pulled me toward the window, scanning my eyes and body as if searching for hidden wounds. “You don’t need to be polite. I know he can be… intense in bed.”
I lowered my gaze and gave a small nod.
“I’m fine.”
“You have no bruises?” she pressed, taking my hand gently. “Hmm?”
I shook my head and met her eyes, sighing. Her care was genuine, and it only made me love and respect her
more.
“I have no bruises, He only… choked me. But I’m fine.”
She blinked at me, her expression softening with apology before she exhaled slowly and nodded.
“I heard you issued a duel?” she asked, then added, “Lycannar seems to be taking it lightly. It’s as if he believes you’ll win.”
My gaze drifted from Princess Mearez to Lycannar, who was speaking with Hades across the hall.
“I can fight. He knows that. We spar.”
“You spar?!” she gasped, almost horrified. “With… Lycannar?”
“You sound terrified.”
“I’m surprised,” she admitted. “He didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“Not at all. He’s only primal when we get intimate.”
To that, Princess Mearez caressed my palm gently, her voice dropping to a soft vow.
“Listen. You’re not alone anymore. The Blood family, especially me, Hades, and Serena will always be in your corner. If you need anything, Zephyrine… absolutely anything… don’t hesitate to ask.”
“Princess Mearez…”
“Call me Mearez,” she interrupted with a warm smile. “You’re my younger brother’s joy. For that, I will forever worship you.”
Goosebumps spread over my arms. She truly appreciated me, not just for being here, but for accepting Lycannar… and for giving myself to him. She knew. Everyone knew.
I nodded my thanks, but before I could speak, Lycannar approached, his presence drawing my gaze down shyly.
“It’s late. Are you sure you want to go home?”

“Yes. The Dusk household will be worried.”
“I’ll walk you. Come.”
I nodded and glanced toward his family still seated at the table.
“I’ll go say goodbye first.”
Leaving him and his sister, I approached the table. Their conversation faded as I bowed slightly.
“Thank you for the meal. I’ll take my leave now.”
“So soon?” Baron asked.
“I’ve been here since last night.”
“Oh, alright. Which pack do you live in?” he asked, but before I could answer, Eiryn spoke.

“She’s been in Hue Pack for the past five years. Recently moved to White Pack.” She met my gaze with unnerving precision. “You’ll attend the council meetings as the King’s woman, won’t you?”
I froze. A sudden responsibility I wasn’t ready for.
“You can take this way too. Besides, I want to show you something.”
