I breathed out slowly, locking eyes with him, determined to mask my unease. “Alpha,” I said, my tone gentle yet firm, “You have been my mate for years now, but can feel it. Is there anything you hide from me?"
Alpha Asher waved away my concerns, assuring me that no secrets were lurking in the shadows. He had laid bare everything, from the past to the present, leaving me with no reason to ask further.

Alpha Asher and I had carefully arranged everything, entrusting the elders with this important task.
Before she stepped into this new chapter, the healer needed to assess her health to ensure she was ready and free from any complications.
Alpha Asher was buried in his responsibilities this week, so I took Beatrice to the infirmary by myself.
As we walked, Beatrice suddenly blurted out, “Dad won’t let me cut my hair. I think short hair is cool, but long hair feels uncomfortable.”
Since last week, Beatrice had been under Alpha Asher’s care, freeing me to fully attend to my responsibilities as Luna of Moon Valley.
Even though I desperately wanted to cater to my daughter’s wishes, I knew Alpha Asher would be livid.
