KING AZRIEL CAELUM FENRIS
In a kingdom ruled by bloodline laws and broken fates, Elira Virelle Nightborne was never supposed to be chosen. Born of a banished clan, hidden beneath the ashes of ancient disgrace, Elira has spent her life in the shadows-quiet, loyal, unseen. A year later, the kingdom prepares for the Royal Luna Selection, an occasion where the Alpha King must claim a mate under the sacred Line of Luna Decree-a brutal law that demands his Luna come from the same elite bloodline that once exiled Elira's ancestors. The Aetherclaw. Alpha King Azriel Fenris scents Elira as his mate and doesn't care about decrees, clans, or curses. He wants her. He'll fight for her. Even if there's a law to follow The chamber was lit only by the flickering torches lining the stone walls. Twelve robed figures circled the obsidian table, silver crests gleaming on their cloaks. At the head sat Elder Malrik, voice of the Council and protector of the Luna Decree. Elder Malrik: "The Alpha King has scented his mate." (His voice was cold, final.) A sharp murmur rippled through the room. Elder Calix, the youngest, leaned forward. Elder Calix: "And she is not from the Luna Line?" Elder Seraphiel: (hissing) "No. She's from the Nightborne branch-scattered blood, long thought dead. A forgotten line." Elder Ilyra: "The Decree cannot be undone. The Luna must descend from the Aetherclaw bloodline. It is the law that binds power to purity." Elder Malrik: "And yet, fate dares challenge us. The girl lives. The bond is forming." Elder Caedmon: "If the King mates outside the bloodline, the Royal Crescent's balance tilts. Our hold on the throne loosens. The prophecy breaks." he spoke quietly Elder Seraphiel: "It must not be allowed. We sacrificed too much to ensure every Luna Queen came from the same lineage. The power of the packs lies in that union." Elder Calix: "He will resist us. Azriel is not his father." Elder Ilyra: "Then perhaps... he must be reminded that fate bows to the law, not the other way around." Elder Malrik: "If she will not reject him, then we must make her disappear. Quietly. Permanently." A tense silence followed. Only the soft echo of distant howls filled the space. Elder Caedmon: "And if the King rises in rebellion?" Elder Malrik: "Then we'll crown his ashes and call it peace." Kingdom laws are never broken, but in Azriel case he destroys them....... find out what happens next.
