Chapter 14: Imagine Dragons - Believer
Luna was already turning away, her hands clenched at her sides. "Oh, fuck off, Kyllian!"
She stormed ahead. Kyllian grinned, watching her go, admiration flickering in his amused gaze.
"Get your things ready, Princess," he called after her, completely unbothered. "We leave in a few minutes."
She didn’t look back.
She just raised her arm high in the air and gave him the finger.
He laughed. Loudly. Oh, this was going to be fun.

Kyllian knew that bringing Luna here was going to mess with his head in more ways than one. He wasn’t a romantic. He wasn’t soft. And he definitely wasn’t the kind of Alpha who spent his time fluffing pillows and drawing bubble baths for a royal mate. That kind of pampering might’ve been her norm back in the castle where golden trays delivered breakfast in bed but this... this was real life. Pack life. Dirt. Sweat. Loyalty. Duty.
She was going to be his Luna, not some pampered tiara-wearing accessory who smiled and waved while sipping imported wine. No, she had to earn her place here. His people had to respect her. Love her. Trust her. Which meant she couldn’t waltz in acting like she owned the place and expect to be treated like a queen.
She stood beside him, her hair gently tousled, gazing up at the packhouse—the one that would soon become her home—Kyllian forced himself to focus. This was good. This was manageable. He wasn’t going to combust. Probably.
