The kingdoms of Arendelle and Valoria had always been in conflict, their feuds
spanning decades. The battles for control of fertile lands and Trade routes had bred deep resentment between the two nations. However, in the face of increasingly pressing external threats, notably the Empire of Thalios, the leaders of the two kingdoms had decided to seal a peace lasting through a matrimonial alliance.

marks of years of reign and war, but his eyes shone with intelligence long live.
"We can no longer afford these internal conflicts," declared King Marcus in a firm voice. "The Empire of Thalios grows in power every day. If we don't let's not unite, they will crush us all. »
Duke Edwyn of Arendelle, a man in his fifties with salt-and-pepper hair, stood in front of him. His features were drawn with worry, but he maintained a dignified posture.
"I understand, Your Majesty," he replied, his voice tinged with gravity. " However, the union of our children should not be just a political act. They must have a chance to adapt to this new reality. »

do you envision our common future? »
Léa took a deep breath before answering. "With much uncertainty, to be honest. But I hope we can find common ground and learn to truly know ourselves. »
Adrian nodded. "I share your hopes. Maybe we could start with a walk in the gardens after the banquet? »
LĂ©a accepted, and after the meal, they slipped away discreetly towards the gardens of the castle. The night was clear, and the stars shone like diamonds in the sky black. They walked in silence for a few minutes, enjoying the tranquility of the place.

Destiny brought you to me." > > "Fate didn't create me for anyone, Nathan. No one wants me." I say as my voice begins to shake. It's not going the way I thought it would.

I stopped for a second to try to calm down, the adrenaline flowing, as my wolf and I savored the comfort of being so close to him again. "Hmm, maybe that's true, except you're not my Alpha yet," I replied in a seductive and natural tone. Our faces were so close that the heat of our breaths collided, I wanted so much for him to give in and close the distance between us. "You feel it, don't you? Your wolf is howling inside you for me to mark you... right... here...", Jaxon nipped my neck ever so lightly. I felt like my legs were going to give out from under me at any moment. He moved his hand just under my sweater, to my back. He pulled me closer to his hardness as his gaze held a silent promise.
