Chapter 17 Eternal Bond

• Seraphina's POV
• "I accept the mate bond, Lucian," I said as we stood together on the balcony overlooking the palace grounds. "Fully this time. No more holding back."
• He turned to me with clear relief in his eyes and pulled me close. Peace had settled over the packs after the war. The new era felt real with corrupt structures gone and fairer leadership in place. I had made my decision after watching him follow through on every promise. Accepting the bond brought a sense of completion I had not expected.
