Chapter 213 Tension

• Varek
• As I stood at the edge of the room, the darkness barely lit by the fire’s faint glow, I found myself watching her. Nyxara lay on the bed, her breathing slow and steady, her face soft in the stillness of the night. The pull I felt toward her was undeniable, like a force I couldn’t fully understand. She had this power over me—a power I wanted to resist, but couldn’t.
• Everything about her contradicted what I had believed for so long. She wasn’t just the woman I married out of political obligation, a pawn to secure the Northern regions. She was something else, something dangerous to me, to my control. And it wasn’t just about power—it was deeper, more primal. As Alpha King, control was everything. I ruled with strength, fear, and ruthless efficiency. But Nyxara—she chipped away at that control, effortlessly.
