Chapter 118 Five Years Of Peace

• The alliance held. All six territories working together. Disputes happened but got resolved through councils instead of wars. Trade flourished. Population grew. Children were born into a world that wasn’t constantly ending.
• Alina aged into the role she’d never wanted. Alpha at forty-four. Grey streaking her dark hair. Lines around her eyes from worry and laughter both. The mate bond kept her connected to Kaden who’d aged alongside her.
