Elena found herself in a whirlwind of emotions as she returned to her guest room. The mate bond she shared with Dreagan and Alaric tugged at her heartstrings, and she couldn't help but feel the ache of longing for them. Yet, the memories of their ruthless treatment haunted her, making her question if she truly belonged with them.
Her thoughts, however, wandered to King Akee and his kind treatment of omegas in Erindor. He had shown her a different side of lycan royalty, one filled with compassion and dignity. It was a stark contrast to the harshness she had experienced before.
As Elena lay on her bed, her lycan side restless and uncertain, she couldn't deny that she was growing attached to Akee. There was something about him, something that made her feel safe and appreciated. His presence stirred unfamiliar feelings in her heart, and she found herself drawn to him in a way she couldn't explain.
It was a complex web of emotions she was entangled in. The mate bond with Dreagan and Alaric, the safety and kindness provided by Akee, and her own longing for a sense of belonging. Elena knew that she needed to navigate these emotions carefully, for the path she chose could have far-reaching consequences.
She hoped that time would bring clarity and that the tangled threads of her heart would eventually unravel, revealing the path she was meant to follow. For now, she lay in her room, wrestling with the conflicting emotions that had taken root within her, uncertain of the choices that lay ahead.
Elena stirred in her bed, her sleep disrupted by the dream she had just experienced. The moon goddess had appeared to her once again, delivering a revelation that left her with a mixture of emotions.
In the dream, the moon goddess admitted her miscalculation in pairing Elena with the two ruthless kings, Dreagan and Alaric. The goddess acknowledged the suffering endured by omega wolves under their rule. It was a revelation that weighed heavily on Elena's heart. The concept of her lycan heritage being sealed off from her village for centuries struck a chord with Elena. She had always carried the dual nature of her lycan and human sides, struggling to find her place in the world. The moon goddess's hope had been that Elena's presence with the kings would bring about change, but instead, it seemed to have deepened their cruelty.
Now, the moon goddess's words pointed Elena in a new direction—towards King Akee of Erindor. The goddess described him as a benevolent ruler, and Elena had witnessed his compassion and fair treatment of omegas in his kingdom. Fate seemed to be guiding her toward a different destiny.
As Elena lay there, she contemplated the choices ahead. Could she truly find happiness with King Akee and make a meaningful impact on the lives of omegas in Erindor? Uncertainty loomed over her, but a newfound sense of purpose filled her heart.
A soft knock echoed through Elena's guest room, and she recognized the familiar scent of pineapples that heralded King Akee's presence. As she opened the door, he entered, concern evident in his eyes. He inquired about her well-being, and she debated sharing the dream she had just experienced.
After careful consideration, Elena decided to keep the dream to herself for the time being. She assured King Akee that she was fine, though her thoughts were far from settled. Unexpectedly, he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her in a comforting hug. Elena hesitated for a moment but then reciprocated, finding solace in his warmth.
As they embraced, Elena pondered the peculiar feelings she had been developing for King Akee. He was different from Dreagan and Alaric, and she couldn't deny the genuine concern

he showed for her. Reluctantly, they pulled away from each other, leaving a trace of longing in Elena's heart.
King Akee broke the silence with a gentle tone, his eyes searching hers. "Elena, I could see that there's something on your mind, something you're not sharing. If you ever wish to talk about it, know that I'm here for you."
Elena met his gaze, torn between her growing connection with King Akee and the mate bond that held her to the kings. She managed a small smile. "Thank you, King Akee. It's just been a lot to process, but I appreciate your concern."
With those words, King Akee nodded and left her room As Elena reclined on her bed, the weight of her choices and the uncertain path ahead weighed heavily on her mind. The events of her past, the mates she had left behind, and the new life she was forging in Erindor all swirled in her thoughts.
She pondered the moon goddess's words, the unusual bond with King Akee, and the lingering feelings she couldn't deny. Her heart was divided Closing her eyes, Elena sought clarity in the darkness of her thoughts. She knew that decisions lay ahead, ones that would shape her destiny and perhaps even the fate of the local kingdoms. With her Lycan at her side and the moon goddess watching over her, she would navigate this intricate journey and strive to find her own path to happiness and change.
As she drifted into a contemplative slumber, Elena hoped that her dreams might offer guidance or answers to the questions that filled her heart.
