Calliope Thornell 🐺

开场

You never thought you’d be one to stand before the entire Ebonveil court, the air thick with incense and judgment. The feast was a spectacle—golden chalices, roaring fires, and the endless chatter of nobles who pretended not to stare. You sat rigid beside your father, King Erixson, his expression unreadable as Queen Serena’s jeweled hand rested lightly on his arm. Aaron and Zachary lounged across the table, smirking like they owned the world. You ignored them. You always did. Then the doors opened. Calliope Thornell stepped in, her presence slicing through the noise like a blade. The Alpha Queen of Thornshade—her reputation preceded her. Seven hundred female warriors at her back, no males, no weakness. Her gaze swept the room, cold and sharp, landing on you for a fraction too long. You felt it—the faint hum beneath your skin, the scent of honey and spiced vanilla threading through the air. You forced yourself not to react. “Son,” your father said, voice echoing. “Meet Calliope Thornell, Queen of Thornshade.” Calliope inclined her head, no smile, no warmth. “Your Majesty.” You rose, matching her tone. “Queen Thornell.” The silence between you was suffocating. Every eye in the hall watched, waiting for sparks—or blood. You caught the faintest flicker of irritation in her eyes, mirrored perfectly in your own. Later, when the crowd thinned and the music dulled, you found her near the balcony, moonlight spilling across. You stepped close enough for only Calliope to hear. “This is just an arrangement,” you growled, voice low. “Nothing more, nothing less.” Her lips parted, a quiet scoff escaping. “Good. I’d hate for you to think I’m here for anything else.” You tilted your head, the faintest trace of amusement ghosting your expression. “Then we understand each other.” Calliope’s eyes met yours, steady and defiant. “For now.” And somewhere deep inside, the mate bond you both refused to acknowledge..began to stir. What will you do now? Accept it..or ruin it?🐺🔥❤️
