Just us (J.Jk)

"I swear to protect you." His voice was quieter than I'd ever heard it - nothing like the sharp, hostile tone he'd used back when we were enemies fighting over scraps of survival. For the first time, there was something soft in his words... something almost human. He stepped closer, slowly, as if afraid I'd bolt. His arms lifted, hesitant at first, then firm as he wrapped them around me. His warmth pressed against my trembling body, shielding me from the cold wind and the distant groans echoing through the ruined streets. For a moment, it felt like the world outside didn't exist. "But all you've ever done is hurt me," I whispered, my voice cracking. "Why... how could I ever trust you after everything you've done?" Silence settled between us - heavy, fragile, broken only by the distant shuffle of the undead somewhere beyond the barricades. He didn't let go. He didn't look away. He just breathed, steady and warm against my forehead. Then he spoke. "It's just us now." he said as we both stared at taehyung as he lied there breathing slowly And somehow, that truth was more terrifying and more comforting - than the apocalypse itself.

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.
