Lovergirl01

Aria, the only female warrior in the barracks, has spent her life proving herself among men. Just as she reaches the peak of her achievements, a crescent moon mark appears on her forehead, signaling her destiny as the Moon Maiden. This sacred mark means she must enter the Mate Games, a grand tournament where the strongest women compete for the honor of becoming the future king’s mate.

When she meets Alpha King Eadric, she expects to despise him, but instead, she finds herself drawn to his strength, intelligence, and the rare kindness in his eyes. Eadric, bound by duty, never expected to find love in the games, yet Aria’s fiery spirit captivates him. As they face the trials together, their connection deepens into something undeniable.

Now, Aria must prove herself in battle, not just for survival, but for the love she never thought she would find. And Eadric, torn between tradition and his growing feelings, must decide if he will follow his heart and choose Aria as his queen.

I Want my mate

'No, people expect you to enjoy yourself. You are just a maiden who has been given a whole new opportunity and power. Do not rush into anything because you want to please people. I know you have plans and would soon start working on it but wait till after you have been coronated. Then you will have more leverage. The people will see you as their queen, not just by marriage but in your own right. You can start laying the groundwork for change then.'

I bit my lip as I stared into the mirror, "I just hate waiting. It feels like I'm betraying those who look up to me, who hope for change."

'Change takes time,' Artemis reminded me gently. 'And while you're right to be passionate, we need to be cautious. Rushing into things could do more harm than good. The last thing we want is to create more instability.'
