The weight of the crown was considerable as it settled atop her head, but she bore it with pride, grace, and dignity.

At her side, her Beloved extended his hand, eyes glowing with pride. She took it, fingers lacing with his, warmth spreading through her palm and heart. Together, they turned to face their people.

Aekeira’s full–heat had come two months ago, allowing them to seal their bond before Emeriel. Hers had come just a month after, and now both of them were officially, eternally, mated to the loves of their lives.

And just weeks after, Emeriel stood here, crowned Queen, staring at her throne a few feet away.
