Chapter 102: Dreams and Duty

Azaria 'Ziya' Point of View

The days leading up to the wedding were a whirlwind of activity. Every morning, Khali and I woke up to the sound of bustling servants, the castle alive with preparations. While I had anticipated a chaotic lead-up to the wedding, the reality was far more intense. The children, armed with their vibrant imaginations and boundless energy, had taken on the role of wedding planners with a fervor that surprised everyone.

Despite the excitement surrounding the preparations, Khali and I had little time to focus on the upcoming celebrations. Running two kingdoms was a full-time job, and the recent tensions in the southern packs meant we had to be vigilant. Each day, we split our duties, tackling the never-ending stream of meetings, reports, and decisions that came with our roles.
