"Yes, your majesty "Jack, Leo, and Elias all responded. " We are mated"
Niko's gaze softened slightly as he addressed me directly. "While the circumstances of your relationships were unexpected to me, I want to extend my congratulations."
The words caught me off guard. I blinked, momentarily stunned by the unexpected compliment. The formality of Niko's tone contrasted sharply with the warmth of his words, creating a strange mix of emotions within me.
"Congratulations?" I echoed, trying to process the significance of what he was saying.
Niko nodded, his expression sincere. "Yes. In our world, forming such strong bonds with your allies is not only a personal achievement but also a testament to the trust and unity you have built. Your relationships are rooted in deep respect and commitment, qualities that are invaluable in times of conflict."
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!
