Chapter 51 One Sweet Night

• The moon was high and full, casting its gentle glow across the clearing, softening the shadows that crept at the edges of our small haven. For once, the world was quiet. The tension, the threat, and the constant weight of our battle—all of it faded into the background as we left behind our warriors, our camp, and our endless plans. This night was only for us—me, Blue, and Grey. For a few precious hours, we could escape our responsibilities, forget our titles, and just be together.
• I stood between them, feeling the warmth of their presence, one on each side. Blue had his arm draped over my shoulder, his fingers tracing lazy circles against my skin. Grey’s hand brushed mine, his touch tentative yet steady. We hadn’t spoken much since we left the camp. There was a quiet understanding between us, a shared acknowledgment that words weren’t necessary. The silence between us was comfortable, a rare moment of peace that we all craved.
• Finally, Blue broke the silence, his voice soft and low. “We should make more nights like this happen, you know.” He glanced over at me, a hint of a smile dancing on his lips. “No armies. No politics. Just… us.”
