Chapter: 200"Fine," I growled, my claws scraping the underside of the wooden headboard. "But only so the rest of the pack thinks we are mated.""Let us sleep, Lyra." Kaelen wrapped his thick, scarred arms around my waist and pulled me back onto the mattress. He did not try to touch my skin further, keeping his grip firm but strangely gentle as he held me against his chest.When dawn broke, my eyes snapped open. I slept heavily, probably because of the strong northern wolf-liquor, though I vaguely remembered Kaelen leaning down to press his lips against my shoulder and neck in the middle of the night.The Alpha's Shadow Chamber was freezing, and the mate bond was humming under my skin, making it impossible to go back to sleep. I slipped out of the bed, leaving Kaelen and the pups snoring softly, and walked out into the corridor of the Crimson Fang Lodge to clear my head.The hallway was dead silent. I padded softly on the wooden floorboards, making sure my bare feet did not make a sound.Just as I

Chapter: 199I pat Mirelle's shoulder and try to ease the tension in her scent. "It is fine, we will get through this."Once we secure the legendary ice hockey blade craftsman, our pack sports brand will dominate the entire northern territory.Mirelle fills me in on what happened at the arena store while we walk up the stairs of the lodge.Boyce arranged a massive feast in the private dining hall of the Crimson Fang Lodge to welcome Armand and Theresa.Liora is rubbing her eyes, her little wolf pup ears twitching sleepily as she reaches up toward Kaelen. "Daddy, hold me while I sleep."She is so spoiled when it comes to him. She wraps her small arms around his neck and buries her face in his shoulder.Kaelen kisses her forehead, his hard expression melting completely at the sight of our daughter.He looks over at me, his deep voice sending a shiver right down my spine. "I will take her up to the chamber first."I nod, letting him go.With Kaelen gone, I use my fork to pile more meat into Orion's p

Chapter: 198The lobby doors of the Crimson Fang Lodge hissed shut behind us, cutting off the heavy, pine-scented wind of the Duskwild Expanse.Kaelen still gripped my hip, his fingers digging bruisingly into my skin, his possessive heat searing right through my leather pants.“Let go of me, Kaelen,” I muttered, my inner wolf whining at the loss when his grip only tightened. “We aren't in the pack territory anymore.”“You are mine, Lyra,” he growled, his voice deep and rough near my ear. “That never changes, no matter where we stand.”My heart hammered against my ribs, the sheer power of his Alpha aura making my knees feel weak.I tried to pull away, but my ankle throbbed with a sharp, burning pain, forcing a quiet gasp from my throat.Kaelen’s eyes darkened instantly, his gaze dropping to my foot before he easily swept me up into his arms, ignoring my small cry of protest.“You are injured, yet you still try to run from me,” he murmured, his chest rumbling against my back as he carried me toward

Chapter: 197I opened my mouth to explain the situation, but the shop worker screamed over me, “Lacey, don’t listen to her! This stray is the one who brought these brutes to smash our store. Have them thrown in the dungeon!”I glared at her.Kaelen handed Liora to me, his jaw set in a hard, uncompromising line. “Go wait for me in the transport. Now.”He intended to finish this here. Even though he wanted our son, Orion, to grow a spine and learn how to handle threats, he didn't want Liora exposed to such ugly, jagged violence.I clutched Liora to my chest, turning to leave, but Lacey Ward, the manager and the shop worker’s cousin, stepped forward to block my path.“This mess started because of you,” Lacey hissed, her eyes darting to Kaelen’s imposing frame. “You aren't leaving until this is made clear.”Kaelen looked up, his golden eyes cold enough to freeze blood. “Talk to me, not my Luna.”Lacey flinched, her breath hitching in her throat as she met his gaze.He looked even more lethal than Char

Chapter: 196“Let go of me, Alpha,” I gasped, my skin prickling as Orion shoved Kaelen’s heavy, tattooed arm off my shoulder.My five-year-old son squeezed his small body directly between us, his tiny hands pushing against Kaelen’s hard chest with surprising, pup-like strength.Kaelen froze, his gold eyes widening slightly as our son’s fierce glare locked onto him, completely shielding me from his father’s predatory shadow.“Mummy, hold me,” Orion muttered, his little voice trembling but determined as he wrapped his arms tightly around my waist.I melted instantly, kneeling onto the cold hardwood floor of our Crimson Fang Lodge suite to bury my face in his soft, dark hair.Kaelen sighed, his broad shoulders dropping as he sat back on the edge of the mattress and stared blankly at the timber ceiling.“Mummy, did you have a hard time before we found you?” Orion asked suddenly, his small fingers gripping the fabric of my linen shift.I blinked, confused by the heavy question from my little boy so ear

Chapter: 195I snatched up the heavy hockey jersey I had stripped off earlier, holding the thick fabric toward Kaelen’s face. "Look at the crest."Kaelen didn't know the first thing about textile manufacturing, and his confused frown told me he couldn't see anything unusual."The weave is made of high-grade northern wolf-silk," I said, my voice rising with excitement as I traced the emblem of our team. "It is not sold in the southern markets anymore, but Charles knows the master weaver who specializes in harvesting this thread. I want to hire him to manufacture our pack’s official athletic gear.""It is unbelievably durable," I added, rubbing the slick material between my fingers. "It resists silver-tipped slashes and does not tear under claws, making it perfect for the ice rink during high-impact matches."I could go on forever when it came to the technical gear for our pack's professional hockey franchise.Kaelen just stared at me in the dim light, his chest rising and falling as his gold eyes s

The Alpha King’s Tattered Shirt
When Selene Corvinus wakes up inside the Moon Eclipse Lodge Chamber, her whole world flips upside down. Someone put something bad in her drink at the Alpha Moon Celebration Hall, and she accidentally spent the night with a powerful, terrifying stranger. Panicking, she grabs his shirt and runs back to her pack, terrified that her secret will destroy her sick mother. After all, Selene is the Hidden Luna Heiress, trapped in a fake three-year marriage to a man she has never even seen—the Supreme Alpha King himself.
Enter Lucian Lycan, the fierce ruler of the Bloodmoon Throne. For five years, a dark curse from an old pack war made him violently ill whenever a she-wolf touched him. But last night, the unknown girl in his bed changed everything. She didn’t trigger his illness at all.
Determined to find his true mate, Lucian commands his Beta Commander to track her down, only to discover a shocking twist: the mysterious she-wolf is actually his very own forgotten wife! When Selene’s cruel family tries to force her away, the Alpha King rips up the divorce papers and locks her inside Moonshade Manor to keep her safe.
Can a simple she-wolf survive the dangerous games of the Alpha Citadel? Will their Eternal Moonmark bond survive the False Luna Matriarch’s evil tricks, or will pack secrets tear them apart?

Chapter: 66"Get out of my bed," I snapped, rubbing my tired eyes as the cold morning air hit my skin. "Amelia will rip my throat out if she finds out I stayed the night in your private wing."Lucian did not move an inch, his heavy, muscular arm tightening around my waist like an iron clamp. "Let her try.""I am serious, Lucian," I growled, shoving his broad chest with all the strength my wolf could muster. "I have to return to the Lycan Moonkeep before the pack caretakers start searching the guest chambers."Lucian opened his golden Alpha eyes, staring up at me with a dark, lazy possessiveness that made my core throb. "Go then. But if my mother touches a single hair on your head, I will burn her courtyard to the ground."I rolled off the high mattress, my thin black silk tunic clinging to my hips. I did not waste time looking back at him as I pulled my boots on, snatched my shadow-veil from the stand, and slipped out into the misty dawn toward the territory carriage.By the time I stepped throug

Chapter: 65"She must have miscalculated," Tanis Moonshade sneered, her eyes gleaming with dark satisfaction in the dim light of the Alpha Throne Chamber. "The Supreme Alpha cannot truly intend to bring a stray to the Ravenshadow Pack council."Lucian did not even lift his eyes from the parchment on his desk. "Ensure you learn a thing or two from her tomorrow, Tanis.""I will," Tanis hissed softly, stepping backward out of the chamber door with a twisted smile playing on her lips.As soon as the heavy iron door slammed shut, I emerged from behind the desk, my wolf snarling under my skin. "You cannot be serious about bringing me to the Ravenshadow territory.""Is there a problem with that?" Lucian asked, his golden Alpha eyes locking onto mine with lethal calm."Everything is a problem with that!" I yelled, my heart hammering violently against my ribs. "If I make one mistake in front of the pack elders, your mother will use it to strip my bloodline of our seat!""Stay close to me during the feast,

Chapter: 64"Her sweet and charming voice sounded like music to Lucian's ears," I whispered under my breath, my throat tight as the rune stone under my tunic hummed against my collarbone. "And he could feel his grumpiness fading away."Seeing his dark, dangerous golden eyes soften just a fraction, I stepped in close, pressing a soft kiss to his broad jawline. "Someone is knocking on the stone door, Alpha. You don't want my efforts to go completely to waste, do you?"Lucian’s expression turned to pure ice as he stared down at me, his massive frame radiating pure territorial heat."Hide in the bathing sanctuary," I urged, my breath hitching as I shoved his chest toward the rear curtain. "As long as no one discovers you inside my artisan quarters, you can still share my furs tonight. Does that sound good?"Without waiting for his answer, I grabbed his thick wrist, pulling with all my strength to tug the Supreme Alpha King off the edge of the bed.Because I had promised he could return once night fel

"Do you have any idea how much essence she pours into cultivating these night-blooms every moon cycle?"My claws extended into the dirt. "I am only gathering the fallen ones. The moon-silk robes require a natural binding agent for the silver runes to hold their magic.""Do you think you can fool me, artisan?" Tanis stepped into my space, her golden eyes flashing with raw aggression. "I saw how Supreme Alpha Lucian looked at you in the tower. You are trying to weave a spell into those robes to steal what belongs to me.""Keep your claws to yourself, Tanis," I said, my voice heavy with the magic of my voice-altering rune. "Touch me again and I will let the Supreme Alpha know who ruined his mother's garments."She raised her hand to strike me, her face contorted in rage. "You arrogant little stray!

"I am only gathering the fallen ones. The moon-silk robes require a natural binding agent for the silver runes to hold their magic."Freya’s golden eyes flashed, her posture stiff and aggressive.

But I'm already arching into him, my body betraying every word out of my mouth.He grins, that smug Alpha smile that makes me want to hit him and kiss him at the same time. "And yet here you are.
