Chapter: 73الفصل"هل انتهى الاجتماع؟" سألت ليرا برفق، وصوتها الصافي يبدو كالموسيقى في الغرفة الهادئة.سار كايل عبر السجادة، متوقفاً بجانب كرسيها تماماً. والنظرة الصلبة والصارمة التي كان يرتديها دائماً أمام الشيوخ تلاشت تماماً. وأصبحت عيناه الفضيتان ناعمتين ولطيفتين وهو ينظر إلى أسفل نحو وجهها."نعم، لقد انتهى"، قال كايل برفق.وسحب مقعداً خشبياً صغيراً أقرب إلى كرسي ذراعيه وجلس بجانب ركبتيها تماماً. ومدّ يده الكبيرة الدافئة، مأخذاً أصابعها الصغيرة برفق في كفه ومحككاً إبهامه فوق بشرتها الناعمة."هل غضب والد فيكتوريا منك جداً؟" سألت ليرا، ناظرة في عينيه بعقلها الصافي والمنطقي."حاول أن يكون مخيفاً"، أجב كايل بصوت منخفض وهادئ. "لمح إلى أنه إذا لم يُمنح لفيكتوريا منصب عالٍ في إدارة القلعة، فإن قطيعه الجنوبي سيتوقف عن بيعنا الحبوب والأعشاب رخيصة الثمن للشتاء."ولم تصب ليرا بالذعر. ولم تخف أو ترفع صوتها. بل استندت ببساطة للخلف ضد كرسيها، مستخدمة منطقها البشري الهادئ للتفكير في الأخبار.وفي داخل رأس ليرا، كانت أفكارها واضحة وهادئة للغاية.والد فيكتوريا يحاول فقط حفظ وجه عائلته الفخور، فكرت ليرا لنفسها، ناظرة

"بطنها أصبح كبيراً جداً الآن. ووجهها... يبدو ناعماً ولامعاً للغاية. إنها تبدو أكثر جمالاً من ذي قبل عندما جاءت لأول مرة إلى هذه القلعة."فركت الخادمة الثانية قُدراً حديدياً ثقيلاً بقوة، محدثة صوت كشط باهت ضد الأرضية الحجرية. وعقّدت شفتها العليا في عبوس قبيح ومرير."لماذا لا تبدو ناعمة وسعيدة؟" شحذت الخادمة الثانية الرد، وعيناها الداكنتان ممتلئتان بحسد مرير. "إنها تجلس في غرفة دافئة طوال اليوم بينما نحن نفرك القدور الثقيلة في الماء البارد. أقول لكِ، تلك الفتاة مجرد باحثة ذ

"ما الأمر يا ليرا؟""والد فيكتوريا في الساحة بالأسفل"، أشرت عبر النافذة برفق. "يبدو وجهه غاضباً جداً. أعلم أن سيد الظلال فاين فتشت غرفة فيكتوريا بالأمس ولم يجد شيئاً سيئاً بداخلي. لكن فيكتوريا ما زالت مجروحة لأنك اخترتني بدلاً منها. والدها سيد غني، وكبرياؤه مصاب بجروح بالغة."ونظر كايل من النافذة لفترة قصيرة، وتحول وجهه الوسيم إلى الهدوء والجدية. واستدار نحوي مرة أخرى، ممسكاً بيديّ الاثنين برفق في كفيه."أنتِ ذكية جداً يا ليرا"، قال لي كايل، وصوته ممتلئ باحترام عميق لعقلي الصافي. "جاء والد فيكتوريا إلى هنا للحديث عن التجارة، لكني أعلم أنه غاضب لأنني جعلتك لونا الكبرى الخاصة بي. حتى لو لم يجد فاين أي أمور سيئة في غرفتها، فلن نخفض حذرنا."وفي داخل عقلي الخاص، كانت أفكاري واضحة ومنطقية للغاية.لسنا بحاجة لبدء قتالات، قلت لنفسي، ناظرة إلى وجه كايل الشجاع. لسنا بحاجة للصراخ أو الغضب. علينا

"كايل يظن أنه يستطيع التصرف كملك فخور يمكنه فعل ما يريد، لكني سأريه أنني ما زلت رجلاً! لدي ذهب! لدي العديد من طرق التجارة! لدي أصدقاء أقوياء في الأراضي الجنوبية! سأدمر يا فيكتوريا! سأتعامل معه وأريه أنه لا يستطيع العبث بعائلتي!"ومسحت فيكتوريا الدموع الأخيرة عن وجنتيها بكمها الحريري.وعادت ابتسامة صغيرة وشريرة ببطء إلى شفتيها المطلتين. ومنحها رؤية أبيها غاضباً جداً موجة من الأمل الماكر.نعم يا أبي، فكرت فيكتوريا داخل عقلها المظلم، وعيناها تتلألآن بنور سيء. استخدم ذهبك! استخدم قوتك! أرِ كايل أنه ارتكب خطأً جسيماً عندما اختار ليرا عليّ!"هل ستساعدني حقاً في التعامل معه يا أبي؟" سالت فيكتوريا بصوت ناعم وماكر."نعم!" زأر والد فيكتوريا، وصوت بارد وصلب.

Rise Of the Silver Luna Queen
"You were never enough for me, Lyra."
On the night Lyra Blackwood discovered she was carrying Alpha Xavier’s child, she expected a dream come true. Instead, her world shattered into a nightmare. In front of the entire Crescent Moon Pack, Xavier publicly rejected
her—throwing her away to claim her conniving older sister, Emily, as his future Luna.
Broken, bleeding, and left for dead on the cold stone floor, Lyra made a promise to her unborn baby: they would survive, and they would never look back.
Escaping into the dark neutral lands to protect her child, Lyra is ambushed by rogues and dragged straight into the lair of Alpha Kael Virell—Xavier’s deadliest, most ruthless enemy.
Cold, lethal, and dangerously handsome, Kael doesn't offer mercy. He offers a deal written in blood: A contract marriage.
“Marry me, Lyra. Give me your loyalty, and I will give you my protection, my empire, and the ultimate revenge.”
To save her child, Lyra signs her life away to a monster. But Kael holds secrets about her ancient, hidden bloodline that could tear the werewolf world apart. And when Xavier finally discovers the truth about the pregnant mate he threw away, he’s willing to start a war to get her back.
But Lyra is no longer the weak girl who begged for love. She is a woman reclaiming her

Chapter: Chapter 112"War is not just fought with steel, my love," Kael murmured, leaning down to press a slow, deep kiss onto her lips. "It is fought in the mind. Let them sit in the dark. Let them worry. We have months before the baby arrives. We will enjoy our peace, and when the time is right, we will sweep them away like winter dust."While peace and quiet wrapped around the royal bedchamber, miles away in the deep, freezing shadows of the southern mountain forest, a very different kind of scene was playing out.The wind howled through the bare branches of the tall pine trees, shaking heavy clumps of white snow down onto the frozen ground. The night was pitch black, lit only by the pale, cold glow of a crescent moon high above the clouds.Victoria walked alone down the narrow, rocky trail.Her expensive black fur coat was stained with mud at the hem. Her high-heeled leather boots were scuffed and ruined by the jagged stones. Her golden hair, usually styled into a magnificent royal braid, was tangled

Chapter: Chapter 111The heavy oak doors of the royal bedchamber clicked shut, locking away the noise of the grand council hall, the cheering crowds, and the heavy weight of state politics.Inside the room, the air was warm, sweet, and quiet. A bright orange fire crackled softly in the stone fireplace, throwing dancing shadows across the high timber ceiling. Outside the tall glass windows, the sun was beginning to set behind the snowy peaks of the northern mountains, painting the sky in deep shades of purple, gold, and pink.Queen Lyra stood near the warmth of the hearth. She unfastened the heavy silver clasp of her white silk gown, letting the heavy fabric slip smoothly off her shoulders and pool around her feet. Underneath, she wore a soft, comfortable nightdress of light cotton. She placed both hands over her rounded eight-month belly, closing her eyes as a long, tired sigh escaped her lips.The excitement of the public coronation ceremony had been thrilling, but her body was heavy.

Chapter: Chapter 110"NO!" Xavier shouted, shoving Marcus away in disgust. "Are you a complete fool?! Our entire strategy depended on catching Kael in an ambush! If we attack the White Wolf castle directly without an ambush, Kael’s black-armored warriors will wipe our entire force out in less than two hours!""Then what are we supposed to do?!" Marcus cried out in despair. "We cannot just sit here and wait for him to kill us!"Xavier sank back down into his leather chair, holding his face in his hands. A deep, cold feeling of total hopelessness washed over him. He had lost his unborn heir, his wife was broken, his allies were terrified, and his great enemy was sitting calmly on his high throne, holding all the power in the palm of his hand."We do nothing..." Xavier whispered in a hollow, defeated tone. "We stay in our fortress. We double our guards. And we pray to the stars that Kael shows us mercy."Meanwhile, in the grand council hall of the White Wolf castle, the mood was vast, powerful, and majestic.

Chapter: Chapter 109 Servants and guards rushed down the hallway, lifting Emily’s weak, unconscious body from the floor and carrying her into the bedroom. A trail of dark red blood stained the wooden floorboards where she had fallen.An hour later, the head doctor walked out of Emily’s bedroom, pulling off his blood-stained cloth gloves. His face was dark, pale, and heavy with bad news.Standing in the hallway was Lord Xavier, who had just rushed over from his private study, alongside several noblewomen and female pack elders who had gathered outside the room."Doctor!" Xavier demanded, his voice sharp with anxiety. "How is my wife?! How is my child?!"The old doctor bowed his head solemnly, avoiding Xavier’s intense gaze."I am deeply sorry, Lord Xavier," the doctor spoke in a low, heavy voice. "The fall was severe, and the trauma to her body was too great. Lady Emily will recover her health, but... the baby is gone. We could not save the child."Xavier froze in place as if he had been struck by a bolt

Chapter: Chapter 108The early morning sun rose slowly over the high white peaks of the northern mountains. Cold golden light streamed through the tall arched windows of the royal bedchamber, filling the stone room with warmth. Inside, the air was quiet and peaceful.Queen Lyra sat propped up against a pile of soft velvet pillows on the massive wooden bed. The pale, sickly color had completely vanished from her face. Her cheeks glowed with a healthy pink blush, and her bright blue eyes were soft and clear. She wore a simple gown of light blue wool, and her dark hair was brushed neatly over her shoulders.Beside the bed stood Alpha Kael. He had not slept a single minute all night. His dark hair was slightly messy, and heavy shadows rested under his golden eyes. But as he watched Lyra take deep, steady breaths, the crushing weight that had been squeezing his chest for hours finally melted away. He held a small wooden bowl of hot honey soup in his hand, blowing on it gently before offering a spoon to her."E

Chapter: Chapter 107The master bedroom became quiet again.Kael sat down on the edge of the bed, holding Lyra’s hand tight. He stayed by her side for hours, watching every breath she took, making sure the poison did not return. The doctors left small bowls of warm herbal soup on the side table, but Kael did not touch a single drop. He only had eyes for his wife.Outside the high castle windows, the long Solstice night began to fade. The dark black sky slowly turned into a soft, pale gray as the morning sun began to rise over the snowy mountain peaks.Around six in the morning, Lyra’s long dark eyelashes fluttered softly.She let out a quiet sigh and opened her bright blue eyes. She looked up at the stone ceiling, feeling a bit dizzy, before turning her head to see Kael sitting beside her, his dark hair messy and his eyes red from worry."Kael...?" Lyra whispered, her voice soft and sweet.Kael’s heart leaped into his throat. "Lyra! Oh, thank the stars! How do you feel, my love? Are you in pain? Does your

Claiming His Plus Size Contract Wife
He called her heavy and useless, so she handed him divorce papers and walked out into the pouring rain.
When Alessia begged her husband for $100,000 to save her dying father, he refused—spending millions on a sports car for his mistress instead. Alessia chose her dignity, ended her marriage on the spot, and stepped into the storm with nothing.
That is when Lucien, the city’s most dangerous and dominant billionaire, intercepted her.
He orders her father’s surgery immediately, drags her to his hotel suite, and gives her a command: "Marry me for one year, and I will cover every bill."
Expecting him to mock her body like her ex did, Alessia is stunned when Lucien pulls her close and whispers that she is beautiful. Under his fierce protection, she transforms her body, reclaims her power, and falls deeply in love.
And when her bankrupt ex-husband loses everything? He is forced to drop to his knees in the mud, begging the wife who left him for mercy.

Chapter: CHAPTER 61Red light flashed across the grand ballroom. The screens on the wall turned completely black, and then the word COMPROMISED blinked in bright, angry red letters.The soft music stopped. The polite chatter died instantly.Every single rich guest in the room gasped. People dropped their champagne flutes, the glass shattering against the polished wooden floor. Women covered their mouths with shaking hands. Men took steps backward, looking around in sudden, sharp panic.Lucien stood frozen for one split second. His dark eyes darted from the red screens back to the center of the room. His mind—usually sharp, fast, and calculating—raced through a dozen possibilities at once.It was a trap.All of it. The party, the guest list, the open gates, Clara’s dramatic entrance, and Victoria’s cold, mocking smile. It wasn't just a family argument. It wasn't just a bitter sister wanting attention or money. It was a distraction.Across the room, Clara stood tall in her sparkling silver dress. Her heart

Chapter: Chapter 60"A little of both, my love," Lucien confessed with a low, rumbling chuckle. "I told you, I want everything to be perfect tonight. No disruptions. No shadows. Just you, me, and the people who actually matter."Alessia smiled, her dark eyes shining with absolute trust. "Nothing can ruin tonight, Lucien. Look around us. Everyone is happy. Your friends are here, the estate is beautiful, and our baby is safe. The past is behind us.""Always," Lucien murmured, leaning down to press a soft, lingering kiss to her temple.Neither of them knew that parked just fifty yards down the dark, tree-lined avenue outside the estate gates, idling quietly in the deep shadows of the perimeter wall, was a sleek black sedan.Inside the car, the interior lights were completely off.Victoria Morati sat in the passenger seat, tapping a long, manicured fingernail against the leather armrest, her eyes locked on the brilliant, glowing lights of the mansion ahead. Beside her, Clara sat rigid, her breathing shallow,

Chapter: Chapter 59"Let her try," Lucien said softly, his voice dropping into a lethal register that made the hairs on the back of his own neck stand up. "My home is here, Grandfather. Alessia and my baby are my entire world now. My perimeters are locked. My guards have strict orders. Clara is free to live her life however she chooses, far away from this estate. But she will never, ever cross my threshold again."Old Richard sighed—a long, rattling sound that seemed to carry the weight of a century of dynastic fatigue. He looked out his Swiss window at the impassable, snow-capped mountains. He knew that tone. It was the exact same tone he had used forty years ago when he seized total control of the family board. There was no reasoning with it."Protect your home, Lucien," Richard murmured, resignation finally bleeding into his old voice. "Protect your wife. But remember this: a house divided against itself cannot stand forever. Goodbye, my boy."Click.The line went dead. The dial tone hummed softly bef

Chapter: CHAPTER 58The morning sun did not merely rise over the grand estate; it seemed to detonate across the manicured lawns, spilling liquid gold over the heavy iron gates, the ancient oak trees, and the pristine stone pathways. It was Saturday—the day of the celebration, the day Lucien Vance had chosen to officially anchor his future into the bedrock of public permanence.Inside the sprawling mansion, the air thrummed with a frantic, orchestrated elegance. A small army of caterers, florists, and estate staff moved with silent precision through the vaulted corridors. Massive arrangements of white roses and cascading orchids arrived by the truckload, their sweet, heavy scent driving out the lingering ghosts of recent domestic discord. Silver trays polished to a blinding mirror-finish were stacked high on mahogany sideboards; crystal champagne flutes caught the morning light, refracting rainbows across the polished walnut floors.Upstairs, in the cavernous master suite, the atmosphere was a stark, insu

Chapter: Chapter 57Yet, Clara was still his blood. She was his granddaughter, reckless and foolish though she might be. If Richard did nothing, the family would break apart completely. The hatred growing between the siblings would fester like an uncleaned wound, poisoning everything they had built."I must speak with him," Richard said aloud, his voice raspy in the quiet study. "Tomorrow morning, before the sun rises over the Alps, I will place the call to Lucien. I will remind him of what family means. Even if Clara is impossible, a brother cannot simply throw his sister away to the wolves."He slowly pushed himself up from the armchair, using his polished wooden cane to steady his old legs. He walked over to the tall glass window and looked out at the dark, silent mountain peaks covered in white snow. The world out there was so vast, so calm, and so indifferent to the tiny dramas playing out in the distant city. But down there, in that glittering concrete jungle, a storm was brewing.Back in the heart

But you must calm down, go to sleep, and stop getting into fights with your brother. Family is all we have.""Thank you, Grandpa! You are the best! I love you so much!" Clara chirped, her mood changing instantly from crying to happy excitement."Goodnight, Clara," Richard said, and he hung up the phone.Clara pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at the screen with a triumphant smile. She turned to look at Victoria, who was still standing by the window watching her."Did you hear?" Clara whispered happily, sitting up straight on the bed. "Grandfather is going to call him! Grandpa Richard is the head of the Vance family. Even big brother has to listen to Grandfather when he gives an order about family funds!"Victoria didn't smile.
