The Alpha King's Mate: ZORYA'S CURSE
So she would not die. Lillia echoed in her mind. Not today.
Then, something stronger coiled suddenly around her neck, tightening painfully as her voice escaped in a strained sound.
“Ame… Lia—please—”
Before Lillia could react, a violent force wrenched her away, dragging her into the darkness. Her fingers tore free of Amelia’s grasp, clutching only a ripped fragment of fabric as she was pulled farther and farther away.
Lillia watched as Amelia receded into the distance, swallowed by the void, while the coldness and hostility around her deepened, pressing in from all sides.
Her body was tossed and dragged as multiple unseen forces fought to claim her. The air grew thick with a foul stench, suffocating her senses as she was pulled deeper into the void, deeper toward a point of no return.
But as her strength began to wane, Lillia closed her eyes, her breathing slowing to quiet as she reached inward toward Fenris.
Fenris… I know you’re weak. But I know you’re still here. If you would give your last strength to save me, then I will give mine to save her. And if we perish… then we perish together. I cannot exist in a world without you, because you are part of me as I am part of you. Without you, something in me is lost forever. I am nothing without you.
For a breathless moment there was nothing but coldness. Then—warmth flickered, then surged deep within, enveloping her as Fenris stirred.
A faint whimper echoed in her mind, followed by a quiet voice.
“Then… let us kick death in the teeth one last time.” —To be continued.

Chapter: EIGHTY-THREESelene’s scream ripped through the carriage, and the paralysing shock that had held them captive vanished instantly.“We are being attacked.” Maera shouted, producing a runic dagger from her belt and looked at Lillia. “Stay inside and stay low.” She shot out of the carriage immediately after, and vanished into the fog. “Wait—” Lillia’s chest rose and fell quickly, her hands were soaked with blood pouring from Selene’s shoulder. But Maera was gone, and her voice had barely settled before Selene's voice tore into the silence that followed. “My shoulder… It hurts! It hurts so much.” She screamed.“Oh Great Mother… Selene!” Lillia panicked. It’s okay… “Selene… listen to me.” Lillia swallowed. “You’ll be alright.” Great Mother, please let that be true. Her trembling fingers hovered above Selene’s shoulder afraid of hurting her even more if she touched it. But Selene was in a very bad shape, and worse, her body would not heal if she did not remove the spear. “Selene… I–I have to remove

Chapter: EIGHTY-TWOWhat is it?”Selene’s voice reached Lillia first, but it sounded distant as she kept her gaze fixed on the place where, for the briefest heartbeat, she could have sworn someone had been standing between the pines. Her pulse thundered in her ears, while an inexplicable tightness spread through her chest, each heartbeat feeding the growing unease curling beneath her ribs. Yet, she did not stop looking, shifting her gaze deeper into the fading trees as she tried hard to see through the thickening mist.It was as though the forest had begun to stare back. She could feel eyes from everywhere, but she couldn’t see anyone. It reminded her of the invisible hostility she’d felt in the royal garden that time, and other times, just before that very dreadful event befell her.The unease curled tighter at that thought because it now felt like a premonition she very much hated right now.Fenris! Can you sense anything?No, I don’t sense anything. Fenris answered quietly, her voice lacking strength

Chapter: EIGHTY-ONELillia’s attention shifted immediately, “it is?”“Yes.” Maera nodded once. “I kept it in the secret room so it won’t be discovered. I also had three more dresses and masks made for Lady Amelia, Emily and Eva.”“Good.” A smile tugged Lillia’s lips at this. “Now, we just need to find a way to exchange the dresses with the maidens without anyone finding out.” Lillia settled into her seat, her gaze narrowing to a point. “But if Lady Freda is getting Regaleon’s custom made fit for you and there are dresses made for Lady Amelia, Emily and Eva, what about Lady Briar Rose?”“With the conflict going on, House Montclair would never receive any gift from Lillia.” Maera answered Selene. “There’s also the alliance between House Montclair and Greyson also, but unlike Briar Rose, I do not think Freda would reject it if we sell it well.”“Why?”“Entitlement.” Lillia’s lips curved. “And as for their alliance, it won’t be for long. Remember, Briar Rose is also included in Dante’s list. Alliances are

Chapter: EIGHTYThree days until Veil Night…The excitement surrounding Amelia’s recovery lingered long after the initial shock had faded, and with it, Lillia finally felt the wintry morning air in the warm embrace of her maidens. The cold forest was still shrouded in darkness, though faint traces of dawn had begun creeping across the distant horizon. For several minutes, the women remained exactly where they were, exchanging relieved smiles and embracing one another as though afraid the good news might somehow disappear if they let go too quickly. She had missed them.After everything they had endured since the joining ceremony, the moment felt almost unreal, because for once, setting Lillia’s situation aside; no one was in danger, and no one was in tears or panicking. No one was trying desperately to survive yet another deathly catastrophe. So, for the first time in days, they simply stood together and allowed themselves to be happy. Hearing a sudden movement, Lillia’s attention drifted beyo

Chapter: SEVENTY-NINEFenris’ wild gasp tore through Lillia’s consciousness as their bond surged violently back into place, the overwhelming flood of emotions crashing into her with such force that she instinctively clutched her chest. Her breathing became ragged almost immediately, each uneven breath struggling to steady the frantic pounding of her heart while fragments of the nightmare she had just escaped continued flashing relentlessly through her mind. Her hands flew quickly to her neck as the memory of Belial’s claws reaching for her through the haze remained painfully vivid. For several long seconds, she found herself staring blankly ahead, almost expecting the shadows around her to split apart and reveal those hollow eyes watching her once more. But instead, the familiar blue light from the blue fire greeted her, exposing the dimly lit canvas of Anubis’ tent that stood undisturbed around her while faint trails of smoke curled lazily upwards from an incense pot with still glowing ashes.She was ba

Chapter: SEVENTY-EIGHTThe only time she had felt something this chilling was beneath Azazel’s gaze. His glare in that pitch blackness had reduced her every emotion to pure dread. It had left her painfully aware of how unwelcomed and insignificant she was. Yet, even that memory was distant now, because then, at least, she felt unwelcome and insignificant; but this… this was different. Lillia felt suffocated by the overwhelming wave of animosity as though the fact she was living and breathing… no, her entire existence was wrong to begin with.The intense feeling settled over her slowly and completely, sinking through flesh and bones until it seemed to wrap itself around the very essence of her being. That stench, that unbearably putrid stench was hatred. Pure hatred. All the hairs on her neck stood with the coldness that washed down her body, drenching her in cold sweat. She could feel Fenris' wild instincts of survival kick in as she felt like a prey caught in a death trap, and her body was frozen. Fen
