Chapter: Chapter 175Elara’s POVI woke up and my stomach felt empty. I opened my eyes and looked around. The room was quiet. There was no sign of Kael. No sign of my baby. I tried to sit up, but the emptiness pressed on me. I called his name, my voice shaking. “Kael…?” I whispered. “Baby…?”Nothing.I swallowed hard and tried again, louder this time. “Kael!” My voice cracked, and I felt tears sting my eyes. No one answered. Panic began to rise. I remembered the doctor’s words, the warning I had heard vaguely in my sleep. They could only save me. I could only survive if I let go of the baby. My hands went to my stomach and I felt the emptiness again. I cried.I didn’t want to lose my baby. I couldn’t.The door pushed open suddenly and I froze. Kael stepped in, holding Eren’s hand. My chest tightened. He wasn’t alone.In his other arm, I saw her. A tiny little bundle, wrapped in white. A baby girl. My baby girl. I couldn’t believe it. My lips trembled, and I started to cry again, but this time they were te

Chapter: Chapter 174Kael’s POVEverything had returned to normal. The pack was rebuilt, stronger than before. Wolves moved through the territory, training, hunting, and guarding, but there was a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in months. I walked beside Elara, holding her hand lightly, feeling the warmth of her presence. She was my Luna now, my partner, and soon, a mother. Eren ran ahead of us, full of energy, practicing the techniques I had taught him. He was already training to harness his powers, and Elara stayed close, guiding him, correcting him, making sure he did not overextend himself.I smiled at her. “I’m proud of you,” I said, my voice quiet. “You’ve done so much, and you never gave up.”Elara shook her head, smiling softly. “I couldn’t have done any of it without you,” she said, her hand resting on her stomach.I looked down at her belly and touched it gently. “You’re doing great in there too,” I said, speaking to the child. “Come soon. Everyone is waiting for you.”She laughed, a soft sound that

Chapter: Chapter 173Kael’s POVI froze as I stepped into the hall, my stomach tightening. The dark fog that had surrounded everything was gone, and the silence was heavy. I looked around, and my eyes widened. Selene, her mother, and the entire army were lying on the floor, lifeless. The fight was over. The hall smelled of smoke and magic, but it was quiet now, still, final.Elara was kneeling by Eren, checking him over. Relief hit me like a punch, and I ran to them without thinking. “Eren!” I shouted.He looked up and smiled when he saw me. “Papa!” He jumped into my arms, and I hugged him tightly, holding him like I never wanted to let go. My voice trembled. “I was so worried about you.”“I was worried about you too,” Elara said softly, standing beside us. She looked tired, her hands still glowing faintly from the magic. “Eren helped. He tapped into the magic and fought Selene. He was brave.”I turned to Eren, pride swelling in my chest. “You did this? You fought Selene?” I hugged him again, tighter this

Chapter: Chapter 172Kael’s POVThe cell was silent, too silent, and I had no idea how long I had been sitting there. I couldn’t reach Elara, no matter how hard I tried, and the emptiness of it made me restless. My hands clenched into fists. I didn’t know what was happening outside, I didn’t know if she was alive or in trouble, and the longer I stayed still, the more panic built inside me.The door slammed open, and two guards grabbed me, jerking me to my feet. I struggled, kicking and pulling, but they were strong. My stomach dropped when I realized they were taking me out of the cell, dragging me down the corridors, and I knew exactly where this was going. The execution grounds. I tried one last time to reach Elara, but the connection between us was gone. The dark magic she had warned me about was still blocking our link, and I cursed under my breath. My heart pounded.We reached the massive doors to the coronation hall, and I got a glimpse inside. The air shimmered with a dark fog of magic. My stomach

Chapter: Chapter 171Elara’s POVI barely managed to pull Eren back before he burned Magnus alive, but in that instant, my focus wavered, and Selene seized her chance. She broke free from my mind hold and lunged at me. Her hand struck my shoulder and pain shot through my body, knocking me to the ground. I gasped and tried to push myself up, but she was already moving toward Eren.“Stop her!” I shouted, my voice tight, but the dark magic in the air made it hard to focus. My connection to my powers felt thick and sluggish, every thought like wading through mud.Selene grinned, cruel and sharp. She lifted Eren by the air around him, suspending him effortlessly. His small body floated there, still and terrified, and she laughed.“You’ll pay for this, Elara,” she said, her voice low and full of rage, “I’ll make sure you watch him suffer first.”I crawled closer, holding my hands out toward him, trying to reach him, and my words trembled with fear. “Please, Selene, let him go, he’s done nothing to you.”She ign

Chapter: Chapter 170Elara’s POVSelene ordered the guards to seize me and they rushed toward me, grabbing my arms and pulling me back, and I let them because I wanted her to believe she was still in control, but I didn’t stop talking.“You’re full of bullshit,” I said, keeping my voice loud enough for everyone to hear, “you stand here and pretend you care about this pack when the only thing you want is a crown that isn’t yours.”Selene’s face twisted and she stepped closer. “Shut your mouth.”“No,” I said, “you lie because you need them blind, and you think you can scare me into silence.”She slapped me so hard my head snapped to the side, and the guards tightened their grip, and a few gasps rose from the crowd. My mouth filled with blood and I spat it right on her face, and she jerked back with a sharp breath.“Touch me again,” I said quietly, “and see what happens.”Selene moved to strike me again but I didn’t give her the chance. I lifted my leg and kicked her away from me, and the guards tried to pul

Chapter: CHAPTER 92LYRAMarrek stood in the center of the hall and looked at the crowd. He realized everyone was stunned by his admission to Lucian, so he decided to double down on his lies. He pointed a finger at me, his face twisted into a mask of fake concern for the law."Do you see now?" Marrek shouted to the elders. "Do you see the chaos she brings? She has already corrupted the Alpha of the Blackfang pack. Look at what she has done to our brothers. She is a parasite that feeds on our stability. I request that there be no further negotiations with this woman. She is a threat to everything we have built."I wanted to burst out laughing right there. The man was spouting pure bullshit, and it was almost impressive. I hadn't done anything to the Blackfang pack except exist, yet he was talking like I had personally burnt their homes to the ground. He didn't stop there though. He had the momentum, and he knew how to use it."I am a man of peace," Marrek continued, spreading his arms wide. He was trying

Chapter: CHAPTER 91LYRAI had expected a reaction, but the sheer volume of the elders' shouting had been enough to make my ears ring. They were terrified, and they were hiding it behind anger. Before the noise could spiral into something worse, Elder Marrek suddenly stood up from his seat.He didn't scream like the others. He just raised a hand, and the room began to quiet down. It was immediate. I watched him, my heart picking up speed and I realized he held a level of sway among the Council members that I hadn't fully understood.I turned my head slightly toward Lucian. His face was grim, and his jaw was set so tight. He was staring hard at the old man, his eyes wide with a look of pure disbelief. It was obvious right then that Lucian hadn't known Marrek was here. He looked like he had seen a ghost.Marrek didn't wait for us to speak. He looked directly at me, his eyes cold and empty. He didn't look like a man who had killed my parents. He looked like a grandfather about to scold a child, which made i

Chapter: CHAPTER 90LYRAThe Council building was a massive structure of white marble and dark oak. We walked down the long hallway, and I could feel the weight of the eyes on us. We reached the double doors of the main hall, and when they swung open, the pressure hit me. There were dozens of elders sitting in high, tiered rows, and their combined auras were thick. It felt like walking into a wall of lead. The pressure made it seemingly difficult to breathe, and I felt my knees want to buckle for a second.Thankfully, Kael and Lucian moved up. They stood on either side of me, and I felt their own Alpha auras flare up to meet the pressure from the room. They helped me divert the weight, creating a pocket of space where I could finally draw a full breath."You have to put up a dominant demeanor, Lyra," Kael’s voice came over in a low whisper near my ear."Don't let them see you blink. If you looked weak for even a second, they would use that against you. They were like sharks."I took a deep breath and nod

Chapter: CHAPTER 89LYRAI kicked my horse into a faster gallop, watching the trees blur past me. The day of the Council face-off had arrived much faster than I expected. My heart was thumping against my ribs, and no matter how many times I told myself I was ready, the nerves stayed there. We were riding through the neutral zones, the path widening as we moved toward the heart of the continent.Darius, my second in command, rode up beside me. He had gone ahead to scout the road and looked as serious as ever. He pulled his horse to a halt when I slowed down, and his eyes scanned the tree line before he looked at me."We’re close, Lyra," Darius said. "We’ll step into Council territory in the next few hours."I adjusted my grip on the reins, my palms feeling sweaty despite the cool air. "Is there anything suspicious ahead? Any signs of a trap?"I looked back at the long line of supporters following us. There were hundreds of them now. Rogues, warriors, and wolves from various packs who had decided to risk

Chapter: CHAPTER 88LUCIANIt had been a few days since the Council dropped their ultimatum on us, and the tension in the pack house was high. Every wolf was looking at me, waiting for me to falter or make a mistake, but I spent most of my time locked in my office. I was staring at the latest reports from the border when the real news hit. Lyra wasn't hiding. She wasn't running to the Ironclaw mountains to disappear. Instead, she had made a public announcement about her bloodline.She was a First Wolf. The news made my head spin for a moment, but as I sat there, the weight of it settled in. She was marching right to the Council’s front door to talk to them instead of surrendering like a criminal. I leaned back in my chair and stared at the ceiling. It was bold. It was the kind of move that either made you a legend or got you killed within the hour.I analyzed the situation as I tapped my fingers on the desk. This move changed everything for the neutral packs. There were dozens of territories that had dec

Chapter: CHAPTER 87LYRAI shut the door to my room and leaned against the wood for a second. The noise from the courtyard was muffled now, but my head was still spinning from everything Helena had said. I had spent the last hour making sure she was settled in a quiet room with the pack healers. She looked so small and broken in that bed, but the strength it took for her to escape her captors and find us was something I couldn't even wrap my head around. She was hunted, wounded, and exhausted, yet she came here to warn me.I felt a strange pit in my stomach. It was pity, mostly. But beneath that, there was a heavy sense of gratitude. People were sacrificing themselves for me in ways I never asked for and never expected. Helena had risked her life to give me a truth that changed the entire world. Marcus had risked his rogues. Kael was risking his entire pack.I looked across the room. Kael was sitting behind the small wooden desk, leaning over a map, but he wasn't really looking at it. He was just starin

Chapter: CHAPTER 195CORA “Thanks for the pies, Cora,” the man said, tipping his hat as he stepped toward the entrance. “You are welcome, Silas, but make sure you deliver the milk tomorrow morning,” I replied, wiping my hands on my apron. The heavy wooden doors swung shut with a thud, and the shop went quiet. I let out a long sigh of exhaustion and sat down behind the counter. My back was aching, and my feet felt like lead, but I was happy that it was finally the end of the day. This was probably my final customer, I thought, as I looked at the rows of empty shelves. It had been nearly a year since Cade and Maeve became the rulers of Blackwood. Everything had moved so fast after that night in the apartment. We didn't want the drama of the pack or the constant eyes of the elders on us, so we left the next morning. We only had enough time to say goodbye to Cade, Maeve, and Kira before we started traveling north. We eventually settled in this small town called Dimmsville. It was a nice place, far away fr

Chapter: CHAPTER 194CORA I followed him into the apartment, hearing the door click shut behind us. The sounds of the partying crowd outside had already faded into the distance. Now, the only thing I could hear was the steady chirp of crickets and the other small critters of the night. It was quiet and private, and I was genuinely curious about what he had to show me. I thought maybe it was another map or a document for the new infirmary, but Liam had a different look in his eyes. He didn't say anything at first. He just looked at me for a long moment, then he suddenly moved and dropped down onto one knee. My heart skipped a beat, and I placed my hand over my mouth to keep from gasping. He reached out and took my other hand in his, his grip firm but shaking just a little bit. Liam started to speak, and I listened as he went on saying some of the sweetest words I had ever heard. He didn't use big, fancy metaphors, but I could feel multiple emotions pouring out of him. He talked about his insecuritie

Chapter: CHAPTER 193CORAA few days later, we headed back to Blackwood. My entry into the territory this time was vastly different from when I had first arrived as a prisoner. Back then, I was alone and hated, but now, there was an entire entourage waiting for me at the gates. I looked out the carriage window at the people lining the path and I felt wild just thinking about the transformation that had happened over the last year. I had gone from being the girl they wanted to execute to the woman who helped break their greatest curse.As soon as we settled in, I met up with Kira. She had come over from the village she was staying in the moment she heard that I was back. She looked at me for a long time before she grabbed me in a tight hug, and she apologized for not telling me where she was during the worst of the chaos."I'm just glad you're okay," I told her, pulling back to look at her face. "I wasn't holding any grudges, Kira. I'm just happy I still have a friend."

Chapter: CHAPTER 192LIAMWatching them leave, I subconsciously smile, feeling a little lighter seeing Cora and Maeve get along so well."You still haven't gotten over that awkward feeling from meeting new people, have you?" Cade interrupted, a teasing glint in his eyes.I quickly put on a serious expression and straightened my shoulders. "That is false. I have changed since you left. I am not that awkward anymore."Cade just chuckled, not sounding convinced at all. I didn't want to stand there and let him pick apart my social skills, so I quickly changed the topic."We should head out for a walk," I said, gesturing toward the courtyard. "The air is better outside than in this dusty hall."He nodded, and we started walking toward the perimeter of the grounds. For a few minutes, we just walked in silence. I struggled with what to say, my mind jumping between a dozen different things. I wanted to tell him I was happy for him, but it felt stiff.

He was still acting stiff, and I could feel the resistance in his hand as I pulled him toward the main entrance. He didn't want to do this while he was still covered in dust from the renovations, but I wasn't going to let him hide in the kitchen. I gripped his fingers tighter and gave him a look that told him to stop being stubborn, and eventually, he sighed and followed me along.We entered the main hall just as Cade was walking in. I stopped in my tracks, and my eyes widened as I took him in. He looked completely different from the last time I saw him. He looked even better than previously, his skin having deep tan lines from being out in the sun, and there was a ruddiness on his face that made him look healthy and full of life. He didn't look like the haunted man who had left this fortress a few weeks ago."Liam! Cora!" Cade called out excitedly.He had a huge grin on his face, and he looked like h

It had only been a few weeks since he left the fortress to go search for her. Now he was already back, and he was bringing her with him?I wasn't prepared to meet an in-law. I didn't even know what to say to a woman who had managed to catch my brother's heart after everything he had been through.Cora looked at me, noticing how stiff I had become.

BOUND TO THE ALPHA KING
Katherine Kenbly never wanted a mate, and she definitely didn’t want him. On her eighteenth birthday, the mark appeared, binding her to Stephen Magnus, the ruthless Alpha King who destroyed her pack and forced her people to kneel.
When she rejected him before the elders, she thought that would be the end, but Stephen didn’t take rejection well. He claimed her anyway, calling it law, calling it fate.
Now Katherine is trapped in the palace of her enemy, watched by the man who killed everything she loved. He demands loyalty, but his eyes tell another story, one filled with anger, obsession, and something she doesn’t want to name.
“You can hate me all you want, little wolf,” he says, his voice low against her ear, “but you’ll still be mine.”
And when the truth about his war comes to light, she’ll wish she never tried to fight fate.

Chapter: CHAPTER 76KATHERINEI had been back at the pack grounds for a few days, but the atmosphere felt different than before. Everything was quiet and tense. I hadn't really seen Stephen since we returned from Oslo because he was constantly busy. He spent all his time in meetings or on the phone, trying to mitigate the effects of the ambush. The attack on the human king had caused a massive political mess, and Stephen was right in the middle of fixing it. Today was the first time since we got back that he actually reached out to me. He sent a maid to my room to fetch me, saying he wanted to speak in his office.As I made my way through the stone hallways, my mind started to wander. I couldn't say I had moved on from what happened in that hall, but I was getting there. I wasn't crying every hour anymore. Instead, the sadness was being replaced by something else. What resonated in my mind the most were the words Mira had whispered right before she bit her cheek an

Chapter: CHAPTER 75ALARICI stood on the little forested hill that overlooked the castle. It was nearly a kilometer away, but I could see the chaos perfectly. The flames were licking at the night sky and the sounds of sirens reached my ears. People were yelling and running in every direction down there. I couldn't help but smile as I watched the results of my efforts. It was a beautiful sight to see such a secure place fall apart so quickly.However, my smile didn't last long. I looked closer at the gates and realized that the main objective had failed. I felt a frown pull at my lips and I let out a heavy sigh, annoyed by the lack of completion. I had given the borderland rogues a simple task, but the human king was still very much alive. Even worse, Stephen hadn't been injured. Not even a scratch as far as I could tell. My plans were meant to be more effective than this, and losing a fighter like Mira made the whole thing feel like a waste of resources.Right then, there was a sharp whooshing sound in

Chapter: CHAPTER 74KATHERINEPanic flared in my chest immediately, and I started to move, but Rowan’s hand clamped down on my shoulder. He told me to stay back, his voice firm and flat, saying they didn't know what was going on yet and it was too dangerous. Before I could even open my mouth to argue, he was already running toward the smoke, leaving me behind.I stayed in the garden for a few minutes, but my heart was racing too fast. I couldn't just stand here and wait for someone to tell me if the man I was bound to had been blown to bits. The itch to see for myself became too much to ignore, and I ignored Rowan’s orders, moving quickly through the greenery.As I made my way toward the castle, the reality of the situation hit me. I saw numerous guards lying on the ground, groaning in pain or not moving at all. The attack was massive, and the sheer number of casualties made my stomach churn. I found myself wondering if Stephen had survived it, and to my surprise, a part of me truly hoped he did.I pause

Chapter: CHAPTER 73STEPHENWe were thrown back as the stone walls buckled, and dust filled everywhere instantly. I was on my feet before the debris had even settled, my wolf snarling inside my head as my vision sharpened. Julian was coughing beside me, his crown skewed on his head, and I reached down to pull him behind a fallen pillar."Stay down!" I ordered, but he was already reaching for the small pistol he kept tucked into his formal jacket.Moments later, a group of masked attackers burst into the hall. These were rogues. They ignored the screaming guests and started targeting Julian directly. My guess was they wanted to destabilize the human capital by killing their newly crowned king before the ink on his decree was even dry.I bared my teeth and stepped in front of Julian, tapping my communicator to call Rowan."Rowan, we have a breach in the main hall. I need the royal guard here now," I barked into the device.There was nothing but static. I tried again, but the line was dead. They had jammed

Chapter: CHAPTER 72KATHERINEI honestly hated dinner parties. They were always the same. The people walked around with their noses in the air, acting like they were better than everyone else, and the conversations were usually fake. Most of all, I hated the dresses. They were always tight, heavy, and uncomfortable, making it hard to even breathe, let alone move. I felt like a doll on display, and it was exhausting.As the car drove through the night, the silence between Stephen and me was thick. He was busy working on his tablet, his eyes moving fast across the screen as he checked reports. He didn't look up once. I wasn't interested in keeping silent, though. The quiet was making me restless, and I wanted to know why we were suddenly rushing to a human castle in the middle of the night."So, what is actually going on?" I asked.I just wanted to keep the place lively a bit. I didn't really expect him to give me a straight answer, but to my surprise, he actually set the tablet down and looked at me."The

Chapter: CHAPTER 71KATHERINEI didn't get back to the palace until super late. The symposium and the events afterward took up most of the day, and by the time the car pulled into the driveway, I was exhausted. I expected Stephen to be waiting for me, probably ready to ask why I had skipped half my classes, but he wasn't in the foyer. I didn't see him in the dining hall either.I stopped a passing maid and asked where he was. She told me he had gone to the council chambers for a major meeting that had been called on short notice. Apparently, something big had happened in the human capital of Oslo. I was surprised to hear that. We rarely got news from the human side of the border unless it involved political treaties or major security breaches.After the maid left, I stood in the hallway for a minute. The palace felt unusually empty. If Stephen was at the council, that meant Elder Cassian and the other high-ranking advisors were likely there too. It was the perfect opportunity.
