ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 13 — A PLACE AT THE TABLE
The delicious aroma reached Lyra before she even found the dining room.Fresh coffee, warm pastries, eggs, bacon, and something sweet she couldn’t quite identify filled the air, making her stomach growl softly. She paused outside the doorway and smoothed the wrinkles on her cream dress, suddenly nervous. Everything about the palace still felt too beautiful, too perfect, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that she didn’t quite belong in it.Taking a deep breath, she stepped inside.At the head of the table, Dominic had just lifted his coffee cup when something made him pause. Before he even saw her, his wolf stirred quietly inside him, and his head turned instinctively toward the entrance.Across from him, Cassandra noticed the movement and followed his gaze. The moment she saw Lyra standing shyly by the doorway, her entire face brightened.“Oh, you’re awake!” she exclaimed happily.Before Lyra could even finish greeting everyone, Cassandra was already on her feet. She hurried toward h
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 12 — BURYING THE SECRETS OF THE PAST
The softness beneath her was the first thing Lyra noticed when she slowly opened her eyes.For a few seconds, she remained still, buried beneath the warm blankets. The pillow cradled her head, and the silky sheets felt cool against her skin. Sleep still clouded her mind, and she almost closed her eyes again.Her gaze slowly wandered around the unfamiliar room. The large windows framed the morning sunlight beautifully, while the cream-colored walls, the fresh flowers by the bedside, and the elegant furniture all seemed too luxurious to belong to her.Then everything came rushing back.The long journey to the capital. The magnificent palace. The cold Alpha King. The strange agreement she had made. And the title that still felt foreign every time she thought about it.Replacement Luna.Lyra sat up abruptly and blinked several times. The memories of the previous day settled over her all at once, leaving her staring at the room in silence.So it hadn’t been a dream.She was really here.A
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 11 — A MOTHER'S EYES
Cassandra remained standing outside for a moment, her hand still resting on the doorknob. A smile lingered on her face, but beneath it, her heart felt heavy.The girl had smiled. She had laughed. She had even agreed to go shopping with her.And yet, Cassandra couldn't forget the way Lyra had carefully placed her bag on the floor as though she didn't deserve to put it on the bed.Nor could she forget how thin she looked. Or the way she had looked at every little kindness with surprise, as if affection was something she wasn't used to receiving.The lights in Dominic's study were still on when she walked past. The door was half open, and she could hear Adrian speaking inside.Without bothering to knock, Cassandra pushed the door open."Good," she said as she stepped inside. "Neither of you has gone to bed yet."Dominic looked up from the papers spread across his desk."We were discussing tomorrow's meeting with the council."Adrian smiled warmly."Is there anything you need….?"Cassandr
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 10 – A MOTHER'S TOUCH
As Lyra walked beside Queen Cassandra, she could still feel Dominic's eyes on her.The feeling lingered even after they had climbed halfway up the grand staircase. She didn't dare turn around, though the strange pull inside her kept urging her to look back. Instead, she focused on the woman linking arms with her so naturally, chatting away as if they had known each other for years.She couldn't help stealing glances at Cassandra.The Queen Mother looked elegant and beautiful, but there was something warm about her that made Lyra relax. The older woman's smile came easily, and there wasn't a trace of arrogance in her voice.Which only confused Lyra more.How could someone so warm and loving have given birth to someone as cold and frightening as Dominic?As if she had heard the question in her mind, Cassandra suddenly laughed."Let me guess," she said with amusement. "You're wondering how that cold boy came out of my womb."Lyra nearly stumbled."No!" she blurted out immediately. "I mea
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 9—WELCOME TO THE NORTHERN KINGDOM
The journey to the capital was a quiet one.They had left Ashbourne before dawn, determined to reach the Northern Kingdom before nightfall. Adrian drove while Dominic and Lyra occupied the back seat. For most of the day, only the sound of the engine and passing vehicles accompanied them.Adrian had tried to make conversation several times, but neither of his passengers seemed interested in talking. Dominic spent most of the journey staring out the window or reading through documents on his tablet, while Lyra sat quietly beside him, her thoughts too tangled for conversation.They made only brief stops for meals. Those moments were awkward in their own way. Adrian would try to lighten the mood; Dominic would answer with a few words, and Lyra would mostly keep to herself.Eventually, exhaustion caught up with her.She had fallen asleep at some point and only woke when the car slowed down.“We’re here,” Adrian announced with a smile.Lyra rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked out the
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 8 – A BARGAIN WITH THE KING
The atmosphere in the living room felt strangely tense despite the excitement shining on Alpha Roland's face.Dominic and Adrian sat on one couch while Roland and Luna Lydia occupied the one opposite them. Between the two groups stood Lyra. Her hands were clasped tightly in front of her, and her gaze remained fixed on the polished floor beneath her feet.The silence stretched for several seconds before Roland finally spoke."You want Lyra as your Luna?"The question burst out of him before he could stop it.Dominic frowned slightly."What part of my request don't you understand?"Roland immediately shook his head."No, no, Your Majesty. That's not what I meant."A smile tugged at his lips despite his attempt to remain composed."I'm simply trying to understand what you're saying."The excitement in his voice made Lyra's stomach tighten.Dominic seemed equally unimpressed."It's not difficult to understand, Alpha Roland."Before the irritation growing on Dominic's face could become obv
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 7—THE CREST ON THE FLOOR
Lyra looked down at the crest in Adrian's hand and then back at Dominic. The more she looked at it, the more ridiculous the entire situation felt. A laugh escaped her lips before she could stop it, and when she saw the serious expressions on all three faces, another followed. She shook her head in
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 5 - THE KING’S CLAIM
Dominic had always hated the pageantry that came with his title, but the Ashbourne pack’s attempt to impress him was especially suffocating. Even the guards at the entrance stood a little too stiffly, their eyes skittering past his face as they bowed and ushered him inside. He imagined they half-e
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 4—THE EMPTY SPACE BESIDE HIM
Alpha King Dominic woke with a smile on his face.For the first few seconds, he simply lay there, staring up at the canopy above him. Sunlight filtered through the branches, mixing with the fading silver glow of the full moon. The cool morning air carried the scent of pine and damp earth, and for a
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 3— PUNISHED BY THE ALPHA
Lyra didn't stop running until the forest began to thin and the familiar outline of her home appeared through the trees.The forest seemed different in the daylight.Less frightening.More familiar.Yet every step she took only made her thoughts race faster. How was she supposed to explain the mark
