ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 19 — EXPECTETATIONS AND DISAPPOINTMENTS
Lyra woke before the first rays of sunlight had fully stretched across the palace gardens.For a few quiet moments, she remained curled beneath the soft blankets, staring at the embroidered canopy above her bed. A small smile found its way onto her lips before she even realized it was there.Today was the day.She was leaving the palace for the first time since arriving in the Northern Kingdom's capital.More importantly, today would be her first official appearance beside Alpha King Dominic as the Luna of the Northern Kingdom.The thought made her stomach flutter. She quickly sat up before she could overthink it."There is nothing to be nervous about," she whispered to herself.After making her bed, she walked into the bathroom, freshened up, and took a quick shower. By the time she stepped back into the bedroom, the early morning sunlight had spilled through the tall windows, bathing the room in a warm golden glow.She walked straight to the enormous wardrobe Cassandra had filled fo
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 18 — VOICES IN HIS HEAD
Dominic quietly pushed open the door to his bedroom before closing it behind him.It was already well past one in the morning.After returning from dinner, he had gone straight back to his study, determined to reduce the mountain of royal documents that had accumulated on his desk. Hours had slipped by unnoticed beneath the glow of the desk lamp. Although he had managed to clear a good portion of the work, several files still remained untouched.He finally decided they could wait until another day.Tomorrow promised to be another long one, and he would need to leave for Riverstone shortly after breakfast.The room was peaceful. A fire burned lazily inside the stone fireplace, filling the chamber with gentle warmth, while moonlight streamed through the tall windows overlooking the palace gardensDominic loosened the top buttons of his shirt before walking toward the window.Tomorrow’s visit should have been occupying every corner of his mind.Riverstone Pack was home to the Northern K
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 17 — DENIAL
Dominic leaned back in his chair and rubbed the bridge of his nose before turning another page.The stack of unfinished documents on his desk had finally begun shrinking, though it was still nowhere near where it should have been. He picked up another document before letting out a quiet sigh.“This should have been finished months ago.”The truth was, none of this work had been neglected because he was lazy.He simply hadn’t been here.For nearly two months, the council had sent him chasing clues across the kingdom, convinced that the Moon Goddess Heir had to be found before it was too late.Dominic’s eyes drifted toward the maps rolled up in the corner of the room.Beside them rested dozens of genealogy charts connecting noble bloodlines, old family records, and forgotten pack histories. The council had made him study every possible lead, convinced that somewhere among those names lay the only woman capable of breaking the curse hanging over the royal bloodline.He still remembered
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 16 — A MOTHER'S HEART
By the time they had finished walking through the palace grounds, the morning sun had climbed high into the sky.Cassandra had shown Lyra almost every corner of the royal estate. Every place carried a story, and Cassandra seemed to know them all.Lyra listened quietly, smiling whenever Cassandra pointed out a favorite tree or recalled a childhood memory Dominic had left behind somewhere in the palace grounds.She hadn't realized how long they had been walking until a dull ache began creeping into the soles of her feet. After spending two long days cramped inside Dominic's SUV during the journey from Ashbourne, her legs had barely recovered from the stiffness.She tried not to show it.Years of living in Ashbourne had taught her never to complain, no matter how tired she felt. If anything hurt, she endured it. If she was exhausted, she kept walking. No one had ever stopped what they were doing simply because she was uncomfortable.As they rounded another garden path, Cassandra slowed h
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 15 — A PLACE TO BELONG
The palace was already alive with activity by the time Lyra stepped out of the grand entrance. Warm morning sunlight poured over the marble steps, bathing the gardens in a golden glow. Waiting at the foot of the steps was Cassandra.She had already changed from what she wore earlier that morning during breakfast and now wore a full-flowing floral sundress that moved gently with the breeze. A wide-brimmed cream sun hat shaded her face, and she held another matching hat in her hands.The moment she saw Lyra, her face brightened.“There you are,” she said warmly. “I was beginning to think you’d changed your mind about coming with me on the palace tour."Lyra smiled shyly.“I’m sorry... I got caught up trying to decide what to wear."Cassandra’s gaze swept over her, taking in the white sundress adorned with delicate flowers. It hugged her gently from the waist up with its elastic bodice, while the skirt flared softly from her waist down to just above her knees. The straps tied into small
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 14 — THE COUNCIL’S DEMANDS
Dominic sat at the head of the table with Adrian occupying the seat to his right. Morning sunlight streamed through the tall windows of the council chamber, painting long golden streaks across the polished stone floor. Unlike the elders, who looked eager after finally locating the girl they had searched for over the past eighteen years, Dominic remained unreadable. His fingers rested loosely on the armrest of his chair while his gaze wandered toward the windows overlooking the palace gardens.The oldest elder rose first.“Your Majesty,” he began with a respectful bow, “before we discuss anything else, allow us to thank the Moon Goddess for guiding you to the girl we have searched for all these years.”Several elders nodded in agreement.“At last,” another elder added quietly, “the Moon Goddess Heir has returned to the Northern Kingdom.”Dominic remained silent for a moment before slowly lifting his eyes toward them.“I think you’re celebrating too soon.”The excitement around the ta
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 2 - ROGUES AND HEAT WAVE
Without thinking, Lyra took a step back. She stumbled as her boot heel caught the edge of the rock, and her balance failed her. A startled cry escaped her as she fell into the pool. Cold water closed over her head.Laughter erupted from the three rogues on the shore.Lyra surfaced, gasping, water s
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
