ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 22 — ALL EYES ON THE LUNA
The welcoming party led them toward the ceremony grounds.Lyra walked quietly beside Dominic, careful not to fall behind again. She could feel Valeria walking on Dominic's other side, chatting easily with Alpha Marcus about the academy and the latest group of trainees.Lyra kept her attention ahead.As they rounded the final bend, the grounds opened before them.Her steps slowed almost instinctively.The ceremony had been set up in the middle of the largest training field she had ever seen. A temporary wooden podium stood at the front, draped in the royal colors of the Northern Kingdom. Beyond it stretched row upon row of chairs filled with families who had traveled from every corner of the kingdom to witness the graduation of their loved ones.Her eyes drifted farther.Nearly three hundred trainees stood silently in perfect formation across the field.The mountain breeze stirred the banners behind them, but the trainees themselves remained as still as statues."They're impressive, ar
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 21 — THE LUNA’S PLACE
The convoy gradually slowed as the winding mountain road curved around the side of a towering cliff.For most of the journey, Dominic and Valeria had filled the back seat with quiet conversation, slipping easily from one topic to another. Every now and then Valeria's laughter drifted through the car, followed by the rare sound of Dominic chuckling in return.As River Rock drew closer, however, Dominic reached for the folder one of the guards had placed beside him earlier."I need to go through these reports before we arrive," he said.Valeria nodded in understanding and leaned closer as he opened the file, occasionally pointing out something on the pages between them.Gradually, the conversation faded, leaving only the steady hum of the engine.Lyra had been staring out of the window for most of the journey, but this time she found herself leaning forward without even realizing it.A river wound gracefully through the valley below, its clear waters glinting beneath the morning sun bef
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 20—SMILED TOO SOON
Lyra’s smile faded.Only moments ago, excitement had fluttered inside her chest at the thought of accompanying Dominic on her first official visit outside the palace. For the first time since arriving in the Northern Kingdom, Lyra had felt... alive.Now, all those feelings quietly unraveled.The beautiful woman standing beside Dominic looked as though she belonged there.Long ebony hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, catching the morning sunlight. Her amber eyes sparkled as she spoke, and a graceful smile curved her lips. She wore an elegant floral dress beneath a fitted coat that stressed her tall, feminine figure without appearing ostentatious.She was breathtaking.Not in the fragile, understated way Lyra had often been described.This woman possessed the polished beauty of someone born into royalty. Every movement was effortless. Every smile carried confidence. Even the way her hand rested naturally around Dominic’s arm spoke of years of familiarity.They were talking quiet
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 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 1: MY BOYFRIEND FOUND HIS MATE
Lyra stepped out of the bathroom and tightened the towel around herself as steam drifted through her bedroom.Her gaze fell on the outfit spread across her bed, and a nervous smile tugged at her lips.Tonight was finally the night she was losing her virginity..For months, she and her boyfriend Cae
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
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 ga
