Caelan had driven his old jeep as far as the old logging road would allow, tires crunching over gravel and fallen branches, until the path simply ended. Swallowed by forest.

Then they'd walked.

Nearly five miles through woods that grew denser with every step, Vivienne's boots sinking into soft earth that smelled of decay and renewal. Her breath came in white clouds in the cold night air, and her thighs burned from climbing over fallen logs and navigating slopes slick with moss.

Now they stood

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 55 – THE DEAL CHANGED

    Caelan had driven his old jeep as far as the old logging road would allow, tires crunching over gravel and fallen branches, until the path simply ended. Swallowed by forest.Then they'd walked.Nearly five miles through woods that grew denser with every step, Vivienne's boots sinking into soft earth that smelled of decay and renewal. Her breath came in white clouds in the cold night air, and her thighs burned from climbing over fallen logs and navigating slopes slick with moss. Now they stood in a clearing no larger than a living room, surrounded by trees that seemed to lean in and listen. The coordinates had led them here, to the middle of nowhere, deep in the neutral territories where no pack held claim. The kind of place where people came to conduct business they didn't want witnessed.They had been waiting nearly an hour now with no sign of anybody else coming.Vivienne wrapped her arms around herself, but the chill had settled into her bones long ago. Beside her, Caelan shifted

    Caelan woke to cold sheets beside him - again.He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling of his room in the pack house, listening to the silence where Vivienne's breathing should have been. This had become their pattern. She would slip into his bed after midnight long after everyone else had gone to bed. Then he would wake alone.It had been months now. Ever since Vivienne returned from the capital, she'd grown distant in ways he couldn't name. He dressed quickly and made his way downstairs, his wolf restless and uneasy. The pack house was quiet this early, most of the pack still sleeping off the Moon Harvest Festival celebrations. The basement computer room hummed with the sound of cooling fans and electricity. Vivienne sat alone at a terminal, her face bathed in the blue glow of multiple screens, fingers flying across the keyboard. She didn't turn when he entered. "You're awake," she said.Caelan crossed the room and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Her skin was warm, but

    Cassandra settled into her chair at the dining table and looked around the empty room.Again.She sighed, picking up her napkin. The late afternoon sun slanted through the tall windows, casting long shadows across the polished floor. The palace always felt too quiet when she dined alone.A servant appeared at her elbow, pouring wine with practiced efficiency.Cassandra paused, her glass halfway to her lips. "Has Lyra not come down since morning?"The servant exchanged a glance with another staff member near the sideboard. "No, my lady. She never came for breakfast. No one has seen her since last night's Moon Festival in the woods."Cassandra set her glass down with a sharp click.

    Dominic closed the door with a soft click.The sound seemed loud in the sudden quiet of the room. He turned back to where Lyra stood, her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide and dark with wanting. She looked beautiful and nervous and brave all at once.He crossed the space between them slowly, giving her time to change her mind. Giving them both time to breathe.When he reached her, he took her hands in his. Her fingers were trembling."Are you sure about this?" His voice was rough, strained with the effort of holding back. "I don't want to rush you. We can stop. We can slow down. Just tell me…""I'm sure." The words came out as a whisper, but there was no hesitation in them.Lyr

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 51 - THE CONFESSION

    Lyra sat on the edge of her bed, arms wrapped around her middle.Her stomach growled loud enough to echo in the quiet room.She ignored it.Breakfast had started an hour ago, and the dining hall would be full of people by now. Full of him. She couldn't face that. Not after last night. Not after she'd fled from the woods like a coward, leaving Dominic standing alone beneath the moonlight.She'd gone straight back to the palace. Bypassed the festival entirely. Locked herself in her room and pretended the world didn't exist.That had been hours ago.A small, foolish voice at the back of her mind had whispered that he might follow. That he might knock on her door and demand to talk to her. That he might apologize, or explain, or say something, anything, that would make the ache in her chest disappear.He hadn't come.She pressed her palm against her chest, trying to soothe the hollow pain there."Stupid," she muttered to herself. "So stupid."Why would he follow her? Why would he apologiz

    The following morning found Dominic seated behind his desk in his office, but his attention was miles away.Adrian stood across from him, a stack of documents tucked beneath one arm as he delivered the morning briefing."There's something else that requires your approval," Adrian said. "The Silvermoon Pack has requested an audience with you. Their Alpha wants to discuss a possible alliance with us."Dominic's gaze remained fixed on the window, though he wasn't really looking outside.Adrian continued anyway. "I actually think this could be beneficial for us. Silvermoon controls one of the most fertile regions on the continent. Their farms produce enough grain to feed several neighboring territories, and part of their land is rich with rare minerals. An alliance would strengthen our economy considerably."He frowned thoughtfully. "What I don't understand is why they're approaching us now. They've spent decades refusing to join the Northern Kingdom, and suddenly they're requesting a pri

    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

    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

    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
