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 disbelief and reached for the crest.Before Adrian could react, she plucked it from his hand and held it up between her fingers. The silver emblem glinted beneath the weak basement light as she examined it from one side and then the other."Come on," she said between laughs. "Those toy crests can be found in every wolf market in the capital. Pups play with them all the time."She lifted it slightly higher and looked at Dominic as though daring him to continue the joke."And you expect me to believe all this because of a toy?"Before Adrian could recover from his surprise, Lyra tossed the crest onto the floor.The metal struck the stone with a sharp clang and spun across the basement floor be
ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM CHAPTER 6 – THE ALPHA KING
Vivienne stared at Lyra's neck as though she could force the mark to reappear through sheer determination."No," she said, stepping closer. "There was a mark there."She pushed Lyra's hair away from her shoulder and examined the skin beneath it. The basement was dimly lit, but there was enough light for everyone to see what she was seeing—or rather, what she wasn't seeing. The mark that had been there earlier was gone."I saw it myself," Vivienne insisted. "It was right here."Lyra frowned and lifted a hand to her neck. Her fingertips brushed over the spot where the mark had been that morning. She remembered touching it in the forest clearing after waking up. She remembered the panic that had followed when she realized what it meant. Yet now the skin felt completely smooth."What mark?" she asked quietly, pretending not to understand what Vivienne was talking about.Vivienne turned toward her so quickly that her dress swished around her ankles."The mark from that rogue," she snapped.
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-expected him to tear out someone's throat on the spot just for a crooked smile.He stepped out, stretching his legs, and the cold air bit pleasantly at his face. Adrian joined him, wearing the same crisp suit he favored for council business, though he’d left the tie hanging loose around his neck. There was no need for decorum tonight, not here. Not with the council’s little errand.“Ready?” Adrian asked, voice pitched low enough to avoid the driver’s ears.Dominic’s jaw flexed. “Let’s get this over with.”They crossed the yard in silence, Adrian only half a step behind, as always. The porch loomed ahead, crowded with elders and pack dignitaries, all of them watching him with a blend of awe an
