CHAPTER 36:

The alarm bells echoed through the Blackwood Sanctuary before sunrise, the deep, relentless toll shattered the quiet that usually blanketed the mountains, sending warriors rushing from every corridor and courtyard. Within moments, torches flickered to life along the stone walls as soldiers armed themselves, expecting an attack from beyond the gates.

Instead…the enemy had already been inside.

  • Alpha King’s One Night Mate   THE PRICE OF LOYALTY 

    CHAPTER 39Sophia woke to the scent of damp stone. For several long moments, she lay perfectly still, unable to separate memory from reality. Her head throbbed with a dull ache that pulsed behind her temples, while an unfamiliar cold seeped through the thin fabric of her sweater and settled into her skin. Somewhere nearby, water dripped rhythmically against stone, the sound echoing through a room she could not yet see.She opened her eyes slowly. The ceiling above her was arched, built from rough grey rock blackened by age. A single lantern burned from an iron hook, its weak flame pushing trembling shadows across the walls. The room was neither luxurious nor abandoned. It possessed the careful simplicity of a place designed for one purpose alone to keep people from leaving.Sophia pushed herself upright, ignoring the dizziness that immediately followed. Her wrists were free. Her ankles were free that surprised her.Whoever had brought her here hadn’t bothered with ropes. They didn’t b

  • Alpha King’s One Night Mate   THE CHILD GATES

    CHAPTER 38 The command room fell silent. No one moved nor spoke.The messenger’s words lingered in the air like an omen. A newborn… wearing the royal crest of House Blackwood.Damien slowly rose from behind his desk, his expression betraying nothing, but Lucas recognized the warning signs. Whenever Damien became this composed, it meant his mind was already several steps ahead of everyone else.He didn’t ask questions.He simply walked toward the Sanctuary gates.Lucas and Adrian followed immediately.Snow continued to fall over the mountains, covering the stone pathways in a blanket of white. By the time they reached the main entrance, nearly every guard stationed nearby had gathered in uneasy silence.No one dared touch the child.An old wicker basket rested just outside the iron gates, shielded from the snow beneath a thick wool blanket embroidered with the ancient Blackwood crest.The baby wasn’t crying.Instead, the tiny infant slept peacefully, completely unaware o

  • Alpha King’s One Night Mate   THE WOMAN WHO REFUSED TO BREAK

    CHAPTER 37The needle stopped barely an inch from Aria’s stomach, and a hand seized the intruder’s wrist with crushing force.The silence inside the bedroom shattered.Before the assassin could react, Damien twisted the stranger’s arm sharply, sending the syringe crashing onto the wooden floor. The tiny glass vial rolled beneath the bed, its transparent liquid catching the moonlight.The assassin tried to break free, but Damien was faster.Years of combat had taught him never to hesitate. One movement could lead to one strike.The intruder stumbled backward, crashing into the bedside table before sprinting toward the hidden passage.Lucas and Adrian burst through the bedroom door at the same instant, the entire floor erupted into chaos.“Seal every exit!” Lucas barked.Within seconds, Blackwood warriors flooded the corridors.Aria woke with a gasp. Her heart pounded violently as she struggled to understand what had happened.She saw Damien standing between her and the open passageway

    CHAPTER 36: The alarm bells echoed through the Blackwood Sanctuary before sunrise, the deep, relentless toll shattered the quiet that usually blanketed the mountains, sending warriors rushing from every corridor and courtyard. Within moments, torches flickered to life along the stone walls as soldiers armed themselves, expecting an attack from beyond the gates.Instead…the enemy had already been inside.Lucas was the first to reach the northern corridor where the body had been discovered. The young guard lay motionless against the cold stone floor, his eyes still open, his expression frozen in shock. There were no signs of struggle. No broken furniture. No overturned weapons.Only a thin crimson line across his throat, it was a precise cut. Professional, the kind that killed before the victim had time to scream.Adrian crouched beside the body, studying every detail without touching it. Years in the military had taught him that the smallest clue often carried the greatest truth.“He n

  • Alpha King’s One Night Mate   THE FIRST MOVE

    CHAPTER 36:The Sanctuary had never felt this quiet, not the peaceful silence that usually settled over the mountains before dawn, but the kind that came before something terrible happenedDamien stood alone inside the command room, the confidential report still lying open on the desk before him.“Isabella knows the baby is still alive with the mother.”He had read those five words more times than he cared to admit. Each time they seemed heavier than before.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, snow drifted lazily over the mountains, covering the Sanctuary in an almost deceptive beauty. It was difficult to believe that somewhere beyond those white peaks, people were already planning the murder of a child who had never taken its first breath.A knock sounded against the door.Lucas entered carrying another folder. “I’ve doubled the guards around Lady Aria’s quarters.”Damien looked up. “And?”Lucas hesitated. “She isn’t happy about it.”A faint smile tugged at the corner of Damien’s m

  • Alpha King’s One Night Mate   THE TRAITOR AMONG US

    CHAPTER 34 The revelation crept through the command hall like a thick fog, causing one person to speak. The intelligence file remained on the table between Damien, Lucas, and Adrian, yet it felt heavier than any weapon lying inside the Sanctuary’s armory.Someone inside Blackwood had betrayed them.Not months ago. Not years ago, but recently. Otherwise, the Alpha Council could never have discovered the underground escape tunnels passageways known only to the Alpha King, his Betas, and a handful of trusted warriors who had sworn blood oaths to protect the Blackwood lineage.Damien slowly closed the file. His expression revealed nothing, but Lucas had served beside him long enough to recognize the dangerous calm settling over him.Whenever Damien became this quiet…someone always paid the price.Lucas drew a slow breath before speaking. “The spy inside Mooncrest has never given us false information.”Adrian remained standing near the map table, his eyes fixed on the mountain routes s
