POV: Kael

The ring felt unnaturally cold in my palm.

Even with adrenaline still surging through me after the assassin vanished into the lower corridor, even with my blood burning hot beneath my skin, the metal felt dead and icy against my hand, as though betrayal itself had taken shape.

I stood in the corridor outside the council chamber staring at the black iron seal beneath the torchlight, every instinct in me sharpening around what it meant.

Nightbane’s crest glimmered unmistakably across it

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 120: The Blade of Ardyn

    POV: LioraThe sword hovered before me, suspended within a whirl of silver light that illuminated the Hall of Kings. Ancient runes glowed across its blade, their symbols shifting like moonlight dancing upon water. Every statue surrounding the chamber remained bowed, creating a sight so overwhelming that for several heartbeats I could only stare.Hundreds of rulers.Hundreds of warriors.Hundreds of legends preserved through centuries.All acknowledging me.The weight of that realization settled heavily upon my shoulders.Throughout my life, I had carried many titles. Daughter of Bloodmoon. Fugitive. Murderer. Rogue. Warrior. Mate. Heir.Yet standing inside that hall, surrounded by kings and queens whose names filled forgotten histories, every identity I had known seemed smaller than the truth unfolding before me.The voice that had spoken through the chamber belonged to something older than memory.Something that recognized a destiny I was still struggling to understand.“Take it.”Th

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 119: The Hall of Forgotten Kings

    POV: KaelThe deeper we traveled beneath the Temple of Aurelian, the heavier the air became.Ancient power saturated every stone surrounding us. It lingered within the walls like an invisible presence, watching silently as we moved through corridors untouched by sunlight for thousands of years. The torches lining the passageway burned with silver flames rather than ordinary fire, casting pale light across carvings that seemed almost alive whenever shadows shifted.Each step carried us farther from the world above.Farther from armies and battlefields.Farther from familiar dangers.The mountain felt like a kingdom buried beneath history itself.Lucien walked near the front of our group, his expression growing more troubled with every chamber we crossed. Several times he paused to examine murals or faded inscriptions carved into the walls. Memories seemed to haunt him here.This place belonged to his era.Perhaps even his childhood.For the first time since meeting the ancient king, I

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 118: The Temple of Aurelian

    POV: LioraThe roar echoed across the valley long after the sound itself faded.Every wolf standing on the ridge remained frozen as the mountains carried the ancient cry from peak to peak. Thunder rolled through the darkening sky while distant flashes of lightning illuminated the enormous fortress below. Beneath those brief bursts of light, the Temple of Aurelian looked less like a structure and more like a living giant sleeping among the mountains.I could feel it.The power, the age and the history buried within those walls.The silver beam rising into the heavens seemed connected to something far older than any kingdom I had ever known. It pulsed steadily, like the heartbeat of a sleeping god.Beside me, Kael stood motionless.His gaze remained fixed on the fortress.The mate bond carried his emotions clearly.Concern, focus and determination.Every instinct inside him was already calculating how to reach the temple before Matthias achieved whatever goal had brought him here.Unfor

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 117: The Storm Beyond the Ridge

    POV: LioraThe tremor that rolled beneath Valeria refused to leave my mind.Even after the battle ended and the Hunters vanished into the darkness, the memory lingered inside every warrior gathered within the ancient city. Wolves who had survived countless battles stood quietly around campfires, their expressions grim as they replayed the same terrifying realization.Something had happened at the Second Seal.Something powerful enough to shake mountains.Something capable of drawing fear from ancient rulers who had witnessed the fall of kingdoms.The eastern horizon had begun to brighten by the time our forces finished preparing for departure. Dawn painted the sky in shades of gold and silver, yet the beauty of the morning failed to ease the tension hanging over the camp.Every moment felt precious now and each delay carried risk.Lucien stood beside the ancient map hidden within Valeria's ruined archway while officers gathered around him. Kael, Vera, Mara, Darius, Elyria, and several

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 116: The hunt through Valeria

    POV: KaelA sharp pulse tore through the mate bond.The sensation struck with enough force to pull me upright from the council fire where Lucien had been explaining ancient routes leading toward the Black Ridge. One moment I had been listening to strategies and supply concerns. The next, every instinct inside me locked onto a single realization.Liora was in danger.The reaction came instantly.My wolf surged beneath my skin with violent urgency.Around the fire, several wolves immediately noticed the change.Vera stopped speaking.Thomas lowered the cup in his hand.Lucien's eyes narrowed."What happened?" he asked.I was already moving."Liora."That single word explained everything.The bond between us carried more than emotions now. Since the awakening beneath Nightbane, our connection had deepened into something neither of us fully understood. Fear, pain, danger, and powerful emotions flowed across the link whether we welcomed them or not.At that moment, what I felt from her was

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 115: The Hunter in the Shadows

    POV: LioraSleep never came after the voice spoke.The warning echoed through my thoughts long after the camp settled into uneasy silence. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard those words again.The guardian is falling.The message carried a weight that felt impossible to ignore. Ancient magic rarely wasted energy on meaningless visions. Every encounter with the Moonstone had proven that much. Whenever the old powers reached across time and distance, they did so for a reason.Somewhere beyond the Black Ridge, a battle was unfolding.And someone was losing.Moonlight bathed the ruins of Valeria in silver as I walked alone through the abandoned streets. Ancient buildings cast long shadows across broken stone roads, creating strange shapes that seemed to move whenever the wind stirred the trees. The city possessed a haunting beauty, as though history still lingered within its crumbling walls.A faint sound reached my ears.Footsteps, Light, careful and deliberate.My hand immediately set

  • Alpha’s Deceptive Mate   Chapter 100: The Shadow King's Emergencing

    POV: LioraFor a heartbeat, nobody moved.The enormous silver eye staring from the darkness behind the Moonstone seemed to consume the entire chamber. Every source of light dimmed beneath its gaze. The glowing runes carved into the walls flickered erratically. Even the rivers of silver energy flowi

    POV: LioraThe whisper lingered in the air long after the words faded.A chill traveled down my spine as I stood motionless in the center of the ruined passage, listening to the silence that followed. The voice had sounded different from the Guardian. Its tone lacked the ancient authority that fill

    POV: LioraThe staircase seemed endless.Each step carried us deeper beneath the mountain and farther away from the world we understood. The sounds of battle that had echoed faintly through the fortress gradually disappeared behind layers of ancient stone until silence became our only companion. A

    POV: KaelThe revelation struck the chamber with greater force than any explosion shaking the fortress above.For several seconds, nobody spoke. The silence that followed the Guardian’s warning felt heavy enough to crush the air from my lungs. Matthias had been our enemy from the beginning. Every b
