Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King The Stranger
Chapter TenKashton stared at his reflection in the full-length mirror, his fingers fumbling with the silk tie around his neck. His black suit was tailored to perfection, hugging his broad shoulders and highlighting the sharp, lethal lines of his jaw. The tattoos on his hands—dark, intricate ink that marked his victories and his sins—peaked out from beneath his white cuffs.But his eyes were hollow.He had expected to feel a sense of triumph by now. He had the pack he wanted, the power he craved, and the woman he had chosen to replace the "plain" Nora. So why did he feel like a stranger in his own skin?"Kashton, darling, are you almost ready? The reservation is for eight, and you know how I hate to be kept waiting."Maeve leaned against the doorframe, her presence a sharp contrast to the quiet, grounding energy Nora used to bring into the room. Maeve was wearing a dress that was barely there, a shimmering gold number that screamed for attention. Her scent—heavy jasmine and expensive
Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King Silent
Chapter NineDeluca didn't pull away immediately. He took his time, his thumb dragging slowly across Nora’s lower lip before he finally turned his head. His arm remained locked around her waist, anchoring her to his side so tightly she could feel the frantic thrum of his heart against her ribs.Lord Sanchez stood like a statue of judgment, his face a deep, mottled purple. Beside him, Valencia looked like she had just stepped off a pedestal. Her white dress was pristine, her dark hair falling in perfect waves, but her eyes were twin daggers aimed straight at Nora’s throat."I expected many things from the Alpha of the Northern Ridge," Sanchez said, his voice trembling with suppressed rage."But to find you rutting against a pantry door with a piece of Blood Moon trash while my daughter waits for you? It’s an insult to my lineage.""Get out of my kitchen, Sanchez," Deluca said. His voice was too calm. It was the kind of calm that preceded a massacre."Oh, let him stay, Papa," Valencia i
Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King Heat of the Ridge
Chapter EightAfter George’s cryptic visit, Nora spent most of it in the kitchen, the one place where the chaos of the Northern Ridge seemed to fade into the background. She was elbow-deep in flour, trying to recreate her mother’s honey-bread recipe. It was her way of grounding herself, a small piece of normalcy in a world that was moving too fast."You're doing it wrong," a small voice piped up from the doorway.Nora turned, wiping a smudge of flour from her cheek with the back of her hand. A tiny pup, maybe four years old, stood there with his thumb in his mouth and a messy shock of dark hair. She remembered him, Deluca seems to be fond of him.Calais, the son of one of the pack healers."Am I?" Nora smiled, her heart softening. "And how do you do it, Calais?""My mama says you have to fold it, not squish it," the boy said, stepping closer. He looked at her with wide, curious eyes. "You’re really pretty. You look just like Tiana on the Zagran Show."Nora laughed, a genuine, light s
Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King Brother's Game
Chapter SevenNora’s heart skipped a beat.The heat she had felt from the man’s back instantly turned into a layer of frost against her skin. She stumbled backward, her hand went instinctively to her throat, her fingers brushing the bandage that hid Deluca’s fresh, pulsing mark.The man before her didn’t move. He stood with a casual, predatory grace, his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his tailored charcoal trousers. He was a mirror image of the man who had claimed her the night before—the same broad shoulders, the same obsidian hair. But those eyes… They were a toxic, electric green that seemed to glow in the dim light of the study."Who are you?" Nora whispered, her voice trembling.The man let out a low, dry chuckle. "Didn’t my brother tell you he had a twin? Typical Deluca. He likes to keep the messy parts of his life hidden."He took a step forward, and Nora took a step back, her spine hitting the cold stone of the fireplace mantel."I'm George," he purred, his voice a smo
Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King The Offer
Chapter SixNora woke to the smell of rain, sandalwood, and freshly brewed coffee.She blinked against the morning light filtering through the heavy drapes. The bed felt empty, but the sheets were still warm. She brought a hand to her neck. The skin there was tender, throbbing with a dull, heavy ache, but it wasn’t the cold, hollow pain of rejection. It was a brand. Deluca’s mark.Her wolf purred in her chest, a sound she hadn't felt in five years."You're staring at the ceiling like it has answers."Nora jumped. Deluca was leaning against the doorframe, fully dressed in a crisp black suit, looking every inch the ruthless Alpha he was. His blue eyes were dark, tracking her every movement."I didn't hear you," she whispered, pulling the thick fur blanket up to her chest."I've been watching you sleep for twenty minutes." He pushed off the frame and walked slowly toward the bed. "You look beautiful in my sheets, Nora. You smell like me, too."A deep blush crept up her neck. "Deluca, la
Alpha's Rejected Bride: Claimed by the Ruthless King The Masking
Chapter FiveThe fireplace in the Alpha’s private chambers crackled, the orange light dancing across the walls like a restless spirit. Deluca stood by the hearth, the small, blood-stained scrap of parchment between his fingers feeling heavier than a mountain.He looked toward the bed where Nora lay, her breathing shallow, her face still pale against the dark fur throws. He knew the ritual. It was an ancient, cruel way to hunt. As long as Kashton’s mark remained on her—even a fading, rejected one—it was like a beacon. They didn't even need to cross the border to kill her; they could drain her spirit from afar."Alpha?"Deluca turned to see Rex standing by the door. The warrior's eyes were fixed on the note."It’s a death warrant, Rex," Deluca said, his voice a low, dangerous rumble."They aren't just letting her go. They want her soul back to satisfy the Blood Moon’s pride. They’re calling it a ritual sacrifice.""You can’t let that happen," Rex said, his jaw tightening."But if the Co
