An Heir For The Comatose Alpha chapter thirty two
ConstanceThe hall dissolved into chaos the moment the guard finished speaking, elders rising from their seats in a wave of murmured alarm, servants scrambling toward the doors, Ferdinand's own guard captain shouting orders that got swallowed in the general noise. I stood frozen near the dais, still wearing the dress built for my own binding, watching the man who'd spent weeks systematically dismantling my life stand exposed, for one unguarded moment, as something other than untouchable."Clear the hall," Ferdinand said, and though his voice had regained most of its composure, I heard the strain still threading through it. "Elders, return to your chambers. I will address the council properly once I have full word from the border." His pale eyes swept the room, cataloguing everyone still present with the same cold precision I'd come to dread, and for one terrible second they landed on me, lingering a beat too long before moving on. "Constance. You're dismissed as well. Go rest. You've

ConstanceMorning came grey and too quiet, the kind of silence that settles over a place right before it breaks. I woke curled against William's shoulder, the old leather-bound book still open on the table where we'd finally abandoned it sometime past three, my eyes raw from reading, my mind still turning over half-memorized phrases in a language older than either of us."You should sleep more," William murmured, his voice rough with the same exhaustion, though his arm tightened around me instead of letting go."I can't." I sat up, rubbing at my eyes, the weight of the day already pressing down before it had properly begun. "If I close my eyes again I'll lose the words. I need them exact, William. Not close. Exact."He studied me a long moment, something proud and worried tangled together in his expression, before he reached for the book himself and turned it toward me. "Then we go through it once more. Slowly. All the way to the end."We spent the early morning hours the same way we'

ConstanceWilliam was between me and the door before I'd even registered moving, his body angled to shield mine, every trace of the man who'd just been arguing with me over tea and strategy gone, replaced by something colder, sharper, ready.The footsteps stopped outside. A single knock sounded, three careful raps.The tension in William's shoulders eased, just slightly, though he didn't step back from the door until Ysolde had already crossed to open it herself.Julian stood in the corridor, breathless, one hand braced against the frame, his coat still damp from whatever route he'd taken back through the keep's colder passages."I came back as fast as I could," he said, pushing past Ysolde into the room. "You need to hear this before anyone else tells it to you differently.""The ceremony," I said."Tomorrow night," Julian confirmed. "Not two days. Not three. Tomorrow, at sundown, in the great hall, before every elder Ferdinand could summon on short notice." He dragged a hand through

Constance"Moved up to when?" William asked, already on his feet, the hood falling back from his face now that secrecy in this room had become the least of our problems."I don't know." Julian's hand was still braced against the door, listening to the bell's slow, formal tolling continue beyond it. "That rhythm means tomorrow. Maybe the day after. It doesn't ring like that for anything less than a full ceremony announcement.""Five days became two," I said, the box Ysolde had given me still clutched tight in my hands. "Or less."Ysolde rose from her chair, her expression unreadable, but the way her shoulders tightened told me she was already thinking fast. "This isn't coincidence," she said. "Ferdinand doesn't move ceremonial dates on a whim. Something forced his hand tonight, and I don't like how neatly the timing sits beside everything we've just discussed in this room.""You think he knows," William said. It wasn't quite a question."I think a man like Ferdinand rarely tips his ful

ConstanceYsolde's chambers sat at the edge of the keep, beyond a corridor so neglected that moss had started growing between the flagstones. Julian led the way with a lantern shielded low against his palm, and William walked close behind me, hood drawn, moving with the same borrowed anonymity that had carried him through the archive breach weeks earlier."She won't harm you," Julian said quietly, more to reassure himself than either of us, I suspected. "Whatever else she is, she's never struck me as someone who enjoys cruelty for its own sake. Ferdinand keeps her because her magic is useful. That doesn't mean she likes him."The door at the end of the corridor stood ajar, candlelight spilling out in a thin gold line across the stone floor. Ysolde was waiting when we entered, seated at a table crowded with jars and dried herbs, her violet-veined skin catching the candlelight in a way that made her look like she'd survived some other age entirely."Sit," she said, not looking up from t

ConstanceWilliam was waiting exactly where I'd left him, and the moment I stepped through the door he crossed the room fast, his hands finding my shoulders, searching my face for damage before I'd said a single word."Tell me.""He has the letter locked in his desk," I said, my voice steadier than I felt. "He denied knowing anything about my aunt. But he doesn't believe our story, William. Not fully. He listed everything, one piece at a time — the trial, the time I spend here, the debts, Julian, the aunt. He said individually each one means nothing. Together, they mean something he doesn't trust."William's jaw tightened. He pulled me into him, one arm wrapping around my waist as his chin rested briefly against the top of my head. "Five days," he said."Five days," I confirmed, letting myself lean into him before I pulled back enough to see his face. "He's watching us more closely than we realized. Julian thinks it's not just us anymore. He thinks Ferdinand's had eyes on all three of
