Alaric

I had seen blood-soaked battlefields, men screaming as teeth and claws tore out their innards. I had stood knee-deep in death and never once faltered. But the moment I rushed to the bed and saw her—my mate—bound like an animal, unconscious, with her wrists raw from the rope, panic unlike anything I had ever known clawed through me.

My hands trembled as I reached for her, lifting her fragile body into my arms. She felt weightless, as if she had been carrying burdens far heavier than her o

    Alaric“Impossible!” Bryan screeched like a banshee, his voice high-pitched and ugly. “This is not possible. Kelly is my mate, she bears my mark so how could she be your fated mate? There must be a mistake, Your Highness!”The sound scraped my ears raw. My wolf, Frite, roared in my head, demanding I end him now.I turned slowly, fury radiating from every inch of me. “You dare dispute my words? Are you insane? Do you think I care that you forced your filthy mark onto my mate? She does not belong to you. She was never yours to begin with. And I will erase both you and your pathetic mark from existence.”Bryan’s face flushed red, his lips curling into a sneer. “You cannot do this, Your Highness! This is nothing but an abuse of power. Out of all the women in Ernysia, why did you choose to take my wife from me?!”“Stop calling her yours!” I snarled, and before the last word even left my lips, my boot connected with his stomach.The satisfying crack of impact filled the air. Bryan doubled o

    AlaricI had seen blood-soaked battlefields, men screaming as teeth and claws tore out their innards. I had stood knee-deep in death and never once faltered. But the moment I rushed to the bed and saw her—my mate—bound like an animal, unconscious, with her wrists raw from the rope, panic unlike anything I had ever known clawed through me.My hands trembled as I reached for her, lifting her fragile body into my arms. She felt weightless, as if she had been carrying burdens far heavier than her own flesh. Her skin was pale, cheek bruised like she had been struck across it hard, and her head lolled against my chest as though she no longer had the strength to hold it up.No. No, I would not lose her.I ripped the knots free, untying her wrists and ankles with a speed born of desperation. The sight of the rope burns made my vision blur red. Whoever had done this would beg for death before I was through. Carefully, I peeled the tape from her mouth, every second feeling like torture.“Wake u

    Kelly I could feel myself crumbling inside, the same way I always did under their poison. Every time, I let them reduce me to nothing. But not today. Something fierce burned in my chest. I wouldn’t stand for it today.“I’m not barren,” I countered, my voice trembling but firm.Miranda’s laughter was cold and shrill. “Really? Then what would you call five years of marriage with not even a single pregnancy? There’d be hope if you at least had miscarriages.”My lips curved into a smile that was sweet and venomous all at once. “You seem to forget, Mother, that a man needs to plant his seed for the woman to get pregnant. So let me correct you. For the past five years, Bryan has failed to plant his seed. Seems to me like a skill issue.”Bryan’s head whipped toward me, his voice rising with fury. “Are you implying that—”“Hush,” I cut in sharply, my voice slicing through his like glass. “I’m not done speaking.”My hands trembled as I reached for the zipper of my dress. The sound was deafeni

    Kelly“You look like you just saw a ghost. Relax, Kelly.” Bryan suddenly laughed, trying to play it off as a joke. As if he hadn't just threatened to murder me. My skin crawled. I wanted to spit in his smug face, but before I could muster the courage, the sharp trill of the iPad on the nightstand broke through the air.The ringing startled me so much that I jolted. It was the last sound I expected to hear and it didn't do any good for the fear Bryan's words had already inflicted.Bryan walked over to pick it up, his gait casual, as though nothing in the world could touch him. Something in me stirred with dread but I followed him.I regretted it instantly.On the glowing screen, I saw the name flashing: Father. A video call. It was probably both my parents. My heart started beating wildly. I was already having a horrible day, they would only make it worse.Before I could say a word, before I could beg him not to, Bryan answered.And suddenly, the room filled with voices that could stil

    Kelly There were times I often found myself wondering where men got the audacity to perform foolishness with such brazen confidence.Right now was one of those times.He really had the guts to ask me where my ring was when he was just sleeping with another woman. A sharp response bubbled up my throat but I swallowed it down because I couldn't afford to make a mistake now.I just had to tolerate his bullshit for a couple more hours and I would be free.Just endure till the Alpha King comes. I kept telling myself over and over again.Bryan's fingers were still curled possessively around my wrist when I pulled my hand away and forced on a sad expression, voice trembling slightly. “I don't know. It must have fallen off somewhere.”His eyes darkened on me in a way that made the room cold. He stepped back as if I’d committed sacrilege.“It what?! How can you sound so relaxed about it after losing something as precious as your ring?”There was a metallic edge to his voice, the kind that sli

    KellyWhoever said women needed to be strong all the time; to face all of life’s troubles with a smile on her face was talking out of their ass.Seeing the husband I loved so much with Tetra was so painful I couldn’t even describe it. Maybe the sheer shock had numbed me at first, because I hadn’t shed a tear—only made that cold promise to take back everything that was mine. But as soon as I walked out of that room, as soon as I left the sound of his groans and her moans behind, everything came crashing down.The disturbing images of Bryan balls deep in Tetra replayed over and over in my mind like a grotesque horror film. I wanted to claw my own skull open and rip the pictures out, but they just got clearer, sharper, filthier. My chest seized, my breaths came in ragged gasps, and before I even realized it, I was sobbing so hard I couldn’t breathe.What had I done to deserve this? Why me? Why was it always me who had to suffer like this?It was purely by goddess Selene’s grace that I ma
