BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 53: Fight Back
The result was immediate and dramatic, as energy surged through my body with enough force to make the red-haired prototype's eyes widen in surprise. I shifted back to human form and grabbed his wrist with both hands, channeling the combined power through the bond into a concentrated burst that burned his artificial flesh where I touched him.He released me with a hiss that might have been pain or might have been mere surprise at encountering something unexpected. "Interesting," he said, examining the burn marks on his wrist. "You have bonded with a lycan and can share power through that connection, which was not in our tactical briefing about your capabilities.""Good," I gasped as I struggled to my feet. "I love surprising people who think they know everything about me."The white-haired prototype had reached Keira by now and had wrapped one hand around her throat, lifting her off the ground with effortless strength. "Retrieval complete," she announced to her companions. "Recommend i
BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 52: Three Prototypes
We ran.We ran through corridors and down staircases while alarm bells rang throughout the Keep, their clanging rhythm matching the pounding of my heart as we raced toward whatever was emerging from those portals.Caspian was beside me with his hand on his weapon, Ezra was ahead of us clearing the path, and Keira followed behind under guard because we still could not fully trust her despite her claims of sisterhood and cleansing.The courtyard was chaos when we arrived, with warriors scrambling to form defensive positions while three massive figures stepped through the largest portal I had ever seen. They were humanoid but wrong, too perfect in their proportions and too cold in their movements, like watching statues come to life with none of the warmth or humanity that should accompany living things."The prototypes," Keira whispered from behind me, her voice filled with horror and recognition. "The three artificial First Moon warriors I told you about, and they are here for me just l
BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER: 51: The Plan
Keira took a shaky breath and began to speak in a rush, her words tumbling over each other in her haste to get them all out. "They call it the Ascension Project, and they have been working on it for decades using every First Moon descendant they could capture or kill. Our bloodline is not just a key to unlock ancient power like everyone thinks, it is a blueprint for creating new power, power that has never existed before in any form.""What kind of power?" I asked, though part of me was not sure I wanted to know the answer."They are trying to create artificial First Moon descendants, beings that have all the abilities of our bloodline without any of the limitations or vulnerabilities that come with being mortal." Keira's voice dropped to barely above a whisper. "They have already succeeded with three prototypes, and those three are nearly unstoppable in combat because they can channel pure essence like you can but they feel no pain, they need no rest, and they cannot be killed by con
BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 50: Sister's Secrets
Sleep refused to come that night, no matter how hard I tried to force it.I lay in bed staring at the ceiling while my mind raced through everything Keira had told us, everything she had revealed, everything she might still be hiding. Through the bond, I could feel Caspian's similar restlessness radiating from where he lay beside me, his consciousness churning with the same questions and doubts that plagued my own thoughts."You should try to rest," he said quietly into the darkness, though his voice carried no real conviction that either of us would manage it."I have a sister," I said, testing the words aloud to see if they felt more real when spoken. "An actual blood sister who survived everything Marcus did to our family, who escaped the Shadow Court's experiments, who has been hiding and watching for years while I stumbled through this nightmare alone.""If her story is true," Caspian reminded me, though his tone was gentle rather than accusatory."The blood tests do not lie, and
BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 49: Blood Ties
I stared at the woman claiming to be my sister.It was impossible. My mother had only one child. Me. Marcus had made that very clear during all those years of captivity."That's not possible," I said."I know what Marcus told you. He told me the same thing. That I was the only one. That our mother died giving birth to me." Keira's eyes, so similar to mine, were steady. "He lied to both of us.""Prove it," Caspian said before I could respond. "Prove you're who you claim to be."Keira pulled something from her cloak. A locket. Old and tarnished. She opened it to reveal two portraits inside.One was a woman I recognized from faded memories. My mother. Younger. Smiling.The other was a little girl with auburn hair and familiar eyes."Our mother gave me this before she died. She told me I had a sister, that Marcus would keep us separated, and that I had to stay hidden until it was safe." Keira's voice wavered. "I've been hiding for twenty years. Watching from a distance. Waiting for the rig
BOUGHT BY THE BEAST CHAPTER 48: The Choice
"Fifty-six. Fifty-five. Fifty-four."Valdis kept counting. The blade pressed harder against Stephen's throat. A thin line of blood appeared.Through the bond, I felt Caspian's cold calculation. He was already assessing angles, counting enemies, planning attack vectors.But we both knew the truth. We could not reach both groups in time."Stop counting," I said."Forty-eight. Forty-seven. Make your choice, Your Majesty."I looked at the hostages. Twenty-three terrified faces. Mothers. Fathers. Children. People who had come to witness democracy and were now paying for it with their lives.Then I looked at Stephen. Beaten almost beyond recognition. One of the few Council members who had actually supported me."This is impossible," I said."That's the point." Valdis smiled. "Leadership is about impossible choices. About deciding who lives and who dies. So decide. Thirty seconds.""Rielle," Caspian said quietly through the bond. "Whatever you choose, I support it."But I could feel his confl
