  • BOUND BY THE ROGUE ALPHA: SWORN TO THE LYCAN KING   Sixteen

    RIAI stood near the fireplace in Kael’s room. I used a towel to dry my wet hair. The main hall downstairs was still quiet after Darius killed Selene. The blood on the floor was gone, but the room still felt cold.Out at the iron gates of our territory, Kael was finishing pack business.Lyra Vale stood in the cold water outside the gates. Her jacket was soaked. Her black hair was stuck to her face. She had helped Selene spread lies about me to the elders. She had tried to turn the whole pack against me. Now her time in our territory was over. Kael stood right in front of her. His big frame blocked the light. His face was cold and hard."Please, Kael," Lyra begged. Her voice shook from the freezing wind. "I was only loyal to the Beta rank! You cannot throw me away like this. We have history together! I supported you for years!""Your history means nothing to me," Kael said. His voice was flat and harsh. "You betrayed this pack. You tried to ruin Ria’s name. You helped a traitor."Kael

    RIAThe pack hall was packed to the limit. High-ranking wolves stood shoulder to shoulder around the heavy stone table.. They whispered back and forth, trying to guess why the Alpha had called an emergency assembly of the pack council.Kael stood at the head of the table. His tall frame threw a massive shadow across the floor. Darius sat at his right hand, his dark eyes locked on the crowd. I stood right between them, my pulse hammering against my ribs. The elders stared at me with heavy, doubtful eyes. I held my ground and stared right back."Silence," Kael growled.His command crashed through the room. The hall fell dead silent. Nobody dared to breathe when the Alpha spoke like that."There is a snake in our territory," Kael said, his voice cold enough to freeze blood. "Information has been leaking to rogue packs. Tonight, the traitor gets exposed."Beta Selene stepped out from the front row of the council. Her face was a mask of perfect calm, but her scent was spiked with sour fear

    RIAThe sex was good, but we both knew we had tocontinue with the healing, Kael stood directly behind me, his hand resting on the small of my back. He felt like an iron furnace against the damp chill of the room. Down below us, Tonia’s skin looked gray inside her glass coffin."Are you ready?" Kael asked."No," I said. "I am never ready for this room.""It takes ten seconds, Ria," he said, his voice dropping low near my ear. "Just ten seconds, and then I carry you back upstairs.""You do not need to carry me," I said, stepping forward until my knees hit the stone base of the coffin. "I can walk.""You did not walk yesterday," Kael said. "And you barely walked the day before.""Because your crypt is an icebox, Kael.""Because you are giving up your life force," he corrected. He pulled the silver dagger from his belt and reached for my left hand. "Give me your finger."I held out my hand. He held my wrist steady, his thumb resting over my pulse point. He pricked the tip of my index fin

    RiaMy feet dragged on the stone floor as Kael led me back inside the master suite.The mark on my shoulder was still throbbing hot from his bite in the courtyard. The blood on my linen tunic had dried into a stiff red patch over my collarbone, and my legs felt like lead from the second blood drop we had just completed in the crypt."Sit down on the bed," Kael said, closing the heavy oak doors behind us and throwing the iron bolt into place."I do not want to lie down," I said, my voice quiet. I walked slowly toward the tall silver vanity mirror near the balcony windows, resting my hands on the carved wooden frame to keep my knees from shaking. "If I lie down right now, I will not wake up until tomorrow."Kael walked up behind me. He did not have his tunic on. His broad chest was bare, his skin still marked with the red lines my nails had left on him yesterday. In the mirror, his dark gray eyes watched my reflection."Your face is pale," Kael said. He reached for a wooden comb on the

    RiaMy shoulder still felt warm from Kael's bed when I stepped out into the stone corridor on the morning of the second day .He had let me sleep beside him without touching me again, his hand heavy and protective over my waist all night. I was on my way to fetch a fresh set of clothes from the lower washrooms while Kael spoke with his commanders.The corridor was long, cold, and quiet. The morning sun was barely breaking through the high slit windows.I had just passed the turn toward the guard posts when a arm reached out from a dark alcove. A hand slammed around my wrist and yanked me sideways off the main path."Get your hand off me!" I snapped, my heel sliding on the damp stone.Darius shoved me back against the cold wall. His eyes were wide, bloodshot, and frantic. He reeked of stale liquor and cold sweat, and the sword at his hip clattered loudly against his thigh as he crowded into my space."Where are you going in such a hurry, Ria?" Darius whispered. His thumb pressed down h

    RIAThe underground crypt was freezing. Kael held my thumb over Tonia’s glass coffin. He pulled out a silver blade, his face pale and tight in the dim light."You ready for this?" Kael asked."Just cut it, Kael," I said. "We agreed to seven days. Let us get the first drop done."He pressed the sharp edge against my skin. A thick drop of red blood formed on my thumb. He tilted my hand over the glass slider, and the blood dropped straight onto Tonia's cold lips.The moment it left my body, a sudden cold hit my chest.It felt as if my heart stopped beating. The stone walls blurred around me. My knees gave out, and my legs went totally limp. A freezing shiver slammed through my spine, making my teeth chatter so hard my jaw hurt."Ria!" Kael shouted.He dropped the blade and caught me before I hit the floor. His hands were shaking against my cheeks."It is... so cold," I managed to say. My breath came out as white fog. "I cannot feel my hands.""Your core temperature is crashing," Kael sai

  • BOUND BY THE ROGUE ALPHA: SWORN TO THE LYCAN KING   The Beginning

    RIYA’s POVThe tower felt different that night. But I remember the warning carved deeply into my bone, every word my mom uttered as she lay dying. They were supposed to be our enemy, not one I’ll be acquainted with. My eyes snapped towards the hot burning wood. The fire snapped in the hearth, ca

    RIYA’s POVThe tower room was too quiet. Too perfect. Too much like a cage draped in silk. My body shifted turning on the bed. I didn’t sleep. Couldn’t. My wolf wouldn’t settle, pacing beneath my skin, claws scraping against my veins. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Kael’s eyes—gray as storm cl

    RIA’s POVThe first thing I noticed was the scent of smoke. It clung to the velvet curtains, seeped into the stone walls, and burned my throat as I struggled to breathe. The room was heavy with it, mingled with the musk of wolves. Hundreds of eyes burned into me from the shadows, and all of them we
