The healer remained in the corner of the cold chamber, her knees drawn tight to her chest, arms wrapped around them. Darian’s lifeless body still lay where it had fallen the night before, the chains still binding his wrists and ankles, though they no longer held purpose. His glassy eyes stared at the ceiling, blood vessels burst red around the corneas, frozen in an eternal echo of agony.

Her tears had long dried, leaving dark trails on her cheeks, but her chest ached as though they were still falling. She had not moved. She had not slept. She could only sit there, silent, as the sounds of laughter and feasting from the assassins the night before had died away, replaced now with the muted steps of soldiers and the whispers of departure.

It was morning.

Kaelthorn stood tall before the Assassin Leader in the main hall. His cloak hung from his broad shoulders, dark and stained, his scarred arms bare to the morning light. The Assassin Leader lounged on his throne, one hand curled against h

  • Bonded To The Alpha God of War    When the Feast Became Their First Dance

    The moment Anana entered Lucien’s chambers, her breath hitched at the sight.The room was vast, its dark stone walls flickered with the lamp light. At the center stood Lucien, tall and commanding, his presence like a shadow cut from power itself.At the sound of her arrival, he clapped his hands once. Six maids entered, three on each side, each carrying gowns so exquisite they seemed made from moonlight and jewels.Anana’s lips parted in shock.Lucien’s voice rumbled deep and smooth. “I find myself… indecisive. I wish to see you in a gown that will capture your beauty as it deserves. The festival is tomorrow, and none of these seemed worthy… not until you choose.”Her heart warmed at the thought that he cared enough to struggle with such a decision. She stepped forward, letting her fingers trail across silks of emerald, gold, red, until her eyes fixed on one dress that seemed to hum with her spirit. Gently, she touched it.Lucien clapped again. The chosen dress was folded with reveren

    The night had fully draped itself across the sky by the time Anana and Lucien rode back to the fortress on his black stallion. The heavens were scattered with silver stars, their faint light glittering like scattered diamonds. Their clothes still clung damply to their skin from the waterfall, and the chill of the night breeze made the warmth of each other’s nearness feel almost intoxicating.Lucien was the first to dismount, his boots striking the ground with quiet strength. His hands immediately rose to hold Anana as he guided her down, his palms firm around her waist. She descended slowly, her gown brushing against him as her feet touched the earth. Yet his hands did not leave her instantly… there was something magnetic in the way he held her, as if him letting go would cost him more than he cared to admit.They stood close, only the silence of the night between them. The fortress loomed behind, its lamps casting flickers of gold against stone walls, but in that moment it felt as th

  • Bonded To The Alpha God of War    The Cliff of Memories, The Vow of Love

    “Lucien!”He dove in after her, the water exploding around his massive frame. The splash echoed against the cliffs as he emerged, pulling her against his chest with one single move.Her palms smacked playfully against his shoulder, laughter spilling. “You pushed me!”And then… something happened.For the first time since she’d met him, Lucien smiled. Not a smirk, not the cruel grin of a warlord hiding fire behind ice. No, this was unguarded… it was open, startlingly beautiful. His lips curved into something raw, almost boyish, and for one suspended moment, it stripped the God-like presence from him and revealed the man beneath.Anana froze… For a moment, she thought she had imagined it. But no… it was real. Her eyes widened as her heart stuttered.“Wait… did you just smile?”Lucien’s lips twitched, trying to school his expression, but the warmth still lingered in his eyes. His mouth pressed into a thin line, denial at it. “No.”Her laughter broke free again, brighter than the waterfal

  • Bonded To The Alpha God of War    The Dawn of Us

    The day was bright, the sun spilling golden rays into Anana’s room, bathing her lavender gown in soft light. She sat before her mirror, slowly brushing through her long dark hair. Each stroke was calm and thoughtful, even though her mind was caught in fragments of dreams and lingering sensations she could not quite name.A soft knock drew her from her thoughts. It was not heavy, nor commanding… so it couldn’t be Lucien. Her brows knit slightly as she set the brush aside.When she opened the door, a maid stood there, head bowed, holding a carefully wrapped bundle. A dress, boots and a folded letter atop them.“This is from Alpha Lucien,” the maid said respectfully, extending the package.Anana blinked, surprised. She accepted it with gentle hands, murmuring, “Thank you.” The maid bowed once more before retreating down the hall.Closing the door, Anana placed the dress and boots on her bed, but her eyes were already drawn to the letter. Her heart quickened as she opened it, smoothing th

    The first thing that woke Anana was not the rays streaming in through the tall windows of her room, but the soft ache in her body. It was the ache of being claimed, marked not by fang or claw but by Lucien’s relentless touch. Her hand moved lazily over the sheets, searching instinctively for the hard, sculpted wall of Lucien’s chest, the warmth of his skin yet all she found was cool linen.Her brows knit together as her eyes fluttered open. The space beside her was empty.Disappointment flickered across her face, soft but deep. He was gone. No trace of his heavy breath in her ear, no weight of his arm over her waist, no blue eyes watching her wake.She lay still for a moment, the silence wrapping around her, until the memory of last night struck like a storm.Her breath hitched. Heat washed through her, flooding her cheeks, running down her neck. She dragged the sheet over her face with both hands, muffling a girlish giggle that spilled from her lips despite herself. We… We really di

    She gasped heavily, the sound breaking into a cry as her nails raked across the hard planes of his back. The fullness of him inside her stole her breath, the raw stretch of his body claiming hers so completely that tears burned in her eyes. It was too much, it was overwhelming and yet, beneath the shock pulsed a dark, intoxicating ecstasy.Lucien stilled for a moment, his chest heaving against hers, muscles taut as though he wrestled his own beast for control. His breath came rough, hot against her ear, his restraint trembling on a knife’s edge.Then he moved.Slow at first, each thrust sinking so deep she whimpered, the sound trembling with need. The drag of him inside her made her shudder, her thighs widening apart to let his fullness in.But restraint could not last. His pace shifted, faster, harder… his hips driving into hers with relentless force, the impact resounding in the wet, sinful slap of skin against skin. Every stroke tore another sound from her lips: a broken moan, a de
