Bound to the Alpha King The King Beneath the King
> A kingdom can survive the death of its ruler. It cannot survive discovering that its ruler was never human.The mountain split open.A deafening roar tore through the sanctuary as the marble floor cracked from end to end. Pillars collapsed. Ancient statues shattered. Silver fire erupted from the fractures, illuminating the enormous creature climbing from the darkness below.Selene could barely breathe.Caelan had one arm around her waist, dragging her backward as the floor crumbled beneath their feet."Move!"Kael stood frozen.His eyes were fixed on the thing emerging from the abyss.It had his face.His broad shoulders.His black hair.Even the old scar beneath his left eye.But it wore armor older than the kingdom itself, blackened by centuries of blood.And on its head sat a crown.Not gold.Bone.The creature climbed onto the broken marble and slowly lifted its head.Its eyes opened.They were completely silver.Kael's voice came out as a whisper."Who are you?"The creature sm
Bound to the Alpha King The Shadow That Remembered
> When the heavens look down upon a kingdom, the first thing they ask is not who rules it. They ask who lied to them.The heartbeat came again.THUM.The entire High Gallery trembled.Dust fell from the ceiling. Cracks raced across the marble floor. Somewhere beneath the mountain, something enormous shifted in its sleep.Then—THUM.Selene dropped to one knee.Her hand flew to her chest.The heartbeat wasn't coming from outside anymore.It was inside her.She could feel it beneath her ribs, beating against her own heart."Selene?"Kael's voice reached her through the darkness.She looked up.He was standing several feet away, one hand pressed against his chest.Blood trickled from his nose.But he wasn't looking at Selene.He was staring at the Woman in White.The woman's expression had changed.For the first time since she had entered the sanctuary, she looked afraid.Not of Mordain.Not of Caelan.Of Kael."No," she whispered.Kael frowned."You know me."The woman's silver eyes nar
Bound to the Alpha King The Memory Beneath the Mountain
> Some memories are buried because they are painful. Others are buried because, if remembered, they become true.The eye beneath the mountain opened.Selene stopped breathing.It was not an ordinary eye.It was larger than the entire High Gallery, silver at its center and black around the edges, staring upward through the enormous crack splitting the sanctuary apart.Kael raised his sword.Rowan stepped backward.Julian whispered a prayer he could not remember learning.Only Caelan did not move.He stared into the eye like a man looking at his executioner.Then the creature spoke.“Come home.”Selene's knees weakened.She heard the words again.Not through her ears.Inside her blood.Come home.She pressed both hands against her chest.“I know that voice.”Caelan's face tightened.“No.”Selene looked at him.“I know it.”“That's the problem.”The mountain exploded.---The FallThe floor beneath them disappeared.Kael grabbed Selene's wrist.Rowan seized Julian.Caelan reached for all
Bound to the Alpha King The Betrayer's Crown
> The cruelest lie is not the one that makes you hate your enemy. It is the one that makes you love them.“She was the first one who betrayed us.”Caelan's words hung over the High Gallery.No one breathed.Selene remained suspended above the shattered floor, silver light twisting around her body like living smoke.Kael stared at Caelan.“What did you just say?”Caelan didn't answer.Kael grabbed him by the throat.“You said she betrayed you.”“I said what happened.”“You're lying!”Kael slammed him against the marble wall.“You expect me to believe Selene destroyed everything?”Caelan's eyes remained fixed on Selene.“I expect you to believe what you see.”Kael turned.Selene was crying.Real tears.They rolled down her cheeks despite the terrifying silver light surrounding her.“Kael…”Her voice was still hers.“Please.”He released Caelan.“Selene?”She reached toward him.“Come to me.”Kael took one step.Caelan seized his arm.“Don't.”Kael ripped himself free.“She called my nam
Bound to the Alpha King The Third Still Lives
> The most dangerous person in a kingdom is not the one who knows the truth. It is the one who remembers becoming the lie.The voice inside Selene's head whispered again.I found you.She staggered backward.Kael caught her before she fell.“Selene?”She shoved him away.“Don't touch me.”Kael froze.Not because of her words.Because Selene's eyes had changed.For one brief second, they were silver.Then they returned to their normal color.Rowan drew his sword.“Everyone back.”Julian stared at Selene in horror.“Her eyes…”“I saw it,” Rowan said.Selene touched her face.“What is happening to me?”No one answered.Then the mountain screamed.The floor split open.A violent crack tore through the High Gallery, dividing the marble beneath their feet. Ancient silver light erupted from the fissure, throwing everyone backward.Kael hit a pillar.Julian fell hard.Rowan barely caught himself.And Selene disappeared.“SELENE!”Kael lunged toward the crack.Too late.The floor slammed shut.
Bound to the Alpha King The Heart Above the Sky
> When the world remembers its creator, someone must remember the lie.The heartbeat came again.Thum.The entire High Gallery trembled.Thum.Dust fell from the vaulted ceiling. Cracks raced across the marble floor beneath the feet of the surviving Guardians.Thum.This time, everyone heard something inside the sound.A whisper.Not a word.A name.Selene pressed both hands against her ears.“Make it stop.”Kael reached for her instinctively, but the moment his fingers touched her shoulder, she recoiled.Not because she feared him.Because she suddenly remembered him dying.Not once.Hundreds of times.Kael collapsing beneath a burning sky.Kael bleeding beside a frozen river.Kael kneeling before a woman in white.Kael holding a newborn child.Kael standing over her grave.Selene gasped.“You…”Kael stared at her.“What?”“You've died before.”His face went pale.Then another heartbeat struck.Thum.Kael suddenly clutched his chest.“I remember.”His voice broke.“I remember you.”S
