NERO POV

"She's still not back."

Kade stood in my doorway. He was looking nervous.

"I know," I said.

"The alphas are still waiting. In the throne room."

"Fuck." I pulled on my shirt. "Tell them I'll be there in ten minutes."

"They've been waiting since dawn—"

"Then they can wait ten more minutes." I grabbed my jacket. "After this, I'm getting her. Whether she wants to come back or not."

Kade raised an eyebrow. "You're going to drag your runaway bride back by force?"

"If I have to."

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 223 — You've Been Doing It Wrong

    Nero POVI was still thinking about the dwarfs when sleep finally caught up with me.Remi was lying beside me, She had been talking for the last few minutes about Manuel, “You're not listening to me,” she murmured.“I am.”My eyes grew heavy. The last thing I remembered was drifting off. Then I was somewhere else.I stood in the middle of a forest beneath a pale, unfamiliar sky. Tall trees surrounded me, their branches twisting overhead, and a narrow path stretched between them. There was no wind, no birds, no sound at all.I looked down at myself. No wounds. No blood. No sign of the bed I'd just been lying in.“Wonderful,” I muttered. “A dream.”“Look at you. Still complaining before you've even figured out where you are.”I turned sharply.Future Remi stood a few feet away, leaning against a tree with her arms folded. She looked exactly as I remembered her from the dreams she'd visited me in before, wearing that infuriating little smile that always made me wonder whether she knew so

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 222 — Wake Up Nero

    Remi POvI sat up a little straighter. “How was she?”“Not well.”My smile faded. “What do you mean?”“She was weaker than when I last saw her. She could barely stand, and her wolf seems to be fading.”“Could it be because she's been imprisoned for so long?”“That was my first thought, but I don't think that's all it is.”I remembered how strong Anatoria had been during the challenge. There had been moments when I couldn't understand how she moved so quickly or how she managed to withstand blows that should have forced her to retreat.“What are you thinking?” I asked.“I suspect Anatoria did something to Victoria.”My stomach tightened. “You think she hurt her?”“I think she took something from her. I'm not certain what happened, but Victoria said something that made me believe she knew exactly where Anatoria's new strength came from.”“What did she say?”Nero's jaw tightened. “She said, 'With all that power, she still lost.' When I asked her what she meant, she became frightened and

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 221 — The Things He Couldn't Say

    Remi POVBy the time Nero finally agreed to leave the celebration, I had begun to suspect he was enjoying himself far too much.“You know,” I said as we stepped into the corridor, “for someone who complained about the noise, you spent an awful lot of time arguing with Damon over which one of you was the better dancer.”Nero glanced down at me. “I was correcting a man who had clearly lost touch with reality.”“You lost a fight with your own feet.”“I allowed him to win.”“Of course. And I suppose you let me step on your foot three times because you were being generous?”His mouth twitched. “Four times.”I stopped walking. “You counted?”“I was considering whether to have the floor repaired afterward.”I shoved his arm, and his laughter followed us down the corridor. It was a good sound, one I wished I could bottle and keep for the days when the world became too ugly for either of us to bear. For a little while, we had been surrounded by familiar faces, warm food, and people who wanted

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 220 — You Little Thief

    Caya Pov ContinuedI stayed hidden, trying to understand what I was seeing. Then one of the dwarfs moved aside, revealing a narrow fissure beneath the creature's body.Blue light shone from inside it.My heart gave a hard kick.No.I leaned forward, barely daring to breathe.The glow was unmistakable. I had seen that color in the old carvings and markings associated with Moonstone.The missing half.They had found it.All this time, I had assumed the dwarfs were still searching. I hadn't known they were this close. I hadn't known the stone was even here.Now I understood why they had been guarding the mountain so carefully.They weren't looking for the Moonstone anymore.They were trying to get it out.“Another inch,” the leader ordered. “Slowly. If you damage the stone, I'll have your hands.”“Maybe we should wait until we know what we're dealing with,” a younger dwarf said.The leader turned on him. “We've been digging toward this thing for weeks. We're not stopping now because you'

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 219— It’s My Turn

    Caya’s POV“You didn’t even notice she was gone?”I stopped outside the celebration hall when I heard the question.I knew that voice. Remi.Nero replied. “I assumed she wanted to rest.”That was it. No questions. No concern. Not even a thought about where I might have gone.I stood there for another moment, listening to the laughter coming from inside. Someone called for more wine, and a Little girl shouted something that made the entire room laugh.Remi was celebrating with her husband, and Nero was perfectly happy without me.I should have been used to it by now.Instead, it irritated me more than it should have.“Pathetic,” I muttered, turning away. I wasn't sure whether I meant Nero, Anatoria, or myself.Anatoria's voice had followed me all the way from the inn.You have no place beside Nero. You're useful only when you do what others need.I pulled my cloak tighter around my shoulders.I was done being stupid.If Anatoria's plan with Chimera succeeded, I could end up trapped bet

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 218 — Dinner Celebration

    Remi POV at The Celebration Dinner“Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked.Nero didn't answer immediately. He was standing beside the long dining table with a glass in his hand, and for several seconds he simply looked at me as though he had forgotten everyone else in the room. I stopped near the doorway, suddenly unsure of myself. I had spent so many weeks wearing clothes that were torn, dirty, or chosen because they were the easiest things to fight in that I wasn't used to this. The dress felt strange against my skin, soft and clean, and my hair had been done properly for the first time in what felt like forever. I had even spent a few minutes staring at myself in the mirror before coming downstairs because I almost didn't recognize the woman looking back at me. Nero finally set his glass down and walked toward me. “Because you're beautiful,” he said. I smiled. “That's all?” He stopped in front of me. “If I tell you everything I'm thinking, we might not make it to dinne
