Remi POV

"You're going to get us killed."

"I haven't done anything yet."

"Exactly." Bram didn't slow down. "You're already walking like you're looking for something. Chin up, shoulders tight, eyes moving too fast." He glanced at me sideways. "You look like someone who lost something and wants it back."

"I did lose something. My husband."

"I know. The entire market doesn't need to."

I forced my shoulders down. Slowed my pace to match his. Tried to look like someone who came to a rogue market in

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 149: Nero Was Right

    Bram POvvThe cabin was quiet under the late-night sky. Only the occasional creak of settling wood and the distant hoot of an owl broke the silence. Remi had finally fallen asleep after hours of quiet tears, the letter from Kade clutched to her chest and Piper’s drawing tucked beneath her pillow.His gaze kept drifting toward the half-open cabin door. Through the gap he could see her silhouette on the narrow cot—curled on her side, one hand still loosely holding the folded letter even in sleep. Moonlight caught the dried tear tracks on her cheek. She looked smaller somehow. More fragile than the fierce woman who had trained until her hands bled or laughed with village children earlier that day.He stood halfway, an instinctive pull drawing him toward the doorway. He wanted to go inside, gently pry the letter from her fingers, maybe brush the hair from her face. Protect her from the ache, even if just for one night. His hand reached for the doorframe.Then he stopped himself cold, fis

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 148: The Wedding at Moonstone 2

    Kade POVKade met her gaze evenly. “Mother. Not tonight.”She ignored him, turning slightly toward the guests. “My eldest son abandoned his duties to chase ghosts with criminals. And now my second son stands here, binding himself in marriage while the throne sits empty and the Chimera sharpens its claws at our borders.” Her eyes flicked to Damon with thinly veiled disapproval. “A fine union, I’m sure. But one built on absence and excuses.”Damon stiffened beside Kade, but Kade stepped forward, voice low and sharp.“Nero did not abandon us. He is fighting for all of us — so we can survive what’s coming. You know that. Everyone here knows that.”Anatoria’s smile was thin and brittle. “Do they? Or do they see a king who left his blood to carry the weight while he plays hero elsewhere? You may represent him on that altar, Kade, but representation is not rule. The packs are whispering. The elders are watching. If your brother does not return soon, the throne may forget who it belongs to.”

    Kade POV — the Moonstone PalaceThe flowers were slightly crooked.Little Piper had been walking down the aisle for forty seconds and had already made three stops to show people her basket, redistribute petals, and wave at the elder council with enough enthusiasm that Elder Maro had looked genuinely alarmed.Kade watched her from the altar and kept his face very neutral.Damon, beside him, was trying not to smile.Failing."The elder with the long coat looks like he's reconsidering attendance." Damon said, not moving his mouth much."He's been reconsidering this wedding since it was announced. Piper has nothing to do with it." Kade said.Piper arrived at the front, looked at her basket, looked at the floor where she'd apparently decided petals were supposed to go, and dumped the remaining half of them in one concentrated area directly in front of the altar.Then she looked up at Kade with the satisfied expression of a job completed."I did the flowers," she said."You did the flowers

    Remi POVRemi’s fingers trembled slightly as she accepted the sealed letter from the guard at the bustling market stall. The man nodded once, his expression guarded, before melting back into the crowd. Gemma and Bram waited a few paces away, haggling over dried herbs, but Remi stepped aside, heart already pounding. The wax seal bore Kade’s mark—two wolves intertwined beneath a crescent moon. It was addressed to Nero."Good news or bad," Bram said."Both," I said. "Kade's letter. Addressed to Nero.""Will you read it?""He's chained in a field." I looked at Bram. "I think he'd allow it."She broke the seal anyway. Reality snapped back like a bowstring the moment her eyes scanned the familiar handwriting.Brother,I hope this finds you breathing and still swinging that stubborn temper of yours. Things here are holding, but the weight grows heavier each day. The palace corridors feel longer without your roar echoing through them. Abel sends his regards—along with his usual filthy jok

    At first light“Down here—fresh tracks,” Nero said, his voice low and steady as he held the lantern high. The flame flickered against the damp stone walls of the condemned shaft, casting long shadows that danced like specters. The air was thick with coal dust and the faint, metallic tang of fear. “They dragged someone this way not long ago. Look at the scuff marks. Smaller feet. Could be the girl.”Drift grunted from behind him, axe gripped tight. “Keep moving, then. We’ve been crawling through these rat holes for hours. If Voss’s daughter is still breathing, she won’t be for long if we dawdle.”Caya scanned the side passage they had forced open earlier. “The silk scrap matches what Voss described.. We’re close. Rook, watch the rear. No surprises.”Rook muttered, “This place feels wrong. Too quiet. Like the mines swallowed the screams already.”Nero led the way deeper, muscles coiled beneath his loose chains. He had studied Rook’s technique when the man had unlocked him back at camp—

  • Accidentally Fell For My Ex's Uncle. The Dark Alpha   Chapter 144 — The Mining Town

    Nero POV“Move out!” Drift barked as Nero and Caya emerged from the tree line. The Rabid Saints were already breaking camp , packing tents and loading gear onto sturdy mules. Dust hung in the air from their hurried movements. “We’ve wasted enough time. Caya, you said this job pays heavy. Start talking details while we ride.”Nero rolled his shoulders, still savoring the freedom from the chains. The refreshing bath had done more than clean his body; it had sharpened his mind. Remi’s memory lingered like a warm ember, and the secret he now held over Caya felt like a blade hidden in his boot. He kept his face neutral, but the satisfaction simmered beneath the surface.Caya shot him a quick, warning glance before addressing the group. “Rich lord in a mining town called Blackvein, His daughter, Elara, was taken three weeks ago. Kidnapped from their estate. He’s offering a fat purse—gold, gems, and a bonus if we bring her back breathing. Smugglers took her. People have been vanishing from
