The scent of blood and power hung heavy in the air. I floated through the garden like a specter, in fast, striking hard.

Jackson didn't have time to blink before my fist hit his ribcage, and he reeled back into the stone table. His wine glass shattered against it, crimson liquid spreading across the ground like blood.

He coughed, rolling onto his side, but I didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. I launched myself at him again, claws extended—

A shock of energy struck my side.

I was knocked back, crashing through a stone pillar before I landed on the ground with a grunt. Fire coursed through me, but I didn't have time to register it. I leapt up onto my feet as Adrian appeared in front of me, fangs bared.

“You’re either stupid or desperate,” he hissed. “Attacking us here?”

I wiped blood from my mouth and grinned. “A little of both.”

Jermaine and Jaden were already flanking me, their wolves prowling just beneath the surface. Aurora stood behind them, golden

    Audacus I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be begging. Not in this life or the last. And yet, here I was—drenched in pride I could no longer afford to keep, knocking on gates that had opened to me in silence before. "We do not open our gates to ghosts," the gatekeeper of the Seraphim Mountains said, not even bothering to look down at me. "I'm not a ghost," I said to him. "You walk like one." The gates remained shut. My name, once spoken in awe, was whispered now only in corners of fear or disgust. Hailey had managed that. Her rise was my downfall. Her power, a shadow that now stood taller than even the oldest alliances I'd thought sacred. I left the mountains with wind whipping at my cloak and no answers. "Bastards," I muttered. Desperation tastes bitter. It coats the back of your throat like bile and rests at the back of your eyes, tightening your jaw when pride insists you scream instead. The Dune Empire was the second I auditioned for. Dry, gold, and infested with

  • ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 263: MATING CEREMONY

    HAILEY I always knew the day would come when I'd have to let her go; still, no amount of prophecy or preparation readies a mother to say goodbye to her child, even if it was a child conceived via your seed without your knowledge. The sun had barely breached the horizon when I woke. The sky was soft and pale, a quiet blush before the burn of goodbye. I stood in the castle’s eastern garden, fingers buried in the hem of my robe, staring out over the mist-covered valley. I could feel her before I heard her footsteps. Akasha....I didn’t turn. Not yet. I needed a moment to breathe. My heart had been too full for days; I knew this day would come. And now it has. "Mother?" Her voice was soft behind me. I turned slowly. She looked radiant, hair swept back into golden braids, the ceremonial silks of the mating rite wrapped around her shoulders. The mark of her lineage burnt faintly on her collarbone. She looked both young and ancient, a young version of myself and a replica of Turte

    AKASHAI exhale as Jaden exits me, telling me to take care. Everyone has been really supportive, especially Mother, but I'm not doing great today; I curl up in pain as he shuts the door.The scent of wildfire clung to my skin, but it wasn't smoke. It was my excess longing for my mates.My hands trembled as I gripped the bedspread edge in the middle of the room. Moonlight poured through the arched window, striping silver along my bare arms. The fire in the hearth cracked, but it only added to the fluid pull in my core."Akasha…"Virgo's voice, low and deep, rough along the edge of control. I turned slowly to him, my pupils expanding, the wolf inside me ripping its way to the forefront, pleading for touch, claiming.I knew the scent that had brought them here. My heat had come—and it hadn't asked permission.Lucian walked closely behind him, completely shirtless. Eyes as dark as an eclipse devouring the stars. He didn't speak. He didn't have to.They felt it too.I held my breath when V

  • ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 260: ALLIES

    AUDACUS I arrived at the border of the Bear Kingdom with a sour taste in my mouth and bare murder in my bones. The air was filled with pine and river rock, and beneath that, something darker—a scent I knew intimately. Power. The bears had a new king, and I needed him. Or, rather, I needed his army. His brawn. His blind, paw-swinging rage. The border guards smelt me out before cautiously approaching, spear at the ready, nostrils flaring. "Announce your name and business, stranger." "Audacus", I answered curtly, devoid of respect. "I seek an audience with your king." The second guard leaned into the first, whispering, "That's the rogue king. The fallen one." "I haven't fallen," I snarled. "I've just switched sides. Now move, or I'll tear your fur off in clumps." They exchanged a glance, then gestured me through the mountain pass. It took them twenty minutes to lead me to the heart of the kingdom—a rock fortress cut into the cliffs, where the roars of training warrior

  • ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 259: MAKE UP

    HAILEY The world was finally still and peaceful. No crashing waves. No howling winds. No screams of war or grief. Just the quiet rustle of trees brushing in the night breeze and the low, steady beat of my heart.We had survived another clash with an unwanted roach. Barely. Leviathan was gone, dissolved into sea mist and memory, and yet the ache of everything still pressed into my bones like frost.I stood at the balcony of the guest chamber they’d secured for me. My people were still gathering the wounded. Ryan had sent Logan, Jermaine, and Jackson back to the main court to debrief the elders. He said he needed a moment. We both did. Jaden had finally put Akasha to sleep with the triplets continuously watching over her nervously.The door opened behind me."I should’ve known you’d come out here and freeze instead of resting," Ryan said.I didn’t turn. "I like the cold."His footsteps padded across the room until his arms slid around my waist from behind. He didn’t say anything. Just
