JERMAINE

There was something about the struggle that lingered in the air long after the final enemy fell. A weight, a thrum of residual power that clung to the soul like an ethereal resonance of the dead.

Though Thomas's dying breath was swallowed by silence, I could sense him.

Or his shadow.

His anger.

His desperation.

His defeat.

I leaned against the broken trellis, chest heaving, heart still racing from the battle. The garden rested in shambles—blossoms shattered beneath heavy heel marks, the smoldering scorch scars of Isaiah's and Kael's fury staining the once spotless paths. Death and potency clung in the air, but what had me unsettled the most was the icy stillness that came after.

Jackson was cleaning blood from his sword, face unemotional. Jaden was still standing at the ready, golden eyes scanning the area, refusing to believe that it was truly finished.

Our father was standing in the center, shoulders locked, staring down at the spot where Thomas once was.

  • 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

    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

  • ALPHA'S REGRET, QUEEN'S REVENGE   CHAPTER 258: ENOUGH!

    RYAN The wind cut sharp and cold across the bridge as we rode, the scent of mountain pine and frost thick in the air. My horse grunted beneath me, breath steaming in the early dawn chill. Logan was ahead, scouting with that ever-watchful gaze of his, while Jackson and Jermaine flanked either side of me like twin wolves. We weren’t just riding for the fun of it—we were riding for peace. The whole kingdom has been thrown into a state of utter chaos and confusion, leaving us all with a handful of more responsibilities. For once, Hailey had managed to convince the fractured clans to even consider sitting at the same table. That alone felt like pulling teeth from a dragon. Of course, it never lasts. It began with a shift in the wind. A crackle. Then a chill, deeper than frostbite, settled on my spine. "Hold up," I said. Logan was already raising his hand from the cliff's edge. "Something's wrong." Jermaine drew his sword. "We're being watched," Jackson muttered. I had one second—j
