Chains Of The Heart Chapter 62
Rowan inhaled Damian’s stabilizing scent like oxygen in a burning house—and then everything snapped.His body moved first: a sudden surge of strength, muscles coiling, alpha instinct detonating point-blank against Damian’s ribs. In one heartbeat, Damian had Rowan in his lap; in the next, Rowan pushed him, slamming him back into the cold stone floor hard enough to rattle teeth. The impact knocked the air from Damian’s lungs, but he kept his hands open, palms up—showing control, not threat.“Rowan—” Damian started.Too late.Rowan straddled him, pinning him with shaking thighs and a grip that trembled from need rather than dominance. His pupils blown wide, silver irises swallowed by feral steel. His breath hit Damian’s lips, hot and uneven, and then—the pheromones hit like a tidal wave.Not a challenge.Not seduction.A soothing release, the kind alphas only used to calm distressed mates or pups in pain. Warm, fog-soft, meant to comfort and bind. It sank into Damian’s skin like heated

Inside the room, after the door shut behind him silence lingered for all of three seconds.Then Ivy moved.She slid the bolt into place, sealing the room. With steady hands, she carried the small box to the fireplace. Removed the string. Opened it one last time—not to look, but to confirm its reality.Her jaw clenched.No tears.She tipped the ear into the flames.A faint hiss, a curl of smoke, the soft pop of burning flesh — and the proof of Rowan’s suffering vanished into ash.Ivy stood over the fire until every trace was gone.Then she turned, voice cold steel wrapped in silk.“You. Guard.”The soldier outside entered immediately. A man in his late thirties, scarred from war, loyal to Maria’s bloodline rather than Seraphine’s poisonous branch. He bowed to her — not as a child, but as someone stepping into authority he chose to respect.“Lady Ivy.”“You will find every man, soldier, servant or officer who served directly under Seraphine,” Ivy said, her voice shockingly calm for a gi
Chains Of The Heart Chapter 60
The world swayed around Rowan like a fever dream.Nathan’s scent — or what his ruined mind needed to believe was Nathan — wrapped around him like a lifeline. He clung to it, breathed it in, desperate to anchor himself to something that wasn’t pain or shame or the fire tearing through his veins.But the longer he inhaled, the more the illusion… frayed.He expected warmth. Gentleness. The quiet, steady pulse of home.But this scent… underneath the familiar thread… was cold steel. Command. Power. A king’s scent. A predator’s.Not Nathan.His fingers twitched. Not in aggression — in realization.No.No, no, no—The fog in his head thinned just enough for reason to force its way through like glass digging into skin. The shape holding him resolved into sharp lines, darker scent, broader shoulders.Not Nathan.Damian.Rowan went utterly still.A soft, broken sound slipped out of him — not feral, not angry — something much smaller. Like the muted sound of someone folding in on themselves. His

When the ground bucked, it hurled Alistair into Silas before either could react. Torches dropped. Stone groaned like an ancient beast waking.Silas caught Alistair’s arm, dragging him back as the tunnel behind them caved in with a deafening crash—stone swallowing the path they’d taken only moments earlier.A cloud of dust and powdered rock blasted into them, stealing breath and sight.Alistair’s heart slammed into his ribs. The map he’d memorized—useless now. The maze had changed shape. The explosion hadn’t just opened a path—it had destroyed half of them.“We need to reach the center!” Alistair barked, forcing his voice steady despite panic clawing at his throat. “There should be an access corridor—right side—if it’s still intact!”They sprinted forward, boots slipping on shattered stone. Another section of tunnel groaned overhead.“Move!” Silas shoved Alistair ahead just as a beam fell, slamming where Silas had stood half a heartbeat before.Their path narrowed. Smoke thickened. The

For a horrifying second, Damian couldn’t breathe.His vision flickered. The tunnels tilted—too narrow, too dark, too slow—and Rowan was burning alive in his mind, forced into rut, drowning in instinct and shame and pain he didn’t understand.Nathan felt it too—through him. And on his own.If Damian failed, Nathan would shatter.His lungs refused to pull in air properly. He dragged a hand over his face, pushing back the panic threatening to claw up his throat.Get up. Stand. Move.He forced his spine straight. Forced his voice steady. Forced himself to be the king Nathan needed—because if Nathan was somewhere shaking apart under the weight of Rowan’s agony, then Damian had no right to crumble.“For Nathan’s sake,” he muttered, barely audible. “This is the least I can do.”He marched forward, jaw locked so tight it ached. The guards followed him.They reached a dead end—or what looked like one. A forged-steel door reinforced with iron bands and glyph-etched plates blocked the way. Old m
Chains Of The Heart Chapter 57
Nathan surfaced from the drugged darkness like a drowning man breaking through ice.No slow return. No gentle drift into consciousness.His mind violently snapped awake—because something was wrong. Wrong in a way that his soul recognized before his thoughts could catch up.Rowan.His lungs seized. The bond—thin, frayed, barely clinging—flared. Not with comfort, not with recognition… but with panic.And shame.A choked sound tore out of him, half-breath, half-animal. His fingers clawed at the blanket as if he could hold himself to the world by force alone. The room tilted, then lurched.He felt Rowan slipping.Not fading like a dying ember.Slipping. Dragged somewhere he didn’t want to go.“Nathan?” Ivy’s voice was soft, cautious, but threaded with fear. She edged closer, her small hand hovering by his arm, afraid to touch, afraid not to.He couldn’t answer. Words weren’t built for this kind of pain.Rowan’s terror hit him first—sharp, breathless, chaotic.Then came the second wave. Th
