The lingering echoes of Asher’s public declaration still vibrated through the grand stone pillars of the Council Chamber, leaving the assembled noble elders suspended in total, breathless awe.Estrella remained rooted to the marble floor, her unique eyes wide with uncharacteristic shock. The word bride hung heavy in the crisp hall air, a golden anchor that had just rewritten her entire existence in a matter of seconds. Beside her, Commander Garrett stood stiff as an iron oak, his weathered face caught between defensive fatherly concern and military obedience.At the end of the long obsidian table, Lord Orion’s face had turned from pale chalk to a sickly, mottled grey. Sweating profusely, the disgraced lord stumbled backward on his feet, his hands shaking violently as he realized the tr
Claimed By My Mate's Uncle 22. The King's Declaration
The monumental double doors of the Grand Council Chamber groaned on their iron hinges, heavy oak swinging inward with a resounding, echoing thud that shattered the anxious murmurs inside.Silence slammed down upon the vast obsidian hall like a physical hammer. High lords, regional barons, and wealthy Northern elders froze in their carved seats along the long marble table. Torches flickered erratically against towering stone pillars, casting flickering shadows over thirty stunned faces.At the head of the chamber, standing tall before the elevated throne, was Former King Dominic. He wore simple royal dark velvet, his hands resting heavily on the carved pommel of his broadsword. His silver-streaked dark hair caught the firelight, and his piercing golden eyes swept over the rebellious council with a cold, terrifying stillness. Though corrupt lords had dared to raise their voices in Asher’s
Claimed By My Mate's Uncle 21. The Midnight Ride
Night fell over the Northern wilderness with a bitter, starry quiet. The sky overhead was a velvet tapestry of deep indigo, dusted with millions of diamond-like stars and lit by the pale silver crescent of the moon.They had mounted their warhorses and set off along the sweeping mountain trails, the rhythmic thud of hooves against hard dirt echoing through the silent forest.As the miles melted away behind them, an undeniable shift settled over the space between them. The old, prickly defenses, the rigid formality, and the sharp, defensive hostility that had defined their relationship for five long years had quietly vanished, burned away in the fires of the secluded cottage and the blood of the border tavern.Yet, in its place was a heavy, intoxicating tension that made Estrella’s pulse hammer against her ribs.Riding
Claimed By My Mate's Uncle 20. Shadows & The Interrogation
The stifling haze of pipe smoke, spilled mead, and fresh blood still hung heavy over the splintered remains of The Drunken Wyvern. Blood pooled between the stone floorboards, painting a macabre picture of the swift, brutal slaughter that had transpired in mere minutes.Asher stood amid the carnage, towering and unyielding, breathing slowly and steadily as he slid the silver viper dagger into his dark leather belt. Beside him, Estrella wiped a thin sheen of sweat from her forehead with the back of her sleeve, her eyes sweeping over the quiet tavern to ensure no hidden threats remained.The bar door slowly creaked open, and a terrified, middle-aged tavern owner poked his head out from behind the counter, shaking like a leaf in a winter gale. His face was pale as chalk, his hands trembling violently
Claimed By My Mate's Uncle 19. Steel and Blood
The mercenary captain’s roar echoed through the rafters of The Drunken Wyvern, shattering the lingering silence like a hammer on thin glass. In an instant, the tavern degenerated into pure, violent madness. Common patrons shrieked in terror, flipping tables and trampling over one another as they scrambled frantically toward the narrow front entrance to escape the coming bloodshed.The captain’s bloodshot eyes burned with pure malice as he stared down Estrella. "For years I’ve dreamed of slitting your pretty throat, you Southern bitch!" He bellowed, his voice laced with venomous fury. "You humiliated my men in the past, butchered seven of my best blades, and left me with this!" He gestured wildly to a jagged scar running along his jawline.Asher didn't wait for the rogues to make the first move. Just as Estrella pulled to
Claimed By My Mate's Uncle 18. On His Lap
The heavy oak door of The Drunken Wyvern creaked open, releasing a stale gust of sour ale, cheap pipe smoke, and roasted boar into the cool afternoon air.Asher pushed the door back just enough for Estrella to slip inside ahead of him. The tavern was bathed in a thick, amber haze, lit only by sputtering tallow candles and a dying fire in the corner. Packed shoulder-to-shoulder, the tavern was a breeding ground for rogues, cutthroats, and displaced mercenaries, a place where life was cheap, and secrets were sold to the highest bidder.Scanning the room, Asher immediately spotted an empty, dimly lit corner booth near the back. His large, calloused hand anchored against the small of Estrella’s back, guiding her through the rowdy crowd.When they reached the woode

Dominic dismounted the beast in one fluid, predatory movement. His massive hand wrapped around her arm, tugging her down with him. The moment her bare, bruised soles made contact with the freezing cobblestones of the courtyard, Rosalie's knees turned into compl

The thick, copper taste of Dominic Varkov’s blood coated Rosalie’s tongue, a metallic brand that felt like a permanent iron shackle around her soul. The ancient incantations chanted by the trembling High Priest still echoed in the freezing night air, vibrating

The silence of the clearing was deafening. Thousands of eyes were pinned on Rosalie Ashford, but she only had eyes for Prince Cassian. There was so much pain in her teary eyes as she pleaded with her eyes, but he didn't offer her a single glance.The silver threads of the mate bond were still puls
