Asher’s fingers closed around the cool crystal glass, but he didn't drink. His gaze remained locked on Estrella, the wild, blinding glow in his golden eyes slowly fading back into their usual dark metallic amber. The phantom chill of the nightmare still clung to his skin, but the panic in his chest receded the moment he looked at her.

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   27. Cuddles

    Asher’s fingers closed around the cool crystal glass, but he didn't drink. His gaze remained locked on Estrella, the wild, blinding glow in his golden eyes slowly fading back into their usual dark metallic amber. The phantom chill of the nightmare still clung to his skin, but the panic in his chest receded the moment he looked at her. She looked a bit disheveled, chest still heaving from the sudden rush, holding out water as if she were guarding him against the entire world."You are sleepy?" Asher rasped, his voice still rough and strained from the nightmare, though a faint, wicked ghost of a smirk touched the corner of his lips.Estrella blinked, looking down at her leather tunic and armored bracers. A defensive flush crept up her neck, though she quickly masked it behind her usual sharp glare. Yes, she was dozing off on her duty."I

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   26. Shadows Over the West

    The echoing silence following their explosive kiss hung thick in the cold, glass-strewn bedchamber.Asher slowly broke the contact, his forehead resting against Estrella’s as their heavy, ragged breathing mingled in the dim firelight. Her cheeks were flushed crimson, her lips swollen and trembling slightly. The fierce, unyielding commander who had commanded armies and guarded her heart with iron walls stood before him, her defenses completely shattered into ash.Reaching down into the shadows near the hearth, Asher picked up the heavy gold signet ring that had slipped from her thumb during the fight. He didn't force the oversized band back onto her hand. Instead, he unknotted a thin, sturdy leather cord from his belt, threaded it through the royal ring, and stepped into her personal space.Estrella froze, her breath catching in her throat. Her eyes wide w

    The metallic scrape inside the King’s bedchamber was instantly followed by the heavy, sickening thud of a body hitting stone.Outside in the corridor, Estrella’s instincts fired before her mind could even process the sound. Her hand lashed down to the hilt of her longsword, steel singing as she drew her blade in a single, fluid arc."Your Grace!"Estrella slammed her boot violently against the latch. The massive oak double doors swung inward with a deafening bang, crashing against the interior walls.The scene inside was pure, frantic chaos. The high arched balcony doors had been shattered to splinters, icy mountain wind howling into the room and scattering lit coals across the fur rugs. Four heavily armored shadow assassins with viper crests on their clothes, Orion’s elite black-mask loyalists, desperate to st

    The heavy stone corridor leading to the King’s private wing was suffocatingly quiet. The rhythm of their footsteps echoed off the cold masonry; Asher’s slow, deliberate stride matched against Estrella’s sharp, agitated pace.She walked half a step behind him, her gaze burning holes into his broad, armored back. But every time her eyes dipped lower, they caught the dull gleam of dark gold resting ridiculously on her right thumb. The ancient signet ring was far too heavy, its oversized edges digging into her knuckle with every step, a constant, mocking reminder of the stunt he had pulled in front of the entire High Council.Her mind reeled in a tempest of fury and humiliated pride. He had backed her father into a corner. He had used former King Dominic’s authority to silence any objection Garrett might have raised. And worst of all, he had publicly branded her his bride w

    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

    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
