last update Fecha de publicación: 2026-11-04 16:04:21

The heavy canvas of the command tent shuddered as cold pine gusts scraped against the Northern border, carrying the damp, metallic scent of approaching snow.

Inside, the atmosphere was suffocating. A thick oak war table sat at the center, its surface covered in parchment maps of the Northern mountain passes, weighted down by silver daggers and ink-stained stones. Assembled beneath the dim, flickering lanterns were Former King Dominic,

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   39. The Missing King

    Dawn broke over the Northern border camp in a cold, hazy wash of gray light. Frost coated the heavy canvas tents, and the distant howl of mountain winds signaled the worsening weather rolling in from the icy peaks.Inside the royal command tent, Estrella stirred under her heavy fur blankets. The feverish burn in her veins had receded just enough to allow her consciousness to stabilize. Her heterochromatic eyes opened slowly, blinking against the pale morning light filtering through the thick fabric.Through the newly forged mate-bond in her chest, she felt a strange, terrifying sensation, an empty, echoing silence where Asher’s fierce, protective warmth usually hummed.Her heart gave a violent thud against her ribs."Asher?" Estrella rasped, her voice weak and dry.She pushed the heavy furs

    The heavy canvas of the command tent shuddered as cold pine gusts scraped against the Northern border, carrying the damp, metallic scent of approaching snow.Inside, the atmosphere was suffocating. A thick oak war table sat at the center, its surface covered in parchment maps of the Northern mountain passes, weighted down by silver daggers and ink-stained stones. Assembled beneath the dim, flickering lanterns were Former King Dominic, Commander Garrett, Scholar Killan, Alpha Eldric, and Witch Morana.At the head of the table stood King Asher. His broad, bare chest was wrapped in fresh white bandages, his dark golden eyes fixed on the strategic lines drawn across the parchment.Suddenly, the tent flap was thrust aside. A Northern scout burst inside, his heavy leather armor dusted with frost, his face white as chalk and drenched in sweat. He fell to one knee, bre

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   37. The Retreat

    The air in the obsidian courtyard tasted of ozone, ash, and dying iron.Pinned against the stone wall by thick, writhing tendrils of black magic, King Asher thrashed against his bonds. His Alpha eyes blazed like twin suns of golden fire, but the shadow magic wrapped around his chest and sword-arm only tightened, threatening to crush his ribs. Beside him, Former King Dominic bled heavily from a gouge in his side, Commander Garrett was suspended in mid-air by liquid shadow, and Alpha Eldric lay impaled on the frozen stone.At Asher’s feet, Estrella gasped for air, dark veins of black magic pulsing violently along her neck. Blood trickled from her lips, staining the pale stone beneath her.Hovering just inches away, the Demonic Witch rested her dark-scaled claw beneath Asher’s chin, her sulfur eyes glowing with triumphant, cruel delight.

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   36. Dying

    The narrow, winding stone stairwell exploded into a chaotic meat-grinder of screaming steel, snapping jawbones, and blinding violet sparks.Lunging down the steps, the six-legged shadow chimeras moved with horrifying, unnatural speed. Their skeletal frames clattered against the stone walls, their obsidian claws gouging deep trenches into the masonry as they rained down upon Estrella and Scholar Killan."Behind you!" Killan yelled, thrusting Morana’s runed dagger straight through the throat of a leaping war-hound. The beast shrieked, dissolving into black ash, but two more chimeras immediately leapt over the disintegrating corpse, their dripping jaws snapping for his face.Estrella stepped into the line of fire.Even weakened, her movements were governed by years of ruthless military muscle memory. She pivoted on her heel,

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   35. The War

    The air inside the subterranean obsidian castle was thick with the stench of ancient rot, blood, and ozone.Bound tightly to the central stone pillar, Estrella stood paralyzed as a dozen monstrous, shadow-infused wild wolves circled her feet. Their glowing red eyes burned through the gloom, their wet, razor-sharp fangs snapping inches from her bare legs. Every time she tried to channel her inner strength to force her werewolf transformation, the dormant dark-gold curse over her collarbone flared into agonizing black lightning, burning her veins and locking her in her weakened human state.Suddenly, the lead shadow wolf’s growl was cut short.Without warning, a clean, silent tear opened in thin air beside the beast. A silver, rune-engraved dagger materialized out of nothingness, slicing straight through the monster's throat in a single, fluid stroke. Black

  • Claimed By My Mate's Uncle   34. The Obsidian Attack

    The desolate frontier of the Western Wastes stretched out like an endless graveyard of dark stone, cracked earth, and ancient ashes. A suffocating, unnatural gloom hung heavy over the barren expanse, suppressing even the bite of the freezing mountain wind. Above, the sky was a bruised, dark violet, and the pale moon hung suspended like a cold, silver eye watching the doomed land below.At the edge of this frozen wasteland stood the joint strike force of the Northern and Southern realms. Thousands of heavily armored warriors stood in disciplined, silent ranks across the frostbitten ridges. More than half of Asher’s grand army stood transformed into their massive, fearsome werewolf forms, silver-furred, muscular frames trembling with restrained feral aggression, sharp fangs gleaming under the pale moonlight as white plumes of breath billowed from their snarling muzzles. The remaining half, elite archers, vanguard knights,

    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
