Chapter 14: Blood and Broken Glass

AVELINE

Six thirty in the fucking morning.

I stared at my reflection in the small mirror they'd provided, and honestly, I looked like death itself. I quickly put on my wear after a quick shower. It was a short black gown with a white tusk drape around it, the gown barely covering my knees. I tugged at it slowly, hoping it would come down even a bit.

It was a maid's uniform, and again, for the first time, I was happy Lily wasn't here. She would laugh so badly and remind me again that all I was good at was cleaning up after people's messes.

I sighed at the thought, reminding myself that this was better than being in Duskfall.

The castle was still sleeping when I crept through its corridors at six-fifty in the morning. My footsteps made low, soft echoes against the stone floors, and I felt like there were shadows following me, making it look more intimidating than it should.

Those claw marks I had seen the previous night had been in my dreams all night,

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Card

    Chapter 25: The CardAVELINEIt's been almost a week since my meeting with Elder Amelia, and I still hadn't seen Thorne. Not even a glimpse of him in the villa corridors or training grounds. It was like he'd disappeared completely, leaving me to wonder if he was avoiding me or if I was just invisible to him.Maybe he was now taking his word seriously about not crossing my path and showing how much he hated me.I'd been attending the academy, but this time for leadership training instead of combat. Learning about pack politics, economics, and diplomatic relations. Things that made my head spin but were apparently essential for a future Luna. Syra wasn't in these classes, thank the goddess, which made my days bearable.Today was different, though. Today was the day before the charity ball at the Blood Moon Pack, and I was terrified. After the encounter with Amelia, I couldn't sleep properly. I kept turning around in bed all night long, and the mark where my former mate had marked me was

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Blaming a Monster

    Chapter 24: Blaming a MonsterAVELINE"Hatred and pain often look the same, dear. I believe every time he looks at you, he sees her ghost. That's why you've been placed in the servant quarters instead of the Luna suite. That's why he's so cold, so cruel. I have heard how he treats you." She paused, watching my reaction. "But it's also why you might be the only one who can save him, break this curse. I don't know how that can happen. But maybe the goddess brought you here for a reason."I shook my head, overwhelmed. "I don't want to be someone's replacement. I want to be valued for who I am.""And that, my dear, is exactly why you might succeed where others have failed." Amelia stood, moving to a window that overlooked the training grounds. "Lily was strong, yes, but she was also fragile. She couldn't handle the darkness that comes with loving someone like Thorne. She couldn't break the relationship with someone who she was never fated to. But you... you have something she didn't.""Wh

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Luna Trials

    Chapter 23: The Luna TrialsAVELINEMy hands tugged at the black dress I was putting on. This was the third day after Syra had given me a black eye, and I hadn't gone back to the academy. Christy had told me I needed to fully recover, at least since I was wolfless and an omega. It was going to take time for me to recover, and I agreed to stay back.My wolf had been silent and only spoke when needed, which, for some reason, bothered me.And today was the day I was to meet with Elder Amelia. I didn't know what the meeting was all about, but something told me it had something to do with me being a bride.I hadn't gone back to working in the kitchen as the alpha had instructed, and I hadn't met him either. Maybe it was for the best that I haven't met him. I needed time away from him—he was a huge disaster, and yet, there was something about him that made me feel different..."I miss him..."I heard Aries chuckle in my head, and I glared at myself in the mirror, indirectly glaring at her.

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King    The Invitation

    Chapter 22: The InvitationTHORNEFuck, what was I doing?I groaned the moment I stepped out of her room. Seeing those wounds on her, those bruises, for some reason made me feel angry and possessive.I smashed my hands against the brick walls as I walked back to the main villa, ignoring the looks from the servants who quickly scampered away when they saw me coming out from the direction of the quarters.This was the first time in ages I was found entering the servant quarters. I was the alpha king, so it was a strange thing to see me there.After my encounter with her this morning, my wolf couldn't stop pacing in my head. For some reason, he wanted her; he loved it when he was close to her, but she didn't even have a wolf in her, which made everything more pointless. But there was something about her, something I was trying to grasp.There was an energy around her that I couldn't place my finger on.But it couldn't be a wolf. It couldn't be that she had a wolf. If she had a wolf, Cael

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King    Electric Touch

    Chapter 21: Electric TouchAVELINE"Alpha King," Dr. Maxwell said, quickly standing and bowing his head. "I was just finishing up with Luna Aveline's treatment. She has some bruised ribs and multiple lacerations, but nothing that won't heal with rest."Thorne's eyes never left my face. "Leave us."It wasn't a request.Dr. Maxwell gathered his things quickly and left, closing the door behind him with a soft click.Now it was just me and Thorne in my room, and suddenly the space felt even tinier. He stood there for a moment, not saying anything, just looking at me.I probably looked like hell. My hair was a mess, there was dried blood on my lips, and I was sure my face was swollen and bruised. Not exactly the picture of a strong Luna."So," he finally said, his voice eerily calm. "How was your first day of training?"I was taken aback by his question."Great..."I whispered, unsure if that was what I should have said seeing how beaten up I looked. I looked the opposite of what I just sa

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Blood and Surrender

    Chapter 20: Blood and SurrenderAVELINEI knew shifter werewolves were strong, but I didn't know the ones from the Crescent pack were stronger, more intimidating, and more frightening.Being knocked down with one single lift and finding my body smashed against the tree was enough to send my entire body into loads of pain."Weak, dear Luna. Is this how you will protect our pack and bear the next alpha king?"She said, walking towards me. I struggled so badly to lift myself. Every movement I made, the pain kept increasing.I watched her walk towards me as she bent down to my eye level."We just started. Why don't you fucking stand up, Aveline?"She sneered, roughly kicking me in the stomach, and a scream erupted from my lips, not bearing the pain anymore."Enough!"I heard a familiar voice scream."You don't fight like that. Your opponent is on the ground, and where the fuck is Gamma Nick? He's meant to be here to coach you all."Spencer said, watching as I groaned on the ground, while
