Chapter 74: Ghosts at the Altar

AVELINE

Three days.

It had been three days since the attack. Three days since I'd discovered I could grow claws. Three days since Thorne had saved me and I'd woken up in his chambers.

And today was my wedding day.

I stared at myself in the mirror, and for the first time in my life, I didn't recognize the woman looking back at me.

She was beautiful.

The wedding dress was a fucking masterpiece—off-white silk that hugged every curve before flowing into a delicate train. The neckline dipped low enough to show the swell of my breasts, and long lace sleeves covered the fading marks on my arms, with real crystals covering the silk material, making me look even more radiant. My hair was styled in loose waves, cascading down my back, and the veil sat like a crown on my head.

I looked like I belonged here. Like I was worthy of being the Alpha King's bride.

But I knew better.

"Stop looking at yourself like you're going to a funeral," Christy said, adjusting my vei

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Chapter 121: The First Vision

    Chapter 121: The First VisionAVELINE'S POVTwo days after Raven discovered the baby had stopped growing, I was sitting in my first official Supernatural High Council meeting trying not to fall asleep.Or throw up.Or both.The pregnancy nausea had gotten worse since the baby paused, like my body was confused about what the hell was happening and decided to just make me miserable instead. I'd thrown up twice this morning before Thorne practically carried me to the Council chambers."You don't have to go," he'd said for the hundredth time. "They'll understand.""I just got appointed to the Council. I'm not missing my first real meeting because of morning sickness."So here I sat, in a room full of the most powerful supernatural beings in existence, trying to focus on whatever the hell the Vampire Lord was droning on about regarding blood supply chains and territory disputes.Across the massive circular table, the Dragon King kept giving me concerned looks. On my right, the Fae Queen lo

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Something's Wrong

    Chapter 120: Something's WrongAVELINE'S POVThree weeks had passed since everything settled down, since Nathan died and the territories started rebuilding and life supposedly went back to normal.Except nothing felt normal.I stood in front of the mirror in our bathroom, my hand pressed against my stomach where a small bump was starting to show. Three weeks pregnant and already visibly showing because apparently my daughter had inherited both mine and Thorne's stubborn refusal to follow normal rules.The water from the shower was still running and I could hear Thorne moving around in there, probably waiting for me to join him like I'd promised ten minutes ago.But I'd gotten distracted staring at my reflection, trying to recognize the woman looking back at me.Queen Luna of Silverthorne. Council member. Mate to the Alpha King. Pregnant with what Raven kept calling "the most powerful wolf pup in centuries."Sometimes I still expected to wake up back in Duskfall, scrubbing floors and b

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Final Claim

    Chapter 119: The Final ClaimAVELINE'S POVThe second my fingers wrapped around his cock, thick, hot, already leaking for me, a deep, animal growl ripped from Thorne’s chest. I looked up, watching him throw his head back, silver eyes shining wild under the moonlight, veins popping in his neck. He looked devastatingly hot, like a god ready to ruin me all over again."And this…" I whispered, my voice low and filthy, leaning in until my lips brushed the swollen tip, tasting the salty precum beading there. "I deserve this."And with one bold shove, I took him deep into my mouth, sucking hard around the head, my tongue swirling slow, teasing the sensitive underside. His groan was raw, broken, his hand flying to my hair, gripping tight, pulling just enough to make my pussy clench hard."Fuck, Aveline…" he rasped, hips jerking forward, pushing deeper.I pulled back just enough to whisper, lips brushing his cock,

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King    New Beginnings

    Chapter 118: New BeginningsAVELINE'S POVThe past three weeks had been a complete whirlwind of everything.Changes everywhere. Construction noise constantly in the background. People returning to Silverthorne who I'd never met but who apparently knew my parents, knew the pack before everything burned right from the ages.It was overwhelming and amazing and terrifying all at once.Silverthorne wasn't a wasteland anymore. Eric and Christy were handling most of the pack operations because honestly I was still figuring out how to be a leader, how to be a queen, how to be anything other than the omega I'd been few years ago. They were amazing at it though, organizing patrols and managing resources and dealing with all the politics I didn't understand yet.And pack members kept coming back. People who'd survived the original attack eighteen years ago and scattered across different territories were hearing that Si

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Facing Ghosts

    Chapter 116: Facing GhostsAVELINE'S POVI stood outside the dungeon for a solid five minutes before I could make myself actually walk down the stairs.Christy stood beside me, patient and quiet, while I gathered my courage. "You don't have to do this, you know. Thorne can handle it.""No, I need to." I took a breath. "I need to see them. Need to understand why they did what they did."‘Are you sure about this?’ Aries asked, concerned. ‘They hurt us. Badly. Seeing them again might bring all that pain back.’‘I know. But I can't move forward until I face them one last time.’Christy nodded and together we descended into the dungeons beneath the castle. The air got colder with each step, damper, and I could smell blood and fear and desperation mixing together into something nauseating.Guards stood at attention as we passed and I coul

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Ghosts of my Past

    Chapter 117: The Ghosts of my PastAVELINE'S POV"I used to wonder what I'd say to you if I ever saw you again," I continued. "Used to imagine all these speeches about how you were wrong about me, about how I was worth something despite what you thought. I wasn’t quite brave enough to tell you sincerely how I felt on my wedding day, but now that I'm here again, now that I'm actually standing in front of you..." I shook my head. "I realize I don't need your validation. I never did. I was always worth something. You were just too blind to see it."I turned to leave but Lily's voice stopped me."I really am sorry," she said quietly. "For everything. For making your life hell. For going along with Father's plans. For not being a better friend when you needed me most." She looked up at me with red, swollen eyes. "I know it doesn't matter now. I know sorry isn't enough. But I need you to know I mean it."I studied
