Chapter 44: Lunagram

AVELINE

My mouth snapped shut the moment he walked past me, his broad shoulders brushing against mine. For a fleeting second, I felt sparks pulse through me where his skin had touched mine—electric and undeniable.

I stood there, shocked. Too shocked to respond, too stunned to even breathe properly.

Hadn't he declared a marriage with me? Wasn't he the one who mentioned we would be getting married? What had changed? Why was he acting so weird? Why was he behaving like a woman on her period?

I blushed at the thought, shaking my head slightly as I stepped into the elevator. Christy was waiting for me, and I didn't want to delay her any longer than I already had.

Suddenly, my phone beeped. My hands froze mid-reach, and my face paled in the elevator's harsh light.

My picture was glowing brightly on the screen—me trimming flowers in what looked like a candid shot. The caption read boldly across the image: "The Alpha has declared himself a new bride, to be married in a wee

You changed a characters name again mod way through the book. Aveline Nightfall to Aveline Nightbloom. There's also some crazy editorial and readability errors. You should really have your stories proofread by at least 3 people.

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Test and Trial

    Chapter 168: Test and TrialTHORNE'S POVI assigned Taylor and four of my best warriors to guard Seraphina around the clock. Made it crystal clear that if she so much as breathed suspiciously, they had permission to restrain her first and ask questions later."You really think she's a threat?" Taylor asked as we watched Seraphina get settled into a temporary holding room while the journal was examined."I think everyone's a threat until proven otherwise," I said. "Especially people who show up right after a major battle offering convenient help with centuries-old family secrets.""Fair point.""But," I continued, watching Seraphina through the observation window as she sat calmly, waiting without complaint, "if she is genuine, if those journals are real, she could be invaluable. Morgana won't expect us to have insider knowledge of her methods from before she became immortal. That's information she probably thinks died with Seraphina the Elder.""And if she's not genuine?""Then we kil

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Unexpected Visitors

    Chapter 167: Unexpected VisitorsAVELINE'S POVTwo weeks after the battle, someone unexpected showed up at Silverthorne's borders.A woman. Alone. Claiming to have information about Morgana."She's waiting in the interrogation room," Taylor reported during our morning meeting. "Wouldn't give her name. Just said she needs to speak with you and King Thorne immediately.""Could be a trap," Eric pointed out."Everything's a trap lately," I muttered. "Might as well spring this one and see what happens."Thorne gave me a look. "Your decision-making process needs work.""You're the one who taught me to face threats head-on.""I taught you to be strategic about which threats to face," he corrected. "There's a difference.""So we're not going to talk to her?" I asked.He sighed. "We're talking to her. But under guard. With magical restraints. And if anything feels off, we're ending the conversation immediately.""See? Strategic," I said cheerfully.The woman in the interrogation room was maybe

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Hot Bathroom Shower

    Chapter 166: Hot Bathroom ShowerAveline's POVThe shower helped, hot water breaking down on my sore muscles, washing away the sweat and exhaustion from earlier. I didn't even hear him come in, didn't realize Thorne had joined me until his hands slid down my wet skin, slow and deliberate, like he was memorizing every curve on my body."I thought you said shower then food," I breathed out, my voice already shaky as his fingers traced patterns along my ribs, down to my hips."I did," he agreed, his mouth hot against my neck, teeth grazing the sensitive spot that made my knees weak. "This is part of the shower.""This is…oh god…" I gasped as his hand slid lower, cupping me between my thighs. "This is you being insatiable.""Guilty," he murmured, and I could feel his smile against my skin. "But you love it."I did. God help me, I did.His fingers moved through my folds, teasing, exploring, like he had all the time in the world. Like he wasn't making me shake already, my hands braced again

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Recovery and Revelations

    Chapter 165: Recovery and RevelationsTHORNE'S POVThe debrief twelve hours later was tense as hell.Every territory leader who'd contributed forces wanted answers. Wanted to know why Morgana escaped. Why we didn't pursue her. Why we let a loose end remain when we had the advantage."Because my warriors were exhausted," I said flatly, staring down the Vampire Lord who'd been particularly vocal about his complaints. "Because pushing further would've resulted in more deaths for minimal gain. Morgana without Malachar is significantly less dangerous. We made the strategic choice to secure our victory and regroup.""Strategic choice or weakness?" the Fae Queen asked, her voice dripping venom.I let Caelum's power leak into my voice, just enough to make everyone in the room uncomfortable."You want to call me weak to my face?" I asked pleasantly. "Because I just ripped the head off an ancient dark mage who's been preparing for centuries. I broke his wife's fingers for fun. I led a strike te

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Finally, Some Great News

    Chapter 164: Finally, Some Great NewsAVELINE'S PO"Please," I interrupted. "Just... give me an hour. I need to process this without an audience."He looked like he wanted to argue, but something in my expression must've convinced him, so he kept shut."One hour," he said firmly. "Then I'm coming to find you whether you want me to or not.""Deal."I walked away before he could change his mind, my legs carrying me on autopilot toward the gardens.I sat on a bench, surrounded by flowers that were blooming despite the season, and finally let myself break.Sobs tore out of my chest, ugly and harsh sobs. Tears streaming down my face. My whole body shook with grief I'd been holding back since the ritual chamber.My mother was gone.Really, truly gone this time.No magical consciousness. No last words of wisdom. No comforting presence protecting my daughter from the inside.Just gone.And I'd let it happen. Had agreed to redirect the ritual even though I knew it would kill her.'You gave her

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Aftermath of War

    Chapter 163: Aftermath of WarAVELINE'S POVMalachar's body hit the ground with a loud thud, head rolling away from his torso.Dead. Finally, actually dead.The ritual circle's light flickered once, twice, then died completely, the black flames extinguishing like someone had blown out a candle.And I just stood there, numb, because my mother was gone.Again.For real this time. No consciousness hiding in my baby. No last-minute magical loopholes. Just... gone."Aveline," Thorne's voice, gentle as he shifted back to human form and moved toward me, standing naked but that was the last thing on my mind now. "Princess, are you—"I held up a hand, stopping him. If he touched me right now, if he showed me any kindness at all, I was going to completely shatter.And we were still in enemy territory. Still had to get out of this fortress alive."I'm fine," I lied through my teeth."You're not fine—""I'm FINE," I repeated, my voice sharp enough to cut. "My mother just sacrificed herself for t
