Chapter 26: The Blood Moon Ball

AVELINE

I stared at myself in the mirror. I looked different—different from how I used to look. I never believed that a few weeks ago I'd be standing in a dress like this. The long gown was a red, flawless dress that lay on my body like it was a second skin, and there were crystals all around it that made it more stunning.

This was a dress worth thousands of dollars, something I could never afford in my entire life.

And the makeup was so perfect, fitting my face

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Epilogue: Six Months Later

    Epilogue: Six Months LaterAVELINE'S POVSix months after Aria was born, life was still chaos.But good chaos. The kind I could handle."She's doing it again," Thorne said, appearing in the nursery doorway.I looked at our daughter. She was floating three feet off the ground, giggling like it was the funniest thing in the world."Aria Silverthorne Valek," I said sternly. "We talked about this. No floating until you're at least one."She giggled louder and floated higher."She doesn't listen," Thorne said, but he was smiling."She's six months old," I pointed out. "A YOUNG SHEWOLF, AND AN INCREDIBKY POWERFUL MAGICIAN. She’s already more powerful than most adult wolves. Of course she doesn't listen. She's got Silverthorne magic and Blood Moon stubbornness. We're doomed."I reached up and grabbed her, pulling her back down. She immediately started crying."I know, baby," I said, bouncing her. "Floating is fun. But you're giving mommy a heart attack."She stopped crying and grabbed my hai

Christy asked, seeing my face. "What's wrong?""I think…" I looked down at the puddle forming under my dress. "Yeah. My water just broke."The entire wedding froze."NOW?" Christy shrieked. "You're giving birth NOW?""I don't exactly have control over this!" I shouted back, yet feeling guilty.Then the first contraction hit and I doubled over, gasping."THORNE!" multiple people shouted.He appeared instantly, already shifting to Lycan form like he was going to fight whoever was hurting me."It's the baby," I gasped. "She's coming. Right now.""Fuck," he said, shifting back to human. "Okay. Okay. We planned for this. Maya's on standby. The medical wing is ready. We just need to get you there—"Another contraction cut off his words. This one was worse. Way worse."I can't walk,"

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Healing

    Chapter 186: HealingTHORNE'S POVThe post-war recovery took three weeks.Three weeks of endless meetings about territory boundaries and resource allocation and who owed what to whom. Three weeks of counting our dead and trying to rebuild what Morgana had destroyed.We'd lost over two hundred warriors in the final battle. Two hundred families destroyed. Two hundred funerals to attend.I went to every single one.It was exhausting. Soul-crushing. But necessary.These people had died fighting for us. For our daughter. For the future. The least I could do was show up and honor their sacrifice.Aveline came with me to most of them, her pregnant belly getting bigger every day, her face somber as we listened to grieving families share stories about their dead."This never gets easier, does it?" she asked after the hundredth funeral."No," I admitted. "It doesn't. You just learn to carry the weight better."She nodded, understanding.The Council meetings were somehow worse than the funerals.

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Broken Truths

    Chapter 185: Broken TruthsTHORNE'S POVThe second the Council chamber emptied, Aveline broke.She wasn’t crying or screaming, but her voice came out muffled, while I stood there, I capacitated, because I wasn’t shocked by the revelation, I had always thought of this, the thoughts had many times crossed my mind, but never had I made any efforts to research because I was scared… scared of what I would find."Aveline," I said quietly, reaching for her.She pulled away. "Don't.""Baby—""I said don't!" She turned to look at me and her eyes were wild. Hurt. "You knew. Didn't you? You knew about this, didn’t you?”"I didn't know about Reuben," I said honestly. "I swear I didn't know you were sisters. I just thought—""You thought what?" she demanded. "That the Moon Goddess sent you some kind of replacement? Some omega to torture because she looked like your dead mate?"I flinched because that's exactly what I'd thought at first."Yes," I admitted. "At first, yes. But then I got to know yo

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Execution

    Chapter 184: The ExecutionAVELINE'S POVThree days after the battle, they held Morgana's trial.I didn't want to go. Didn't want to see her face ever again. But Thorne said I had to be there, said the Council needed to see that she hadn't broken me.So I went.The Council chamber was packed. Every territory leader who'd fought in the battle was there. Every survivor who'd lost someone. The Dragon King sat in his usual spot, looking tired as hell. The Vampire Lord was there. Even the Fae Queen showed up, though she kept shooting me dirty looks.And in the center of the room, chained with so much magic I could feel it from across the chamber, was Morgana.She looked like shit. Her hair was gray now instead of black. Her skin was pale and covered in burns from where my magic had hit her. But her eyes, her eyes were still full of that crazy hatred."Morgana Ashford," the Dragon King said, his voice echoing through the chamber. "You stand accused of crimes against the supernatural world.

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   The Void

    Chapter 183: The VoidAVELINE'S POVI'd never seen anything like this.Morgana, or what used to be Morgana, was pure darkness now. Twenty feet of shadows with smoke and those horrible black eyes that looked like they could swallow the world."What the hell is that?" Ren asked, backing up toward me, but not fully."That's what happens when someone gives up their humanity for power," Seraphina said. "She's a Void now. No body. No physical weaknesses. Just pure dark magic.""How do we kill it?" Thorne demanded."You don't," Seraphina said flatly. "Voids can't be killed. Not with normal weapons. Not with normal magic. They can only be sealed away or banished back to the dark realm they came from.""Great," Dante muttered. "Just great."The Void roared again and shadows exploded from its body, shooting toward us like spears."SHIELDS!" Thorne shouted.Warriors threw up magical shields. Mages cast protective barriers. But the shadows tore through them like they were made of paper.I watched
