Chapter 151: The Dark King's Game

THORNE'S POV

I'd killed Malachar Ashford.

I remembered it very clearly, the way his blood had looked black in the moonlight, the sound his neck made when it snapped, the absolute certainty that he was dead when we'd burned his body to ash.

Except apparently, I hadn't killed him at all.

Which meant everything, every single thing we'd believed about Morgana, about her grief, about why she'd taken Greta, was a lie.

They'd been playing us from the start.

'This is bad,' my Lycan, I could perceive the smug appearing on his face. 'This is really, catastrophically bad. And Charming.’

"How?" I demanded, my voice coming out rougher than intended. "I killed you. I felt you die."

"You felt what we wanted you to feel," Malachar said, amused. "My wife is talented with illusion magic, if you hadn't noticed. What you killed was a very convincing construct. The real me has been somewhere much more interesting, perfecting the magic needed for our true purpose."

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Drunk Confessions

    Chapter 170: Drunk ConfessionsAVELINE'S POVThree hours into the party, Christy was absolutely wasted.I'd lost count of how many drinks she'd had, somewhere around seven? Eight? She'd stopped being coherent around drink five."I love you," she announced loudly, throwing her arms around me. "You're my best friend. Did you know that? You're my BEST friend.""I know," I said, trying to keep her upright. "You've told me six times.""Because it's TRUE," she insisted. "You're amazing. And pretty. And your baby's going to be so cute. Like, criminally cute.""Thank you," I said, catching her as she swayed."And Thorne!" she shouted toward where he was standing with Taylor and Eric. "You! King man!"He turned, eyebrow raised."You better treat her right!" Christy continued. "Or I'll—I'll—what will I do?" She turned to me, confused."Kick his ass?" I supplied."Y

  • Claimed by the Damned Alpha King   Party Preparations

    Chapter 169: Party PreparationsAVELINE'S POVThe day of Christy's party arrived faster than expected.I woke up to her bursting into our chambers without knocking, arms full of dresses and makeup."Rise and shine, Luna!" she announced cheerfully. "We're getting ready together and you don't get a say in it."Thorne groaned beside me, pulling a pillow over his face. "What time is it?""Time for you to leave so we can start the girl time," Christy said, already shooing him toward the door. "Out. Go do Alpha King things. We'll see you tonight.""This is my room," he pointed out."Not anymore alpha king," she said sweetly. "Now scoot if you may."He looked at me for help. I shrugged."She's terrifying when she's determined, you made her your head gamma" I said. "Better just go with it."He muttered something about tyrannical women and retreated, still half-asleep.Once h

  • 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
