Kael’s POV

I stride through the palace hallway, my boots hitting the marble with more force than necessary. This whole cross-mating decree was a waste of time. My father should have just sent me to deal with the packs that have been siding with Draven.

It would have been wiser to make an example of one pack. The others would have fallen in line. However, King Alaric is a merciful king. At least, that’s how my father likes to portray himself. He’s a cunning man, shrewd to the bone, which is why

  • Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince   Chapter 377

    Colt POV)Lothair was right. My father had gone back to the mine, intending to make an example of him. But it wasn’t going to prove anything, only bring both of them to their deaths. And if I weren’t fast enough, then Kiara would join them.While the Mythguard retreated to their vehicles, Gavin, Everett, Billie, Aislin, and I shifted into our wolves and followed my father’s trail. We told the Mythguard to send half of them into town and the other half to the mine, operating off an educated guess of where David would go. As it turned out, my father led us right back to the mine nestled in the mountains, and we ran as quickly as possible after him. He had some distance due to us stalling to transform, but we were only a few minutes behind. His scent vanished as we approached the mine, while the deformed footprints of his massive feet in the dust promised he was there.I transformed back, reclaiming my human form and dressing myself in the clothes I had carried in my teeth here. Aislin,

    Kiara POV)The entire situation unfolded like a nightmare. I was barely conscious anymore and couldn’t even find my feet when the Mythguard burst onto the scene. The fighting bewildered me, and then suddenly, Colt was by my side, helping to set me free. For a fleeting few seconds, I thought I would finally be safe. My fated mate had come back for me as he promised. He was going to save me. I barely managed to smile—then I was stolen right out of his arms.But not before grabbing any part of Colt I could, hooking my finger into his pocket, somehow managing to snag a dart and hold onto it.The monster clutching me was the very same that had tortured me in the hours before. I had watched David’s body change into unfamiliar construction. Halfway between human and wolf, he stood on two legs and hunched over, fur rippling down his spine, his gangly arms tipped in long, razor-sharp nails. He hoisted me over his shoulder and ran, alternating between a two-legged gallop and a three-footed ambl

  • Claimed by the Ruthless Alpha Prince   Chapter 375

    Colt POV)For seven hours, we had deliberated where my father and the dragons would be hiding. The manor was among the last places we checked, simply because it seemed too obvious that they would go back there, but around 4 PM, the recon team confirmed the heavy presence of wolves and dragons. Then we conceived a new plan, and at the risk of rushing in unprepared, we took an hour to thoroughly consider our approach and every possible outcome. Part of our team returned to the mine, confirming that Lothair was still there. We had given his daughter to Everett and Aislin’s mothers to watch over. Then by 7 PM, we were finally ready to go to the manor, but knowing that we were approaching nightfall, we chose to wait until the Lycan transformations were underway. We would strike when their bodies were shifting—when they were most vulnerable. And the entire time, I was in so much agony I could barely think.Kiara was still alive. I would have sensed it if she died. But she was still alive a

    David sneered and stood back. “May as well bring her to the atrium now. We have seven hours yet before the ritual can begin, but I’d like to get an early start on her suffering.”As David turned away, Kipling hesitated, his hand over the deep wound I’d made in his abdomen. I tilted my head to leer up at the dragon guard. He caught my eye, mouth taut with displeasure, and I wondered if he was second-guessing, pledging himself to David, who didn’t seem to care that Kipling had been so heavily wounded. Kipling yanked me to my feet, and we trudged after David. I continued to shiver, the cold sinking right down to my bones, while Kipling bled profusely up the stairs.We went through the manor to a corridor off the parlor opposite the hallway with the office and staircase leading to the second floor. This corridor ventured into the eastern wing of the manor, which, based on the layer of dust accumulated in the corners and on the walls, I gleaned, was rarely visited. At the end of the corr

    Kiara POV)Hours in the refrigerator left me approaching hypothermia. My teeth chattered, and my muscles shivered without stopping. Pain from exposure to all the meat in the room radiated through me. All I could think about was the relief of warmth, but with the way my body was strung up, I couldn’t warm up my hands or feet, cover my bare skin, or even move to generate heat. A few times, I thought David had made a mistake in leaving me here to freeze to death, and I found small satisfaction in the idea of him coming to retrieve me only to find me a corpse. But as the hours dragged on, I continued to live. Through sheer force of will or simple misfortune, I didn’t know.Then my body became numb to the cold, and I stopped shivering. At that point, I knew my condition was deteriorating toward the point of no return. Once hypothermia set in, your body stopped feeling cold—in fact, your blood vessels dilated, and you felt warm instead. I still felt sluggish, but as my thoughts deviated awa

    Gavin lunged forward, all too ready to do as he was told, only to stop suddenly when his eyes fell upon the child. Everett and I quickly joined Gavin’s side, and there we saw the baby girl in Lothair’s arms with her eyes closed, breathing gently in her blanket, lulled into the comfort of restful sleep.“She’s still alive,” I said, unable to keep relief from my voice.“Yes. Muriel used the last of her magic to heal my daughter,” Lothair replied without emotion. He peered down at the infant, seemingly disconnected from her, looking at her like she was just an object and not his own beloved child. “She is perfectly healthy.”Then he looked back up at us again.“But I suspect that won’t be for long in your custody.”Anger prevented Gavin from saying anything.Everett turned his attention to the chain around Lothair’s ankle.“They left you behind. Why?”This time, Lothair hesitated to speak. His stare ventured past us.But I knew the answer.“They overthrew you.”Lothair frowned.“Yes. My
