Steam oozed out of the tub and water trickled down Nyra's bare back, glistening over every curve as she stepped out. The scent of rose oils trailed behind her.

Just as she left the bathroom, she heard the door creak without a knock. Her spine snapped straight when she saw who it was–Alpha Kael.

He strode in causally, his hands dipped in his pockets.

Nyra's jaw clenched as she clutched the towel tighter around her body, but she didn't shrink back. She stood on her spot, damp strands of hair falling against her cheeks. Their eyes locked.

Kael's eyes drank her in slowly and something shifted in him. His gaze never left hers as he suddenly felt hard.

“I wasn't expecting you,” Nyra's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.

“I can say the same. I wasn't expecting to find you this…” he trailed, his eyes taking her in again. “This way.”

He walked forward with deliberate steps. His lips twitched into a knowing smirk. “Or did you plan this?”

Nyra's gaze lowered. She couldn't stand the way sh

I think Rheya is just been blunt… I pity Nyra already

  • Craved By The Alpha Beast    Chapter 38: Kendall's Claim

    Days had passed but Nyra had seen little of Raina except when the she walked quietly into her chamber with trays of food. It felt like she was avoiding her.When a sudden knock sounded at her door that morning, Nyra rose cautiously. One of the maids stood with her head held high. Not a single sign of respect on her expression.“You are summoned for breakfast downstairs.”Nyra hesitated. It had been days since she had taken any meal outside the confines of her room. Still, she followed. Her steps echoed down the grand staircase into the long dining hall. The scent of roasted meat and fresh bread welcomed her first and her stomach growled.But then she noticed Kael's chair stood empty.Instead, Alaric occupied his space, already seated with a dish before him. His eyes lifted as she entered, the faintest flicker of acknowledgment crossing his stern features.Nyra moved quietly to her seat. The maids began to serve her, but she did not lift her utensils. She sat with her hands folded, her

    Raina froze, her hands hovering above Nyra’s bruised shoulder. The herbs in her palm slipped, falling soundlessly onto the floor. Her lips parted, but no words came, only the widening of her eyes that brimmed with disbelief.“Revenge?” she whispered with a fragile voice.Nyra blinked, as though she had said too much. Her throat tightened, and she pulled the shawl around herself.“I–” Nyra stuttered. Her heart pounded at her ribs, punishing. Zara growled through the mind link. ‘You cannot tell her about Renek. Not yet.’Raina’s trembling fingers reached out, gently brushing Nyra’s forearm as though trying to steady her. “What do you mean?” she asked softly. “Revenge on who?”Nyra’s breath stilled, her chest aching with the urge to confess. But if Raina knew the truth, she would only see the depths of Nyra’s obsession and how much she longed for Renek’s blood to get revenge for her mother, how much she had let vengeance consume her.Instead, Nyra shook her head faintly. “It doesn’t mat

  • Craved By The Alpha Beast    Chapter 36: A Taste of Revenge

    Nyra pressed her lips into a thin line as fear wracked through her, curling tight in her chest. How could she possibly tell him what she had just endured?She knew Kael could kill in that instant.His eyes burned with nothing but anger. The cursed link only increased his fury. His uneven breath fanned hot against her face, making her gasp.“I…” Nyra’s voice faltered.Rheya’s threat rang in her mind. ‘If you breathe a word of this to him, we are enemies forever.’ As much as she wanted to tell him the truth, she knew it would be reckless.Kael cursed violently and shoved himself off her, raking a hand through his hair. His veins stood out beneath his skin, the strain of control almost visible.“Say something,” he hissed, low. “Who did that to you? Did they threaten you?”Nyra almost flinched at the force of his voice. Still, she remained rigid on the bed, her eyes stung with unshed tears. Her body throbbed with every bruise.Before she could even gather herself, Kael seized her again, d

  • Craved By The Alpha Beast    Chapter 35: Irresistible

    Rheya's shoes struck against the flagstones as she descended the staircase, her fury carved into each step. In Kael’s weakness, she saw not vulnerability but opportunity. Opportunity to purge Nyra as she believed she poisoned him from within.“Find her,” she hissed to the guards stationed outside the wing. “Find the rogue. Search every hall, every corner. Drag her back to the dungeon where she belongs.”The guards stiffened under her command. One dared to ask, “By the Alpha’s orders, Lady Rheya?”She shot him a glare. “By mine. Do you question me?”The guard swallowed and shook his head quickly. “No, my lady.”“Good.” Her lips curved into a thin smile. “Chain her. Lock her where I can finish what I started.”The guards scattered into action, boots echoing through the corridors. Rheya turned, her body taut with restless energy. But her legs carried her elsewhere first.She swept into the maidens’ quarters. The room was still, including the few maids around. At the far end, Raina stood

  • Craved By The Alpha Beast    Chapter 34: Don't You Dare

    The night pressed heavy upon Blackfang thick with silence that carried no peace. Inside, whispers rippled along with hushed voices spreading word of their Alpha’s sudden weakness.Kael lay in his chambers, his body wracked with a pain that stripped even his pride. His breaths came shallow, uneven, sweat beading along his brow. Rheya lingered by his bedside for as long as her worry allowed, though it was colored with something darker than loyalty. At last, she rose with a hard glare toward the doors. “Rest, Kael” she whispered, though the command in her voice betrayed her frustration. Then she walked out.Moments later, the doors eased open with a whisper. Nyra slipped inside and closed the door behind her gently, as though even the sound of its latch might wake a beast.Her heart hammered as she walked forward. She had no right to be here, no right to care–but seeing him like this left her worried. She reached the bed, her gaze tracing the lines of pain carved into his features.

  • Craved By The Alpha Beast    Chapter 33: Bound to the Beast

    The dungeon was a place where hope went to die.Its walls were slick with moisture, stones breathing cold into the marrow of anyone unfortunate enough to be thrown inside. The air reeked of rusting chains and bars.Nyra sat curled in the corner of her cell, her knees hugged tightly to her chest. Her lips were cracked, her throat raw from hours of pleading through the bars. Her words had bounced off indifferent guards as they laughed at her hoarse cries for water, and anything that would ease the gnawing fire in her stomach.Her eyes burned with unshed tears at the thought of Kael's order. Three days. No food. No water. It had been only hours, yet it felt like years. Her body ached from the bruises Lucian’s men had left, and the exhaustion from running still dragged at her limbs.“I’m going to die here,” she whispered to herself, her voice breaking. “I’ll die, and he won’t even care.”Time passed in agonizing trickles. Her tongue felt dry, her stomach knotted in pain. She lay on the c
