Chapter 32:

I couldn't sleep.

Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the message Elias had placed on the table.

THE DAUGHTERS MUST FIND THEIR FATHER.

For years, I had believed the worst secrets of my birth were finally behind me.

I had learned why Eve and I were separated. I had faced the First Wolf and watched the ancient curse come to an end.

I had become Luna.

And now, on the very night I was supposed to celebrate my new beginning, I had discovered that my father might still be alive.

I stepped

  • DESTINED MATE    The Return of the First Alpha King

    Chapter 39 The mountain was calling Victor.And whatever waited beneath it wanted him alone.I watched the silver light stretching above the eastern ridge, my heart beating faster with every passing second.Behind me, Lucian was already gathering the ancient records.“We need to leave now,” he said. “If the seal is weakening, we don't know how long we have.”“Then we go together,” Eve replied.Victor said nothing.That worried me more than the mark on his hand.I turned toward him. “What are you thinking?”“I'm thinking that the message was clear.”“Good. Then you understand why we shouldn't listen to it.”“Layla, the door specifically said it would open only for the king.”“And it also said you must come alone. Since when do we obey instructions from mysterious ancient doors?”Zoe let out a short breath that might have been a laugh.Even Marcus looked as though he wanted to smile.Victor didn't.“If the door refuses to open while you're there, we could lose our only chance to stop

  • DESTINED MATE    The mark that most be broken

    chapter 37 Victor stared at the silver mark across his palm. For several seconds, nobody spoke. The symbol was identical to the one carved into the ancient door beneath the mountain. Thin silver lines stretched across his skin, forming a circle split by a single vertical line. Then the mark pulsed. Victor clenched his fist. A sharp breath escaped him. “Victor!” I grabbed his arm. “What happened?” “Nothing.” “Don't lie to me.” His eyes met mine. “I heard something.” Eve stepped closer. “What did you hear?” Victor hesitated. “A voice.” Lucian's expression changed. “What did it say?” Victor looked toward the windows, where morning light was beginning to creep over the Northern fortress. “It called me by my full name.” The room went cold. Not because of the weather. Because none of us had ever heard Victor speak his full name aloud. “Alexander Victor Ironclaw,” Lucian whispered. Victor's head snapped toward him. “How do you know that?” “Because

  • DESTINED MATE    The Warning Against the Alpha King

    Chapter 36: THE FIRST TO FALL WILL BE THE KING.I read the words again.Then I looked at Victor.He stood beside the table, his expression unreadable, but I knew him well enough to recognize the tension in his shoulders."Don't even think about doing something foolish," I told him.His eyebrows rose."I haven't said anything.""You don't have to. I know that look."Eve moved closer to the table."Could the message mean someone is coming for Victor?""Or it could be a warning about the seal," Marcus suggested. "We shouldn't assume it refers to an attack."My father examined the cracked container without touching it."Whatever produced this message knew about the ancient seal. That much is clear."Victor turned toward Lucian's guards."Bring him here."One of them hurried away.I folded my arms."If Lucian knew this was going to happen, I want to know why he didn't warn us before bringing that thing into the house.""Perhaps he didn't know," Eve said."Then why bring it at all?""Becau

  • DESTINED MATE    The High Priest Returns

    Chapter 35: Nobody moved.The voice outside the study was calm, almost pleasant.That frightened me more than an angry shout would have.My father stood frozen beside the desk, staring at the door as though the past had finally caught up with him.Victor moved in front of Eve and me."Nobody opens that door until we know what we're dealing with."A quiet laugh came from the other side."Still giving orders, I see. Some things never change."Adrian's hands curled into fists."Lucian.""Hello, brother."The handle turned.Victor signaled the guards to stand ready, but before anyone could stop him, Adrian stepped toward the door."Don't," I warned.He glanced at me."I have to face him.""Facing him doesn't mean you have to walk straight into a trap."For a moment, father and daughter stared at each other.Then Adrian stepped aside.Victor opened the door.The man standing in the hallway looked remarkably like my father.They had the same dark hair, the same sharp features, and the same

  • DESTINED MATE    The Brother Who Disappeared

    Chapter 34: The bell rang again.Once.Twice.Then silence swallowed the abandoned estate.Nobody moved.I stared at my father, struggling to understand what he had just told us."The High Priest was your brother?"Adrian nodded slowly."His name was Lucian. Before he became High Priest, he was the person I trusted most in the world.""And he tried to kill his own nieces?" Eve asked.Pain crossed our father's face."He believed he was saving the kingdom.""That's what everyone says," I replied bitterly. "The Priests believed they were saving the kingdom. Alexander believed he was protecting his legacy. Everyone had a reason for hurting someone else."I looked directly at him."When does protecting the kingdom become an excuse for destroying families?"Adrian lowered his head."When people become more afraid of losing power than they are of losing the people they love."For a moment, his words reminded me of everything we had already endured.Then Victor stepped forward."We need to e

  • DESTINED MATE    The Daughter Who Wasn't Supposed to Survive

    Chapter 33: For several seconds, nobody spoke.I stared at the man standing on the staircase.Our father.The man we had spent our entire lives wondering about had finally appeared before us, yet his first words had brought more questions than answers.Eve's fingers tightened around my arm."What do you mean one of us wasn't supposed to survive?" she demanded.Our father closed his eyes briefly."I prayed you would never have to hear those words.""That's not an answer!" I snapped.He flinched.I didn't care.We had lost years because of secrets. Our lives had been shaped by decisions other people made without our permission.I wasn't going to stand in front of our father and accept another half-truth."Tell us everything," I demanded. "No more secrets."He slowly descended the remaining stairs."My name is Adrian. I was a guardian of the royal bloodline, just as Elias told you. But I was also the person responsible for protecting your mother when the Priests began investigating the
