~Alaric

I told myself I'd stay back far enough.

Well, that was what I'd said to her, that my men would be watching from a distance and that she wouldn't see them. What I didn't mention was that I'd be one of them.

I watched the whole exchange from the shadows, close enough to move if I had to, far enough that she couldn't turn around and catch me without actively looking. She held herself well out there. Chin up, arms folded, not giving Vespera a single thing to hold onto, and I'd be lying if I

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   54. Sera's Plan (III)

    ~SeraShit.I rushed around the nearest corner and pressed my back to the wall. I don't even know if this was a good hiding spot, but I just knew that I couldn't be standing in that hallway when he got there.Their footsteps got closer until Halter and his Beta appeared, speaking in low tones, and then they stopped.I peeked, seeing the small frown on their faces as they looked around, their noses high, sniffing the air.Shit. I think they got my scent.I leaned on the wall, my palm flat against my chest as my heart thumped so loud I was sure they could hear it too.Keep walking, you two. There's nothing here to see. Just keep walking. A few seconds passed with my breath stuck in my throat.Then Halter grunted, “Must be the damn breeders.”I let out a small sigh as they continued their conversation. I slid a little closer to the edge of the wall so I could hear better."She's getting worse by the day," Halter said. "The healers can't tell me anything useful. I give her a month, maybe

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   53. Sera's Plan (II)

    ~SeraI shifted on my feet, eyeing whatever was going on here, but I said nothing.Gods… I really didn't come here to watch a grown woman heave blood into a bowl, but I kept my face stoic and my mouth shut. Keeping every snide comment in check.She retched again, and I turned away, scrunching my nose, and the sound of it hitting the container made me gag.Oh mother, what did you put me into? I turned to her again, almost failing to hide my disgust. What a weak Luna.Her face had gotten paler, and I almost rolled my eyes when I caught sight of her eyes; of course she's deformed. Mother didn't mention that.Tsk.. tsk.. tsk…I almost smirked at the sheer irony of it. A blind Luna married to a man obsessed with having an heir to the extent of seeking out countless breeders.Poetic. But in a sad, pathetic sort of way.She straightened slowly, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, and turned her face toward me with an accuracy that shouldn't have been possible for someone who couldn't

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   52. Sera's Plan (I)

    ~Sera ~HOURS EARLIER~ I pushed my door open, and my mother was already waiting for me in my room, which told me she already knew why Alaric had called me earlier. She always knew, somehow. But I didn't care. As long as she provided me with a solution to this fucking mess. "You're not going with her," she said, before I'd even fully stepped in. "Well, that's the assignment; I must go with her.” I deadpanned, rolling my eyes in annoyance. "Forget the assignment." She crossed the room and closed the door behind me with a sharp expression, the way I recognized from every important conversation we'd ever had. "This is your chance to get rid of her." I frowned. "What are you talking about? What chance?” "The pack she's being sent to." My mother's lip curved, as if she were satisfied with the information she was about to share. "Alpha Halter. Do you know who his niece is?" I tilted my head, not knowing where or who she was hinting at. "Vespera Darkmoon." Something in me

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   51. Investigations

    ~Alaric“There needs to be a need to build a larger Silo for grains—” An elder rambled on for the past thirty minutes, and I tuned him out, leaning into my chair with my head propped up against my fist and my elbow braced on the arm of the chair, letting him talk while nodding like I was listening. But I wasn't. Barely. My eyes were fixed somewhere in the middle of the hall past the man currently droning on about grain reserves, and my mind was three places at once, none of which involved grains.These past few days without Althea had been stressful, for both my wolf and me. We had serious work done and about to do.I'd stationed four of my most trusted maids in Althea's quarters before she left, keeping her rooms occupied and moving. They left the lights on at the right hours, meals ordered and returned, so that anyone watching from outside would assume she was still here.And I also was running the guard deaths over in my head instead of listening to grain projections.Luckily, w

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   50. Compromised

    ~AltheaI've been compromised…And thrust into the unbearable life of a breeder.But for the other breeders, I don't know what fate awaits them.Now, soaking in a warm bath they put me in, which I barely noticed. My mind was already somewhere else entirely.Halter was Vespera's uncle.That was the thing I kept circling back to no matter what else was happening around me. Vespera's uncle.Which meant the moment Nolan realized I was no longer in Darkmoor- and he would surely do- it wouldn't take long for that information to travel from him to Vespera.And then, I'd be in serious trouble. And another part of my problem: Sera was still missing. It was eating at the back of my mind. Was she taken against her will? Did Alpha Halter get to her? Is she in trouble?I don't know, and that's the worst!I needed to wrap this up. Fast.I already had what I came for. The dead breeders, the breach of contract, the blind Luna, everything that told me something deeply wrong had taken root here long b

  • Divorcing My Alpha Husband For His Uncle   49. Blind Luna

    ~AltheaThe scream cut through the floor again, and my muscles tensed; I bit my lower lip, thinking of a plan, my chin tucked down.Nobody in that hall so much as exhaled, as they flinched towards each other, whimpering.I stumbled over frantic thoughts, unaware that the woman behind me had grabbed a fistful of my cloak at some point, until I felt the fabric pulling tight at my shoulder. But I didn't shake her off; instead, I pulled her in closer.The screaming outside went on for several seconds, then it stopped abruptly. The silence that followed was suffocating and charged, worse than the screaming itself.Then out of nowhere a staggering stench hit my nose, almost making me retch. My stomach twisted as I unintentionally looked sideways without fully turning my head, only to discover that one of the breeders near the front had peed herself.She was staring at the floor, her face completely empty of color with a dark stain spreading slowly down the inside of her shaking legs.A snee
