Jace’s heart slammed against his ribs.His fingers moved with blinding speed. He crammed the thin, yellowed parchment scroll deep inside the inner lining of his tunic, pressing his forearm tightly against his ribs to hold it completely flat.His eyes had suspicion in it as he stared down at the shattered pieces of the alabaster statue scattered across the floor."What was that noise?" the guard growled, his deep bass voice rattling the glass windows.He took a heavy step forward, his broad towering shadow swallowing Jace whole."What are you holding in your hand?"Jace held his breath, locking his knees to keep them from trembling under the guard's intense gaze. He lifted both of his open palms into the air, showing his bare empty skin."Nothing," Jace whispered, his voice steady despite the cold sweat trickling down his spine."I... I lost my balance.""My hand knocked the statue off the nightstand."The giant guard sneered, taking another step closer until his armor nearly brushed a
"Where... where am I?" Jace whispered softly."Why is it so ice-cold in here?"Jace opened his eyes slowly, a sharp ache pulsing behind his temples. The cold stone floor felt rigid beneath him, and his head throbbed with every shallow breath.He tried to lift his arm, but his wrists were bound behind his back."Father... Mother..." Jace murmured, looking up at two oil paintings on the stone wall."This is the room where my father spent his sick days...""This is where King Malakor died."Jace tugged at his ropes, but his body felt heavy and weak."Why am I so weak?" Jace whimpered, tears in his eyes."Why can't I feel my silver wolf?" Jace pressed his forehead against the pillow, his body shaking from the bitter cold.The lock on the chamber door clicked shut.Commander Vane stepped inside, his armor glinting in the dim light."Awake already, my King?" Vane asked, a cold smile on his lips. "Did you really think you could sneak plot with the regionals without me noticing?" Vane added, t
The dim stone passageway of the lower eastern wing was cold and damp.Jace led Elias through the shadowy corridors, keeping their footsteps completely silent against the ancient flagstones.They stopped before a hidden heavy oak door set deep within the stone archway.Jace took a deep breath. He knocked three distinct times...two short taps, then one long strike.Slowly, Jace pushed the door open, stepping aside so Elias could walk in first.Inside the small, candle-lit stone chamber, a tall figure stood beside the wooden table, his hand resting on the pommel of his broadsword.Beta Gavin looked up.His eyes locked onto the towering Alpha stepping through the doorway.Gavin’s jaw dropped. The heavy iron sword slipped from his hand, clattering against the stone floor."Elias?!" Gavin gasped, his voice cracking.Gavin sprinted across the small room.He threw his muscular arms around Elias in a tight, desperate bear hug, tears bursting from his eyes."By the Moon... Elias!" Gavin sobbed o
The heavy velvet curtains of the high tower bedchamber swayed softly in the cold draft.On the massive canopy bed, Alpha Elias lay completely motionless.His broad bronze chest rose and fell in heavy, laboured rhythms. Cold sweat glistened against his chiseled jaw and broad forehead.Doctor Thorne pulled off his linen gloves, letting out a long, heavy sigh.Jace leaned over the mattress, his slender fingers trembling as he clutched the Doctor's sleeve."Is he going to be okay, Doctor?""Tell me he isn't dying!""Please, Doctor !"The Doctor placed a comforting hand on Jace’s shoulder."Calm yourself, My Lord.""His life is not in danger."Jace pressed his trembling palm over his hammering chest."Then why did he collapse like that?""Why was he screaming in agony?""He was clutching his head so tightly... I thought his mind was tearing apart!"Doctor looked down at the unconscious Alpha with a solemn expression."When we checked before we found out that he had amnesia....""It locked
The silence in the high tower bedchamber was deafening.Jace stood a step back, his shoulders trembling beneath his thin linen shirt. His starlight-grey eyes glistened with unshed tears, looking up at the blind Alpha with raw, exposed vulnerability."You don't trust me..." Jace whispered, his voice cracking. "...do you?"Elias felt a sharp, painful sting slice straight through his chest.The pain in Jace’s voice hit him harder than any blade ever could. He couldn't see the tears on the boy's face, but his heightened wolf senses picked up every shuddering breath, every frantic, terrified beat of Jace’s heart."Jace..." Elias rasped.Before Jace could step further away, Elias lunged forward.His long, muscular arms wrapped securely around Jace’s waist, pulling the slender boy flush against his broad chest. He buried his face in the crook of Jace’s neck, inhaling that intoxicating cinnamon-and-violet scent like a dying man reaching for air."I'm sorry," Elias murmured, his deep voice thic
Jace left Elias's side and paused at the threshold, his heart pounding against his ribs. Behind him, Alpha Elias stood beside the arched window. The morning sunlight caught the thick raven waves brushing his collar, outlining the broad, bronze slope of his shoulders. His clouded mist-grey eyes were unseeing, but his chin turned instantly toward the sound of Jace’s slippers on the cold stone floor. "Jace?" Elias’s raspy voice echoed through the quiet room, thick with possessive warmth. Jace rushed across the chamber. He reached up, his slender fingers cupping the rough stubble of Elias’s jaw. The heat radiating from the Alpha’s skin sent a delicious shiver straight down Jace’s spine. "Elias, listen to me," Jace whispered, his voice trembling with urgency. "Stay right here." "Do not step outside this room." "No matter what sounds you hear,promise me you won't leave." Elias’s brow furrowed. His nostrils flared, taking in the sweet tang of panic mixing into Jace’s warm cinnamon
