Forbidden Strings; Awakened By The Alpha The trail of shadows
Three days had passed in that pitch-black, damp cell, and my stomach had completely shriveled into a painful knot. Badly prepared bowls of cold porridge and stale bread crusts had been shoved under my iron door, but I had pushed every single tray away. I could not eat. I could only sit on the freezing dirt, burying my face in my knees, sobbing until my throat felt raw and raspy. Every second felt like an eternity as I imagined Lucian’s face when he returned to find me locked away like a treacherous animal.Suddenly, the deep, echoing blare of a horn sounded across the castle grounds, followed by the heavy thud of iron gates opening.He was back.Panic and relief flooded me at once, upon Lucian's return I would know where I stand and if he believed them....Sweat started to form on my forehead as I thought about how he would react to this, I had already pissed him off before he leftBefore I could even stand up, heavy, footsteps pounded down the stone stairwell. The deadbolt clicked
Forbidden Strings; Awakened By The Alpha The broken prophecy
~ Lucian ~"I will ask you once more," I growled, my grip tightening around the worn leather hilt of my broadsword until my knuckles turned stark white. "Who commands this unit? Speak, or I will paint these dirt tracks with your blood."The masked leader did not flinch. He raised his left hand, and the metallic click of dozens of crossbows cocking echoed through the quiet gorge. The steel tips caught the pale sunlight filtering through the high pine branches."Drop your steel, Supreme Alpha," the leader commanded, his raspy voice flat and devoid of fear. "You are coming with us. We have no orders to cut your throat today unless you force our hand."A bitter wave of regret surged through my chest. I had left my private guard at the fortress, trusting Adrian's word that a quiet two man party would move faster through the border lands. Now, standing in the muddy ditch with two dozen broadheads trained on my heart, my arrogance felt like a cold stone in my stomach.My wolf thrashed violen

The iron cuffs bit painfully into my wrists as the two guards dragged my feet across the cold stone floorboards. My tears had run completely dry, leaving stinging, salt-stained tracks down my cheeks. I could not bring myself to fight them anymore. The horrified whispers of the servants and guards echoed off the high walls, every single mouth throwing venom and disgust at my head. I could not believe Maya had done this to me. She had used my face, my trust, and my desperation to pull off her wicked stunt, then stood back in the shadows to let Kael crush my neck. I had risked everything to protect her from Lucian, to stop a war, to keep her safe, and she had handed me straight over to the executioner’s block without a single second of hesitation. The guards did not take me up to a high tower. They dragged me back down the long, winding spiral steps, taking me straight into a dark, damp cell block located far deeper than the main

Cassian was sitting on a stone bench in the center of the room, heavy silver chains wrapping around his bloodied shoulders and pulling his arms tight to his sides. His dark hair hung in dirty, matted strands over his face, but as the torchlight hit his eyes, he raised his head slowly."Olivia?" Cassian rasped, his dry lips cracking as a dark, bitter smile spread across his face. "Did my father finally get tired of playing with you, or did you come back to beg for my forgiveness?"Cassian continued to stared at me through the dim torchlight, his yellow eyes narrowing into tight slits as he thrashed against the iron chains."You think I am an idiot, Olivia?" Cassian rasped, his voice raw and gravelly. "Why would you be here with a key? Did Lucian send you to mock me before he puts my head on a spike?""I am here to get you out, Cassian!" I hissed, stepping inside the stone doorway and casting a fast, anxious glance over my shoulder toward the corrid

I continued to stare at the stairway as kael and Maya walked into my own space, unable to believe it was actually happening My knees finally gave out, and I sank back onto the wooden bench in the dark dining hall, my mind completely numb. Lucian had not even been gone for a full hour, and already Kael and Maya had stripped me of my home, driving me out of the master chambers like an unwanted dog.I dragged my heavy feet over to the small wool couch sitting in the corner of the lower parlor. I curled my legs up toward my chest, wrapping my arms tight around my shivering frame, and stared at the dying embers in the fireplace until my eyes finally fluttered shut from exhaustion."Olivia! Olivia !" I heard someone call from my sleep, I didn't open my eyes, I didn't want to "Wake up, you idiot!" the person snapped A sharp grip shook my shoulder violently, jerking me out of a restless sleep. I gasped, sat up fast, and rubbed my stinging eye

"Behave yourself while I am gone, Olivia," Lucian whispered softly. "I'll be back before you know it" He leaned down, cupping my cheek with his large hand, and pressed a deep, lingering kiss against my lips that made my heart flutter despite the cold dread in my belly. He pulled back, gave me one last firm look, and turned on his heel to join his elder brother at the high oak doors. As the heavy entrance swung open, Kael strolled down the grand staircase, rubbing the back of his neck where the stone wall had bruised him earlier. He looked completely unbothered, his dark eyes sweeping past me with pure contempt. "Make sure the kitchens prepare a massive feast tonight," Kael barked to the nearby steward, his voice echoing through the foyer. "I want hot roast pig, red wine, and soft bread brought to the main table in an hour. I am starving." I did not answer him. I walked past the guards and stepped out onto the cold stone terrace, watching the heavy black carriage pull into the cou
