Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride 204
Celeste The first volley struck before the echo of my command had faded.Arrows poured from the ravine in a black wave.The front ranks had nowhere to run.Men threw up shields. Others stumbled into those behind them. Horses screamed somewhere below as panicked handlers lost control.The enemy line folded in on itself."Second volley!" I shouted.The archers moved with practiced precision.Draw.Aim.Release.Another storm swept across the ridge.This time the arrows found gaps between shields. Soldiers dropped one after another, their careful formation dissolving into chaos.The commander reacted faster than most."Shields! Forward!" he roared.His officers repeated the order.Discipline returned in patches. Small groups locked shields together, creating pockets of resistance.Better than average.Still not enough."Mara."She was already moving.Her squad surged from the rocks on our left, slamming into the exposed flank before the enemy realized anyone had left cover.Steel rang t

Celeste The enemy kept climbing.One rank.Then another.Steel glimmered beneath the moonlight as shields rose over the lip of the ridge. Their commander was careful. He refused to rush, forcing his soldiers to secure every step before committing the next line.Smart.Very smart.I counted silently.Thirty.Forty.Fifty.Still not enough.Behind me, someone's breathing quickened."Captain..." Tomas whispered.I raised one finger.Wait.He fell silent.The enemy spread wider across the crest, expecting arrows that never came. They advanced cautiously, weapons drawn, eyes sweeping every shadow.One soldier kicked over an abandoned shield.Another prodded the ground with his spear."They really think we fled," Mara murmured."No," I whispered."They think we're hiding.""There isn't much difference.""There is."I watched their formation loosen."When people believe danger is close, they stay together.""And when they believe it's farther away?""They stop protecting each other."Almost

Celeste The silence that followed wasn't peace. It was calculation. Below us, torches shifted like restless stars across the hillside as enemy officers barked clipped orders. Lines dissolved, then reformed with unnerving precision. Wounded were dragged back. Fresh soldiers stepped forward without hesitation. "They're replacing the front rank," Tomas observed. "I see it." "They've got reserves." "They always did." The difference was that now they were using them properly. A horn echoed through the valley. Low. Long. Different from the earlier commands. Mara frowned. "New signal." "New commander," I guessed. The thought settled heavily in my chest. Whoever had been directing them before had learned from every exchange. If someone even more capable had taken over... Our window was closing. A runner approached from behind. "Captain." I turned. "The western watch reports movement through the trees." "How many?" "They couldn't tell. No torches." My stomach tightened.

CelesteConfusion bought seconds.Nothing more.“Left,” I said.We shifted as one, cutting across the line before they could close around us. A man lunged from the dark—too slow. Mara dropped him without breaking stride.“Don’t stop,” she muttered.“I wasn’t planning to.”Shouts rose behind us now. Not panicked—controlled, but sharp. Orders passed fast. Faster than before.“They’re recovering,” Tomas said.“Good,” I replied. “Keep them doing it.”Another platform came into view ahead, partially manned. One operator turned, eyes widening just a fraction too late.“Take it,” I said.Lysa’s arrow hit first—close, efficient. The second man didn’t get the shot off. Tomas drove forward, knocking the frame sideways. Wood cracked under its own weight, tilting, then collapsing into the slope.“Move.”No hesitation.We passed through the gap before it settled.Behind us, their line tightened. Not chasing wildly. Adjusting. Containing.“They’re trying to box us,” Mara said.“Yes.”“Do we let the

CelesteNight fell hard, wiping the valley from sight.“Now?” Mara asked.I nodded.Torches lit behind the ridge, low and uneven. They threw shadows forward, making us look scattered.“They’ll think we’re loose,” Tomas said.“Let them.”The west moved first. Slow, careful steps. No signals.“Hold,” I said.They hit fast, expecting a weak line.“Lock.”Our shields closed. No panic. No gaps.They pushed. We didn’t meet it head-on. We shifted, turning their force sideways. Their line lost shape and pulled back.A whistle cut through the dark.South.“They’re climbing,” Lysa said.Slower this time. Controlled.I stepped forward just enough to be seen.The first man reached the top and paused. Then moved.Two more followed, spreading out.“Now?” Mara asked.I waited, then gave it.We stepped back a single pace, opening space.They took it.“Close.”The gap vanished. We pressed inward, trapping them tight. No room to move.“Pressure.”We leaned, steady and coordinated. The ground shifted un

CELESTE “Sorry to interrupt, your majesty, but his majesty requests your presence.” Sylvester said as soon as I stepped out. He was dressed in his usual white tunic, and his silver hair was up in a ponytail. “Any clue why?” I asked, already walking past him. He joined me a second late. I had

Celeste I was never a fan of sultry nightwears, but I had no choice but to wear one today. I had put this off long enough. “You look beautiful,” Selene said, eyes wide. My reflection shower me a different image. “Beautiful? I'm going for a seductress, Selene, not beautiful.” I groaned. “You'

CELESTEEdgar looked visibly strained. I was half-sure he was trying to process what I had just said to him, and whether it was true.“I…I am glad that you did.” He said, quickly clearing his throat and taking his seat.I smiled again, this time it was genuine. The only difference was that it wasn’

Celeste Lyra rushed forward and snatched the paper from the floor before I could stop her. “Your majesty,” she gasped, eyes wide as if I had killed an innocent. “You threw this away.” she said as if shocked that I would do such a thing. I stared at her with an unreadable expression. “Yes, Lyra,
