Chapter 57

Angelina's voice cut through the thick hush like the sharp edge of a frost blade. She stood beside Rafe, her eyes blazing with feigned and pretended sympathy, her lips curled into a poisonous grin. "Can't you see what she's doing, Rafe?" she whispered, but her words were loud enough to reach Seraya. "She's only pretending to be weak, acting innocent—so that she can steal your heart again. That is her game.

That has always been her game."

Her voice was coated in honeyed venom, with every syllable carefully set to chip away at Seraya's pride. Angelina's hand brushed Rafe's arm, as if she wanted to bind him, to remind him that she existed and that she loved him.

Seraya stayed frozen by the weight of those words. She did not move, did not speak, did not blink. Night air clung to her skin, freezing her bones, but she complained not. She had braced herself for this. She had hardened her heart against the worst there could be. The violence of Angelina's lies did not strike her as

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   chapter 72

    Chapter 72Her tone came out gruffer than she intended it to, quivering with incredulity."Ace… what happened to her?"Ace had already shifted between Seraya and the girl, his tall stature blocking Seraya's line of vision. His eyes glinted, a killer's glint flickering in their surface, but when he moved toward her, his face smoothed into trained serenity. He leaned forward, his head tilted to one side, exhaling as if laboring under a minor explanation."She's just sick," he stated smoothly, his voice filled with earnestness. "I found her here in this condition. Probably a fever or weakness. That's all."But Seraya's instincts yelled otherwise. The color of the girl's skin was an unnatural pallor, too white for ordinary sickness. Her lips were dry and cracked, her breathing ragged, and the way she jerked every so often reminded Seraya of someone wrestling unseen chains. The air near the girl was thick, carrying an odor that Seraya couldn't quite pinpoint, but which made the tiny hairs

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   Chapter 71

    Chapter 71Cohen had paced back and forth in front of Rafe's door for some time before he finally entered. The weight of the news he carried was immense, and though he had never been the voice of reason at the shoulder of his king, today even his heart thudded unevenly. He knew that what he was about to say could shake Rafe more than anything else had done in the last few weeks.Rafe was at the window when Cohen entered. His broad form was engulfed in darkness, and the pale silver moon light poured over his shoulders like plate armor. His stance was rigid, but his demeanor shifted with restlessness, the indication his wolf had been troubled since their return from the previous patrol. Not turning to him, Rafe's deep and authoritative voice rolled, but it carried a note of weariness."Tell, Cohen?"Cohen dipped his head before moving forward. He talked calmly, measured, though his heart itched with each sentence. "My king… Ace."Rafe's shoulders stiffened. With that title, a jolt of fr

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   chapter 70

    Chapter 70Rafe remained in the great hall, his posture stiff as the darkness of the grand stone walls stretched around him. His eyes, usually blazing with dominance, had a strange hold-back tonight. He had invited Seraya to appear before him, the air dense between them. When she did arrive, her step firm and chin set, he had the words caught in his throat for a moment. He breathed deliberately, as if steeling himself against an onslaught of emotion he wasn't ready to confront."I apologize, Seraya," Rafe finally said, his voice resonating off the marble floor.They were awkward words even to his own hearing. He rarely apologized—never, in fact—but the storm of regret that had been gathering within him since Laura's interference compelled him to this extent.Seraya's mouth parted slightly, but instead of softening, her eyes hardened. A dry, mirthless laughter came out of her throat, hard and jagged. "Apology?" she spoke once more, her tone thick with gall. "What would that accomplish

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   chapter 69

    Chapter 69Rafe sat on his elevated throne, his face impulsive. His arms were crossed on the scrollwork grips of the throne, his jaw locked in place as his scarlet eyes landed upon the guarded one. His very presence lingered like a thunderhead in the hall, and yet Laura remained unfazed. She stood tall, chin up, with a wicked grin on her lips that betrayed the fact that she wasn't bothered by the King of Alphas.The guard's shoulders heaved wildly under the force of the silence. When Laura clicked her fingers, two guards shoved his head back. His eyes darted wildly between Rafe and Laura, with a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his temple."Talk," Laura commanded, her voice crisp and icy, cutting through the air. "Tell our Alpha King what you confessed to me."The guard swallowed, Adam's apple bobbing before he stuttered, "M-My lord… I—I saw… a man. I saw him leaving the castle that night."Murmers echoed around the room. Warriors exchanged glances, brows furrowed. Angelina's

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   chapter 68

    Chapter 68Hours he had replayed the words of the witch in his head. At first, he had denied, his mind unwilling to see his own claws had ended a life that was so precious. But the images she provided for him, the memories of his wolf's savage attack, that recollection of that ill-fated night—all were unable to leave him. His heart broke at the reality of his daughter, Seraya, languishing in Red Darkling Castle as a result of his deed.He could not have her linger there any longer. Not when the blame lay on his shoulders. Not when his daughter was paying for his mistake. Tonight, he would confess everything to Ace and then address Rafe. Let the Alpha King have his vengeance on him—at least Seraya would be free.Artemis came to the wooden door and knocked softly. The impact was dulled, dampened by the wall's thickness. From inside, there was the quiet step of footsteps before the door groaned open. Ace emerged, his keen eyes folding into a scowl as soon as he saw Artemis's face."Artem

  • Her Forbidden Alpha King   chapter 67

    Chapter 67Angelina's voice carried through the chaos like a poisoned scimitar. "She is the one! The smell of the power… the odor of the darkness—it's coming from her room!"Gasps erupted among the pack, coarse, biting, with incredulity and yet readiness to damn. Wolves turned their heads towards Seraya, nostrils flung wide open as if sniffing for the evidence that Angelina claimed she had found.Seraya's ribcage contracted in pain. She could barely breathe under the weight of so many accusing stares. She shook her head once, her voice trembling with conviction but firm. "I didn't. I never—""Lies." Angelina's mouth curled up, her beautiful face twisted in hatred. She stepped closer, her gown rustling over the stone floor in a proud arrogance equal to her hatred. "All of the guards that marched past your door last night experienced it. That suffocating darkness, that thick odor of corrupt magic—it wasn't in the hallway, it wasn't in the courtyard. It came from your room alone.""No, t
