The warmth of the honey water was the only thing keeping my hands from shaking as Kael’s words settled in my mind. A legacy to be erased? I knew we were powerful but who would hate us so much to go through such lengths for all these years to wipe us off completely!

"Who are they?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper. "To have been hunting me for so many years... that isn't a grudge. That’s obviously an obsession. Who exactly am I dealing with?"

Kael’s jaw hardened, the sharp line of it illuminat

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Last straw!!!

    The heels of my shoes struck the polished tiles of the long corridor with a sharp snap that echoed my rising anxiety. I had slipped out of the Council Chamber before the first Alpha could even draw a breath to complain about Kael’s new security mandate. I couldn't stand the smell of their suppressed fear a second longer, it was annoying to watch grown ass men act like toddlers.I reached a quiet alcove overlooking the mist-shrouded valley and pulled out my phone. I had a missed call from Axel. I hit the callback button immediately and he picked up on the second ring."Risa, thank the goddess you called back," his voice was low, "I’ve been monitoring the server logs from the Northern terminal back home. Things look... wrong. How are you holding up at that place?""I'm surviving, Axel," I said, leaning my forehead against the cool glass of the window. The mountain wind howled on the other side, muffled and frustrated. "But Kael just announced a unified security policy. He’s taking over

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Spineless!!!

    The heavy doors had barely hissed shut behind Kael before the vacuum he left was filled with a frantic energy from the alphas still seated. It was as if the oxygen which was drained out moments ago had suddenly rushed back into the room, and every Alpha in the chamber was choking on it.Silas was the first to act as he slammed his fist onto the table, the sound echoing like a gunshot. "One security signal? A unified network? He’s not asking for cooperation, that monster is blatantly asking for our throats!" He hissed with disdain and the veins on his head looked like they were about to pop out. His Luna was on the side trying to tell him to calm down but he shrugged her off. "It’s worse than a takeover," Miller of the West added, his voice thin and shrill. He was pacing the length of the glass window, his reflection ghostly against the drop of the valley. "If he controls the encryption, he controls all our movements, our trade, and our very lives. We might as well hand him our title

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    King!

    Kael leaned back, his fingers interlaced over his midnight-blue tunic. He looked relaxed, almost bored, but his eyes were like two blue lasers scanning the room for any form of weaknesses."The borders," Kael began, his voice dropping into a deceptively calm tone. "I’ve spent the morning reviewing the satellite feeds from the Southern Reach and the Northern pack.” He paused as he let the words sink in and I could see all the alphas gulping nervously. “It’s fascinating, really.” He grinned, but it was clearly not out of amusement. “We spend billions on drone technology and biometric fencing, yet the reports of rogue incursions have tripled in the last quarter."Alpha Silas cleared his throat, the sound like gravel in a blender. "Your Majesty, the terrain in the Ridge is difficult and the rogues are using the old mining tunnels to bypass the sensors. We are doing everything we possibly can to….""Everything?" Kael interrupted. He didn't raise his voice, but the word cut through the air

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Definitely Dangerous!

    The air in the Grand Hall didn't just feel cold and suffocating, it felt thin, as if Kael were personally consuming all the oxygen as he descended the final steps of the dais. My heart was thumping frantically against my ribs, the vibration traveling through all the pulse and cores in my body.Cade’s reaction was definitely not to be missed as well. His hand, previously resting with fake affection on my arm, suddenly clamped down. His fingers dug into my bicep, his knuckles turning a ghostly white as he held me possessively with jealousy. It wasn't a gesture of protection but it was just a brand of ownership that he wanted everyone to see. Kael didn't look at the Alphas bowing in his wake. He didn't look at the opulent decorations or the shimmering chandeliers. His eyes…. those predatory, piercing blue were locked onto mine. Every step he took toward us felt like a countdown as the distance closed from ten feet, five, three…and I found myself holding my breath, my lungs burning, wait

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    No peace!

    The air in the waiting room was filled with the scent of high-grade cologne, cedar, and the sharp smell of shifting wolf-energy. It was a holding pen for the most powerful people in the territory, yet as we stood behind the massive, carved black doors, we all looked like children waiting for the principal.Cade was vibrating as his fingers flew to his tie for the tenth time in as many minutes, straightening the silver silk until it was likely to fray."Risa, look at me," he hissed, his voice thin. "Is the crest straight? Do I look... solid? The lighting in here is unforgiving." He kept complaining. I leaned against the cold stone wall, swirling the champagne in my flute. "You look like you're about to shit yourself.” I said without looking at him. “Relax. It’s a summit, not a firing squad.""Easy for you to say," he snapped, his eyes darting to the heavy doors as the announcer’s voice boomed from the other side, calling in the Eastern Ridge. "You’re wearing a dress that makes you loo

  • His Regret, The Crown's Claim    Weak ego!

    I sat before the mirror in my silk bathrobe, my movements slow and deliberate as I applied a dark, smoky shadow to my lids. I looked like a woman preparing for war, which, in a way, I was.Really, it was exhausting, having to do all these and appear perfect all the time, but I had no choice. The door to the room opened, and Cade walked in, the heavy tread of his boots echoing on the marble. Without a word, he tossed a garment bag onto the chaise lounge and dropped his smartphone onto my dresser with a sharp clack."I had the stylists bring this up from the local boutique," he said, his voice tight with an unearned sense of authority. "It’s silver and traditional. It matches my tie and the Northern crest. So wear it." He said casually. I didn't even pause my eyeliner. He wanted me to wear a dress just because it matched his tie? He must be joking. "I’ve already seen it, Cade." I said curtly. "And?" he pressed, leaning against the doorframe. "I know you’re sitting there planning how

    I sank into the armchair, the crimson silk of my dress rustling like dry leaves on my skin. Axel dropped into the chair opposite me, his long legs stretching out as he let out a low whistle."I have to say," he began, a lopsided grin tugging at the corner of his mouth, "I was really impressed out

    I was in my study, trying to focus on the grain distribution reports that had been submitted this morning, but the numbers blurred out of focus. My mind kept looping back to the feeling of Cade’s hand on my arm and the way he’d switched from a monster to a husband who seemed to be grieving in the b

    "Enough with your stupid theories," I said, waving a hand to cut through the sudden silence he’d just created. "Stop speculating. You’re starting to sound like one of those tabloid bloggers. If Kael had truly found his mate, he’s the King so he has no reason to hide her. He could have anyone he wan

    Marcus pushed the SUV to its absolute limit. My body was tossed like a ragdoll against the seatbelt with every violent swerve he made."Marcus, the van ahead!" I yelled, gripping the overhead handle so hard my knuckles burned white."They’re cut off, Luna!" he roared back, his arms bulging as he fo
