SIGRUN

The quiet inside the apartment was unbearable.

For long moments, none of us spoke. The only sound was the low hum of the refrigerator and the distant, muffled honking of the night traffic three floors below.

I sat on the edge of the sofa, wrapped in a fleece blanket, holding a mug of lukewarm ginger tea Eva had pushed into my hands.

My stomach was a knot of anxiety and sharp, lingering nausea. Every few seconds, my gaze drifted to my belly, my mind reeling from the knowledge of w

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter One-Hundred-and-three: The Alpha King and the Usurper

    The cold-iron chains bit deep into the Alpha King’s wrists, but he barely felt the steel. It was the poison that made his blood burn. Every breath tasted of liquid ash and bitter nightshade. Deep within his chest, his beast scratched viciously against the dark wall of wolfsbane injected into him twice a day. The beast was paralyzed, caged behind a wall of black toxicity, but the rage—the primal rage—remained scorching hot. Footsteps echoed against the stone floor outside the cell. Varul didn't bother opening his eyes. He knew the cadence of those boots. He knew the subtle, arrogant rustle of fine velvet dragging over stone. "You look remarkably comfortable in chains, my Alpha," the usurper’s voice drifted through the iron bars. The iron door groaned on its hinges as Krev stepped inside, flanked by two guards holding heavy crossbows laced with silver-tipped bolts. The usurper stood just out of striking distance, adjusting the fur mantle draped over his shoulders—a royal mantle that

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter One-Hundred-and-two: The Royal Bloodline

    SIGRUNOrasmus took swift strides across the chamber floor, his thick leather apron rustling with every movement. His hands hovered near my shoulders for a fraction of a second—as if checking whether I was made of blood and bone or merely a phantom summoned by his mind—before he dropped into a deep kneel right at my boots."My Luna," Orasmus said."Get up, Orasmus, please," I said quickly, reaching down to grab him beneath his elbows to haul him back to his feet. "Please, do not kneel to me."Orasmus adjusted his thin-rimmed spectacles with a shaking hand, his sharp eyes scanning my face. "May the Great Goddess be praised, you breathe."A raspy, familiar voice spoke from the darkest corner near the far burial vaults. "I told you all our Luna wasn't dead."A tall, broad figure detached itself from the gloom, leaning heavily against a carved stone pillar. His left arm was tightly bound in fresh linens against his ribs, and dark, unnatural purple-black veins spider-webbed up his neck tow

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter One-hundred-and-one: The Catacombs

    SIGRUNThe lantern light flickered violently as a rush of cold air swept up the narrow tunnel, carrying with it the heavy scents of damp earth, centuries-old granite, and ancient dust.My heart thumped as we made our descent. I tightened Elara's woolen blanket around my shoulders."Watch the third step," Elara whispered nervously over her shoulder, holding the brass lantern high to illuminate the slick, moss-slicked stone. "The mortar dissolved decades ago. One bad slide and you’ll tumble all the way to the first landing."I stepped carefully into the yawning shadows behind her. Darkness swallowed us. I heard a flickering sound as Elara turned on a lantern."How long has this passage been here, Elara?" I asked, my voice echoing faintly down the winding stairwell."Approximately since before the First Dynasty," Elara murmured, her eyes fixed on the steps ahead. "My father discovered it when he inherited Thompson’s from his father. He spent half his life mapping these tunnels in secret.

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter One-Hundred: A Long Night

    SIGRUN The stairs creaked beneath my boots, every narrow step groaning like a warning as Elara guided me up into the living quarters above Thompson’s. The air up here hit me in a wave of overwhelming heat. It smelled richly of dried chamomile, old parchment, melted tallow, and wood smoke. A small iron stove crackled furiously in the corner of the low-ceilinged sitting room, casting long, dancing orange shadows across the crowded bookshelves and exposed timber beams. "Sit down. Please, Sigrun, sit before you collapse," Elara breathed, her voice trembling as she steered me toward a plush armchair tucked near the hearth. My knees gave out the second my legs brushed the cushion. I sank into the chair, a violent, bone-deep tremor sweeping through my chest. My jaw clamped tight, my teeth clicking together uncontrollably. The rough wool cloak I’d looted was stiff with frost around the hem, but beneath it, my bare skin felt like carved ice. Elara bustled around the cramped kitchenett

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter Ninety-nine: I Made It

    SIGRUNThe transition wasn't smooth. It was a violent, bone-rattling drop that sent me sprawling hard onto the frozen ground.I gasped, my lungs instantly seizing as brutal, sub-zero air hit my throat like a mouthful of crushed ice. The warmth of Brooklyn vanished, replaced by a howling Northern wind that sliced through the thin fabric of my shift.Eva had freshly laundered it for me before I left. She, Princess Sigrun, and I had all agreed that returning in jeans and a sweater would make me stick out like a sore thumb in my own realm if indeed Krev had successfully usurped the crown. But standing in the snow wearing nothing but a linen shift and leather riding boots meant I was freezing to death within seconds.I pushed myself up onto my knees, my whole body wracked with shivers, my teeth clicking together uncontrollably.I made it.Instinctively, I pressed my hand over my stomach. Deep beneath my shivering skin, that tiny, miraculous spark pulsed back—faint and exhausted from the di

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter Ninety-eight: ...Always Meant To Be

    SIGRUNWhen the front door clicked open nearly twenty minutes later, Princess Sigrun stepped back into the room and held up a plastic bag from my favorite Chinese place with a tentative smile.Eva squeezed my hand one last time, wiping her damp cheeks. "I'm gonna go... pour that into paper plates for all of us," she murmured, offering a tiny, fragile smile before standing up and taking the peace offering from Princess Sigrun. She gave us a small wave and disappeared into the kitchen, extending Princess Sigrun the same courtesy the princess had given her to have a moment alone with me.I stood up, wrapping my sweater tightly around my chest, and met the princess near the small entryway.The silence between us hung heavy, filled with months of displacement, stolen identities, and chaos. But as I looked at her—really looked at her face, which was my face, yet etched with a lifetime of royal burdens I was only just beginning to understand—the anger melted away."In the beginning... I hate

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter Four: Okay…This Is Real?

    Conny and Rita were staring at me strangely. Apparently, this was something I was supposed to know already. Except that I didn’t. Then it all clicked. “A wolf? L-like a werewolf? My betrothed is a werewolf?” I whispered, mostly out of shock. Then I felt the laughter bubbling at the base of my thro

    “Well, thank gods, ye snapped out o’ it, yer highness. What was all that about?” Rita said, giving me a stern, matronly look. Although she seemed friendly enough, she scared me a little. Thankfully, she didn’t give me time to answer as she bustled forward and fussed with my hair and clothes, all t

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter Two: Denial

    “Arghhhhh! Stay away from me, you perverts!” I scrambled to my knees on the bed (come to think of it, it was a really soft bed. The strangeness of it registered somewhere in my mind but I was far too occupied at the moment to think too much of it), and eyed the two (frightened?) women fearfully.

  • I Woke Up Engaged To An Alpha   Chapter One: Burglars

    SIGRUN I was half asleep when I heard some muffled whispers. I probably forgot to turn off the TV before going to bed. I groaned lazily. I was too comfortable to get up. I was already snuggling the sheets and feeling pleasantly warm. With my eyes still closed, I tried to communicate with the
