Kayden’s POV

She just walked away. Like none of it even happened. Like a man wasn’t just beheaded for her. Like she didn’t just cough up a nightmare and call herself unkillable.

“Nyx! Wait!”

I jogged after her, my boots slapping the stone floor. She didn’t slow down. Her back was straight, that stupid leather vest laced tight. I caught up and grabbed her arm.

Bad move.

She spun so fast it was a blur. Her open palm cracked against my cheek. The sound was loud in the empty hall. My head snapped to the side. The pain was sharp and hot.

I didn’t flinch. I turned my face back to hers. I didn’t rub my cheek. I just looked right into her eyes. They were gold again, not black. But just as cold.

“I didn’t poison you,” I said. My voice was flat. Sure.

She yanked her arm from my grip. “What difference does it make?” she asked. She wasn’t even yelling. That was worse. “You were sent here to kill me. That’s the only fact that matters.”

“Then I would have done it!” The words burst out of me. “I’ve

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    Your wolf is coming

    Kayden’s POVThe words just hung there in the dark room after she left. I’ll die soon.My heart was doing this stupid, frantic drum solo against my ribs. I couldn’t get it to stop. A cold fear, the kind that sits deep in your bones, had me shivering even though the room wasn’t cold. It didn’t make sense. She was the Alpha Queen. She was brutal and hard and unkillable. But she’d said it like she was stating a fact, like the sun would rise. And the look in her eyes… there was no joke there.I couldn’t just stand there. I pulled on my pants and a shirt, not even caring what they were, and ran after her.I caught up to her in the main courtyard. She was a dark shadow moving toward the tree line. “Nyx! Wait!”She didn’t slow down.I jogged to fall in step beside her. “Talk to me. What does that even mean? How? There has to be something—”She walked faster, her boots silent on the grass. Heading into the thicker forest behind the fortress.“Can you just say something? Anything!”Nothing. Ju

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    I'll die soon

    Nyx’s POVI rode hard. The wind bit at my face, sharp and clean. My horse’s hooves pounded the dirt. I pushed him faster. I needed the speed. I needed to outrun the quiet in my room, the look in Kayden’s eyes. If I went fast enough, maybe I could leave it all behind.Ahead of me, the light cracked open the world.It wasn’t the sun. It was a rip in the sky. A white-gold fire that didn’t burn. It grew until it was all I could see.My horse reared. I held on, but the sound was gone. Everything was silent.A hand came from the light. Just a hand. Pale and perfect.I felt the pull deep in my guts. In my bones. I couldn’t fight it. I didn’t want to.I let go of the reins. I slid off. My feet hit the ground.I walked to the light. I reached out. My fingers touched hers.Warmth shot up my arm. Then a yank, hard behind my navel.The plains vanished.My knees hit cold stone. The air left my lungs. The smell hit me—ozone and old starlight and something sweet, like crushed jasmine. I looked up.T

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    I will make sure it hurts

    Lyra’s POVI took a deep breath outside the heavy oak doors of Nyx’s private suite, trying to steady my hands. The basket I carried felt heavier than it should, filled with all her favorites—jasmine-scented candles that burned slow and sweet, a bottle of rare perfume distilled from midnight blooms in the southern packs, and those little honeyed fruits she used to pop into her mouth during our lazy afternoons. I’d wrapped everything in black silk, tied with a red ribbon. Red like blood. Red like passion.It had been some time since the dining room disaster. it felt like days of pacing my room, replaying her cold words, her indifference. But I knew Nyx. She was fire wrapped in ice. She’d melt for me again. She always did. I just needed to remind her what we had—what no filthy human like Kayden could ever give her.I smoothed my dress. it was deep crimson, low-cut, clinging to every curve. My hair was loose, the way she liked to run her fingers through it. I dabbed a little of the perfum

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    let me lead

    Nyx’s POVI knew exactly where this was headed the moment I stepped into his room.The air was thick with so many emotions. hurt, confusion, raw need. His eyes were dark, stormy, flicking over me like he couldn’t help himself. My skin burned under that look. My pulse thrummed low and insistent between my legs.I didn’t come here for soft words. I didn’t know how to give them anyway.I knew one language that worked when everything else failed.I stepped in close, palms flat on his chest, and shoved hard aiming to push him down onto the bed so I could take what we both needed on my terms.His hands snapped up, caught my wrists, held them firm.“No.”The single word stopped me.I arched a brow, heat already coiling in my belly. “You don’t want it? Fine”I turned, reaching for the door, letting the silk nightgown shift against my thighs.His fingers closed around my arm, pulled me back. “It’s not that I don’t want it,” he said, voice rough, eyes burning. “I want it too much. But I want to

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    He's a wicked man

    Kayden’s POVI didn’t say a word the whole ride back. The night air was cold, but I didn’t feel it. The only thing I felt was this hollow, ringing space inside my chest where my past used to be.A werewolf.The word bounced around my empty head. It didn’t fit. It felt like putting on a coat that belonged to someone else. Someone dead.Suppressed. That was the word the cave scientist used. Like my own self was a weed they kept poisoning so it wouldn’t grow. All those injections. Silas’s calm voice. “This is for your own good, boy. Makes you strong.” He wasn’t making me strong. He was putting a lid on me. Keeping whatever I really was locked in a box.And my family. Wiped out. No survivors.Except me.Silas found me when I was ten. That’s the story. He said he rescued me from a border invasion. I had no memory before that day. Just a blank, fuzzy wall of nothing, and then there he was. My uncle. My savior. The only family I had.Now I wondered if he wasn’t the one who set the fire, just

  • Lusting After the alpha queen    He's a werewolf

    Silence wasn’t empty with him around. It was full of the questions he wasn’t asking, the tension in his shoulders, the way his eyes kept drifting to my face like he was trying to read a book in a language he didn’t know. The healing cut on his wrist was a ghost between us. A ghost I could still see every time I blinked.I led him down to the private stables at the base of the fortress, not the garages. Engines were too modern, too closed off. I needed the open air. I needed to see the land, to feel the miles between me and the mess in my own house.“Can you ride?” I asked, not looking at him as I headed for my mare, Onyx.“Yes,” he said. His voice was still rough from where my hand had been. Good. Let it remind him.“Where are we going?”I didn’t answer. I tightened the girth on my saddle, the leather creaking. You don’t get to ask questions, I thought. Not when I don’t have the answers myself. I couldn’t have something in my territory, sleeping in my rooms, that I didn’t understand.
