LOGINHe’s the Alpha King — ruthless, dangerous, and deadly. She’s the last of a cursed bloodline — destined to destroy the paranormal world. Once every century, the Shadow Bride is reborn, destined to kill her fated mate and bring ruin to the supernatural realm. The only way to stop her is by killing her before the curse develops. King Kaelion captures her, determined to stop the curse, but when her scent reaches him, his wolf whispers one word: Mate; everything takes another shift. She hides her identity as the Shadow bride, and he can't resist falling for her. Every brush of skin, every stolen touch, ignites a fire they can’t control. To want each other is forbidden. To act on it could mean death. Yet their bodies betray them, drawn together by something older than fate. Every heartbeat, every whispered word pulls them closer — until desire becomes a weapon as lethal as the curse that hunts her. He wants to claim her. She wants to resist. But can either survive the forbidden attraction burning between them?

Just when I thought I escaped this problem, he showed up again.Julia quickly pulled me behind her.“Gamma Miles,” she greeted with a slight bow. I frowned at her.Wasn’t he removed from his position, why was she being too respectful?Gamma Miles looked her over, a dark smile on his face.“Seems you haven’t forgotten your place after all,” he said with so much arrogance that almost got me rolling my eyes.Julia didn’t respond to that. She kept her head down as though she was kind of afraid of him, before she asked.“What brings you here, Gamma Miles?”Gamma Miles turned to look at me then, his eyes scanning my face as though looking for even the faintest weakness.I kept my face straight, refusing to blink against his hard gaze.He turned to Julia. “Why is she here?”Julia looked from him to me. “She… I’m training her here as per the king’s orders.”I tried to understand what was going on, but no matter how much I tried, it
~RAVENNA~It took everything in me not to scream and bolt as soon as I saw who it was.There was something about him that always made the hairs on my body stand in fear.He had that icy cold look in his eyes, just like when he had been dragging me away, obviously with evil intent.“Not so fast, princess,” he whispered with a dark smile.I swallowed hard. I tugged at his hand, trying to free myself from his hold, but it only tightened.Gritting my teeth, I hid the fear that was rushing through me, and faced him with a calm expression on my face, even though my heart was pounding.“Are you really going to do that in front of your brother and the elders? Do you think its wise?” I whispered, leaning in to him.For a moment, something flashed across his eyes, something dark and cold.“Are you threatening me?” he threw back, rage rushing through his every word.I smiled at him.“Threatening? C’mon that’s too big a word. I’m just reminding you of what could happen. We won’t want your brother
~RAVENNA~I followed her, unsure of what else to do.Are we still acting or not?However, she kept a straight face, half dragging me towards the servants’ quarters.It was only after we got there that she let go of my hand. Then, she bowed a little awkwardly.I stared at her, not knowing what to say.I looked around, recalling how I had fought with Madame Brown here. For some strange reason, my heart swelled with pride.Aurora made to walk past me, but I drew her back.“Okay, start talking. What’s going on?” I barely restrained myself from glaring at her.Somehow, I couldn’t shake the thought that she knew exactly what she was playing at.“I’m sorry, that was the only way. There was a man there and he’s one of the warriors.”“The warriors?” I repeated with a deep frown. “What have I got to do with the warriors?”She shrugged. “I’m not sure, but I overheard a few of them speaking. It seemed someone had paid them to watch you closely.”I didn’t speak. I waited for her to continue.“Not
~RAVANNA~The moment the door shut, I exhaled shakily. My heart tightened so painfully I put my hand on my chest to numb the pain.I shouldn’t feel this way, this sad for saying those things to him, but why did even the thought of it feel like I was being stabbed over and over.I wanted so much to hug his departing back, to hold him back from leaving.I wanted to ask him to his face why he claimed I wasn’t important, and yet came to find me, acting as though I meant everything to him.Hating him was the right thing to do, he was just playing with my feelings anyway.Yet, I just can’t even imagine hating him. It was just impossible.Forcing myself to calm down, I sat back down on the bed to catch my breath. I forced myself to think of other things, especially the possibility that we’ll be leaving this place.Letting out a deep sigh, I got out of bed. This is still duty time, I have to keep showing up so no one will suspect Luis and I, when we want to leave.As soon as I left the room,
~KING KAELION~I sat there staring at her, trying to figure out what was going through her mind.Her face was closed up, making it difficult for me to understand whatever it is that she has going on in her mind.I felt like I was going crazy, especially with the way she was looking everywhere but m
~KING KAELION~My fists were tightly clenched as the elders kept asking about Ravenna.Each word echoed in my skull longer than it should have, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t dismiss it.“My king, who’s she to you?”“Some say she sleeps in your room…”“Are you using her?”They had no id
~RAVENNA~I waited until the doctor left before I snuck out of the room. As expected, the guards were there, but none of them stopped me.I walked as fast as I could to my room, but just as I turned the corner, I noticed something strange.A shadow, my shadow. Instead of clinging to me like any sha
~RAVENNA~His breath still ghosted my lips, his fingers still resting beneath my chin, when—Bang. Bang. Bang.The sound of the knock jolted us both.Kaelion’s head snapped toward the door, a deep, vicious growl tearing from his chest—one that sounded animalistic.“Your Majesty!” Beta Ronan’s voice
