CHAPTER 29: THE HARD GROUND

作者: Inkbyjane
last update 公開日: 2026-06-10 16:24:12

The air in the subterranean kitchens of Silver Ridge was suffocating. Dozens of low-ranking omegas and unbonded servants moved through the flickering torchlight like ghosts, their faces hollow and their shoulders perpetually bent under the weight of heavy iron pots and massive sacks of winter grain.

Elena stood at a long, grease-stained wooden table, her sleeves rolled up past her elbows. Her hands, still tender from the canvas wraps she had worn in the Silver Arena, were buried deep inside a

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 71: A SEDUCTION OF SOULLESS HEARTS

    Instead of pushing him away, Elena forced her trembling hands flat against his chest. She didn't shove. Slowly, deliberately, she let her fingers curl into the fabric of his shirt, gripping him tightly. She tilted her head back, grabbing him tighter, completely exposing her throat to him, offering him the vulnerability he thought he was stealing. Use it, a fierce voice whispered inside her. He wants a conquest? Give him a trap. This is your opportunity. Marcus paused. His eyes narrowed in shock as he looked down at her. He had expected her to scream. He had expected her to claw at his face or beg for mercy. The sudden surrender in her eyes threw him off balance. "Not fighting?" Marcus murmured, his thumb tracing a harsh line across her cheekbone. "Have you realized your place so quickly, omega?" "I know exactly who I am, Marcus," Elena whispered, her voice breathless. She looked directly into his eyes, refusing to let him see her terror. "The question is, do you?" Marcus gro

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 70: THE KING'S CURIOSITY

    Silence devolved into a vacuum. No one breathed or moved. The elite guards stationed at the heavy oak doors wrapped their fingers so tightly around their spear shafts that their knuckles turned white. They stared, paralyzed and stunned waiting for the bloodbath that was sure to follow. No one struck Alpha Marcus. No one defied the tyrant of Silver Ridge. And certainly, no omega had ever laid a hand on him and lived to tell the tale. Elena kept her chin high, though her heart battered against her ribs like a trapped bird. Her hand stung from the impact, a sharp contrast to the dead aura radiating from the man before her. Marcus did not move. His head remained tilted to the side where her hand had forced it, his dark hair shadowing his face. Slowly he turned his head back to face her. A dark red imprint of her fingers was already blooming against his pale, chiseled jawline. For a terrifying second, his eyes were dead, empty pits. Then, a slow, predatory grin spread across his li

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 69: FIGHTING FOR A GHOST

    The charcoal silk gown felt like a shroud as Elena dragged herself down the sweeping stone corridor of the royal wing. In her arms, baby Silas slept fitfully, his tiny fist curled against her chest. The coldness radiating through the soul-tether wasn't just an emotional distance anymore—it was a biological void. It felt exactly like the night Marcus had flatlined in the courtyard, a freezing, hollow vacuum where her mate’s towering, possessive presence used to live. Except Marcus wasn’t dead. He was awake, and he had completely forgotten her. “If I cannot feel the bond, you have no right to my bed, Omega. Pack your things.” The brutal finality of his words echoed in her ears, sharper than any blade Devon had ever wielded. He had stripped her of her title, kicked her out of the royal suite, and relegated her back to the status of a kitchen rat in a matter of seconds. The dark magic parchment’s curse had done what no enemy vanguard could achieve—it had completely blindfolded his

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 68: STRANGERS IN LOVE

    The physical weight of Marcus’s Alpha aura crashed into the room like a collapsing stone wall, forcing Elena to take a quick step backward. The golden, volcanic heat that usually wrapped around her like a protective shield had turned into an hostile barrier. There was no warmth left in his presence. His eyes held the fierce, calculating coldness of a warlord reviewing a line of enemy prisoners. The gray mold of Camille’s Bond-Dampening curse had successfully insulated his inner wolf, erasing every single trace of the fated-mate recognition from his mind. "Marcus, please," Elena whispered, her voice a fragile sound against the heavy velvet drapes. She forced her spine into a rigid line of steel, refusing to let her knees buckle under the suffocating pressure of his power. "Look at the cradle. Look at your son, Silas. You know who I am. Fight the fog this time." Marcus did not look toward the cradle. He kept his predatory gaze locked entirely onto her face, his nostrils flaring as h

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 67: THE CURSE OF THE PHANTOM MATE

    The liquefied crimson ink from the black envelope did not just stain Elena’s fingers; it sank directly into her skin like a swarm of microscopic, freezing needles. She tried to fling the melting paper away, but the dark parchment vanished into a thin, foul vapor that smelled of burning copper and rotting southern orchids. A sudden, dizzying wave of nausea hit her, making the granite walls of the master suite tilt violently before her eyes. Elena clutched her head, her breath escaping in ragged, panicking gasps. Inside her chest, the fully reestablished soul-tether violently groaned. It didn't snap, but a thick, unnatural numbness began to creep along the line, like a layer of gray mold choking out a living flame. Camille, her mind whispered in absolute terror as she looked down at her stained palms. She didn't just run. She left a parasitic curse behind. It was an ancient, forbidden alchemical spell known to the dark covens of the southern fronts—the Bond-Dampening curse. It was

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 66: THE GATHERING STORM

    Two weeks of absolute peace settled over the high peaks of Silver Ridge. The physical scars left behind by the second siege were rapidly being erased by the frantic, day-and-night labor of the pack. Under the direct instruction of the vanguard commanders, the shattered eastern gates were completely rebuilt with reinforced ironwood and thick plates of tempered mountain iron, while the blood-stained granite of the central courtyard was scrubbed by dozens of omegas until the stone shone like glass under the cold winter sun. The immediate threat of internal rebellion had entirely vanished, and the territory appeared, from the outside, to be completely secure. Elena was officially reinstated as the undisputed Luna of the pack. The three pack elders, led by the blind Elder Corin, had publicly bowed their heads to her on the grand royal dais in front of thousands of watching warriors, declaring her fully awakened White Queen lineage to be the absolute spiritual anchor of the Vance dynasty.

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 47: THE LUNA ACCUSED

    The heavy metal shields of the vanguard guards formed a rigid, impenetrable wall of iron inside the narrow space of the royal nursery. The scent of fresh, hot blood mingled with the sharp tang of sulfur smoke from the corridor torches, turning the warm room into a tomb. Baby Silas, startled by Cami

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 46: THE STOLEN HAIR

    The morning light did not bring comfort to the royal master suite. It hit the stone floorboards in long, pale slashes that illuminated the dust and the heavy cedarwood smoke. Marcus had already left the bed before the dawn broke, his side of the mattress cold and flat. Through the lingering trace

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 45: A CRACK IN THE FOUNDATION

    The toxic accusation hung in the freezing air of the study like an unexploded mortar shell. Outside the cracked door, Elena felt the stone floorboards tilt violently beneath her bare feet. Her grip on baby Silas tightened in an involuntary spasm of terror, forcing the infant to let out a sharp cr

  • Marked by My Alpha's Father   CHAPTER 44: POISONED WHISPERS

    Two weeks passed, but the toxic scent of southern orchids never truly left the royal wing. Lady Camille did not return to her southern territory. Instead, utilizing her high status as the daughter of the pack’s most vital ally, she embedded herself into the daily operations of the inner keep. She a
