~Theo~

I wiped my hand clean on a white handkerchief, shaking off the last remnants of the blood clinging to me.

“What’s going on?” I asked, turning to the guards.

One of the guards who had gone to check out the alarm, stumbled forward. “The palace vault, My Prince. It’s on fire!”

My body stiffened as I listened to the guard speak. The vault was close to where Storme’s body had been taken. If that was where she was, then there's a huge possibility that the fire might burn her body as well.

Without another thought, I broke into a sprint.

“Theo!” Fred’s voice rang out behind me. “It’s dangerous! Storme is already dead. The fire burning her body won’t matter now.”

But it mattered to me. Even in death, she deserved peace. Not this.

I shoved past the chaos, dodging the guards as they worked hard to put out the fire. The heat seared my skin, but I didn’t stop. When I reached the room, I heaved a sigh of relief.

The fire hadn’t touched her yet.

Storme lay on a tiny bed, draped in ceremonial

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 94: Choices II

    ~Karen~He stepped closer, towering over her. "You will leave Theo on your own accord. Forever."Storme's fingers tightened on the blanket."You have a choice," the king said coldly, wasting no time. "Stay here and destroy Theo’s life… or leave him forever and walk free."Storme blinked, slow and heavy, like she wasn’t sure if she heard right."If you ever see him again," the king continued, voice sharp, "he will be stripped of his title, his fortunes, and his name. He’ll be nothing. The only thing that he'll be in this Tribe is a disgrace."Storme opened her mouth, but he cut her off with a flick of his hand. "You will not speak," he said. "Not until you understand what’s at stake."I watched her closely. She paled, her fingers trembling just slightly where they gripped the blanket."Do you love him enough," the king said, his voice dropping cruelly, "to ruin him?"Storme shook her head slowly, her hair falling across her face."Then you know what you must do," he said.He turned on

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 93: A choice

    ~Karen~This had better be a fucking joke!It was supposed to be today. The day that I should be finally rid of that parasite in this palace. This palace should be rid of one irrelevant thing, but why was I hearing flying rumors about Theo taking someone out of the dungeon?I strode with purpose to the cell that she was supposed to be in, but there was nothing. Not even a shadow. The bitch had been taken out again. She had escaped on the day that was supposed to be her death day. Theo had gone overboard once more with the stupid witchy love of his.The king must not be aware of such development if he hadn’t said something. He must still think that the witch was still in er cell. I had to let him know of this development immediately. maybe he could force her out and order an immediate execution.With that in mind, I marched towards the king’s side of the palace. I found him in his study, hunched over a map, his hands pressing hard against the table."Your Majesty," I greeted, stepping

    ~Storme~I woke to the sound of soft humming. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming again. Theo sat in the chair beside my bed, his eyes fixed on me, almost never blinking. I shifted, wincing as pain fired up my side."Hey," he said, voice rough."Hey," I rasped.He brushed his thumb along my cheekbone. "How do you feel now?""Like I got trampled on by a horse," I said dryly and shifted slightly, wincing. "Did you… stay up all night?"He nodded and leaned forward, elbows resting on his knees. “I couldn’t sleep a wink. I had to make sure that you were okay all through the night.""You didn’t have to," I muttered, looking away."I did," he said simply. "I couldn’t leave you."His words warmed my heart. Theo was my safe space, and with him, I didn’t feel the need to be the hard, protective Storm. I felt like he could be my shield, and my refuge. I remembered something and a little smile crept up my face.“What,” Theo prompted.I peered at him through my lashes. “Were you singing me a lu

    ~Storme~I blinked against the soft evening light pouring into the room. I blinked against the warm light. My body ached all over. For a second, my heart raced, and my body tensed, expecting cold chains and the stench of mold. But no. I wasn’t on a cold, wet floor. I was on a bed. The sheets were warm, and this wasn’t a dream.I turned my head, slow and cautious, and my eyes fell on Theo, head down, body draped half off the bed, gripping my hand like it was the only thing keeping him alive, gripping my hand like a man afraid I'd vanish if he let go. That was when I remembered. Theo had taken me out of the dungeon, defying the orders of the alpha king.A tiny sound escaped me. Half sob, half sigh.Theo jerked upright so fast he nearly fell. His hazel eyes locked on mine, wide and wild. "Storme," he breathed, voice cracking. "You're awake."Before I could react, he lunged forward, gathering me up like he could fold me into himself. His arms crushed me against him, his face buried in my

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 90: For her

    ~Theo~By the time I left my father and stormed out, I found Grace and Fred waiting outside my door. There was uneasiness on Grace’s face which turned to relief immediately she saw me approaching.“He didn’t kill you,” she exhaled. “We were so worried about what went on in there. The whole palace could hear your brawls.”“I wanted to do the killing.” I passed her, ignoring the bewildered expression on her face as I spoke. I nodded to Fred, who was leaning stiffly against the wall. “I need to get Storme out. I can’t let her spend another minute in there.”“The king didn’t agree to release her?” Grace asked.I shook my head. “He was purely adamant. I cannot sit around and hope that he can change his mind about executing her. I’ll have to do this my own way.”Fred fell in beside me. “But how? The dungeons are heavily guarded. And if the king finds out—”“Let him find out.” My voice was filled with venom. “Since he says it’s going to be over his dead body, he should better be prepared to

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 89: The Ultimatum

    ~Theo~I stomped back to my room to find Fred and Theo still waiting. My heart was still boiling with the condition that I found Storme in. I’d already resolved within me to confront my father and press for her release. I wasn’t going to let her spend another night in there with her condition.The moment I declared my plan to them, Grace gasped in horror and shook her head. “No, Prince Theo. You cannot do that.”“Why not? She looks like she’s not going to survive another day in there.”“She’s your father’s queen,” Grace whispered. “And now he knows she’s also your mate. I don’t think he’ll take it lightly with you if you confront him so brazenly.”“I don’t care what he believes,” I growled. “She’s mine. And he had no right to touch her.”Fred placed a hand on my shoulder. “You’re not thinking straight, Theo. If you charge in there now, in front of the council—”“Then they’ll see exactly what kind of king he is.”I shrugged him off, shoving the door open, fury boiling under my skin lik
