~Theo~

Pain greeted me before my consciousness stepped in. It was sharp, seated in the back of my head like a hammer was trying to split my bone in two. I groaned, and dragged a hand across my face, a skull-cracking headache romancing the entirety of my head.

As my eyes opened, everything came back to me in blinding flashes: Storme’s broken expression, her being dragged away, my father’s voice accusing her of treason and condemning her to death.

I shot upright immediately, the migraines suddenly forgotten. Theo and Grace watched with puzzled expression as they tried to hold me still. But that wasn’t the plan for me.

“Theo, wait—!”

Fred’s voice was too late. I was already yanking off the sheets and throwing my legs over the side of the bed. Before I could leave my room, he blocked my path, concern written all over his face. “You can’t just jump out of bed and leave, Theo. You need to rest. You’ve been unconscious since last night.”

“Where is she?” I rasped.

Fred lowered his eyes, atte

Why are we going round in circles. Theo won't resolve anything. Marcellus is obviously going ahead no matter what!

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 92: More than life

    ~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

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 91: The Promise

    ~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

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 88: Destiny

    ~Storme~I didn’t know how long I’d been here. The dungeon didn’t offer much in the way of timekeeping, but I’d counted the times sunlight filtered through the tiny grate high up on the wall. Two days. Maybe three. I couldn’t keep counts anymore.My throat burned. My lips were cracked. My stomach had stopped growling. Now, it just hurt. They hadn’t given me food. No water. Nothing but the cold floor and the stink of dirt and rot for comfort.Theo’s visit had given me a little bit of hope. Seeing him gave me a strength that I’d lacked these past days. And knowing that he was okay made me happy. But now that he was gone, I was back to my old helpless self.I curled tighter into myself, trying to fight the dizziness. But it was no use. That was when it happened again.I stood in a wide open field that looked oddly familiar like the field I used to run to for comfort in the Normadic Wolves. In front of me was the same woman I’d seen before in these visions that I’ve had.This time, there

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 86: Visitation

    ~Storme~The cold was worse tonight. Not the kind that seeped through bones, but the kind that makes you think about the vicissitudes of life. The uneven floor pressed against my spine like cracked, jagged teeth, and each breath I took was filled with the stale, damp air. My wrists ached where the silver chains had rubbed my skin raw, and my lips were dry, cracked. Grace hadn’t been allowed to visit. I hadn’t seen another face all day. Only rats. And silence. And shadows.“Is this really how I’m going to die? Without seeing people that I love?”A choked sob escaped my throat. I was weak. I was too weak to fight. My back was still aching with the strokes of canes that the guards had lashed out on me after the trial, which I learned was the alpha king’s command.That devil in disguise.What kind of man was he anyway? Even if he was furious with y actions, could he not even spare his own son? He had stood there, watching as Karen injected his son with a substance that could be dangerous

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 85: The Trial

    ~Storme~After a torturous night and a nightmare that didn’t seem to end, it was past dawn. I could hear footsteps coming towards me. They were fast and hurried. I crawled out from the corner of the cell where I’d gone to avoid getting wet from the faulty ceiling, and blind-patted my way to the door.The cell door creaked open, and the torchlight stung my eyes. I blinked fast, adjusting to the sudden brightness. Before I could move, rough hands yanked me up by the arm. I winced.“Get up, slut,” a voice sneered.It was a voice that I would recognize even in death. Karen, my biggest antagonist yet.“The alpha king, in his great mercy, has decided to give you a fair trial. Even if we both know that it’s useless, he wants to give you a fighting chance.”The public trial. It was the nightmare of every accused wolf in Castillo Tribe. I wouldn’t call that a trial, because it was just an avenue to let the Tribe people do whatever they deem fit with you before you’re finally sentenced. It was

  • Married to the alpha king, pleasured by his son    Chapter 84: Find it

    ~Storme~This was almost like a second home to me. For someone who had spent the better parts of her growing up life in a dungeon, I guess I could call it just that. I’ve communed with mice and geckos more probably more than any so-called alpha’s daughter, or queen.The dungeon was pitch-black now. The little bit of light from the moon had disappeared, leaving only the sound of water dripping from the faulty ceiling, and the occasional scurrying rat to remind me that I was still alive.I curled tighter into myself, shivering on the cold, rough floor. My skin ached. My lip had split open again. The cramps on my lower belly was starting to act up again, and the nausea was starting to come back in torrents. The smell of everything in the dungeon irritated me.I closed my eyes, and concentrated on counting from 1-100 backwards. It was something that helped me whenever I felt anxious, or agitated. Somehow it brought me a little bit of peace. I felt myself becoming more relaxed, and my body
