Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 30: The Law of the Tie
The air didn't just vibrate—it broke.One second I was bracing for the cold bite of steel against my neck, and the next, a suffocating wave of powerful aura slammed through the clearing. The executioner’s broadsword flew from his grip, clattering uselessly against the frost-bitten grass. The guards guarding the perimeter dropped to their knees, gasping for air they suddenly couldn't reach, and even Jarek stumbled back a step as the pressure hit us all. I squeezed my eyes shut, my chest heaving against the scorched fabric of my gown, my heart hammering so hard against my ribs I thought it might burst. I didn't open them until the roaring started, it was a deep, feral sound. A beast tore straight through the fog at the edge of the treeline. Golden-grey fur matted with frost, eyes burning with a molten, furious amber, it cleared the distance between the trees and the execution post in two terrifying strides. Then threw its massive weight straight into the executione
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 29: The Edge of Silence
I'd been locked up for 3 days now. The dungeon didn't have windows, but you learn to measure time by the cold.It starts in your toes, crawls up through your ankles, and eventually settles behind your ribs with absolutely no intention of leaving.I sat on the damp dirt floor of my cell, my back pressed against the freezing stone, and listened to the quiet. 'Twenty-one years of surviving,' I thought, pulling my knees tight against my chest to keep the torn fabric of my emerald gown from riding up. 'And you ended up right back where you started. On the floor, in the dark, waiting for someone else to decide what happens to you.'I didn't even have the energy to laugh at the irony.The welt on my shoulder where Jarek's guard had struck me with his riding crop still throbbed with a dull ache. My throat was dry, my mouth tasted like dust and copper, and the silver Luna mark on my neck—the very same mark that had once pulsed with a strange, electric heat whenever Dominic was nea
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 28: A Seer in the Dark
A lantern flickered into view, illuminating Sarah’s pale, tear-streaked face on the other side of the bars. Gideon stood directly behind her, a ring of iron keys clinking in his large hand as he worked the lock.The door swung open, and Sarah dropped to her knees right in the dirt, gathering me into her arms before I could even stand."Goddess, look at you," she sobbed, her hands trembling as she touched the bruise forming on my shoulder, checking my pale face, my shivering frame. "What have they done to you?""I didn't do it, Sarah," I choked out, my voice raspy from hours of silence, tears finally spilling over my lashes as I held onto her. "I swear to you on my life, I didn't kill Dominic.""I know, my dear, I know," she wept, pressing a kiss to my forehead. "But please... you have to tell me the truth. Why were you in his study that night? What happened between you two?"I looked into her warm silver eyes—the same eyes Dominic had—and the last wall inside me completely
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 27: The Interregnum
The air in the foyer went dead cold, the kind of quiet that usually comes right before a storm tears the roof off a house."Seize the rogue!" Elder Jarek’s voice slammed against the stone walls as he bellowed and the only thought in my mind at the time was the fact that in the space of 30 seconds, I had gone from being called Luna, to rogue."Lock her in the deepest cell of the dungeon until the full council decides her execution!" Jarek roared at the guards."She's the Luna of this pack!" Sarah’s voice cracked, raw and bleeding with a mother's grief, as she tried to push herself up off the floor in front of me. "You will not lay a finger on her, Jarek!""She lost that title the second her Alpha died under suspicious circumstances!" Elder Bram stepped forward, his massive, scarred frame blocking the bottom of the grand staircase. He drew his broadsword, the heavy steel scraping against the scabbard with a sound that made my teeth ache. "And under the Interregnum Law, with
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 26: The Price of Silence
I watched from the high arched window of my room as the dust kicked up behind their horses.Dominic rode at the absolute front of the squad, his broad shoulders squared, his dark cloak snapping against the cold morning wind as they galloped through the gates toward the eastern frontier. I pressed my forehead against the freezing glass, my fingers digging into the stone sill until my nails turned white.'He didn't listen,' I thought, as my heart began hammering behind my ribs. 'I stood in his study, baring my soul, and he treated it like a fairy tale.'Now he was riding straight into a bloody execution.Panic clawed violently at my chest, but underneath it was something infinitely worse: complete, crushing helplessness. In this massive stone fortress, I was nobody. I had no rank, no authority, and no army to command. I couldn't ride out after twenty trained warriors and demand they turn back. I couldn't make the Elders listen to an orphan rogue who hadn't even shifted yet.
Mated To My Enemy's Rival Chapter 25: Into the Mouth of the Nightmare
I didn’t bother looking up from the map spread across my desk.“You have five minutes, Cassandra,” I said, keeping my voice as cold and flat as the stone walls surrounding us. “Make them count.”The raid was tomorrow morning. The final operational maps for the eastern frontier were laid out in front of me, every patrol line plotted, and every guard shift accounted for. I was operating on barely three hours of sleep, ridiculously tight margins, and a patience that had worn down to nothing but paper-thin threads. The last thing I had time for was whatever dramatic explanation Cassandra had marched in here to deliver.When the guard had knocked to announce she was asking for an audience, every logical instinct in my head had ordered me to send her away. I was an Alpha preparing for a critical border raid operation, not a husband entertaining a wife who spent the last two weeks treating me like a ghost in my own hallways.And yet, the word 'Yes' had left my mouth before my brai
