Blood And Ash
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2026-01-29 16:54:59Tears almost escaped from my eyes, seeing a man I had admired since I was little, since I have come into existence hating me for just the mistake of my father, but I wouldn’t let him see how bad I felt as I said out loud immediately, “Lucian, you will take back what you said to me… your chosen mate.”
My voice stayed calm, it was almost sweet, but my heart hammered like it wanted to break free.
But Lucian didn’t flinch. His golden eyes burned through me, and it was cold and merciless. Then he turned fully like the alpha with pride and ego, and with a slow deliberate move, he spit on the marble floor. The wet sound cracked the silence.
“I don’t take orders from snake bloodlines. I can never take orders from Harvey's Bloodlines” he said, each word sharp as a blade like he was directly slashing on my chest.
I forced a breath through my nose, with a little smile twitching at a corner of my lipt. “You love to spit on things you fear.”
His brow lifted slightly, with the smallest flicker of surprise. “Fear? You mistake disgust for fear, this little hybrid.”
That alone almost broke me down. I hate when I'm being constantly reminded that I'm a hybrid “ hmmm... Lucian Grey, I don’t make any mistakes.” My voice carried just enough to echo in the hall. “You can hate me, Lucian Grey, but you can’t unmake what the moon has written.”
A low murmur rippled through the pack. They could feel the air thicken, though only the elders seemed to truly understand what was really happening between us.
Lucian stepped closer, his eyes glowing like molten gold. “When I speak, you stay silent!! When I speak Sophia You shut your mouth!! You are a pawn, not a queen!!”
I squared my shoulders, I'm not going to back down because he's about to become the new alpha, no way. “I am no one’s pawn. I built Sterling Atelier from nothing. I don’t bow to anyone, not even an Alpha.... Lucian, you forgot so soon that I carried Harvey's bloodline?”
The crowd whispered again. I know Lucian isn't taking it down his throat but he's forcing to be calm. His jaw tightened, as he sneered angrily. " Okay...You think a mortal company makes you strong?”
“No,” I said softly. “But my will does. And that’s what rattles you, isn’t it? That I don’t break, like you wish? After you insulted my family that I never shivered? I never wreaked fear?”
He inhaled sharply, it was barely audible, but I caught it. A crack in the stone.
“Careful, Sophia,” he warned, his voice low enough that only I could hear. I wanted to smile seeing him suffocate in anger, but no, I just wanted him to suffocate more for insulting me because of my father's greed.
I stepped closer until I could feel the heat of him. “I’m not the one who’s careful. You are. You feel the bond and you hate that it makes you want me.”
His eyes flashed, like a storm behind them. “You know nothing of what I want, Sophia. You smell betrayal and greed just like your father”
“Oh dear....Then prove it,” I whispered so only he could hear. “Look me in the eye and tell me you don’t feel it. Tell me, that the moon goddess hasn't shown me to you in the dream since the years you went to exile, like a frightened chicken.”
His breath caught. He said nothing.
The crowd stirred, uneasy, sensing the weight between us. Old Marina watched, her ancient gaze already knowing. She already knew about the war between us.
Lucian finally spoke, as his voice was hard and loud for all to hear. “I would rather let the Grey bloodline die than bind it to a Harvey.”
Pain stabbed through me like thousands of silver daggers had been stocked inside my heart, but I stood tall. “Then let it die, Lucian. I will not beg you to accept me Lucian.”
He stared at me, something dangerous flickering behind the hatred, something even he didn’t seem to understand.
A tense silence wrapped the hall until Marina stepped forward, her white robes glowing under the moonlight. She reached for me, and her touch felt like an electric.
“She’s going nowhere, Lucian,” Marina said, her voice calm and powerful. She took my trembling hand and pressed it firmly into his. His muscles locked, and a low growl rose from deep in his chest, but Marina held fast.
“Sophia Harvey is your chosen mate, Alpha Lucian,” she said for all to hear. “I’m sorry. You have no choice." She turned towards the servants that were waiting to be assigned for a job, as she said. "Prepare her for the mating ceremony tonight!”

My Alpha, My Husband Ghost of Her Skin
“Raphael,” I said, and for a second, I was just lost for words. My voice sounded thin, even to my own ears, like a ghost of the man who had walked into this pack only days ago. I never knew my phone wasn't off. The realization made my blood run cold. I had been sitting here, pouring my darkest fears into the empty air, not knowing that my closest friend was listening to every word of my spiral. Just look at me wandering like a lost wolf just because I came to take back my inheritance. I was supposed to be the predator here, the one reclaiming a throne, but instead, I was falling apart over a woman who carried the scent of my enemies.“Alpha Lucian, you called me back but went calm and I heard that word from you,” Raphael said. His voice was steady, but there was a sharp edge to it, the kind of tone he used when he was analyzing a battlefield. Raphael went still on the other end, the silence stretching out between us like a physical weight, but then he continued, “Man, what went wrong
My Alpha, My Husband The Ghosts In The Blood
Lucian’s POV Bang!The heavy oak door slammed shut, and for a moment, the entire room seemed to vibrate with the force of Sophia’s exit. The air she left behind was still thick with the scent of her, that maddening mix of jasmine and something wild that made my wolf want to howl at the moon. It was better the way she left. I need to focus. I can’t let her get under my skin. I can’t let the daughter of a murderer make me forget the blood on the floor of the Great Hall.I ran my hands through my hair, gripping the dark strands and pulling until my scalp stung. I left it messed up, a reflection of the chaos inside my head. I cursed heavily, the words sounding like gravel in the quiet room. How did I let it get that far? I was an Alpha. I was the man who had rebuilt my life from nothing in the human world. I was supposed to be in control.I picked up my phone, my fingers trembling with a mix of leftover adrenaline and pure rage. I dialed the number that had interrupted what could have be
My Alpha, My Husband Burning Under His Gaze
This is all I ever wanted from you Lucian. Call my name like you desire me and let your pain go away. I could feel the heat radiating from his skin, like a burning fever that seemed to melt the very air between us. The way he said my name wasn't with the usual ice or the sharp edge of a blade. It was a low, guttural sound that vibrated deep in his chest, a sound that bypassed my ears and went straight to my soul. It was the sound of a man drowning and finding the only piece of wood in a vast, dark ocean.I gently rested my hand on his arm that he used to pin my neck. His skin was like hot marble, his muscles corded and hard under my touch. I didn't try to pull his hand away. Instead, I leaned into the pressure, letting him see that I wasn't afraid of his strength or his anger. I held his eyes, those swirling pools of gold and silver, saying like a whisper, “Lucian.”He pressed his nose harder on mine, his breathing so heavy and it felt like a storm was trapped in the small space betw
My Alpha, My Husband The Whisper Of A Frozen Heart
That word alone “manipulate” made me cringe. Lucian bringing my mother into this topic was just to make me feel bad. Since coming into existence and into this Raven pack my mom has been disliked because she was a normal human being and rumor said she forced herself on my father that it was never the choice of the moon goddess and that made my father being disqualified to be the alpha of Raven pack. Everyone in the pack looked at her like she was a parasite that had crawled into the royal bloodline and ruined it. Lucian saying that I was trying to manipulate him was him telling me that I was stooping low just like my mom just to get the Luna seat. It was a slap in the face. He was comparing my successful life and my honest feelings to the desperate games of a woman who never understood what it meant to belong to the wolf world.“Lucian, my mom has nothing to do with this,” I said calmly, even though my heart was hammering against my ribs. My mother is a power hungry human, I knew that
My Alpha, My Husband The Ashes Of The Cold Bond
“Sophia, you dare not take advantage of an Alpha asleep, you dare not!”I can see Lucian’s eyes blaring hot as he pointed his index finger at me. The air in the room felt like it was catching fire, thick with the smell of his rage and the scent of the forest after a storm. His chest was heaving, his muscles tight and jumping under his skin like he wanted to reach out and break something. He looked at me with so much disgust that it felt like he was splashing ice water onto my naked soul.Oh, it hurts seeing someone you had wished for forever with seeing you as an enemy. It felt like a thousand tiny needles were stabbing into my heart all at once. My eyes never left his but I fought so hard not for him to see my tears. I had spent years building a wall around myself in the human world. I had built a luxury empire where I was the boss, where people looked at me with respect or fear. I had vowed I can’t be stepped on, that I would never let anyone see me bleed or beg again. But this tim
My Alpha, My Husband A Night The Moon Witnessed
Lucian was just looking at me like a lost alpha that needs help. A weak one and sure I'm going to give him the help that he needs.He sat there on the edge of the bed like a man pulled out of a storm and dropped somewhere quiet. His shoulders were tense, his head slightly lowered, as though he was fighting something inside himself. This was not the fierce Alpha who stood before the pack with fire in his eyes. This was a man caught between memory and duty.I walked to him slowly and sat beside him on the bed. The mattress dipped under our weight, the room breathing around us in silence. I guided his head gently to my chest. He did not resist. His strength softened in my arms, and that alone made my chest ache.My fingers slid into his dark hair, smoothing it back the way I used to when we were younger.“Lucian, my Alpha,” I whispered. “I never knew both of us can still be together like this.”I inhaled him. The scent of his expensive perfume mixed with alcohol filled my senses. Beneath
