Chapter 31

Cassian’s POV

The silence in the high corridor shattered the moment I kicked through the archway, Lilith’s limp weight heavy and terrifyingly still in my arms.

Her head rolled back against my shoulder, her pale lips parted in shallow, erratic hitches of breath. The pitch-black lines of the Blood-Seal were no longer just crawling; they were pulsing a sickening, dark violet, branching like rotten vines up the side of her neck and creeping past her jawline. Her wolf was drowning bene

    Chapter 41Cassian’s POVThe echo of the heavy oak door closing behind me had barely faded into the spiral stairwell when every hair on the back of my neck stood on end.It wasn't a sound. It wasn't a shift in the mountain draft blowing through the arrow slits. It was a subtle, putrid taint in the air; the sharp, acrid stench of sulfur, burnt copper, and stale blood."Shadow-magic." My hand moved by pure instinct, my fingers wrapping around the leather grip of my broadsword as my wolf surged to the surface with a low, vibrating growl. The shadow-vanguard breach at the northern pass two hours ago hadn't just been a distraction for the garrison; it had been a cover. One of her father's spectral assassins had slipped through the outer perimeter while the guards were occupied at the gorge, slithering into the heart of the keep like a phantom.And it wasn't heading for the gates. It was trailing the exact scent of my Alpha's aura straight toward the lower archives where Master Vane was tr

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "...He Will Collapse The Stasis by Force,..."

    Chapter 40Cassian’s POVThe door to the strategy hall swung open, the heavy iron hinges groaning under the draft blowing off the high ramparts. Brandon and I walked in shoulder to shoulder, the frosty mountain wind still clinging to our cloaks.Lucien was already inside, standing near the high arched window with his arms crossed over his leather chest-piece, his dark silver eyes following Morgana as she unrolled a yellowed leather map across the ironwood table.When Morgana heard our boots hit the stone floor, her head snapped up. She took a quick, subtle step back, her fingers curling into the edge of the parchment as her eyes locked onto mine. The tension from her earlier imprisonment still hovered in her posture, but her strategist's intellect burned sharp behind her eyes."Alpha," Morgana acknowledged softly, dipping her head."Skip the formalities, Morgana," I said, stepping up to the head of the heavy table, leaning my palms flat against the dark wood. "Brandon says the scouts

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "...You Carry my Authority."

    Chapter 39Cassian’s POVThe cold mountain air hit my chest like a splash of freezing cold water as I stepped out onto the high northern rampart.Down in the lower courtyard. , the icy ground still had traces of blood from the blood battlet from earlier on. Sentry fires burned in the stone braziers, throwing jagged light across the soldiers as they sharpened steel, restrapped leather, and hauled iron arrows up the towers. The perimeter was held, but the tension hanging over the keep was thick enough to cut through it.I found Brandon standing alone at the edge of the parapet, his broad arms resting on the cold stone, staring out toward the dark, jagged silhouette of the Northern Ridge. His jaw was clenched so tight the muscle twitched under his skin, his leather breastplate scarred from years of holding my front line.The sound of my boots on the gravel floor could be heard because I wasn't trying to mask an attack to an enemy, as I walked towards him.Brandon didn't look back, but hi

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "I Was Safe..."

    Chapter 38Lilith’s POVI drifted back into consciousness through a thick, warm haze of safety. Not even my father when I thought he was the best made me feel this safe. I heard them. I heard Cassian roar at them for daring to wake me up. I can't believe he will prefer to let the pack burn down in ruins, instead of waking me up.When I finallyregain full consciousness, there was no ash in my lungs. No freezing obsidian dust blowing across a dark void, no spectral claws dragging me down into my father's nightmare. The terrifying, suffocating grip that had anchored his dark blood to mine for eighteen years was quiet, utterly shattered by the silver blade Cassian and I had driven through his shadow in our mind-walk.I was whole. My wolf lay curled peacefully behind my ribs, resting in a quiet, golden warmth that made my entire body feel deliciously heavy. I almost forgot what it felt like to not go through pain.Then, I felt some warmth on my bare feet, his tongue fiddled with the palm

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "I wasn't Doubting You, Alpha."

    Chapter 37Morgana’s POVI looked down from my high balcony, I watched the back and forth from Brandon and Lucien from my cabin in the corridor reaching boiling point. Brandon’s hand hovered above the hilt of his sword, his Beta authority flaring in direct defiance of Lucien, while Lucien stood locked like an iron wall outside the Alpha’s door. For once, Brandon was working with the information I gave him.Neither of them was yielding. The raw, violent tension between the two highest-ranking males stood almost at each others neck giving threats I never knew Brandon possessed. Then, the world shattered.It wasn't a war-horn. It wasn't the sound of steel drawing steel.A sound like rattled thunder erupted from behind the heavy oak doors; of the alpha's chamber, a raw, deafening roar of pure Alpha dominance that vibrated straight through the stone floors and made the iron bars of my balcony vibrate like tuning forks.BOOM.My ears responded to the effect...with an echoing, I thought I

  • Possessed By Him: The Alpha's Trophy   "Fools. Every Last One of You..."

    Chapter 36Morgana’s POVThe moment i heard clicking into place of the iron bolt of my door on the outside of my chamber. The sound drove grave pain into my heart. Why was my brother, letting his guard down because he likes a woman? I stood in the center of my strategist tower, my palms burning where the coarse stone wall had scraped them when Lucien threw me back. I would, have said my room had a deafening silence, but yhe clicking of my sandals and my panting interrupted the silence. The Alpha lay unconscious, bleeding his aura dry for a girl whose father held the leash to her breath. And outside my door, Lucien stood guard, blinded by a quiet, tragic devotion to a female who would bring this entire fortress down around our ears."Idiots," I hissed into the dark room, my chest heaving as hot, bitter tears choked my throat. "Fools. Every last one of you. Lucien you know how much I hate to be locked in any room, yet you did it anyway."I paced the rug in front of the cold hearth, my
