Claiming the Alpha King, Chapter 10: Lukas
게시일:
2025-11-29 20:05:00I watched my Queen face down creatures centuries her senior, her spine straight as a blade despite the venom in their words. Pride surged through me—pride and something fiercer, a possessive admiration for this female who had gone from scrubbing floors to standing as my equal in mere weeks. The mark she'd left on my neck throbbed pleasantly, a constant reminder of our mutual claiming that had scandalized the council so thoroughly. Elder Thaddeus turned to me, his weathered face a mask of bare

What they do not tell you about technically dying is that coming back is rough. Elara had phrases for it: cardiac recuperation, haematological recalibration. The truth was simpler. My body had been ordered to restart a process it had stopped, and it resented the demand like damaged machinery forced back into service.Three days after leaving the medical wing, I still woke with the sense that something fundamental had shifted inside my chest. It was not pain. It was an absence with edges, as though my heart had been removed and returned to a space that no longer fitted it. Elara called it phantom sensation. I called it knowing I had been empty.Amelia’s head was on my chest, and had been for most of those three days.She had moved back into our bedroom with the quiet determination of someone who had made a decision and would not be dissuaded. The servants brought trays. Elara came twice a day to inspect the wound at my neck, which was healing with the unnerving s

The ceiling of the medical wing was pale stone.That was the first thing I could catalogue with any reliability: the room before myself inside it. Pale stone. Low lamplight instead of daylight. Amelia’s weight against my chest, warm and immediate and real in the way physical things are real after the kind of journey I had just made back.She was not asleep. I knew her breathing in every form, and this was the breathing of someone lying perfectly still because she was afraid movement might change something. Her hand rested over my heart with deliberate care. I could feel her counting the beats. She had probably been counting them since I opened my eyes.I was alive.The fact of it was still arranging itself into something I could hold. Not the abstract confirmation of a resumed heartbeat, but the exact weight of it: the scratch of the sheet against my arm, the medicinal smell of the wing, the cool air on my face above the warmth Amelia made where she lay aga

I left the forest because there was nothing left to do there.That was the only reason I allowed myself. Not because the bond in my chest had gone cold and quiet, leaving an absence so exact it felt shaped like him. Not because his name had been circling in the back of my mind since I watched Ares fall. I left because Sam Redwood was restrained and breathing, my warriors had the remaining rogues in hand, and there was nothing further that required me.I shifted before I had consciously decided to.Athena came up like a wave and I let her take it. I gave her the run, the forest, the blood-red light still falling through the canopy, because Athena ran towards things rather than away from them, and that was what I needed. Her paws found the ground and she drove us forward with the single-minded speed of a wolf who had one destination and would not be diverted.The forest gave way to the city road. The city road gave way to the outer wall. The palace torches appeared

The clearing had no shadows. That was the first thing I noticed, the absence of something so ordinary I had never thought to name it. Light filled the space around me, soft and sourceless, reaching every corner with the patience of something that had never been asked to explain itself. The grass beneath my bare feet was cool. Not cold. Just present, the way the ground becomes present when you pay attention to it for the first time. I was bare-chested. White trousers, thin, loose around my hips. No weapons. No wounds. That last detail took a moment to arrange itself properly. My hand moved to my flank, my shoulder, my neck, running through the inventory of damage the night had produced in the automatic way of a body trained to assess itself after a fight. Nothing. The skin was smooth beneath my palm. The ache that had been building in my joints since the third engagement in the western forest was gone. The deep exhaustion of a wolf who had run too long and bled to

The pain was centred in my chest.Not metaphorically, not in the loose, unlocatable way of grief. I knew grief was coming. I could feel it waiting somewhere beyond the shock, patient and inevitable, but it had not arrived in its proper form yet. This was more exact than that. It was physical: a cold hollow where the thread of Lukas had been, pressed flat against the inside of my sternum, like a hand lifted from a surface it had always rested on. I had carried his warmth there every day for months. I had stopped noticing it the way you stop noticing the sounds of a house you live in, until the moment every room goes silent.The silence was enormous.Then the power came.It arrived in the same breath as the pain. That seemed wrong, as if one should have followed the other, but there was no sequence, no mercy of order. It tore through me from the ground up, beginning somewhere below thought and rising with the force of a door not merely opening but being ripped clea

I was running on a fuel Amelia had never named but understood perfectly: the hot, clean certainty that came when something threatened what was mine.They had hurt him.That was the whole of it. The sun everything else orbited. They had hurt him, my mate, the black wolf who had met me across a bond neither of us had asked for and had still chosen to hold. Someone had put teeth in his neck. Someone had done it deliberately. I was going to find the one who had ordered it.The rogues still standing between me and the treeline scattered before I reached them, which was the correct response. The ones who did not scatter got what the ones behind me had been getting for the past hour, and I did not slow for any of it. My paws struck the ground hard enough to make it yield. I ran with the blood moon above me, the clearing’s chaos behind me, and their trail sharp ahead.They had made themselves easy to find. Somewhere below the rage, that fact registered: Sam and Ser

I picked at my breakfast, appetite diminished by the knot of tension in my stomach. In five hours, I would meet the wolf who wanted me dead. The private dining room felt unnaturally quiet despite the presence of Lukas beside me and Dominic and Nico seated across from us, their expressions grave a

I dropped to the bed beside her, my chest heaving with exertion. Even after decades as Alpha King, the intensity of mating with my true match left me breathless. Amelia lay beside me, her copper hair spread across my pillows like flame, her skin flushed with satisfaction. Mine. The word echoed th

I strode through the palace corridors, my footsteps echoing against marble as servants and guards flattened themselves against walls in my wake. The rage that had simmered since Amelia mentioned her public whipping threatened to boil over with each step. This Gamma Julian—this dog who had d

I strode through the palace corridors, Amelia's unconscious form cradled against my chest, my fury a living thing barely contained beneath my skin. Each heartbeat pounded with the same rhythm as Ares's enraged mantra:‘Mine. Hurt. Kill. Protect.’Guards flattened themselves against walls as I passe
