The Eyes Under Her Skin

Corvin’s voice coming from her mother’s body shattered the last fragile piece of control Aira had left.

“Now the line is ready.”

Kael’s crimson power flared so violently the corridor flashed red. Marcus stepped in front of the stairwell. Rowan swore under his breath. Theron’s blade lifted. Even the basin woman looked shaken now, her face pale as she stared at the woman half-risen from the seam.

Aira could barely move.

The hand still locked around her ankle was ice-cold a

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy One: Already Inside the House

    Already inside the house.The words from the child in Aira’s womb seemed to freeze the corridor in place. The black seam under their feet was still open, the hidden passage in the wall still breathing cold air, and the woman wearing her mother’s face was trembling now as if the truth had struck her harder than anyone else in the room. Aira could barely stand. Kael held her with both arms, his body rigid with fury, his crimson power pulsing around them in fierce protective waves, but even that was not enough to steady the terror rising through her. If the root gate was already inside the house, then nowhere was safe. Not the corridor. Not the chamber below. Not even the walls around them. Her blood felt too hot, then too cold, then hot again as the seal in her chest throbbed like a second heart trying to tear free. “What do you mean, inside the house?” she whispered, and her own voice sounded thin and broken in the dark. The thing in the floor wearing her face smiled with terrible calm

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Seventy: The Root Gate Remembers

    I know where the root gate is.The words came from inside Aira’s womb in that same impossible voice, and the corridor seemed to stop breathing all at once. Aira staggered as a violent pulse tore through her chest, through the bond, through the strange living seam that had opened inside her blood. Kael caught her before she could fall, both arms locking around her with desperate force, and she felt the heat of his power gathering around them like a shield that could not quite keep the dark out. Her mother in the seam below made a sound of pure grief, and the woman at the end of the hidden corridor wearing her face went still, as if the words had struck something ancient inside her too. Even Corvin had lost the last of his control. He stood frozen, pale and rigid, staring at Aira as if the child in her womb had just spoken a language he feared to hear.Aira could barely force air into her lungs. “What did you say?” she whispered, though she was not sure whether she was speaking to the c

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Nine: Open the Door

    Open the door.The words came out of Aira’s mouth in a voice that was hers and not hers at the same time. The corridor went silent around her. Kael froze so suddenly that she felt the shock of it through his arm around her waist. The black thread touching her skin burned once, then sank deeper, like something had finally found the place it had been searching for. Aira gasped and bent forward, one hand flying to her stomach. The child inside her was awake now, fully awake, and the presence inside it pulsed against her like a second heart trying to force its way to the surface. Her mother in the seam below went white with horror. “No,” she whispered. “Aira, do not let it speak through you.”But Aira could already feel the memory opening.It was not like remembering a moment. It was like being pulled into a room that had been sealed inside her skull for years and finding the air inside still warm with the breath of the past. The corridor around her blurred. The hidden passage behind the

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Eight: Let Me In

    Let me in.The words rippled through Aira’s mind like cold water pouring into a wound. The black seam beneath her feet widened at once, and the pressure inside her chest split into something sharper, something that felt less like pain and more like recognition. Kael grabbed her before she could stumble forward, his arms locking around her with desperate force as crimson power surged around him in a violent wave. The corridor lights flickered red and then dimmed to a trembling glow. Aira could barely breathe. The baby inside her had gone perfectly still, and that stillness terrified her more than movement ever had. It felt as if every living thing in the room was listening to the same voice, waiting for the same answer. Her mother strained against the seam below, tears streaking down her face as she shook her head hard. “Do not answer it,” she begged. “If you open that memory, it will take the rest of you with it.” The woman in the hidden corridor smiled with Aira’s face, and the sight

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Seven: Come In

    The words came from inside her child with a calm that made Aira’s blood run cold.Come in.Her whole body locked. Kael shoved himself in front of her at once, crimson power exploding around him in a wall of violent light, but the tiny hand reaching from the black ring did not stop. It stretched farther, thin fingers trembling as if it knew exactly where to go. Aira could feel her child moving inside her now, not with fear, but with a terrible, welcoming pull. The sensation hit her like a sickness. Her stomach tightened, her seal flared, and for one shaking second she saw the shape of the thing inside her womb not as a baby, but as a door opening from the inside out.“No,” Kael snarled, his voice rough with panic. “You do not touch her.” He struck the air between them with a burst of crimson force, and the corridor shook hard enough to rattle the walls. The hand from the ring jerked back for half a second, then came forward again, slower now, more certain. The child in the seam smiled

  • Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six: The Voice Inside Her Mouth

    Aira went rigid as the words came out of her own mouth.Mother, choose.For one terrible second, no one moved. The corridor seemed to contract around her, the hidden passage behind the wall, the seam in the floor, and the cracked ceiling above all pressing in as if the house had decided it was finished waiting. Kael turned sharply toward her, his face draining of color so fast it made her stomach twist. “Aira,” he said, but his voice sounded far away, as if he were calling from the other side of deep water. She tried to answer him and found that her throat would not work. Her seal was burning again, hot and sharp, and the child inside her was no longer calm. It was awake, trembling, and somehow listening to the same voice that had just spoken through her lips.The woman in the hidden corridor smiled with Aira’s mother’s face, and the expression was so cruelly familiar that Aira felt tears sting her eyes. “There,” it whispered softly. “Now the line is speaking for itself.” The mother t

    “It has found the heir.”The voice that came from Elder Soren’s mouth did not belong to him anymore.Aira felt the words hit the bond like a strike. The seal inside her flared hot, and the baby answered with a sharp, startled pulse that made her gasp. Kael caught her instantly before she could stum

    Malik’s voice came from behind them.Soft.Calm.Too calm.Aira turned so fast her pulse nearly tore itself apart. Kael did the same, crimson power already crackling along his hands. Marcus and Rowan spun in opposite directions, and Theron moved like a blade drawn from a sheath.At the far end of t

    The name landed like a curse.Malik.For one full second, nobody moved.Then Kael’s expression changed.Not confusion.Recognition.The kind that made the air go cold.“The advisor?” Rowan said, sounding half sick. “You mean the advisor-advisor?”Aira barely heard him. Her whole body had gone still

    Aira’s breath caught so sharply it almost hurt.Who?The question hung in the corridor like a blade suspended over their throats. The thing inside Nessa smiled wider, smoke twisting around her face as if it were enjoying the fear it had planted. Behind it, the keeper remained still in the doorway,
