Shadow on the Throne

last update Last Updated: 2025-06-17 03:16:42

Meanwhile back in the realm…

The king hadn’t moved in weeks.

No improvement. No flicker of lucidity. No escape from the prison of shadows festering inside him.

The chamber—once a holding room for ancient weapons—had become a tomb of whispers. Leo lay chained by Shina’s binding light, unmoving, but never quiet. The shadows inside him writhed and fed on his torment, his fury, his grief. Sometimes, they spoke through him. Names. Curses. Promises of vengeance.

And sometimes… just silence. The kind that scraped under your skin.

No guards stood at his door anymore.

The last two were found strangled by their own shadows—expressions of terror twisted across their corpses. Since then, no one dared stand watch. Only Shina dared to enter.

Zane sat now at the long table in the Great Hall, surrounded by the regional Alphas and council members—most restless, all suspicious. His shoulders ached. His temples throbbed. He hadn't seen Ruby, his mate, in three nights. Had barely slept in five.

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   Lila’s Mirror

    Lila’s POVWe lay tangled minutes later, a heap of sweat and blood and lust, our limbs knotted like vines choking the last breath out of sanity. The makeshift mattress was half off the frame, the air thick with the scent of sex and something deeper—something dangerous. Like ozone before a storm. Like violence held by the throat.His chest rose and fell beneath mine. One hand sprawled lazily over my ass, the other rubbing slow, absent-minded circles across my back, like I wasn’t the reason his world had just cracked open. His skin was hot, flushed, and damp. Still trembling from what we did. What we are.I dragged a finger down his chest, letting my clawed nail skim his nipple, watching it pebble. Then I circled it, soft and slow, until his breath hitched.“Tell me your story,” I murmured, lips brushing his ear. “Why are you really after my sister?”His body stiffened. The hand on my butt flexed. The other dragged over his face like he could scrub the truth off it.“Fuck…” he muttered.

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   Riding My Villain

    Lila’s POV His scent hit me like a drug—dark spice, smoke, steel. Every nerve in my body lit up like a wildfire. My wolf rose so fast and hard inside me that I couldn’t breathe. Mate. I didn’t think. I couldn’t. The pull roared through my bloodstream, louder than reason, stronger than pain. My limbs moved before logic returned, before sanity had a chance to weigh in. I launched. Teeth bared, body trembling, I slammed into him. He stumbled back with a grunt, caught completely off guard. “What the fu—ARGH!” My fangs tore into the curve of his neck. I bit hard. Blood filled my mouth, hot and metallic and perfect. My fingers clawed into his shoulders as he bucked and screamed, trying to fling me off like some rabid animal. He didn’t know. Didn’t understand. But I knew. The taste of him—his blood—seared itself into my soul. “FUCK!” he howled, grabbing my arms and slamming me against the stone wall. I held on tighter. Snarling. Sinking in. Marking him. Claiming him.

    Richard’s POVAs soon as she left, we got to work.Daniel had moved fast—too fast, maybe. The moment she stepped out the door, he confirmed what we all feared: She’s not Ivy. She’s not my daughter.She looked like her. Moved like her. Hell, even smelled like her—mostly. But there were cracks. Hair parted wrong. The way she walked too confidently, like she didn’t carry the trauma Ivy did. The real Ivy, my daughter, never liked strong perfume. This one bathed in it.Daniel’s investigation sealed it: Ivy Blackwood had a twin sister. One we never knew existed. One who’d been playing us like a fucking violin.Questions swirled like a damn hurricane in my head:When did the switch happen?Why?Where is my daughter?!We had a plan. Daniel was to lure her to a safe location under the pretense of meeting privately. Once there, he’d trap her—get answers. Confession. Anything.We waited for his call to tell us the next move.It never came.Marcus paced the floor like a caged animal, fists clench

    Connor’s POV“…What did they do to you, Aria?” I muttered, asking no one in particular.Dorothy let out a shriek as I doubled over, still gripping myself in breathless pain. She darted to my side, her voice breaking into frantic sobs.“Connor! Oh my god—Connor!” “You lunatic!” she cried, eyes darting between me and Ivy. “You’re bleeding. Are you bleeding? Why would she do something so wicked?”“I’m fine,” I grunted, slapping her hand away. Still breathless.“No, you’re not!” she wailed. “Your… man parts! She kicked our future bloodline! That’s not fine!”Our what now?She turned sharply, wild eyes locking onto Ivy. “Why?! What kind of monster are you?!”But Ivy just stood there, her hands balled into fists, her jaw tight, eyes flickering with something unreadable—anger? Guilt? Triumph?Mr. Ryland scoffed from behind them, folding his arms. “That’s exactly what he gets,” he said coldly. “Coming into my house, acting like some street hero. Thought he could play smart and hijack my serv

  • Stuck Between Two Alphas   What Did they Do to You?

    Connor’s POVI pulled Mr. Ryland up by the collar. He slapped my hand away, nearly stumbling again, but I held him, keeping my voice low, steady—barely.“There’s a reasonable explanation,” I said.The words dropped like a stone into a lake. Everything went still.No one spoke.No one breathed.Even the guards, half-raised guns and shocked expressions frozen in place, waited.Ryland’s jaw flexed. “It better be good enough to keep me from pressing charges,” he growled, straightening his blazer. “Because as far as I’m concerned, you just assaulted a state official. And I will have you arrested.”Dorothy’s face was streaked with mascara and fury, still cradling her cheek like the pain was fresh. She snapped, “What the hell is wrong with you, Connor?! What came over you?!”Instinct.That’s what it was.But I hesitated.How do I say it?She’s my mate.No. Rejected. Broken. Lost. Whatever she is now… how do I explain this to humans?I cleared my throat. “The truth is… she’s family.”A gasp r
