Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 116:"Threads of the Past"
"Ysara, wake up," Rosa said.Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the dim light. She was lying on the bed—not on the mat with Lena as she remembered."What happened?"Rosa let out a breath. "You blacked out during the ritual."That had never happened before. Not once."And the girl?" Ysara asked quickly.Rosa shrugged. "She’s gone. The guards came to collect her for tomorrow’s coronation. They’re probably loading their things into the chariots waiting outside." She paused, brows furrowed. "But what really happened? You blacked out while removing a seal? That’s not like you."Ysara reached out for the water. Rosa handed it to her."Because my sister gave up her immortality to place that seal," she said quietly before sipping the water.Rosa blinked. "Thalora did that?"Suddenly, the door burst open.The room went still."Thalora," Lena repeated, her eyes darting between them. "Where did you hear that name? How do you know my mother’s name? And... your sister?""You were eavesdropping?
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 115: "Magdalena's Truth"
The day before the coronation dawned with quiet foreboding. Ravena sat in the drawing room, lost in troubled thought. Her mind wandered restlessly, weighed down by the gravity of her past misdeeds toward the future queen. She knew well how deeply she had wronged her. What if, in a bid to shield herself from the queen’s cold and inevitable vengeance, she secured a title so high that none would dare touch her? What if she were to rise to the station of Varkoness? After all, she was Uthred’s chosen mate. Should such a union be formalized, it would grant her untouchable status—making it difficult, if not impossible, for the queen to bring retribution upon her.Silence held her company. Her fingers trembled faintly."My lady," a servant spoke softly, "Lady Elara and Lady Valaria await you."Without reply, Ravena rose and departed the chamber.During their gathering, amid light conversation on riches and idle diversions, Ravena remained withdrawn. Her silence weighed heavily on the room."
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 114: “Her Child, Her War”
The rain lashed against the moving chariots as they approached the High Prophetess’s mansion. The downpour was relentless, a thunderous curtain that matched the turmoil in Milicent’s heart.She sat quietly, staring out the rain-blurred window, her face pale, lips pressed into a tight line.The war was over—or so it seemed. To the Wolf Clan, it marked peace, triumph, the dawn of a new era. But to Milicent, it was the beginning of another storm… one that had fallen directly on her friend.How much suffering could one woman endure?From birth to now, Lena had known only pain. And now—just when she should have been rejoicing, basking in her new title as Luna Queen—tragedy struck like a blade to the heart.Her unborn child was gone.The chariots stopped abruptly. Guards and servants leapt down first, umbrellas useless against the wind and fury of the sky. Milicent followed, running through the mud and rain, heart pounding as they rushed toward the room where Lena was kept.They were still

"Prince Darius’s brother, Vargr, has relinquished the throne, granting the right of kingship to his elder brother, as is proper," the royal healer proclaimed.A wave of murmurs swept through the gathering."We have all seen it with our own eyes," said Alpha Ethan, rising to his feet. "Vargr bears the mark of the Wolf-Man. That alone is a sign of his worthiness to rule. Are you now proposing we change the sacred tradition?"Others joined in, voices growing louder with questions and distrust."My lords," the healer said with composure, "Vargr has surrendered his claim. He desires not the crown. That decision was made of his own will."The hall fell still."How are we to believe such a claim?" asked Solen, eyes narrowing as he stood. He pointed towards Darius, who remained silent at the center of the dais. "He does not speak. Nor does Vargr stand here to affirm it himself."All eyes turned to Darius.He stood as a statue, unmoving. Though his body stood among them, his thoughts were lost
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 112: A Brother’s Sin
"What would I have done without you, Cedric?" Vargr asked as his boots struck the stone floor, echoing through the narrow halls of the tower. He moved swiftly, checking each corner of the rooms with sharp eyes. It had been Cedric who had urged him to search here, in the least expected place.And that suggestion had come only after they had scoured every location his brother was known to frequent."Well," Cedric replied, "I considered the matter from the enemy’s vantage, and the answer presented itself."They paused."Thank you, my friend," Vargr said. "You have done much for me, more than I can ever repay."---Darius’s gaze darkened, and the red hue of his eyes deepened as the wolf within him stirred and rose to the surface."If you wish to be king," She growled, "have your man remove the boundary."This girl. Ever defiant, ever bold enough to challenge him. Were it not for his brother, she would have long been dead. But this time, she had trespassed a line he would not permit."How
Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in 111: “The Bargain of Kings”
Four Hundred Years Ago"Steady now," came the calm voice of the Ancient One as she positioned the young boy before a tall oak."Focus your mind. Let it reach inward, and you shall feel the fire awaken within."The forest was still. Only the rustling of leaves answered her words.The boy stood in silence, brow furrowed, lips tight in concentration. A shimmer of cold air surrounded him, and pale webs of frost began to form around the bark of the tree, glimmering in the sunlight.He let out a sigh, shoulders falling."I cannot do it, Mother."The Ancient One, her eyes soft and ancient as the stars themselves, placed a gentle hand on his head."You will succeed another time, my son. Come, let us return."They turned, but halted at once.A man stood at the edge of the clearing, half-shadowed beneath the trees."That man is here again, Mother," the boy said, voice low.The woman bent beside him and whispered, "Vargr, remain here and continue your practice. I shall speak with him."Vargr nod
