Vargr followed Lena down the narrow forest path.

After a short walk, they came to a clearing where a large carriage was waiting. Two black horses were hitched to it, and their breath made clouds in the cool night air.

A figure in a cloak leaned against the carriage with his hand on a sword. When he saw Lena, he stood up straight.

"You are late," the man said, and his voice was sharp but familiar.

Vargr's eyes narrowed. The man's face was hidden under his hood, but his stance and the hint of a s

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   62: "Bloodlines and Betrayal"

    A Fragment from the Past"Are you certain of this?" Lord Rhovan inquired, his voice low and grave.She stepped forward with hesitant resolve. "I am certain, my lords. I have heard her speak with my own ears—plans to reveal your secrets. In my heart, I know she is the king’s daughter."A weighty silence fell upon the chamber.Lord Garrick leaned forward, his fingers steepled. "Then we must act swiftly. Should the people learn of her lineage, they will place their hope in her—hope that she might bear a wolf-man. And you all know well what that portends for us.""Let us not be hasty, Lord Garrick," Lord Alister interjected calmly. "First, we must discern what the lady desires in return for such… invaluable knowledge.""A wise suggestion," Lord Rhovan murmured, rising from his seat and approaching the girl. As he drew near, Lydia instinctively stepped back."Do not fear, young one," he said, voice smooth as oil. "I mean you no harm." His hand rose and brushed her cheek, cold as marble. "T

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   61: "The Alpha of all Alphas"

    “It begins,” Jade murmured softly, his voice barely a whisper in the heavy silence.Beta Cedric closed his eyes, pain and regret darkening his features. "We cannot halt it now. Oh, goddess, grant me mercy."Vargr, his body heavy with exhaustion, sat up on the bed. He reached for the water on the nearby stand, but as his hand brushed the vessel, a sharp pain shot through him. His breath caught in his throat as a groan escaped his lips, his hands instinctively pressing against his throbbing skull.Cedric heard it. Jade heard it.They rushed into the room, their concern etched across their faces."You're awake," Cedric breathed, a nervous laugh escaping him, though it was tainted with uncertainty. "He's awake."Vargr's groans grew louder, his body trembling with the raw agony surging through him. His hand reached out for the headboard, and with a crack of splintering wood, it gave way under his strength.“WHERE IS MY MATE?” he bellowed, his voice a tempest of fury. His red eyes gleamed l

    Warning: This chapter contains R-rated content and potentially triggering material. Reader discretion is advised. If you find such themes distressing, feel free to skip this section.“They seek something of him. Every step they take is laced with intention,” said Alpha Darius, turning his back to Uthred. “Any further word?”“Yes, Alpha,” Uthred replied with a bow. “The imposter remains in slumber, and I doubt he shall awaken soon. The pack leaders, however, have declared he fled, unwilling to face justice.”“As expected. They know well he sleeps, yet speak of flight to serve their own ends. The pack leaders craft their truths as they see fit,” Darius murmured, then turned his gaze once more to Uthred.“I could have intervened on his behalf,” he added, a glint of amusement flickering in his eyes, “but I wish to see how dearly he holds this one. The spectacle grows more engaging with every passing moment.”With another bow, Uthred withdrew. As he stepped into the corridor, he nearly col

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   59:!"Justice Wears Many Faces"

    “You have no say in this matter, my Alpha,” Selena said, her voice low and resolute as she hurried after Ethan, who strode swiftly from the castle’s great hall.Her steps were laboured—her belly round with child, her time of delivery drawing near. Word of the trial had reached her ears, and now her husband, upon hearing the full account, prepared to ride to the Dark Tower in Lena’s defence.“I cannot permit her to suffer for a truth she never knew,” he said, his voice weighted with purpose. “Lena is but a human—frail and unmarked by our laws. Even the smallest punishment could prove fatal.”He paused then, turning to her. With gentle reverence, he pressed a kiss upon her hair.“I entrust the affairs of the pack to you, love,” he murmured.A wistful smile touched her lips, sorrow threading through her heart as she watched him mount his horse, the steed’s hooves striking the cobblestones like war drums. In moments, he was gone, swallowed by the morning mist.It was then that she felt it

    "I came as swiftly as the news reached my ears," Lord Jaime said, drawing her into a firm embrace.When they parted, she stepped back, her gaze soft with gratitude. "Thank you for coming, dear friend."He offered a warm smile, then turned to the Beta and gave a respectful nod."I am most grateful you chose to release her rather than subject her to that barbaric and senseless punishment," Lord Jaime said solemnly.Cedric returned the gesture. "It is my duty to protect the pack in the Alpha’s absence. I am glad I chose rightly.""Then we must not tarry," Jaime said, casting a glance toward the fading sun. "We must be gone before word travels faster than our wheels can carry us across the border."He turned to Lena and offered his hand."Wait," Cedric interjected, drawing forth a small glass vial. "I also made every effort to persuade the witch to lift the curse laid upon you. This is the result of her spellwork. It is but a small recompense for the many insults and wrongs you have suffe

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   57: "The Farewell Before the Fall"

    "See that the High Prophetess is returned in safety," she commanded Cedric, who was already mounted upon his steed."At once, my lady," he replied, inclining his head with respect. Then, turning to the men assembled behind him, he barked the order, "We ride!"Within moments, the sound of hooves striking stone echoed through the courtyard as the riders galloped through the castle gates and disappeared beyond.She turned back toward the keep, her voice calm but firm. "And the Alpha, what is his condition?""He remains asleep," Jade replied.She paused, glancing over her shoulder. "Where is he now?""I have returned him to his chamber, mother.""Very well. We shall now see the Luna."But before she could take a step, her son's voice interjected. "The Luna is with him."She halted at once, her breath catching in her throat.---Within the Alpha's chamber, the Luna sat in stillness, her gaze fixed upon him, eye to eye, though his remained closed in sleep."I do not understand why you choos
