And then, without hesitation, he rose.

He came to her slowly, and there was certainty in his steps while the weight of years and hunger and anger bled from each one. His presence filled the room, and heat came off him like a storm that was barely held back.

She stood still, and her breath was caught while her heart pounded. He reached for her, and his rough hands held her face with gentleness while his thumbs moved over her cheeks.

For a moment, he only looked at her.

Then his lips came down on

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   94: What Remains Unforgiven

    Crimson Moon Pack- Court.“Alpha, you cannot take her as wife,” Lord Baldric began solemnly, standing tall amidst the gathered council. “Yes, we may join Alpha Darius in his cause, yet what he has offered thus far is meagre. We must demand more.”He paused, letting the silence weigh before continuing.“We ought to reclaim what was once ours. When we came to him seeking truce, he demanded both our lands and the Beta’s daughter. It is only just that we now use this moment to demand restitution.”A heavy silence fell.Alpha Ethanasius regarded them all in turn, his expression unreadable. He spoke not a word.Baldric cleared his throat, pressing onward. “Alpha… I understand the affection you bear for her. But let us not forget her past. The woman in question committed adultery. She lay with another whilst married to the Alpha of the Shadow Fang Pack. I daresay they cast her out for shame. Now, they offer her to you, hoping to exploit your feelings for their gain.”At last, Ethanasius spok

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   93: The Forgotten One

    Dark Tower.Lord Rhovan strode into the Sacred Altar, his cloak trailing behind him. The servants bowed low as he passed.“Have you reached her?” he demanded at once.The mage turned slowly, his hands still glowing faintly with lingering power. “Aye, my lord.”Rhovan stepped closer. “Where is she?”The mage closed his eyes, as though reliving the vision. “In a village. A human settlement by the name of Eldenreach.”“That is near…” Rhovan muttered, brows furrowing. “She has been close to us all along.”A faint smile touched the mage’s lips. “The Ancient One wears many faces, my lord. She may walk as any among us.”Rhovan’s gaze sharpened. “It is but a small village. I will seek the human king’s aid in bringing her forth.”The mage’s smile faded. “The crystal can not bind her. She forged it long before our time and she's immune to it.”A heavy silence fell.Frustration darkened Rhovan’s expression. The human king would do nothing. He feared her—as all did—for she could vanish at will. A

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   92: The Reawakening of the Ancient One

    Hearing that Ethan had come to claim her, she turned her face away, silent tears slipping down her cheeks.Vargr... I know not what to do. How shall I keep them from taking me without shame or struggle? How?The door creaked as Lady Miriam entered.“He is here,” the lady murmured, stepping aside to admit Alpha Ethan.At once, she rose and bowed low.The woman who stood before him was but a ghost of the girl he had once known. No longer the vibrant creature he had left behind, but a hollow wraith—her once-rich lips blanched, her skin pale as milk, her hands roughened and raw.“Oh, merciful gods,” he breathed, crossing the chamber in swift strides. “What have they done to you?”She stepped back, shrinking from his touch.“Alpha Ethan,” she said, voice trembling.“Yes, my love. It is I—your Ethan,” he murmured, reaching toward her.She flinched. “You are not my Ethan. You are Alpha Ethan of the Crimson Moon Pack. And I am left no choice in this matter. Marry you—or die.”“I would never f

    Old MountainCedric stood at the base of the ancient mountain, its towering peaks hidden in the haze of a cloudless sky. The summer sun bathed the jagged landscape in gold, casting long shadows over the rough terrain. The mountain loomed like the weary bones of some forgotten titan, its surface scarred by centuries of weather, silent in the wilderness.Cedric, cloaked in the grime of travel, paused and took in the view. His eyes followed the winding path up the mountainside, a dark line leading toward the shadowed peaks.He could’ve shifted into his wolf form and scaled the mountain with ease, but the thought gave him pause. It would tear his clothes to shreds, leaving him exposed. No, he would take the path of human endurance—step by painful step.By the time he reached the upper slopes, the sun had begun its descent, casting the land below in soft amber. His muscles burned from the climb, each movement a reminder of the strain he'd endured.He fumbled for the flask at his side, his

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   90: The Return of Lady Scarlet

    The sound of chariot wheels echoed through the stone-paved courtyard, drawing the attention of every servant stationed along the castle walls. As the carriages rolled to a halt within the inner compound, all stood at attention, hands folded, heads bowed in disciplined silence.It had become custom, since the Luna’s ascension to her place beside the Alpha, to receive ladies of noble standing—kinswomen of powerful houses, widows of renown, or merchants of great fortune. But as the first carriage door opened and the lady within descended, a hush swept through the gathering.Lady Scarlet had returned.In flesh. In grace.She stepped down with regal poise, her eyes—sharp as flint and just as cold—sweeping over the assembled staff. Her gown of deep burgundy embroidered with golden vines shimmered in the sun, the hem gliding like water over the stone. There was no mistaking her beauty; time had not dulled it, only honed it to something more formidable.From the second carriage descended anot

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   89: The Hand That Heals, The Voice That Commands

    The woman who entered to tend to Lena was not Dylia. For many days now—perhaps weeks—Lena had not seen the familiar face of the healer.“Who are you?” she asked, her hand rising instinctively to shield her womb.Lady Miriam stepped to her side, her presence steady as a tower. “Be at ease, child. This is Branwyn, the new healer of the pack.”Lena’s gaze flitted from the unfamiliar woman to Miriam, uncertainty clouding her eyes. “And Dylia? What of her?”“The Alpha has sent her to contest for the title of Chief Healer. Her skills are undeniable—he believes she has promise enough to lead all who bear the healer’s mantle in our lands.”Lena’s shoulders softened somewhat. Dylia had always been gentle with her remedies, never harsh, never impatient. “She truly is gifted. I miss her company.”Miriam allowed herself a faint nod. “Aye. But fear not—Branwyn served under her hand and has learned much. You are in capable care.”Branwyn stepped forward then, a woman perhaps in her third decade, wi
