“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. “Le

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   122: The Eve of Vows

    The royal dining chamber was unusually quiet, with only Their Majesties seated at the grand table. The emptiness pressed against the walls like a hushed rebuke.The Queen sat with her hands resting calmly beside her plate, her expression unreadable. Celiste stepped forward to uncover her dish, but Lena stopped her with a single, raised hand."I am quite capable of managing on my own, thank you," she said.The King lifted his gaze, his voice even. "The Varkoness and the Varkon have departed to consult the healer. They seek formal validation of their union.""Validation?" she repeated, arching one brow as the royal tasters approached to perform their duties.Lena observed quietly as the young woman assigned to the King stepped forward. The girl moved with a certain ease, her posture unbefitting one of her station. She smiled as she tasted the King's food, her eyes lingering too long upon him.The Queen's gaze sharpened."What is it that amuses you?" she asked, her voice cool.The taster

    The queen turned away, brushing her eyes with the back of her hand."I shall take my leave," Ysara said quietly. The two women rose, their gowns whispering against the stone floor, and departed without another word.Left alone with the king, Lena turned to face him. The cold gleam in her eyes had returned, sharp as steel beneath frost.He had heard everything. Every word exchanged. He knew the names, the grief, the anger. He had come only because he sensed her sorrow, only to be met once more with this frozen facade.She bowed her head in courtesy."I wish to speak with you," he said at last. "Will you sit?""Sit, my king. I shall stand."He inclined his head and seated himself, though uneasily, as if the chair held little comfort for him."I loved Antara," he began, his voice low, heavy with memory. "I saw her before my brother did. We courted in secret for some years, and during that time, she knew nothing of what I was."Lena said nothing. Her silence invited truth."Then she met m

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   120: “Sealed Bloodline”

    “Send the royal tribute to him. And see to it that his pups are well tended,” the King said quietly.Varkon bowed low. “Yes, Your Majesty.”He turned to depart but hesitated at the threshold. The King’s gaze, sharp and unwavering, raised on him.“I have seen that look before, Cedric,” the King said at length. “I know well the signs of a troubled conscience. Something weighs upon you.”Cedric took a breath, then stepped forward with measured resolve. “Your Majesty, I have something to report.”---The chamber grew cold with silence after Cedric had finished the last detail. The King did not utter a word for a long moment, his expression unreadable.Finally, he spoke, voice low and steady. “And you aided her, did you not?”“I did escort Lady Ravena to her bedchamber, but I knew nothing of what followed. I did not know she would… take a life,” Cedric answered solemnly.The King gave a slow nod, his face still grave. “Very well. Thank you, Cedric. You may go.”Cedric bowed deeply and turn

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   119: "The Queen's Justice"

    They reached the queen’s chamber, and the king threw open the door with such force that it groaned upon its hinges.Within, upon the queen’s bed, lay Lady Ravena, unclothed, entangled with Lord Grantham. They were locked in a shameless embrace, their lips meeting in a manner most indecent for the sacred space they defiled.Startled by the sudden intrusion, they broke apart at once, the air thick with the weight of their disgrace. Ravena clutched the blanket to her chest in haste, her eyes darting to the figure holding her on the bed. It was not Cedric.“You vile swine,” she cried, shoving Lord Grantham aside. “How dare you touch me!”Lady Valaria stepped forward, her voice sharp with righteous contempt. “Lady Ravena, I had not thought you would stoop so low as to sully the queen’s bed with your base desires.”The color drained from Ravena’s face.“What?” she whispered, her mind reeling. This was not how it was meant to be. It should have been the queen in that bed, not her.And what i

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   118: "The Queen’s Fury"

    Laughter and low murmurs drifted through the grand hall as nobles gathered near the throne, exchanging favors and whispering counsel on matters of the realm. Others took to the dance floor, moving gracefully with their spouses to the gentle strains of a lute and viol consort playing a stately pavane—a slow, dignified dance favored in noble courts.“Your Majesty, Lord Grantham and his wife, Lady Vera, the Count and Countess of the Northern Region,” a page announced.The couple approached with practiced bows. “Long live Your Majesty,” they intoned, then turned their respectful gaze to the Luna Queen. “Your Grace.”“Welcome, Lord Grantham. May you find your service in court both honorable and fulfilling,” Magdalena replied with quiet authority.They bowed once more and withdrew.“Your Majesty, here is Alpha Ethanasius of the Crimson Moon Pack,” another voice reported.Ethanasius bowed deeply. “Your Majesty, Your Grace.”“How fare you, Ethan?” Lena’s voice broke through the polite formali

  • Surrogate Bride To The Alpha Stand-in   118: "The Coronation of Wolves"

    On the morning of the coronation, before the guests had begun to arrive, the palace stirred with quiet urgency. Banners were raised, garlands strung, and every surface polished to a brilliant gleam. Madame Celeste moved through the corridors like a specter of order, ensuring every detail shone with perfection.Varkoness Milicent had long since departed her quarters, eager to assist her cherished friend, the soon-to-be Luna Queen, in her final preparations.In a distant wing of the palace, the Varkon stirred from slumber, his eyes peeling open at the sound of an insistent knock. With a heavy sigh, he crossed the chamber and drew open the door.There stood Luna Ravena."Oh, my lion," she purred, her eyes roaming appreciatively over his bare chest, his muscles taut with the remnants of sleep. He was unarguably striking, and she did not attempt to hide her admiration.She wet her lips slowly, deliberately.He stiffened at once, his jaw clenched. "Why are you here, Ravena?""May I not visi

    Clink... clink... clink...Shackled by the weight of the chains that rattled with every step, Lena moved through the halls, each sound of metal against stone louder than the fear gnawing at her heart. The demon had returned—Darius. What cruel task did he summon her for this time?She reached the st

    He reached for her hand, his touch warm, grounding.“My lord…” she began, her voice barely above a whisper, flinching at the formality.He held her gaze, a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. “It’s Cedric Ashbourne Everhart,” he said gently. “When we are alone, let titles fall away.”Sh

    Three moons and a fortnight had passed since Cedric had last set foot in these lands, and now, as he stood holding the letter in his hand, the weight of its contents was heavier than any burden he had carried before.He read aloud, his voice thick with concern:"For the past few moons, we have been

    Time was slipping through her fingers.Lady Miriam had likely grown suspicious. Her eyes had followed Lena too many times today, sharp and assessing. She lingered near the front of the hall, ensuring all was in order, yet her glances were never idle.The great hall was filled with noble guests, the
