Surrogate to the Beastly Alpha Chapter Seventy-Four
Aria The massive black warhorse tore through the twisting, muddy alleys of the lawless settlement, its iron-shod hooves throwing up a blinding spray of freezing sludge. I kept my arms wrapped fiercely around Finn’s waist, practically holding him upright in the heavy leather saddle. The guard was completely fading. His chin rested against his chest, his breathing reduced to a shallow, wet rattle that barely rose above the howling of the morning wind. "Stay with me, Finn," I screamed over the wind, burying my face against his broad back to shield myself from the biting cold. "Don't close your eyes!" "Take the left fork," Finn choked out, his voice barely a whisper, yet still clinging to his tactical discipline. "Towards the ravine. They won't follow us into the Iron Hollow." I didn't know what the Iron Hollow was, but I didn't question him. I violently yanked the thick leather reins to the left, steering the exhausted warhorse away from the chaotic shantytown and directly into the

Aria The heavy brass handle of the door violently jiggled. "Girl!" the innkeeper hissed again, his voice trembling with a greedy, frantic energy. "Open the door! We can slip you out the back before they come up the stairs!" I didn't move. I kept my back pressed flat against the wood, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm against my ribs. My eyes darted to the heavy iron keyhole. There was a metallic scrape. The lock clicked. He didn't come up here to save us. He came up here with a spare key to trap us. I scrambled backward just as the door violently kicked open. The heavy wood swung inward, slamming into the wall with a deafening crack. The innkeeper wasn't alone. He stepped into the room, pointing a trembling, dirty finger directly at me, and then immediately scrambled backward to hide behind the towering, black-armored mercenary with the hooked nose. The Black Serpent stepped over the threshold, his jagged, blood-stained blade drawn. His dark eyes swept over the cramped room

Aria The blizzard finally broke just as the sun began to bleed over the jagged peaks of the eastern mountains. The howling wind that had battered us for hours degraded into a low, mournful moan. The blinding whiteout thinned, revealing a frozen, desolate landscape of twisted black trees and a massive, half-frozen river cutting through a deep gorge. "The crossing," Finn rasped, his voice barely audible over the crunch of the horses’ hooves. I turned my head. Finn was swaying dangerously in his saddle. His face was the color of old parchment, his lips tinged blue from the cold. The heavy dark cloak he wore was completely soaked through on the right side, the fabric stiff and freezing from his own blood. "Just a little further, Finn," I urged, spurring my exhausted horse closer to his so I could grab his reins. "Once we cross that bridge, we are out of Thornwood. Ronan’s patrols can't legally follow us." "Rogues don't care about borders, Aria," Finn coughed, a wet, rattling sound

Selena I trailed my manicured fingertips along the carved mahogany armrest of the Alpha’s throne, savoring the undeniable, intoxicating weight of absolute power. The Great Hall was entirely empty, the heavy oak doors barred from the inside. The emergency council assembly had concluded just an hour ago. It had been devastatingly easy. With Cassius howling like a rabid dog in the frozen woods and the castle still reeling from the mercenary breach, the elders had practically begged for stability. They had officially declared the Alpha King permanently feral and unfit to rule. Ronan sat in the center of the throne, his long legs stretched out in front of him, a heavy crystal tumbler of amber liquor in his hand. He wasn't wearing the modest armor of a younger brother anymore. He wore the King’s dark silver colors, the heavy ring of the Regent gleaming on his index finger. He took a slow sip of his drink, his dark, calculating eyes tracking my every movement as I paced the dais. "You

Aria The grandfather clock in the corner of my suite struck midnight. Every heavy chime felt like a hammer swinging directly against my ribs. I pulled the thick wool hood over my head, grabbed my satchel, and walked to the far wall of the bedroom. I dragged my fingers over the wood paneling, found the concealed iron latch, and pressed. With a soft click, the secret Alpha passage opened, revealing the pitch-black, freezing stairwell. I didn't look back at the gilded cage. I stepped into the dark and pulled the panel shut, instantly sealing myself in the walls of Thornwood. I moved purely by memory and touch, keeping one hand flat against the freezing stone to guide myself down the winding, steep stairs. Above me, the castle was a hive of political chaos. I could hear the muffled, frantic shouts of the council elders gathering in the Great Hall, preparing to strip Cassius of his throne and hand the crown to Ronan. I reached the bottom of the descent, pushing open a small, rusted gr

Aria "Feral," I repeated, the word tasting like ash in my mouth. I stared at Finn, the bright warmth of the morning sun suddenly offering absolutely no comfort. "What do you mean, feral? He is the Alpha King. His control over his beast is absolute." "Not anymore," Finn said grimly, leaning forward on the iron bench, his hand still pressing against his bandaged stomach. "The Healers are saying the witch’s antidote violently clashed with his mate bond. His mind was wiped, but his wolf refused to accept it. The psychological trauma forced the shift, and now the beast has completely locked the human side away. He is roaming the deepest part of the winter woods, and he is attacking any enforcer who tries to approach him." My heart plummeted into my stomach. Cassius was trapped in his own body, tearing himself apart in the freezing snow because the poison wouldn't let him remember me, but his soul refused to let him go. "Ronan has already called an emergency assembly of the council f
