Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King Fire in the Shadows
POV BRIARThe heaviest armor in the world cannot hide the wounds that never bleed to the surface. Sometimes the things that hurt the most are the ones no one else can see.The march south allowed no truce. For ten unbroken hours I rode beside Malakar at the head of the vanguard, enduring a biting cold drizzle that seeped through the joints of my armor, and thick mud that slowed even the surest warhorses to a weary crawl. Varek had offered me a covered litter before we crossed the Gorge of Souls, but I had refused without a moment's hesitation. If his warriors walked through the storm on foot, their Queen would not hide behind silk curtains like some frightened noblewoman. Every mile we covered felt like a quiet test of endurance, yet when night finally fell across the High Pines plateau, my body demanded payment for every step I had pushed through.The camp rose around us with the relentless discipline of the north. Hundreds of conical leather tents appeared like dark mushrooms among
Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King Stain Upon One's Hands
POV BRIARSwapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan KingIt takes barely a few seconds to end a man's life, but that heavy metallic scent of blood seems to cling to your skin, beneath your fingernails, deep within your conscience, long after everything is done. It does not wash away like ordinary dirt. It feels like an invisible mark, reminding you at every single moment of what you have just done.The lower courtyard fell completely silent once the sentries marched off to their posts. I stood alone among the footprints pressed into the snow, listening to the wind howl through the narrow slits in the stone walls. I climbed the spiral staircase slowly, without hurry, feeling as though every step weighed heavier than the last. I did not wait for Malakar to walk beside me. I needed to be by myself, even if only for a few minutes, just to understand what I was feeling. I pulled the heavy oak door shut behind me, yet I did not slide the bolt into place because deep down I knew I did not tru
Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King Stain Upon One's Hands
POV BRIARIt takes exactly three seconds to cut a man down, but the metallic tang of his blood lingers beneath your fingernails for days afterward, no matter how hard you scrub.The lower courtyard emptied as the sentries marched away, leaving me standing alone with nothing but the wind whistling through the fortress arrow slits. I climbed the three winding flights of stone steps up to the north tower chambers without waiting for Malakar, my steps heavy and slow, while a cold hollow feeling settled deep in the pit of my stomach. I pushed open the heavy oak door and stepped inside, shutting it firmly behind me without bothering to slide the bolt into place.The room was still warm from the fire that crackled and popped in the hearth, burning low but steady from the night before, yet I felt cold right through. A faint, trembling shiver started deep in my knees and traveled upward along my arms all the way to my fingertips, restless and aching. I walked over to the white porcelain washba
Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King Dance of Fangs
POV BRIARWhen you send men to slip into a queen's room and end her life while she sleeps, you had better make certain her king is truly asleep. Because what waits for you on the other side of that door may be far more dangerous than any knife you carry hidden beneath your coat.The lower courtyard smelled of frost, damp ash and fresh blood. The early morning snow had been trampled and stained dark where two attackers lay still beneath Drakor's sentries. The air bit deep into the lungs, sharp as a blade, yet the mating mark throbbed warm and steady on the left side of my neck, burning bright enough to keep every part of me alive and alert.Malakar walked at my side. He wore no heavy armor, only his dark leather trousers, his worn campaign boots and an unbuttoned black shirt that revealed the scratches my own nails had left along his shoulders only hours before. In his right hand rested his greatsword, its tip scraping the stone paving with a slow, lethal rhythm.We approached the last
Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King Mark of Shadows
POV BRIARThere are touches that do not merely seek to pleasure you, but instead reach to heal every scar someone else left behind, as if someone is finally saying that every wound deserves to be cherished rather than forgotten.The thick, cool oak door pressed against my back, yet Malakar's body burned so warmly against mine that I soon forgot we were even inside a room. His breath smelled of burning cedar and crisp mountain air, and whenever he drew near, it felt as though the entire world narrowed down to just the two of us. Firelight danced softly on the stone walls, casting our shadows tangled together, and for the first time in my life I felt no fear and no shame.With Garrick, every moment of closeness had felt cold and obliging, as if I were something he endured rather than desired. He always expected me to stay still, to be quiet, to be perfect, and the moment he was finished he would pull away as if my presence bothered him. With Malakar, everything was different. With him I
Swapping My Cheating Alpha for the Lycan King The Insolent One's Cup
POV BRIARThere are males who sense a female's power and instead of bowing, foolishly mistake her composure for an invitation. They do not understand that a queen's calm is not weakness, it simply means she has not yet decided how much of her strength she needs to reveal.The Great Hall of Obsidian hummed with a thick, heavy atmosphere, rich with the scent of juniper smoke roasting meat, spiced dark ale, and the wild pheromones of two hundred lycans celebrating the victory won along the southern border. This was no stiff, courtly dinner filled with polite lies. This was a war feast. At the long stone tables, the leaders of Drakor's seven clans tore into ribs with bare hands, clashed tin mugs together, and spoke plainly about dividing the newly won outposts.I sat upon the dais, at Malakar's right hand, exactly where I belonged. I wore a deep emerald velvet gown with a square neckline that framed the pale crescent moon mark glowing softly above my collarbone. My dark hair fell loose an
