THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Sooner Than Intended
Lyra’s POV If the choice has arrived sooner than the Handlers intended, then walking into their trap three days from now may mean walking into something even they cannot fully control.The room remained silent after Calla’s interpretation of the map’s reaction. The golden light had disappeared, but nobody could dismiss what we had witnessed. I could still feel the baby moving inside me, its movements stronger than usual, as though whatever had happened to the map had affected it too. Theron stood beside the table with his hands held away from the map. He had touched it earlier without expecting anything to happen, but now he looked at it as though it might respond again the moment he came close.Calla leaned over the table, studying the place where the golden shimmer had appeared. She moved her finger above the surface without touching it, following the seven spirals one by one before stopping at the empty space between them.“The Handlers’ letter demanded you come alone in three day
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Fresh Ink
Lyra's POVThe missing page has returned to us, and the message written across its back makes it clear the Handlers wanted us to have it exactly now, exactly like this.The page was transported carefully back to Northern Territory, sealed inside a protective evidence case rather than handled casually like an ordinary document. My hands trembled when I finally held the piece of my mother’s journal that had vanished from the hidden chamber.The physical reality of the page affected me more than I expected. Mira’s handwriting was still there, familiar enough to make the missing years between us feel painfully close for a moment. The coded text on the front matched her handwriting precisely, Theron leaned over my shoulder and began translating portions of it with the same unsettling fluency he had shown before, reading symbols he should not have known how to read, and I felt the fear settle into my chest again. Whatever was awakening inside him kept connecting to knowledge that had existe
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Empty Transport
Lyra's POVHelena is gone, and the seal left in her place tells me the Handlers did not simply want her silenced. They wanted her taken.Theron and I reached the abandoned transport within the hour. The scene was exactly as the report described. No struggle. No blood. No forced entry anywhere I could see. It looked as though Helena had simply ceased to exist somewhere in the middle of the journey, vanishing clean out of a locked and guarded vehicle.The transport itself still showed signs of ordinary movement, nothing dramatic, nothing torn or broken. The driver's seat was empty. The doors remained secured, locks intact. Nothing inside looked overturned or disturbed in any way that suggested a fight had happened here.Damon met us at the vehicle. "The convoy's tracking system stopped transmitting for eleven minutes," he said. "Then it reconnected on its own, like nothing had happened.""Eleven minutes exactly," I said."Exactly," Damon said. "That is too precise to be an ordinary fail
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Not an Accident
Lyra's POVHelena survives an assassination attempt inside a supposedly secure Continental Council facility, and the fact that she survives at all tells me someone wanted her silenced, not necessarily dead.We arrived at the holding facility just after midday and I knew something was wrong before we reached the second gate. There were twice as many guards as there had been on my last visit. They stood closer together and watched every person who walked in. Inside, healers were still working over Helena in the medical room at the end of the east corridor. They moved fast and spoke in short, quiet words. Her condition was stable, one of them told us, but fragile. Nobody would promise more than that.The building felt different from my last visit. Guards spoke in hushed voices. The whole corridors had been sealed off with heavy doors and fresh locks. Nobody trusted the place anymore, and I could not blame them.Calla was not there in person, but she had been working from the Northern Ter
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE They Must Never Find This
Lyra’s POV My mother’s journal is written in code, and the code itself tells me she was more afraid, and more prepared, than anyone ever told me she was.I examined the journal carefully in the stone chamber. The handwriting was unmistakably Mira’s, but the content was entirely unreadable. Symbols and substitutions that resembled no system I had encountered. Before trying to decipher anything, I noticed small practical details that made the journal feel startlingly personal instead of simply mysterious. Pressed wildflowers had turned brittle between two pages. A faded ribbon marked one section as if Mira intended to return to it. One page carried the faint imprint of a dried tear that warped the ink years ago.Marcus watched from the chamber entrance. His voice was heavy. “I found this thirty years ago. I searched for it, actually, after she died, because she had mentioned once, in passing, that she kept something important hidden. I never found this chamber. I did not know it existe
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Already Inside
Lyra’s POV Theron says something has already been inside him for longer than either of us realized, and I spend the entire journey home trying to decide whether that is the most frightening sentence he has ever said to me.On the transport back toward Northern Territory, Theron finally articulated fears he had clearly been suppressing since his first collapse.“Small things. I noticed them and dismissed them. Knowing which direction was north without checking. Recognizing symbols in old texts before anyone translated them for me. I told myself it was instinct, or good memory, or simply being Alpha.”His hands stayed still in his lap. “But standing at that site, reading language I have never studied, out loud, without deciding to, I cannot dismiss it as instinct anymore.”I kept my voice careful and direct. “Do you think you have always carried this, since before the Convergence, or do you think the Convergence woke something that was always dormant?”“I do not know. I do not know whi
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Ultimatum
My father delivers my death sentence over breakfast.I sit at the dining table the next morning, stomach already in knots. Marcus called me down with a tone that left no room for argument. Helena and Ivy are both here too. Ivy sits across from me with a perfect little smile, like she is watching he
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE The Return
The whispers start before I even reach the pack house.I crossed the border into Crescent Hollow territory just after mid-morning. My legs feel like they might give out any second. The mark on my neck throbs with every heartbeat. Two sentries spot me first. Their eyes go wide. One of them steps bac
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Claimed in Darkness
I don't even know his name, and I don't care.His mouth crashes into mine with a hunger that matches the fire burning through my veins. The kiss is not gentle. It is desperate, like he has been waiting for this as long as I have been falling apart. His lips are firm and hot against mine. I grab ont
THE RUTHLESS ALPHA'S MARKED BRIDE Into the Wildlands
The forest doesn't care that my heart is breaking.I crash through the trees like something is chasing me, even though the only thing behind me is the image of Derek's teeth in Ivy's neck. My silver dress catches on branches and rips, but I keep running. Heels? I kicked them off miles back. Sharp s
