THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 55 – The Truth of the Pact
She pulled her hand out of the pool quickly. The image vanished. Her heart beat fast. She needed to find Rowan.She walked back through the throne room. The invisible wall that kept the others out had disappeared. Rowan, Kael, and Vera stepped inside carefully. Their eyes were wide as they looked around at the rebuilt sanctuary."Lyra," Rowan said. He rushed to her and pulled her into his arms. "Are you alright? We saw lights and heard voices.""I saw memories," she said. Her voice shook. "My parents. The betrayal. But there is more here. We need to search."They moved together deeper into the sanctuary. The halls glowed with soft silver light. Every room felt full of old power. Kael and Vera checked side rooms while Lyra and Rowan stayed in the main path.Rowan stopped at a small alcove hidden behind one of the pillars. Inside sat a stone chest covered in the same symbols they had seen on the map. He knelt and touched the lid. It opened with a soft click.Inside were old scrolls and
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 54 – The Past Echoes
The throne room formed from the dust. Tall pillars rose around Lyra. A high ceiling appeared overhead with carvings of stars and wolves. Two thrones stood on a raised platform at the far end. One glowed with soft silver light. The other seemed darker. Lyra stepped closer. Her crownfire burned quietly inside her chest. Rowan and the others stood outside the main hall. An invisible wall kept them back. She was alone with the sanctuary.She walked up the steps to the thrones. The stone felt warm under her hands. When she touched the arm of the silver throne, a bright flash filled her mind.She saw her parents.They stood in this very room. Her father wore a crown of light. Her mother sat beside him with a crown of mixed silver and shadow. They looked young and strong. Wolves from many packs knelt before them. The sanctuary was full of life and music. Torches burned bright on the walls.Her mother smiled at her father. She placed a hand on her belly. Lyra realized with a shock that she w
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 53 – The Sanctuary Walls
The beast lunged at Lyra with its smoky arms raised high. She threw up another wall of crownfire but it was too late. The creature smashed through and knocked her to the ground. Pain shot through her side. She tasted blood in her mouth.Rowan roared and drove his sword deep into the beast’s back. Kael and Vera attacked from the sides. Their blades cut through smoke again and again. Lyra pushed herself up and sent one final blast of white fire straight into the creature’s chest. The crownfire burned hotter than before. The beast screamed and exploded into black mist that scattered in the wind.Silence fell over the ruins. Lyra breathed hard. Her body ached but she was still standing.Rowan rushed to her side. "Are you hurt?""I am fine," she said. She looked at the burn on his arm. "But you are not."Vera wiped blood from her face. "We need to keep moving. More of them could come."They mounted their horses again and rode toward the coordinates on the old map. The wind howled through t
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 52 – The Smoke Beast
Rowan did not wait. He kicked his horse forward and swung his sword in a hard arc. The blade cut through the beast’s shoulder. Black smoke sprayed out but the creature did not bleed. It simply reformed and struck back.Its long arm slammed into Rowan’s horse. The animal screamed and fell. Rowan jumped clear just in time and rolled on the ground. He came up with his sword ready."Stay back!" he shouted to the others.The beast roared. It swung again. Rowan dodged but the edge of the smoke arm caught his side. He flew backward and hit the stone wall of the ruins hard. He gasped in pain and pushed himself up slowly. The shadow mark on his chest burned bright under his shirt.Kael and Vera charged from the sides. Their swords flashed. They cut into the beast’s legs and body. Smoke poured out but the creature grew stronger. It whipped its arm and knocked Vera off her feet. She crashed into the dirt and did not get up right away.Lyra felt her crownfire surge inside her. The power pushed ag
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 51 – The Journey to Nightfall
The small group left the palace under the cover of early dawn. Rowan led the way on his black horse. Lyra rode beside him. Kael and Vera followed close behind with two other trusted guards. They carried light packs and weapons. No banners. No big escort. Speed mattered more than safety in numbers.They rode hard for the first few hours. The palace walls disappeared behind them as they entered the wild northern lands. Ancient forests rose up around the narrow path. Trees with thick trunks stood like silent watchers. Moss covered old stones that looked like they had once been part of buildings long forgotten."This land feels old," Lyra said quietly to Rowan. "Older than anything in the South."Rowan nodded. His eyes scanned the trees. "These woods remember things. My father used to say the ground here still holds old magic. We must be careful."The air slowly changed as they pushed deeper. At first it was just a chill. Then it grew sharper. Lyra pulled her cloak tighter around her shou
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 50 – The Hidden Map
Lyra stared at the glowing symbols on Rowan’s skin. They moved slowly across his chest and shoulders like living light. Silver lines twisted into shapes she had seen before. In her blood memories. In the visions of her parents and the old sanctuary."Rowan," she whispered. "These symbols. I know them."He sat up slowly, still breathing hard from the surge of her power. He looked down at his own body. The symbols continued to glow faintly against the dark mark. "What are they?"Lyra traced one with her finger. It felt warm. "I saw them when I did the blood ritual. In the memories of my mother. They were on the walls of a hidden room. On an old stone tablet."Rowan stood and pulled on his shirt. The symbols faded but did not disappear completely. They left faint silver traces on his skin. "We need to find out what they mean. Now."They moved quickly to the large table in the corner of the chamber. The room was still a mess from the explosion of light. Papers lay scattered on the floor.
