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.
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 49 – Lyra’s Power Surges
The messenger’s words still rang in the chamber. Shadows pouring through the eastern border. Hundreds of them. Coming straight for the palace. But right now, Lyra could only think about Rowan.She closed the door after the man left and turned back to her mate. He stood by the table, fists clenched, staring at the maps. The weight of his secret pressed down on both of them."We do not have time to wait," Lyra said. She walked to him and placed her hand on his chest. "Let me try to heal the mark. Now. Before the shadows get closer."Rowan caught her wrist gently. "It is too dangerous. You saw what happened in training. Your power is still unstable.""I have to try," she replied. "If you die, the Shadow King wins everything. I will not let that happen. Please, Rowan. Trust me."He looked at her for a long moment. Then he nodded slowly and pulled off his shirt. The dark mark stood out clearly on his skin. It stretched from the side of his neck down across his shoulder and chest like twist
THE SUBSTITUTE BRIDE TO THE ALPHA KING CHAPTER 48 – The Secret of Rowan’s Blood
For a moment, the powerful king looked like a scared boy. His hands shook as he held the Herald against the wall. The dark poison continued to spread across the floor, hissing and eating away at the stone."Get out," Rowan snarled at the creature. "Get out of this body and tell your king to rot in the shadows."He shoved the Herald hard. The cloaked figure slid down the wall, black liquid pouring from every opening. Vera stepped forward and drove her sword through the Herald’s chest with one clean strike. The body jerked once, then went still. The black eyes faded. The echoing voice stopped. Only silence remained.The poison slowed but did not stop. It left deep black scars on the floor and walls."Clear the hall," Rowan ordered. His voice was rough. "Burn the body outside the gates. And get someone to deal with this mess."Kael and the guards moved quickly. They dragged the Herald’s body away. Vera stayed close to Lyra, watching her with worried eyes, but Lyra only had attention for
