Chapter 14: Blood on the Ceremony Floor

مؤلف: RISA HART
last update تاريخ النشر: 2026-11-09 16:30:37

The ceremony was supposed to celebrate the future of Blackthorn Pack.

Instead, it became the night the floor drank blood.

By late afternoon, the packhouse had transformed.

Workers had covered the damaged sections of the ceremonial hall with temporary wooden panels. Fresh cloth concealed the worst of the fire damage, and garlands of white flowers hung from the pillars.

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 19: The woman the King Wanted

    Nyla's POVThe palace had a way of making silence feel deliberate.Even the servants seemed to know when not to speak. They moved through the corridors with their heads lowered, carrying trays and folded linens as though the smallest disturbance might awaken something sleeping beneath the royal stones.Perhaps something was sleeping beneath them.After the events of the previous night, I wasn't prepared to dismiss that possibility.I stood beside the tall window in my chamber, reading Blake's letter for what felt like the twentieth time.I looked afraid because I recognized what was waking inside you.I hated that sentence.I hated it because Blake had been standing beside me for years, watching me suffer while knowing there was something he wasn't telling me. He had promised my mother he would protect me, yet he had allowed the pack to treat me as though I were worthless.Now, after rejecting me in fro

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 18: Why Did Blake Look Afraid

    Nyla's POV The palace gates had barely closed when the howl came again. It rolled across the grounds, deep and mournful, carrying something that made the hairs on my arms rise. Somewhere beyond the tall windows, wolves answered. Their cries overlapped until the entire palace seemed surrounded by restless beasts. I stood beside the window in the chamber the king had assigned to me, staring into the darkness. Behind me, Ronan Black spoke to his guards in a voice that allowed no argument. "Double the sentries. No one enters this wing without my permission. Search the eastern grounds and inspect every entrance beneath the northern wall." "Yes, Your Majesty." "And find out who was outside the gates." The guards hurried away. I turned from the window. "You think someone followed me here?" "I know someone has been watching you."

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 17: The King's Black Seal

    I didn't sleep.The royal summons lay on my bedside table, and the silver coin rested beside it.Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined the palace waiting somewhere beyond the forests of Blackthorn, filled with people who knew more about my mother than I had ever been allowed to learn.I imagined the King reading my name.Nyla Graves.Would he recognize it?Would he look at my pendant and immediately understand what everyone else had spent years hiding?Or would he see me as another political problem to be contained?I had heard stories about Ronan Black since childhood.They said he had inherited the throne after a bloody succession struggle. They said he had crushed rebellions without mercy and forced rival Alphas to kneel before his authority.Some called him the Black Wolf.Others called him the King's Executioner, although no one seemed able to explain where the name had originat

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 16: A Stranger at the Gates

    The Alpha was waiting in the main corridor when I arrived.Blake stood beside two guards, dressed in black trousers and a dark shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. He looked as though he hadn't slept.Good.For once, I wasn't the only person suffering from the consequences of his decisions."What do you want?" I asked.His gaze dropped briefly to the hand holding the silver coin."Where did you get that?""Someone left it in my room."He held out his hand."Let me see it.""No.""Nyla.""Blake."We stared at each other.The guards suddenly seemed fascinated by the walls.Blake lowered his voice."That coin bears the royal insignia. If someone delivered it to you, I need to know who.""So do I.""Give it to me.""Give me the truth."His expression hardened.I slipped the coin into my pocket

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 15: The Price of Being Unwanted

    The blood had barely dried on the ceremonial floor when the pack decided I was responsible for it.I stood in the eastern corridor outside the healer's room, my injured palm wrapped in white cloth, listening to two guards argue about whether I should be locked away.They didn't know I was listening.They thought I was too exhausted to care about anything beyond the pain in my hand.They were wrong."Did you see what happened when she touched the seal?" one guard whispered. "The whole room reacted.""I saw.""Then you understand why the elders are frightened."The second guard lowered his voice."Frightened? They're talking about an ancient bloodline. If the rumors are true, that girl could bring trouble to every pack in the kingdom."I stared at the floor.Only a few hours earlier, I had been trying to save an injured man.Now, people were discussing whether my existence was d

  • THE WOLF THEY BURIED ALIVE    Chapter 14: Blood on the Ceremony Floor

    The ceremony was supposed to celebrate the future of Blackthorn Pack. Instead, it became the night the floor drank blood. By late afternoon, the packhouse had transformed. Workers had covered the damaged sections of the ceremonial hall with temporary wooden panels. Fresh cloth concealed the worst of the fire damage, and garlands of white flowers hung from the pillars. The scent of roses could not completely hide the lingering smell of smoke. Neither could the music. I stood near the entrance with Mara, watching guests arrive. I had no intention of attending the ceremony. After everything that had happened, the last thing I wanted was to watch Blake and Sienna perform their perfect little celebration. But Lady Seraphina had requested to speak with me.
