KAEL

I had stopped sleeping properly a long time ago, but after Lena opened her eyes again, rest became an abstract idea I could no longer pretend to need.

She was alive. That was the only fact my mind seemed willing to hold without dissecting it into violence.

The healer had insisted her recovery was progressing as expected. I did not trust “expected” when it came to poison, especially not poison that had moved through her system like it had been waiting for permission. So I stayed close enough

    LENAVarik’s gaze sharpened. “There’s more.”Kael looked at him.Varik’s mouth thinned. “The cut was clean. Precise. Whoever killed him knew exactly what they were doing.”I felt suddenly, horribly cold because that meant this wasn’t panic. It wasn’t a desperate servant trying to cover his tracks.This was deliberate and planned, someone had tried to poison me, then sent a note about it, then killed the only person who might have led us back to them before he could even be questioned.My hands started shaking, I curled them into fists immediatel

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 52: Silenced

    LENA“Excuse me?” I was beyond offended.“You heard me.”“No, I heard you accuse me of being stupid after someone tried to poison me.”His expression didn’t shift. “If it helps, I’ve been thinking it for days.”I stared at him in disbelief. “You are unbelievable.”“And you are reckless.”“I am not reckless.”“You accepted food from a woman who hates you.”

    LENA“Who is it?” I asked.Varik looked at Kael first. “A summit server named Dorian. He was assigned to the east kitchens tonight.”Kael’s face remained unreadable. “Bring him.”The guard hesitated and that made my stomach sink.“He’s not here, Alpha.”Silence.Kael’s eyes narrowed. “Explain.”The guard swallowed. “When we went to fetch him, his quarters were empty. But we found a pouch of coin hi

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 50: Hunt

    LENAFor one terrible moment after reading the note, I couldn’t breathe. The words blurred beneath my fingers, then sharpened again as though my eyes refused to decide whether they wanted to understand what I was seeing.‘If the wolfsbane didn’t work, perhaps the next thing will.’My stomach turned so violently I thought I might be sick right there at the table.The dining hall around me was still alive with noise… glasses clinking, low conversation drifting between tables, servants moving through the aisles with silver trays in hand, but all of it suddenly sounded far away, muffled, as though someone had shoved me underwater.‘Not everyone at this summit wants you alive.’I read that line again and again, each time hoping the words would change into something less horrifying.They didn’t. Slowly, I lifted my head and Kael was already standing.The movement had been so quiet I hadn’t even noticed it, but the effect on the room was immediate. Conversations thinned and several nearby no

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 49: Plain Sight

    LENAThe summit grounds were bright beneath the morning sun, but whatever calm the day might have offered was ruined by the fact that Kael was indeed following me but it was close enough to make it obvious to everyone else, but close enough that every time I slowed down or turned around, there he was watching, existing and. Ring impossible. After ten minutes, I stopped in the middle of a garden path and turned to face him.He stopped too.“This is ridiculous.”“No,” he said. “It’s necessary.”“It’s irritating.”“That too.”I folded my arms. “I’m going to a courtyard full of nobles in broad daylight, not marching into enemy territory.”“Those are often the same thing.”I stared at him for a moment, then sighed because unfortunately, that also sounded true. “Do I at least get to know where you’ve assigned the guards?”“No.”“Why not?”“Because if you know where they are, you’ll look for them.”“That is absolutely something I would do.”“I know.”That answer annoyed me more than it shou

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 48: Watched

    LENAI did not sleep and it wasn’t because I didn’t try. Goddess knows I tried very hard, I closed my eyes, turned onto my left side, then my right, then onto my back, then back to my left again as if changing positions might somehow trick my brain into shutting down. It did not.Because apparently being told that someone had poisoned your dessert was not the kind of information a person could simply hear and then sleep peacefully through.Who knew? By the time dawn finally crept through the curtains, I had managed perhaps ten minutes of actual rest and even that had been interrupted by dreams involving tarts, knives and Kael glaring at me while I died in an extremely inconvenient manner.When I finally gave up and dragged myself out of bed, I looked exactly how I felt… terrible.I stared at my reflection while pinning back my hair and sighed. “You look haunted.”My reflection offered no useful feedback. After another moment, I leaned closer, checking for any sign that I had, in fact,

    KAELBy the time dinner ended, I knew something was wrong and it wasn’t because of Lena. If anything, Lena had been the only predictable part of the evening. She had accepted the tart with the same reckless lack of suspicion she brought to most things, then eaten it while half the table watched her

    LENASlowly, I reached for the plate and across the table, I could have sworn I saw Adrian go completely still, it wasn’t something dramatic because he didn’t stand up nor did he say anything but something about his expression changed.For a brief moment, his attention locked onto the tart in my ha

    LENAI did not sleep and no matter how hard I tried, the sleep wasn’t forthcoming so I spent the entire night staring at the ceiling and contemplating every possible reason the summit council wanted to speak with me.Maybe I had accidentally broken some ancient summit law, maybe I wasn’t supposed t
