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,
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 47: The Residue
KAELI stayed in the study long after he was gone, staring at reports I wasn’t reading and hearing none of the noise from the corridor outside. My thoughts kept circling back to the same impossible point.Lena should have been sick.The fact that she wasn’t made the entire thing more dangerous, not less. If someone had poisoned her and failed, they might try again. If they realized she hadn’t noticed anything was wrong, they would assume they still had time.And Lena, being Lena, would probably accept another dessert from the same hand just to avoid seeming rude.I swore under my breath and pushed away from the desk.By the time I reached her room, the corridor was quiet.A single lantern burned near her door, throwing warm light across the stone. I knocked once, then opened it without waiting for permission because if Lena was asleep, she would forgive me eventually or she wouldn’t. Either way, I didn’t care.The room was dark except for moonlight spilling across the bed.Lena was un
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 46: Tainted
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 as though they expected the floor to open beneath her feet.No, Lena hadn’t been the problem, Cara had.The moment she approached our table with that plate in her hand, the room shifted. Adrian had gone still, Raven had gone quiet, and Cara had smiled too brightly, too carefully, like someone performing kindness rather than feeling it. Then Lena had taken the tart, eaten it, and spent the rest of the meal making ridiculous comments while Cara watched her with an intensity that bordered on obsession.I had seen fear before, I had seen guilt too and Cara had looked like both.I said nothing during dinner because a summit hall filled with nobles was not the place to start a war over a suspicio
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 45: The Note
CARA“Then what exactly are you implying?”“I’m asking why you spent the entire dinner staring at Lena like you expected something to happen.”I opened my mouth, then closed it. I turned away from him and moved toward the table, pouring myself a glass of water just to give my hands something to do.“You’re being dramatic.”“And you’re avoiding the question.”I drank half the glass before setting it down. “You’re imagining things because you’re obsessed with her.”Adrian’s jaw tightened. Yes, let him be angry. Anger was easier to deal with than suspicion.“I’m not having this conversation again,” he said.“Then stop looking at her like she belongs to you.”The words slipped out before I could stop them and the room went still. When I finally turned, Adrian was already looking at me and the expression on his face made my stomach drop because it wasn’t anger, it was realization as if, in that moment, he had just understood something important… something I had never intended to say aloud.
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 12: Death
KAELThe healer looked terrified.Good, she should be. “If she dies,” I said quietly, staring at the blood staining Lena’s lips, “none of you are leaving this room alive.”The words settled over the chamber like a death sentence.Maren immediately lowered her gaze while the younger servants trembl
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 11: Argument
KAELDinner should not have been this loud, nor should have the dining hall. The estate remained as quiet as ever, the staff moving with trained precision, the guards stationed at every entrance without speaking unless necessary. The noise came entirely from Lena.“You know,” she said while stabbing
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 10: Stubborn
LENAThe pressure around my throat loosened. Not fully, just enough for me to breathe again.My chest rose sharply as I looked up and immediately wished my heartbeat would stop embarrassing me whenever Kael was involved.His silver eyes stared down at me, cold and unreadable beneath the dim lightin
THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA Chapter 9: Trespassing
LENAThe healer arrived just after sunrise, when the estate still felt half-asleep and the light outside the windows was pale enough to make everything inside the room look colder than it already was.I was sitting on the edge of the bed when she entered, hands folded neatly in my lap as though I h
