  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 67: Secrets

    LENAFor the rest of the afternoon, I told myself I wasn't going to follow him but that lasted exactly twenty minutes.I tried reading, failed, tried helping Maren sort linens, folded the same towel three times and even tried drinking tea but I burned my tongue because I was too busy staring at the window.Finally, with all the dignity of a woman making terrible decisions, I slipped out of my room and headed for the east wing… again.The fortress was quieter now since most of the household had settled into the rhythm of the afternoon, the long corridors echoed only with distant footsteps and the occasional murmur of voices behind closed doors.I followed the path I had seen Kael take, past the council offices, past the old portrait hall and past a staircase I hadn't known existed until today. At the end of the corridor stood a heavy oak door guarded by two Blackthorn warriors and the both straightened when they saw me.That was my first clue, the second was that neither opened the doo

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 66: Smoke and Mirrors

    LENAThe strange thing about fear was that it didn’t disappear after the danger passed, it unpacked itself quietly and waited patiently.By morning, I was no longer afraid of exploding another lamp, I was afraid of myself. I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, turning my hands over for what had to be the twentieth time.They looked normal with no burns, no silver veins and no strange glow beneath my skin, just pale fingers with tiny calluses from training and a faint scar across my knuckle from when I had broken a serving plate years ago at House Ashford.If I hadn’t seen the lamp shatter, if I hadn’t watched silver blacken beneath my fingertips and if Kael hadn’t shown me that photograph, I

    LENA“Whatever is happening to you… Raven can’t find out.”I stared at Kael and for close to one minute, I forgot how to breathe.Of all the things I had expected him to say like you’re cursed, you’re dying or you’re losing your mind, none of them had been Raven can’t find out.I blinked. “What?”Kael didn’t answer immediately and that was becoming a habit I deeply disliked, he walked to the window instead, drawing the curtains apart just enough to let the pale dawn spill into my room. Outside, the pack grounds were beginning to wake. Warriors crossed the courtyard carrying coffee instead of

    LENAI couldn’t see Kael’s face from this angle, but the silence that followed was enough to make my skin prickle.Raven tilted her head slightly. “You have guards outside her door.”“She was poisoned.”“And now she’s home.” Raven’s tone stayed light, but there was something under it now, something too careful. “I’m only saying the house has noticed.”Kael stepped slightly to the side, blocking her line of sight to my room without making it obvious.A very Kael move.“She can have whatever security I decide.”

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 63: Hush

    LENAThe words hit the room like another break in the glass and Kael went very still, he didn’t look surprised or confused, he just stared at me. My breath caught as realization dawned on me. “You do know something,” I whispered.His eyes closed for one brief second and when he opened them again, they were unreadable. “I know enough to say this isn’t normal.”I laughed once, shaky and humorless. “That’s the least shocking information I’ve heard all day.”Kael didn’t smile. “I don’t know what it is yet,” he said. “And I’m not going to guess until I do.”“Yet?” The word slipped out before I could stop it.His gaze sharpened. “What?”“You said yet.”Kael rose slowly to his feet which was usually a very bad sign.I stared up at him. “Kael.”“You need rest.”I blinked. “I’m sorry, what?”“You heard me.”“No, I heard you trying to end this conversation without answering the question.”“You’re exhausted.”“And apparently setting household objects on fire, so forgive me if sleep isn’t my top

    LENA“Lena.” His voice cut through the panic like a blade. “Look at me.”I did. His hand came up to cup the side of my face, his thumb pressing just beneath my cheekbone, grounding and warm and horribly steady compared to the chaos ripping through me.“Breathe.”I tried but heat pulsed again and behind us, the silver tray on the bed blackened at the edges. The curtains nearest the fireplace stirred though no windows were open. I could hear the faint, ugly crackle of fabric sizzling somewhere in the room.My nails dug into Kael’s sweater. “Make it stop.”Something in his expression changed, I had seen Kael angry, cold, violent, possessive and annoyed but I had never seen him look afraid.But there it was now, buried deep and hard and quickly masked, gone so fast I might have imagined it if his grip on me hadn’t tightened.“Listen to me,” he said, voice low and absolute. “You’re going to breathe with me.”Another pulse of heat rolled through me, worse this time, and a framed photograph

    LENA“DOWN!” Commander Varik’s voice thundered across the room as wolves lunged into motion around us.The bullet tore past my face so closely that heat grazed my skin before it buried itself into the stone wall behind me. Glass shattered everywhere. People shouted over one another while guards ove

    LENAMy stomach twisted the entire walk to the east hall. Maren walked half a step ahead of me, her posture stiff and composed while two guards followed behind us in complete silence. The mansion looked different in daylight, less haunted and more dangerous.Last night, fear had blurred everything

    LENA“Lena.” His voice cut through the dining hall like a final verdict.I froze mid-step, my fork still half-raised from the plate I had been aggressively eating out of sheer frustration. Kael’s earlier words still echoed in my head—experiments in the bedroom—and my brain refused to decide whether

    LENA“You’re smiling like you didn’t just have a corpse in your room.”The words slipped out before common sense could stop them, and for one dangerous second, the entire hallway went silent.Alpha Kael stared at me.Then he laughed.My jaw tightened. “You’re insane.”“I’ve heard that before.”He st
