PRINCE ADRIAN

By the time Cara had changed dresses for the third time, I was already regretting agreeing to the visit.

“It has to be ivory,” she said, standing before the mirror while three maids fussed over her hair. “White makes me look washed out.”

One maid carefully held up another gown. “This one, my Lady?”

Cara wrinkled her nose. “No.” Another. “No.” A third. “…Maybe.”

I leaned against the doorway, arms folded across my chest. “You know they’re children.”

She glanced at me through the mir

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 103: The Price of Remembering

    KAELKael didn’t move and neither did I, the silence settled over us like dust, thick and impossible to escape. The candle between us sputtered, throwing restless shadows across the shelves of ancient books, making the figures carved into the stone walls seem almost alive.My gaze remained fixed on the illustration of the forest and I realized that I knew them. Something that tightened painfully beneath my ribs every time I looked at the page.I wrapped my arms around myself, suddenly cold despite the warmth of the room.“I don’t understand,” I whispered.Kael exhaled quietly behind me. “You don’t have to.”A bitter laugh escaped me before I could stop it. “That’s easy for you to say.”He said nothing because he had somehow perfected silence. Every answer I wanted seemed to disappear the moment I looked at him, swallowed by that calm expression he wore whenever he was hiding something.I turned to face him. “When were you going to tell me?”His jaw flexed. “I have told you what I can.

    KAELLong after the fortress had fallen silent, I remained in the old records chamber with a dozen open books spread across the table and a dying candle flickering beside my hand. Outside the narrow windows, Blackthorn was swallowed by darkness, but I barely noticed. My thoughts kept returning to the forest, to the red glow that had spread between the trees, and to Lena standing beside me on the balcony as though something beyond those ancient woods had reached through the darkness and called directly to her.Come home.The words still disturbed me, not because I understood them but because I didn't.I pulled another ancient record toward me and turned the brittle pages carefully, searching for anything that might explain what had happened. Most of the records were useless—fragments of old prophecies, incomplete accounts of previous Ember Heirs, warnings written by seers who had died centuries ago then I found it.My fingers stopped against the page.A symbol had been drawn in faded i

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 101: The Call

    LENAThe forest was glowing, I stood frozen beside the balcony railing, staring at the strange ember-red light pulsing between the trees. It moved beneath the darkness like something alive, spreading farther into the forest with every slow beat.I couldn't explain what I was seeing but somehow, I could feel it.A faint pressure had settled behind my ribs, warm and strangely familiar, it wasn't painful nor was it frightening but it felt like something was reaching for me."Lena."Kael's voice came from beside me, low and careful. I barely heard him before the light pulsed again.My fingers tightened around the cold stone railing as a strange sensation moved through my body. Heat gathered beneath my skin, particularly around my palms, and the mark that had appeared there earlier seemed to throb faintly."What is that?" I whispered, unable to tear my eyes away from the forest.Kael stepped closer, his boots scraping softly against the stone. His expression tightened as he watched the glo

  • THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA   Chapter 100: What Was Taken From Her

    KAELThe attack was over, but Blackthorn no longer looked like the fortress I had spent years protecting. Smoke drifted through the broken courtyard, curling around shattered stone and splintered weapons. Several sections of the outer wall had been damaged, and the eastern tower was missing part of its upper structure. Warriors moved through the destruction carrying the wounded while healers hurried between them, their faces grim with exhaustion.I stood in the center of it all, forcing myself to remain calm."Get the wounded into the eastern hall," I ordered, turning toward the nearest captain. My voice remained steady despite the exhaustion weighing on my body. "Double the guards at every entrance, and no one leaves the fortress without my permission."The captain immediately bowed his head. "Yes, Alpha.""Search the perimeter again," I continued, tightening my grip around the sword still hanging at my side. "I want every trail, every footprint, and every trace of their presence acc

    LENAThe flames refused to disappear, they should have faded after Kael finally gave me the answer I had spent days fighting to uncover. Instead, the moment the enemy leader's words reached me, the Ember inside my body reacted as though he'd struck a match against my very blood."So the last heir finally remembers how to burn."Heat tore through my chest. I gasped, staggering backward as another surge of Ember energy erupted from my hands. Flames curled around my arms, bright enough to cast dancing shadows across the battlefield."Kael..." I called, my voice trembling beneath the roar of the power.His expression changed instantly. The calm mask he'd worn throughout the battle vanished as he pushed through the smoke toward me. "Lena!" he shouted, raising his voice over the chaos. "Look at me!"I tried to obey, but everything around me had become a blur of fire, smoke and frightened faces."I can't control it!" I cried, staring helplessly at my burning hands. "Kael, I can't stop it!""

    KAELThe first explosion shook Blackthorn before the warning bell could sound, I was already on my feet when the command chamber windows rattled violently in their frames. Warriors rushed toward the doorway, their expressions tightening as another distant blast rolled through the fortress."Report," I demanded, turning sharply toward the nearest warrior.He stumbled into the chamber, breathing heavily, his face pale beneath the flickering torchlight. "The eastern wall has been breached, Alpha."My jaw tightened as I reached for my sword. "How many?""We don't know yet," he admitted, glancing anxiously toward the corridor. "They're moving too quickly."Another explosion thundered through the fortress, and the warrior flinched but I barely noticed. "Where are they heading?" I asked, stepping closer. He hesitated and my patience vanished. "Where?"His throat bobbed as he swallowed. "Toward the inner fortress."My stomach dropped."Which section?" I asked, already knowing the answer I d

    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

    I had barely slept a wink when a horrible pounding sent me scrambling to the corner in fear.The mark burning on my wrist burned but it was strangely comforting.
