Elara's POV

My hands trembled as I read the words for the third time. I still could not process what I had just read. Each sentence was like a knife twisting deeper into my chest.

The file lay open beside me. Its yellowed pages were scattered across the bed like the bones of a long-buried secret.

My mother was accused of theft from the royal treasury? Sentence was pending investigation.

She was given some grace period to prove her innocence. She travelled to Blackwater Ridge to gather evidence

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   My husband

    Dustan's POVI had been watching her for the better part of an hour.Elara sat in the rocking chair by the window, her legs tucked beneath her, a book open in her lap. She was humming—actually humming—a soft, lilting melody that would get on anybody's nerves. Her hair was still singed at the edges, her clothes still bore the faint smell of smoke, but she looked... uncharacteristically happy. Like she didn't have a care in the world.It was unnerving.The maids had tried to insist she change out of her charred clothes, but she had waved them away with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. They had tried to coax her into a bath, to clean the soot from her skin, but she had refused with a polite but firm "I'm fine, thank you."And now she sat there, reading one of my political science books, as if she hadn't just set her own room on fire.I couldn't make sense of it.The guards had reported the fire as an accident—a candle knocked over, a curtain catching flame. But I knew better. I

    Elara's POVMy hands trembled as I read the words for the third time. I still could not process what I had just read. Each sentence was like a knife twisting deeper into my chest.The file lay open beside me. Its yellowed pages were scattered across the bed like the bones of a long-buried secret.My mother was accused of theft from the royal treasury? Sentence was pending investigation.She was given some grace period to prove her innocence. She travelled to Blackwater Ridge to gather evidence for her defense. But she never returned.She was presumed dead. This was during the massacre? The massacre no one acknowledged? Case closed.Presumed dead? She did not die of a wasting disease like my father had told me. Not succumbed to a fever that had swept through the village. Not peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by loved ones.She had been sent on a fool's errand to a place that no longer existed, to prove her innocence against charges that were fabricated from the start. And she had ne

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Something more

    Kael's POVI walked through the crowd, my head held high, my strides long and purposeful.The marketplace was buzzing with restless energy when I arrived.Rogues of all ages milled about—some trading, some arguing, some simply existing in the limbo that had become their lives. Children darted between the legs of adults. Their laughter was a stark contrast to the tension that always simmered beneath the surface of our community.And one by one, they noticed me.The chatter died first. Then the laughter. Then the sounds of trade and argument and life itself seemed to fade into nothing. Mothers pulled their children close. Men straightened their backs. Women bowed their heads.By the time I reached the center of the square, the silence was absolute.I turned to face them—my people. My pack. The outcasts and the forgotten, the survivors and the lost. They looked at me with eyes that held a mixture of hope and fear, of reverence and desperation.I scanned the crowd, letting my gaze rest on

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Taste

    Dustan's POV“What the hell do you want, woman?”I stared at her, my jaw clenched so tightly I thought my teeth might crack. The audacity. The sheer, unbridled audacity of this woman.Lyria's smile didn't waver. If anything, it widened, her eyes gleaming with a predatory light that made my skin crawl.She stepped closer, her hips swaying with exaggerated grace. Her fingers trailed along the edge of my desk, then moved to my shoulder, tracing the line of my collarbone with a touch that was far too familiar."I've always wondered what it would be like," she murmured, her voice low and husky. "To be with a real Alpha. To feel that power, that strength." Her fingers drifted lower, brushing against my chest. "You're so much more than I ever expected,Alpha Dustan. So much more."I sat there, frozen, my teeth grinding together so hard I could feel the ache in my jaw.Her hand moved lower, her fingers splaying across my abdomen, feeling the muscles beneath my shirt. She closed her eyes, inhal

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Understanding

    Dustan's POVI watched the guards lead Elara away, her shoulders slumped, her head bowed. The fire that had blazed in her eyes moments before had dimmed, leaving behind nothing but exhaustion and defeat.My hands gripped the arms of my wheelchair so tightly that my knuckles went white.I wanted to call after her. I wanted to stop them, to demand they release her, to take her somewhere safe where they couldn't reach her. Where nobody would dare treat her like they did today. Where I wouldn't sit there watching my wife get humiliated. Where we wouldn't have to be so pathetic and helpless.But I couldn't. Not yet. Not without making things worse.The situation was too delicate. Too dangerous. One wrong move and Ruth would have Elara locked away in the dungeons—or worse.So I sat there, frozen, and watched her disappear through the door.The room was still buzzing with tension. Lyria was being helped to her feet by a pair of healers, her face streaked with tears, her dress torn. Callum w

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Stop them

    Elara's POVFuck you Lyria! I stared at my stepsister. My blood was turning to ice in my veins. Her words were doing something in the air, that turned the entire atmosphere more toxic, like a poisonous cloud, each one more absurd than the last.Elara can be very vengeful.She holds grudges.She would do anything to stop him.Anything!! I felt a laugh bubble up in my throat—a disbelieving, hysterical laugh that escaped before I could stop it."What the fuck?" I barked, my voice sharp as a blade. "What's this snake doing here anyway?"Lyria flinched at my tone, but she didn't back down. Instead, she turned to Ruth with those wide, innocent eyes—the same eyes she had used our entire childhood to make me look like the villain. The same eyes that had convinced our father I was the one who broke her favorite doll when it was really her who had smashed it against the wall in a fit of rage. And stupid me would bear the consequences of her actions thinking it was I who angered her so as an e

    Elara's POVI was expecting something grand.Or at least intimidating.Instead, when the heavy doors of the King’s castle opened and I was led inside, the place felt eerily empty.Not abandoned—but quiet in a way that made my skin prickle.No crowd was there waiting to mock me.No curious nobles whispe

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Agreed

    Elara’s POV I stared at the impeccable specimen. To me, he looked nothing more than a demon, freshly out of hell, trying to test out its tyranny on lower mortals. Disgust curled deep inside my stomach!“Royal property, huh?” I repeated under my breath, my lips curling. “Are you actually serious r

    Elara's POVI couldn't sleep much.Umm, honestly, not even for a second.I just lay there,staring at the ceiling,replaying everything. Over and over and over again like some cursed loop I couldn’t shut off.My entire life was playing backwards… then forward and then in a mess… By the time the sky st

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Fate?

    Elara’s POVI didn’t even realize I was holding my breath until my chest started hurting.The hall had gone dead quiet—like the kind of silence that pressed against my ears. The kind that told me something was about to go very, very wrong.And it did.“Lord Vale,” the attendant called out.My stomach
