Elara's POV

The door clicked shut behind us.

I stood frozen just inside the threshold, my hand still tingling where Dustan's fingers had intertwined with mine.

Our bedchamber was warm, lit by a dozen candles that flickered in their sconces, casting dancing shadows across the walls.The curtain blew in the night breeze.

But Dustan didn't move.

He had rolled his chair to the center of the room and simply stopped. His back was to me, his shoulders straight, his hands resting motionless on the whe

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Trust and time

    Elara's POVThe woman's hand closed around my wrist, her grip surprisingly strong for someone her age. She began to pull me forward, her pale eyes gleaming with something that looked almost like triumph."Come, Elara," she urged, her voice urgent. "We don't have much time. They'll be coming for you soon—all of them. The ones who killed your mother. The ones who want to silence you before you uncover the truth."I stumbled after her, my mind reeling, my heart pounding. The truth. She was offering me the truth. After all these years of searching, of digging through dusty records and burned documents, I was finally going to know what happened to my mother.But even as she pulled me forward, a voice in the back of my mind screamed at me to stop. To think. To question. Because honestly, it felt very weird."Wait," I said, digging my heels into the rocky ground. "Wait

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Treacherous terrain

    Elara's POVThe palace faded behind us.We moved through the darkened streets of the city, keeping to the alleys and side passages.Dustan's wheelchair rolled silently beside me, his eyes scanning the shadows for any sign of pursuit.The scouts had met us at the western gate as promised—four wolves, but their faces hidden beneath hooded cloaks. They had exchanged curt nods with Dustan, then fallen into formation around us, their eyes watchful, their hands never straying far from their weapons.We traveled through the rest of the fading night, the city giving way to farmland, the farmland giving way to rolling hills. The moon hung overhead, lighting our path with pale, ghostly light.The journey was monotonous at first.Hours of walking, the rhythm of my footsteps matching the steady roll of Dustan's wheels. The scouts spoke li

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   What are you talking about?

    Kael's POV"What heir?" I demanded, my voice sharper than I intended. "What are you even talking about?"Richard's pale eyes held mine, unblinking. There was something in them, something that made me feel like a child standing before a wise old sage."I speak of a child," he said slowly, as if tasting each word. "A child who was never meant to survive. A child stolen from the cradle in the dead of night, whisked away from a burning legacy before the flames could consume him."I shook my head, frustration building in my chest. "You're speaking in riddles. I asked you a direct question. What heir?"Richard smiled, a patient, knowing smile that made me want to shake him. "I'm telling you a story, dear boy. A story that begins many years ago, in a place you've only heard whispers of. The palace."I crossed my arms, my jaw tight. "I know what is left there at the palace…to know about what… nothing but corrupts ...""Is that what they told you?" Richard asked, his voice soft. "Is that what

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Settle

    Kael's POVThe sun's rays hit my face like a gentle caress.The warm golden pulled me from the depths of an unexpectedly restful sleep.I blinked.Then blinked again.The world came into focus slowly.There was a canopy of leaves overhead, dappled with sunlight, the soft rustle of wind through the trees. I was lying on a bed of moss. It was soft and springy, far more comfortable than the cold ground I remembered collapsing on.I sat up abruptly, my hand flying to my throat, my chest.No ropes. No bindings.I was free.I scrambled to my feet, my muscles stretching easily, surprisingly loose and limber. There was no stiffness, no ache from the rough dragging of the night before. In fact, I felt... good. Rested. Clear-headed.Better than I had felt in months.I looked around, my eyes scanning the unfamiliar surroundings. I was in a clearing, surrounded by ancient oaks and pines, their branches intertwined overhead like a natural cathedral. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the leave

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Unknown

    Elara's POV"Yes," I breathed, the word escaping before I could stop it. "Yes, I want to come with you."Dustan's smile widened, a genuine warmth spreading across his features that made my heart flutter despite everything. He squeezed my hand, his thumb doing the honours. "Then it's settled," he said. "We leave at dawn. Pack light—warm clothes, sturdy boots, nothing that will slow us down. The scouts will meet us at the western gate."I nodded, my mind already racing.Blackwater Ridge. Finally! I would finally have answers about what happened to my mother. Won't I? There was a strange dread along with anticipation. Even as excitement bloomed in my chest, a cold thread of guilt wound its way through my thoughts.Kael. I had to tell him. I couldn't just disappear without a word…not after everything that had happened in the garden. He had come all this way…to find me? I didn't know for sure. But he had risked everything to see me. I owed him at least an explanation before disappearin

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Black

    Kael's POVThe world tilted.My knees buckled beneath me, the ground rushing up to meet my face. I tried to catch myself, tried to summon some remnant of strength, but my arms were dead weights at my sides. Useless. Worthless.I hit the grass hard, the impact jarring through my skull, sending sparks of white light dancing across my vision. The scent of damp earth and crushed flowers filled my nostrils, grounding me in the moment even as my consciousness began to slip.No. No, no, no.I fought against the darkness clawing at the edges of my mind. I was a warrior. I had survived worse than this. I had been poisoned before, stabbed, beaten within an inch of my life. I had always fought back. Always.But this was different.This wasn't just poison. This was something designed to paralyze, to render me helpless while my mind remained painfully aware. I could feel everything—the cold grass against my cheek, the rough hands grabbing my shoulders, the slow, inexorable drag of my body across t

  • 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

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Strange feeling

    Dustan’s POVI woke up later than usual.Not because I was tired,just unwilling to start the day.Last night lingered in fragments—uninteresting, half annoying. Nothing worth dwelling upon.Or so I told myself.A soft knock followed by the creak of the door interrupted my thoughts.“Good morning, youn

    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   Wedding gift

    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
