Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Enough
Elara's POVThe door to the hut scraped open, letting in a gust of cold air that made the candle flame dance wildly. I was too exhausted to turn my head, too hollowed out to do anything but lie there, trembling, as Marta's hands pressed against my belly with growing urgency."Elara, I need you to—""Need her to what?"That voice. That beautiful, familiar voice, rough as gravel and warm as hearth-fire. I forced my eyes open, and there he was—Dustan, my Dustan, wrestling his wheeled chair through the narrow doorway with a bulk load of firewood balanced precariously across his lap. His broad shoulders filled the frame, his dark hair falling across his brow, and despite everything—the pain, the fear, the exhaustion—my heart swelled at the sight of him."Dustan," I breathed, and it came out as barely a whisper.His eyes found mine, and I watched the color drain from his face. "Elara. By the Moon, what's happening? Marta, is she—""Another one," Marta said, her voice clipped and focused. "
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha New life
Elara's POV( A few weeks later) The world had narrowed to a single, screaming point of fire between my legs. Each wave of pain crested and crashed, leaving me gasping on the filthy straw pallet, my fingers clawing at the packed-earth floor. The air in the mangy hut was thick with the smell of sweat, blood, and the acrid smoke from a guttering tallow candle. It was a smell of endings and beginnings, and right now, it felt like my own ending."Breathe, my lady. You must breathe," came the gruff, familiar voice of Marta, the village midwife. Her weathered hands were slick with a greasy salve, pressed against my heaving belly. "This is not the time for dramatics. You have work to do."“Work?! I am dying!” I wanted to laugh, to scream at her. This was not work. This was a war, and I was losing. My body was a battlefield, torn and ravaged from the inside. I’d been in this hell for what felt like an eternity, the only rhythm the relentless, agonizing contraction of my womb. Three pups,
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Gone
Elara’s POVThe infirmary erupted into chaos.One moment, there was a fragile sense of calm—Kael had apparently stabilized, his heart beating weakly but steadily, and the healers had turned their attention to Dustan. I had been sitting between their beds, one hand on each of their cots, watching them breathe.The next moment, alarms blared."THE KING!" someone screamed. "THE KING IS CRASHING!"I whipped around, my heart seizing. He was on a bed at the far end of the infirmary, surrounded by healers. I hadn't even realized he was there. I hadn't seen him while coming in. But before I could move, another scream cut through the air."PRINCESS RUTH! SHE'S STOPPED BREATHING!"No.No, no, no, no—The world spun around me. I clutched the edge of Kael's cot, my vision blurring with tears. Ruth? Was dying? Dustan’s little sister? She was dying.And I couldn't do anything.The healers were everywhere, swarming both beds, their voices overlapping into a wall of sound. I heard words like "no pu
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Exchange
Cassian's POVThe forest was silent as I walked.No birds called. No insects hummed. Even the wind seemed to hold its breath, as if the world itself was waiting to see what I would do next.I didn't know what I was doing.I only knew I couldn't stay.The palace gates loomed behind me…the memory of it burned in my chest like a brand. I had given it up. I had walked away.Because that was what was needed. What they all needed.But as I walked, my mother's voice echoed in my head.The Serpentine Woman is not dead. You cannot kill what was never truly alive. She will rise again. She will always rise again. Save your sister… please Cassian. Save my baby girl's soul. Don't let her be demon food. I had heard those words my entire life. Whispered in the dark. Spoken in a hushed tone… And I had ignored it all. If only I had been more vigilant. My feet carried me through the forest, past the trees I had run through hours before, past the blood I had shed, past the bodies of Shadows that stil
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Miracle
Elara's POVI don't know how long I sat there.Time had lost all meaning. Minutes blurred into hours, hours into an endless stretch of agony. The infirmary was a haze of motion and sound—healers rushing between beds, the metallic smell of blood hanging thick in the air, the steady beep of monitoring equipment that seemed to mock me with its rhythm.Richard stayed beside me. With his hand like a steady weight on my shoulder. He didn't speak. There were no words that could make this better.Kael's bond flickered.Dustan's faded.And I sat there, frozen between them, unable to move, unable to breathe, unable to do anything but wait.Please. Please don't take them. Please.But the universe wasn't listening.And then—Chaos.The doors to the infirmary burst open, and a healer stumbled through, her face white as ash. "We need more hands! He's crashing!"I was on my feet before I knew what I was doing. "Who? Who's crashing?"But I already knew.I could feel it.Kael's bond was sputtering, dy
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Over again
Elara’s POVWe didn't speak.The forest blurred past us—trees and shadows and moonlight bleeding together into a single, frantic motion. Richard led the way, his sword still drawn, his breath coming in harsh gasps. Cassian followed close behind, Dustan's limp body draped over his shoulder like a sack of grain. And I brought up the rear, my wolf still surging beneath my skin, my eyes scanning the darkness for any threat that might have followed us from that nightmare.But nothing came.The Serpentine Woman's screams had faded. The Shadows had been scattered. And the cave—I didn't want to think about the cave.I didn't want to think about anything except the two men I was losing.Kael's bond flickered in my chest like a dying candle. Dustan's was barely a whisper. I could feel them both slipping away, and every step we took toward the palace felt like a step toward a cliff's edge.Faster. We have to go faster.But Richard was already pushing himself to his limit. I could see it in the
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
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
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Verity
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
