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
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Crocodile tears
Elara's POVI stood in front of the infirmary doors, my hand hovering over the handle, my heart pounding in my chest.The usual bustle of the castle was replaced by an eerie silence that seemed to press in from all sides. Guards stood at attention every few feet, their faces grim, their hands resting on their weapons. The air was thick with tension, with fear, with the weight of what had happened.Alpha Alaric had been stabbed. In his sleep. In his own bedchamber.And I had been in the Record Room that verymorning, stealing files. The coincidence was not lost on me.I took a breath, steadying myself. I had come to offer condolences. To play the part of the dutiful niece-in-law, the concerned family member. It was expected of me. And more than that, I needed to see Ruth's reaction, to gauge her state of mind. If she was mourning, she might be distracted. I could use that.But as I reached for the door, a hand closed around my wrist.I whirled, my heart leaping into my throat, but it w
Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha Ally
Dustan's POVThe council chamber was in total chaos when I arrived.Voices clashed like thunder, accusations flying through the air like poisoned arrows. The long oak table that dominated the center of the room was strewn with documents, maps, and the remnants of a hastily abandoned breakfast. The windows had been thrown open, but the morning light did nothing to dispel the suffocating tension that hung over the room like a shroud.Cassian stood at the head of the table, his face pale, his hands braced against the wood as if he needed the support to remain upright. His eyes were wild, darting from one council member to the next as they shouted over each other."—an outside attack! The wards must have been compromised—""Impossible! The wards are ancient magic, bound to the bloodline. No one outside the family could have—""Then it was someone inside! Someone with access to the King's chambers—""Are you accusing a member of this council? Someone from this house?!"I rolled into the roo
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 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
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 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
