Lucian’s POV

I paced around my office as I waited for Callen to arrive. My mind had been working since dawn, replaying everything the seer said yesterday. I tried to push her words aside, but they kept crawling back. I did not want to sit still. I needed movement. I needed something simple and clear to focus on. The forest attack at least offered that.

A knock came. “Enter.”

Callen stepped inside with a small bow and I noticed the way he held something in his hand. A piece of cloth. The same one he sent a note about this morning.

“Your Majesty,” he said. He placed the folded cloth on my desk and waited for me to pick it up.

I reached for it and straightened it with my fingers. It was torn at the edges and rough. Something about it looked familiar, but not enough to be useful. I turned it over, studying the fabric. Nothing about it stood out.

“You found this where?” I asked.

The path the rogues attacked,” Callen said. “One of the guards picked it up during patrol. It looked fresh, so I

  • The Alpha King's Chosen    Chapter Sixty

    Lucian’s POVI sat in my office chair observing the seer, noticing the way she was hesitant. The longer she stayed quiet, the more I saw the thoughts flickering in her eyes. She kept her hands folded in her lap, but her fingers twitched now and then, betraying her unease. I gave her some minutes to settle her thoughts before she spoke again.“If I may ask, your majesty, why do you think I know anything about her?” she asked.I scoffed silently. Her voice sounded too careful. “You want to know? Fine, what was the meaning behind your reaction earlier? When I mentioned her name?” I asked.She tried masking her face, but it failed badly. Her eyes dropped for a moment like she regretted letting that slip.“You haven’t been to the academy for long, I know that, but from what I can gather, your last visit was at the trials. The seer test precisely. Now, tell me, what have you gathered about her?” I asked.She looked surprised that I could figure this out at once. The shock in her expression

  • The Alpha King's Chosen    Chapter Fifty-nine

    Aria’s POVI woke up to the sound of noise coming from the other room. I had drifted off to sleep after Lucian left, and I had no idea how long I had been asleep. My body still felt heavy from everything that happened, but the noise pulled me back to reality little by little. I blinked a few times before pushing myself up on my elbows.Lira walked into the room with a tray of hot chocolate and pancakes. I sat up in bed, rubbing my eyes."Morning," Lira said, setting the tray down on the bedside table."Morning," I replied, my voice groggy.Lira helped me sit up and propped pillows behind me. She placed the tray in front of me and handed me the mug of hot chocolate. She watched my hands closely as I took it, ready to steady it if I slipped."Slow," she said. I smiled a little and took the mug from her. "Thanks."The steam rose from it softly and touched my face. The smell alone made something inside me loosen. As I looked at Lira, I noticed she was watching me closely. She placed her

  • The Alpha King's Chosen    Chapter Fifty-eight

    Lucian's POV I walked down the long hall, trying to clear my mind. The sound of Aria's labored breathing still lingered in my ears, and the image of her fear-stricken eyes haunted me. I could still feel her grip on my shirt, her tiny hands clutching me as if I was her only lifeline. The stain on my shirt, a reminder of her tears, tugged at my heart.I pushed aside my thoughts and made my way to the balcony in the hallway. The cool night air was a welcome respite from the turmoil brewing inside me. I felt a presence beside me and didn't need to turn to know it was Ronan. The silence between us was comforting, a testament to our years of friendship."How is she?" Ronan asked, his voice low and gentle."She will get better," I replied, my voice firm. "She will stay here until I'm satisfied she's fine."Ronan raised an eyebrow. "Have you told her she would stay here?"I didn't respond, and Ronan's eyes narrowed. "You didn't, did you?" he asked again.I smirked, a small smile playing on m

    Aria’s POV“Uhm, hi?” I squeaked, feeling super awkward. I felt ridiculous. Even on my sickbed, with my body bruised and trembling, I could feel my face heating up, my face was still red and puffy from crying and I felt more embarrassed. I hated that I even cared how I looked.He didn’t answer right away. He just stood there, letting the silence stretch between us. My heart rode too fast. I clutched the blankets tightly, feeling the rough fabric dig into my palms. He was so quiet that I was beginning to get nervous.He then pushed the door behind him with a slow push of his hand. He stepped closer, each movement deliberate. It was as if each step he took made me more nervous.What if he blamed me? What if he thought I had been careless? What if I had ruined everything at the academy? I couldn’t stop the tremble running through me. I had never felt so small and so exposed.“How do you feel?” My thoughts were interrupted by that single question.He stopped at the side of my bed. His eye

    Aria’s POVPain pulled me awake.A low groan slipped out of my mouth before I could stop it. My head felt like someone had hit it with a hammer. I tried lifting my head a little but the movement sent a sharp throb down my neck, so I let it sink back into the pillow. My throat hurt when I swallowed. Each breath felt heavy, and my chest ached like I had been crushed.I forced my eyes open a little. They burned and felt thick and heavy, stubbornly refusing to focus. My vision blurred, and slowly the shapes around me began to take form. A white ceiling. A wide room that screamed of luxury. This was not the academy.Where am I?I tried turning my head, and pain shot down my neck like fire again. Each shallow breath made my ribs ache, forcing me to freeze mid-motion. I tried moving my fingers, but they were too weak. The tiny motion sent a sharp sting up my arm. Another groan escaped me, soft and unsteady.I stayed still, waiting for the ache to fade. My mind was foggy, broken and fragmente
