Vira’s POV

"You are clenching your jaw so tight the bone might snap, Vira," Gryfyn growled low into my ear, his broad, calloused hand reaching around my ribs to anchor my broad frame flush against his heavy body.

The flickering oil lamps suspended from the carved stone ceiling threw long, jagged shadows over the high granite balcony overlooking the main courtyard. Down below, Kaelen’s vanguard riders were fastening iron saddles onto their dark warhorses, their iron broadswords clinking in the c

    Vira’s POVGryfyn pulled me up onto his saddle before my heels could even touch the damp grass outside the eastern tollhouse.His broad, calloused hand had hooked firmly around my waist as my dark stallion came to a halt, swinging my broad frame effortlessly over his horse's pommel and settling me flush against his heavy, armored chest. Before Kaelen could even turn his mount around to ask for night guard assignments, Gryfyn kicked his black warhorse into a swift, silent trot, carrying us away from the noisy army encampment and deep into the dark pine canopy above the mountain river."Gryfyn, the camp fires are not even fully lit yet," I gasped out, my hands coming up to lock around his broad, tattooed neck as his horse navigated the quiet forest trail."Kaelen knows how to set perimeter watch without my supervision for one hour, substitute," Gryfyn growled rough into my hair, his deep gravelly voice vibrating straight through my back. His dark leather war armor felt cool against my

    Vira’s POVLocal villagers lined the dusty edges of the high trade road three deep, standing on wooden rain barrels and climbing the lower branches of yellowing birch trees just to see our advancing line.They had brought their children, wrapped in patched wool shawls, holding them up high over the timber fences as the heavy thud of a hundred iron hooves echoed off the granite valley walls. Old farmers in leather aprons leaned on their wooden pitchforks, their weathered mouths hanging open in total silence as seven hundred heavy riders swept down the dirt path in silent, terrifying discipline."Look at her brass seal!" a young woman called out from the front row, her voice trembling with raw excitement as she pointed toward my chest. "It’s true! She carries the seal of the First Line!""She’s the one who tamed the Wild Alpha King!" an old man shouted back, waving a bundle of dried lavender toward our column. "Bless the High Queen! Bless the North!"Whispers traveled down the crowd lik

    Vira's POV "I can smell your wetness, high queen," Gryfyn murmured right against my ear, his large hand sliding down my leather-clad hip to pull me flush against his saddle while our horses matched stride at the head of the column.I shifted slightly against his heavy frame, feeling the solid heat of his chest press through our matching dark-leather armor. The crimson silk lining our high collars brushed against my neck with every breath we took."I am not wet, Gryfyn," I answered smoothly, turning my head enough to catch the rough stubble along his jaw. "I am calculating how many miles we cover before the sun hits the western ridge.""You get hungry too much," he growled low, his thumb pressing firm into the curve of my waist through the thick hide. "You could just lean back against me and let my elite guard handle the distance.""Your elite guard cannot negotiate trade rights with the central pack leaders when we cross their borders," I teased back, a slow smile touching my lips as

    Vira’s POV"You are measuring my broad shoulders for the third time, Vira," Gryfyn growled low into my hair, his massive, calloused hand reaching around my middle to draw my broad body flush against his heavy frame.We stood inside the private armory of the northern border outpost, where two giant iron hearths roared with bright, crackling flames. The thick stone room smelled of heated iron, boiled leather, and rich pine oil. Spread across the massive oak table in the center of the room were bolts of heavy dark-leather armor hide, sheets of hammered black steel plates, and spools of royal crimson silk thread brought down from the central weavers' guild."I am measuring your shoulders because a single loose strap on your shoulder guard will throw off the balance of your broadsword during a heavy strike, Gryfyn," I replied smoothly, keeping my voice calm and razor-sharp. I pulled the marked leather measuring strap tight across his broad, tattooed back, my thumbs pressing firm against t

    Gryfyn’s POV"Are you scared of the iron shoulder buckle, substitute," I growled low into Vira’s soft dark hair, my left hand sweeping across her middle to pull her broad frame flush against my heavy war armor.We stood inside the central courtyard of Lord Malakor’s former coastal border fort. The morning sun had barely cleared the jagged granite cliffs, casting long grey shadows over the cobblestones. All around us, the air smelled of wet wood smoke, leather oil, and the crisp sea salt blowing in from the southern ocean. Down in the yard, fifty of my most lethal, battle-tested heavy riders—my personal elite guard—were checking iron horseshoes, tightening leather saddle girths, and securing extra grain sacks to their mounts.Vira didn't flinch or pull away from my hold. She leaned her soft, thick back firmly against my chest, her small hands resting flat over my thick forearms where I held her locked tight against my middle. Her dark grey wool riding dress felt warm under my callouse

  • The Alpha King's Plus Size Substitute Bride   Chapter 73

    Vira’s POVThe sharp, metallic scent of damp iron and sea salt filled the subterranean cell beneath the coastal watch station.Torchlight flickered across the dark granite walls, casting long, dancing shadows over the four heavy iron posts where Commander Vane—the foreign officer we had captured in the pebble cove—sat bound with thick hemp ropes. His silver-trimmed armor lay in a pile on the cold floorboards, leaving him in a torn wool tunic, his broad shoulders tensed as he stared up at us.Gryfyn stood towering at my side, his massive frame blocking out half the torchlight in the room. His dark leather war armor clanked softly as he shifted his weight, his broad, calloused hands resting heavy on his hips. The wild, dark wolf ink across his neck pulsed hot in the dim light, and his dark golden eyes flared with a feral, terrifying heat that made the foreign commander flinch every time Gryfyn drew a breath."You have five seconds before I let my Alpha King show you how we treat foreign
