The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 24 : THE MARK THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST
Freya did not slow down until we cleared the damp, suffocating air of the lower maintenance tunnel and burst back into the relative warmth of the armory annex.The heavy iron door slammed shut behind us, the lock clicking into place with a sharp, final sound. Freya leaned against the stone wall, her chest heaving, her hands trembling as she pulled off her leather gloves."Did anyone see us?" I asked, my voice tight, my right hand instinctively clamping over my right wrist where the new mark throbbed against my skin like a living pulse."No," Freya panted, wiping sweat from her forehead. "The lower patrols do not use that passage. It was sealed off before the last century.""Then how did someone else know we were down there?" I demanded, the memory of the hooded figure and the calm, controlled voice echoing in my head. The Queen has found the door. "That person wasn't wandering by chance, Freya. They were waiting for someone to trigger the seal."Freya stared at me, the dark circles un
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 23 : THE THING BENEATH THE STONE
The copper flask hit the frozen dirt with a heavy, hollow thud, dark spirits seeping into the snow. Freya didn’t pick it up. Her scarred hands hung motionless at her sides, her knuckles wrapped in blood-stained linen, her face so pale her freckles stood out like dark ink. Her dark eyes were locked on mine, wide and bright with a raw, primal terror I had never seen in her. The voice was still vibrating through the soles of my leather boots. It wasn't in the air. It was in the granite, in the mountain, in the marrow of the castle itself. “Moonborn.” My silver wolf was dead silent in my chest, her ears pinned flat, her body tensed to spring. I took a slow step toward Freya, keeping my voice low. "You heard it." Freya’s fingers twitched, her throat clicking as she swallowed hard. "I heard the wind." "Don't lie to me," I snapped, stepping into her space, my heightened senses picking up the sudden, frantic double-time of her pulse. "The flask fell because you heard it. It called me
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 22 : FREYA'S LESSON
I hadn’t slept.The fire in my hearth had burned down to a pile of gray, suffocating ash hours ago. The brutal Northern dawn was just beginning to bleed through the frosted glass of my window, casting long, pale shadows across the stone floor.I sat in the high-backed chair by the hearth, the stolen parchment resting on my knee.I had read the final line so many times the dark ink was practically branded into my retinas.If she awakens, do not let the Obsidian Claw find her.My fingers traced the edge of the torn paper. Varek’s handwriting. Varek’s secret.For the first few hours of the night, a hollow, suffocating betrayal had hollowed out my chest. The Alpha King had known. He had tested my blood when I was just a girl in the Southern court. He had watched me, orchestrated my fall, and claimed me—all while carefully managing the monster he knew was sleeping beneath my skin. I didn't know where the ruthless tactician ended and my mate began.But as the night wore on, the crushing wei
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 21 : THE FORBIDDEN ARCHIVES
I didn’t pause to catch my breath after leaving the Great Hall. I didn’t look back to see if Varek’s elite guard was following me.I knew where I was going.The forbidden lower archives weren't a place one casually stumbled upon during a midnight stroll. They sat beneath the oldest wing of Frostfang Keep, down past the royal war rooms, where the manicured black marble gave way to rough-hewn mountain granite. I remembered Mara once offhandedly mentioning that the keep hadn't been built from scratch, it had been erected directly over the ruins of an older, forgotten stronghold.Frostfang was standing on top of a tomb, and I was about to pry open the lid.As I descended the winding spiral stairwell, my newly awakened senses hit me in violent, overwhelming waves. The cold subterranean air carried a million tiny sounds: the metallic scrape of a guard sharpening his longsword two corridors away, the rhythmic drip-drip-drip of groundwater seeping through the lower foundations, the distant, m
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 20 : THE QUEEN’s MARK
By dawn, the keep was suffocating.I had covered the gouged wood of my doorframe by shifting a heavy, iron-bound wardrobe two inches to the left, blocking the word MOONBORN from view. But I couldn't block it from my mind. The dark letters felt burned into the back of my eyelids, a chilling reminder that while I was trying to navigate the politics of the North, something far older and deadlier was watching my every breath.And worse, news of my shift had leaked.By the time I walked down the grand winding stairs into the Great Hall for the morning assembly, the air was thick with the scent of tension, sweat, and cheap ale. Whispers drifted through the vaulted stone rafters like smoke.Word of what had happened in the training yard—and my performance during the blood duel—had spread through Frostfang Keep like wildfire."I saw the fur myself," a scarred male commander muttered as I passed, not even bothering to lower his voice. "White as fresh snow, woven with spun silver. It’s an omen.
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim CHAPTER 19 : KNOW ME
I stared at the four jagged words, the harsh black ink stark against the pale parchment.THEY KNOW YOU LIVE.The raven was already a dark speck against the swirling, bruised gray of the winter sky, disappearing into the storm. The wind howled through the open window, biting into my skin, but I barely felt the cold.My first instinct—the deeply ingrained, human panic of a girl who had spent her life as a pawn—screamed at me to run. To throw the door open, find the Alpha King, and shove the paper into his chest. Let Varek’s massive, terrifying shadow swallow the threat. Let him burn the keep to the ground to find whoever sent it.But the silver wolf curled tightly around my heart didn't want to run. She wanted to hunt.And more importantly, a cold, calculating realization settled over me like frost.You always suspect too much, Varek.He had orchestrated the treaty. He had engineered Caelan’s rejection. He had known my blood would heal the iron cut in seconds, just as he had known I bel
