The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 16 : MARK OF THE KING
The coronation had been a roaring, wild inferno of celebration, but as the hours bled into the early morning, the energy in the courtyard finally began to settle.The massive sea of wolves began to disperse, melting away into the snow-dusted shadows of the keep. The heavy ceremonial drums slowed to a quiet, rhythmic thrum. I stood in the center of the courtyard, the silver crown resting heavy and perfect on my brow, feeling an overwhelming sense of peace.But as I turned to look for Varek, that peace fractured.He was standing near the arched stone entryway, half-swallowed by the shadows. He wasn't looking at me. His hands were clenched so tightly at his sides that the tendons in his forearms stood out like coiled wire. As a torch flared nearby, I caught a brief, dangerous flash of his eyes.They weren't their usual amber. They were burning, brilliant, feral gold.Without a word to me, without so much as a glance in my direction, he turned on his heel and disappeared into the keep.I
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 15 : THE QUEEN'S CORONATION
I woke slowly. The stone floor should have been freezing, but my cheek was pressed against something incredibly warm and astonishingly soft. The steady, deep rhythm of a heartbeat drummed against my ear, rising and falling in a soothing cadence. For a few seconds, I didn't remember where I was. My mind was floating in a hazy space between sleep and waking, snagging on disjointed fragments of the previous night. I care about you. I don't expect you to believe me. But I do. And then, a sharper, colder memory pierced through the fog. The panicked, hushed voice of the healer slipping through the heavy oak door. Moon— My eyes snapped open. I looked up. The enormous, pitch-black wolf was still there. He hadn't left. His massive head was resting on his paws, and as I shifted, one brilliant golden eye slid open to look at me. I screamed. It wasn't a damsel-in-distress shriek, but a violently startled, breathless, "OH—!" I scrambled backward across the carpet, my hear
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 14 : TREATY SIGNED
I stared at my hand in the quiet, humid air of the greenhouse.Slowly, the strange, heavy pressure beneath my skin began to recede. The silver claw retracted, smoothing back into a normal, human fingernail. The metallic sheen fading from the blood on my arm until it was a bright, mundane crimson once more.I should have been terrified. I should have fallen to my knees, panicked, and searched for an explanation for what had just happened to my body.Instead, I reached down and picked up the heavy Aurelian parchment Elara had thrown at me.If Varek wanted a Queen, he was going to get one. But first, he was going to know exactly what I had just chosen.I pushed through the heavy glass doors of the winter garden and began to walk. I didn't pull my cloak around my shoulders to hide the blood dripping down my forearm. I didn't slow my pace. I marched straight through the main courtyards of Frostfang.Servants paused. Northern warriors turned their heads. A pair of guards stepped into my pat
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 13 : THE WOLF THAT WON'T OBEY
I had discovered that the royal kitchen was a much better place to eat than the royal dining room.There were no silver knives. No twelve-foot table. No Northern nobles pretending not to stare at me while pretending to discuss trade routes. Just Astrid, two bowls of rich, steaming lamb stew, a crusty loaf of bread between us, and a cook who had apparently decided that the southern Queen was going to eat until she developed a healthy fear of root vegetables."We could have eaten in the dining room," Astrid said, tearing off another piece of bread and dipping it into her broth.I followed her lead, tearing off a warm chunk and soaking up the savory gravy. "This is much faster."I took a bite, letting the rich flavors settle. "And delicious."Astrid nodded solemnly, chewing thoughtfully. "A compelling political argument."A quiet moment settled between us, broken only by the crackle of the hearth. But as I looked down at my bowl, my appetite suddenly vanished. My mind was still entirely
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 12 : NORTHERN WOMEN
I barely slept. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was the metallic, shimmering silver blood swirling in the washbasin, perfectly forming the shape of a crescent moon. When dawn finally broke, casting a pale, icy blue light through the massive glass windows of my chamber, I got up and searched for the elderly servant. I checked the corridors. I asked the guards stationed outside my door. Nobody knew who I was talking about. It was as if she had vanished into the stone of the keep. I was sitting on the edge of my bed, staring blankly at the fresh white bandage wrapped around my palm, when three sharp knocks rattled my door. Before I could answer, Freya pushed it open. She was dressed in lighter leathers today, her dark hair pulled back into a messy, practical braid. "Get dressed," she ordered, tossing a heavy woolen cloak onto the foot of the bed. I blinked, pulling myself out of my racing thoughts. "Why?" "Because you’re going outside." "It’s freezing," I argued, p
The Alpha King’s Ruthless Claim Chapter 11: BLOOD ON SNOW
I was straddling the King of Frostfang. My chest heaved, my breath pluming in white clouds in the freezing air. Varek lay completely still beneath me, his massive shoulders pinned to the packed snow, his dark golden eyes locked onto mine with a terrifying, heavy amusement. "I won," I whispered, my voice trembling with adrenaline. The corner of his mouth twitched. "You tackled me." "And you're on the ground." "For approximately three seconds." "Still counts," I breathed, my grip tightening on his chest. Varek’s gaze darkened, tracking the movement of my hands against his skin. He didn’t shove me off. He didn’t demand I yield. He just looked at me, a low rumble vibrating in his chest. "You used what I taught you," he murmured. It wasn't a concession, but coming from him, it was the highest form of praise. Suddenly hyper-aware of the searing heat of his hips pressed beneath mine, I scrambled off him, my cheeks burning. I snatched the heavy war axe from the snow, expecting him
