"They've made it official," Owen said shortly after dawn, placing the statement on my desk with an expression grim enough that I braced myself before picking up the page.

The statement had been sent through official channels and distributed simultaneously to every allied and rival pack across the region. The timing and coordination told me Voss had been preparing it for days, waiting only for the right moment to release it.

I read it twice before setting it down.

    Killian POV"They've made it official," Owen said shortly after dawn, placing the statement on my desk with an expression grim enough that I braced myself before picking up the page.The statement had been sent through official channels and distributed simultaneously to every allied and rival pack across the region. The timing and coordination told me Voss had been preparing it for days, waiting only for the right moment to release it.I read it twice before setting it down.The Voss Council formally requests that Alpha Killian Cross provide verifiable proof regarding recent claims of a resurfaced Sable bloodline within his household. Absent such proof, presented through recognized pack verification channels within a reasonable timeframe, the Voss Council will consider these claims fabricated, a deliberate deception intended to manipulate political standing through false royal legitimacy. We further note that such fabrication, if confirmed, would constitute a serious violation of pa

  • The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen   Chapter 45: Draven’s Price

    Killian POV“One of our informants inside Voss territory confirmed something this morning.”Owen placed a single folded page on my desk and closed my study door carefully. He had delivered the report himself instead of sending it through the usual channels, which told me before he said anything else that whatever he carried was not meant for anyone else’s eyes.“Draven’s been seen repeatedly over the last several days, meeting privately with senior Voss representatives. These aren’t casual encounters. They’re scheduled meetings, held in places chosen for privacy.”I opened the report and read it slowly. The dates were spread across several days, and each meeting had taken place in a different location. The physical description matched Draven, and the pattern was too deliberate to dismiss. He wasn’t meeting them by chance. He was making sure he was seen by the right people while keeping the meetings away from anyone who might question them.I read the report a second time, paying clos

  • The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen   Chapter 44: The Leak

    Killian"Alpha Renfield's people are asking questions."The advisor set a folder on my desk, and the look on his face told me the news was not going to be good."Specifically about a 'Sable heir,'" he said. "The phrase came up twice in conversations our people overheard at yesterday's regional council session. Neither instance traced back to anyone we've spoken to directly."I looked at the folder. "Twice, in one afternoon. That's not idle speculation. That's someone actively spreading it.""That was my assessment as well."By the following morning, three more reports had reached me, each from a different regional contact and each describing the same phrase surfacing in conversations among packs with no obvious connection to each other.Whoever had started this was not simply gossiping to one confidant. They were spreading it deliberately and methodically, making the rumor look as though it had come from different sources rather than a single leak.I summoned Owen immediately, spread

  • The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen   Chapter 43: His Vow

    KillianI sat alone in my study long after Vivienne had gone to rest. The fire had burned down to embers, and the reports Owen had left for me hours ago were still untouched on the desk.I kept thinking about the one thought I had not said aloud to Vivienne. It had come to me the moment she finished telling me the truth, and I had pushed it away because I was ashamed of how quickly it had appeared.Her claim could stand above every Alpha's authority. Her bloodline could, in theory, end every political challenge I faced simply by being made public and formally recognised.If I were a different man, colder and more calculating, I could have built an entire campaign around that discovery. I could have joined my crown to a claim no one could challenge. I could have used her exactly as she had feared I might when she finally told me the truth.I let myself think through that path instead of pushing it away. It would solve almost every threat around us. Voss's ambitions could collapse und

  • The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen   Chapter 42: Would He See Me Differently?

    Vivienne POV"I need to tell you something," I said. "It's important, and I don't know how to make it sound smaller than it is."Killian looked up from Owen's surveillance reports immediately, setting them aside with a decisiveness that told me he'd heard the weight in my voice."You have my full attention."I crossed the room and sat across from him, the letter clutched in my hands as if it could steady me through what came next."The locket," I said. "The dream I used to have as a child. The crest I found in the west wing my first week here. I finally understand what all of it means."I told him everything, slowly, watching his expression for any flicker of the calculation I feared more than anger. Priya's revelation about her family's inherited duty, my grandmother's letter and the war it described, and the crest belonging to a bloodline believed to have been extinguished generations ago because its authority once superseded every Alpha's claim."I might be the last Sable descenda

    Vivienne POV"You're safe," I said, crossing the room to embrace Priya before either of us could say anything else. "You kept your promise. You came back.""I told you I would."She returned the embrace briefly, fiercely, before pulling back. The tiredness in her eyes suggested she'd slept no better than I had. Her expression was more serious than I'd seen from her since the night of the poisoning."I need to talk to you. About the locket. I should have told you everything the first time you showed it to me, but I let fear keep me quiet instead."I gestured toward the small seating area by the window. My pulse quickened at the thought of finally getting an answer to the questions I'd been circling for weeks."I'm listening."She sat, twisting her hands together in her lap. After a moment, she took a breath and finally spoke."My mother sent you that locket," she said. "Before she died. She'd been planning to send it for years, waiting for the right moment, though I don't think even she
