The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 83: Denouncement
Vivienne’s POV“There are three things you need to hear before you leave.”I stood on my own feet, and the Hall waited. My voice was hoarse, but it carried. I could feel the gold thinning inside me, and I knew I had little strength left. Whatever I needed to say, I had to say it now.The silence was different from before. At the start of the day, the Alphas had looked at me with suspicion and barely hidden dislike. Now they watched me carefully, as if they had not expected me to stand before them like this.Harlow and Dunmere stood together, their letters still in their hands. Along the walls, the soldiers who had come down the ropes stood with empty hands and their eyes on the floor.“The first thing is who I am. My name is Vivienne Cross. Not long ago, I was an ordinary woman with an ordinary life. I went to a clinic because I wanted a child, but the clinic made a mistake on my form.”I almost smiled at how simple it sounded.“That mistake brought me to Ashcroft. My husband's counci
The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 82: The Evidence
Killian’s POVVoss had recovered faster than I wanted him to. He stood beside the wreck of his table, one hand resting on the back of a broken chair. The lines in his long face smoothed out until he wore the same weary courtesy he had brought into the Hall.“Lady Arbiter, the Court has heard a young man in distress, under circumstances I will not describe. He has named my wife.”He never once looked at Serena.“My wife is a woman of independent mind. If she met this man, gave him money, or did anything he claims, she did it without my knowledge. I did not send blades into this Hall. I am as shocked as any Alpha present.”Beside him, she sat rigid, her hands folded in her lap. The corner of her mouth twitched, but she pressed her lips together. Her shoulders stiffened as his words reached her, and her fingers tightened around each other.She had stood beside him for years, smiling at gatherings like this one. Now, with every Alpha watching, he had placed all the blame on her without ev
The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 81: Forced Confession
Vivienne’s POVI did not command him. Killian wanted to carry me, but I wouldn't let him. I kept one hand on his arm as I crossed the Hall under my own strength. I passed overturned tables and dropped blades while the Alphas stepped aside to let me through.The gold followed me, spreading beneath my steps before fading behind me. Every few paces, fresh blood ran from my nose, and I wiped it away with my sleeve.I did not hurry. I knew I had only a few minutes left, and I would not spend them running.Draven knelt before the Arbiter's dais, where Owen had placed him. Two of our guards stood behind him, their hands resting on his shoulders. He did not look up when I approached. He stared at the stone beneath him, his lips moving as if he were trying to find the words.I stopped a yard away."Draven."He slowly lifted his head. It took him a moment to meet my eyes.I had seen that face laugh, sulk, and lie to me with a pleasant expression. I had never seen it look so empty. The color had
The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 80: Sealed Exits
Vivienne POV“Don't let him leave this floor.”Killian's order sent Owen moving, but Draven was already halfway down the west wall, heading for the great doors. He moved quickly, keeping low, as if he could escape notice by making himself small.He was wrong. Every Alpha in the Hall was watching him.His uneven footsteps carried across the stone. One by one, the Alphas and their guards turned to follow him. Nobody called out or tried to stop him. They watched a man in a torn suit run for the exit, and their silence made his desperation impossible to ignore.Owen limped across the wreckage with two of our guards at his sides. Draven had a head start and reached the doors before they could catch him.He seized the edge of one heavy slab and shoved. There was no handle, only black wood studded with iron and a thick bar on the other side. Owen had explained that much in the dark.Draven threw his weight against the doors. They held firm. He struck them again, then began pounding with both
The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 79: One Word
Vivienne POVI had a speech ready. Every face in the Hall was turned towards me, and for weeks I had imagined what I would say if I ever stood before them with the truth in my hands.None of it came. When I opened my mouth, there was only one word, and it was not mine.“Stay.”I did not shout. I said it quietly, and felt the word leave my chest and travel through the Hall on the gold light. It touched every blade in the room.The Hall fell still.Across the floor, men lowered their swords, the steel scraping against stone. Even the men on the gallery abandoned their weapons and stepped back from the railing.Nobody fell or bowed. They stood where they were, hands empty, breathing hard.Then I felt something settle beneath the stillness, a weight sinking deep into the stone. The sensation travelled up through the soles of my feet, like a great bar sliding into place.It was not coming from the doors. It was coming from me.I had said stay, and the Hall had understood more than I intend
The Alpha King's Unclaimed Queen Chapter 78: Born vs. Becoming
Vivienne POVI had stood in gold light once before, in a stone chamber before a basin of fire, and I had thought I knew what it felt like. I had been wrong.At the ritual, the flame had risen from the bowl while I watched, telling three packs' worth of witnesses what my blood already was. I had been grateful for the verdict, frightened by it, and uncertain what it meant.This was different. This was a pulse.It rose through the soles of my feet, through the child beneath my ribs, and into every part of me. The steady beat was slow and enormous, yet it did not feel as though something was being done to me. It felt as though I was the one doing it.I could feel the edges of my power reaching through the Hall, touching the walls and every one of the three hundred bowed heads. At last, I understood what the ritual had never been able to tell me.The flame had confirmed my blood. It had told the room whose daughter I was and answered a question about my past. This light had come from somet
