The next morning, Darina started her day early with a training session alongside Will. They ran 20 laps and finished with some boxing.

“How was the rogue interrogation yesterday?” Darina asked, punching the bag.

“He was under a spell and died as soon as the questioning began,” Will replied. “On another note, their system doesn’t use the latest security software. I suggest we switch to the one we use in our pack—it’s the most recent version.”

“Good,” Darina said, hitting the bag harder.

“Are you okay? You look stressed,” Will asked gently.

“Couldn’t be better,” she replied curtly.

“Did a certain handsome prince mess with your mood?”

Darina turned sharply. If looks could kill, Will would’ve dropped dead.

“Sorry,” he said, raising his hands in surrender. “How’s the mating ball preparation going?”

“Oh, my napkin selection duty is going great,” she replied dryly. “I couldn’t find anything more boring to do. And Queen Victoria is doing her best to make it as unbearable as possible. Luckily,

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   Strength in Unity, Schemes in Silence

    In the morning, Darina went to the women’s training and was pleased to see that the number of attendees had already grown to over a hundred.She was especially happy to see Kelly, who was making real progress and looked more radiant than ever. “Luna, thank you for all your help. I did what you suggested, and the bullying stopped. I also feel like a different person now—stronger and more confident.” Darina smiled genuinely. “I’m so glad I could help. You know I’ll always be here if you ever need anything.” Tears welled up in Kelly’s eyes as she pulled Darina into a grateful hug. “Are you practicing to cuddle your enemies to death?” joked Amber, approaching the arena. Dressed in red leggings and a matching top, her ginger hair blazing in the sun, she looked dangerous—like walking fire. Her movements were smooth and graceful, almost feline. “She is a cat, silly,” Coral whispered to Darina with a smirk. Darina hugged Amber. “No, this is just our usual g

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   Whispers from the Underworld

    Jackie felt water droplets falling on her face and opened her eyes. Ralph’s cold body hovered above her, his skin bluish with purple bruises. She tried to scream in horror, but he covered her mouth with his damp, icy hand.“Hello, little sl*t. You thought you could run from me?” he sneered, his laugh sounding like the screech of a poorly oiled door.He leaned closer, pressing his disgusting, frigid body against hers. “I told you—I was just getting started. Soon you’ll join me in hell. Your days are numbered.”Jackie trembled in fear and disgust as Ralph kissed her earlobe. A wave of nausea slammed into her.He whispered, “I saw it. One week left before your execution. The truth will be revealed, and you’ll lose your pretty little head. Just one week... I’ll chain you to my side. You’ll be crawling for mercy I’ll never give. I’ll toy with your body, taunt you with pleasures you’ll

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   A Night of Boundaries

    Darina was shocked when the door suddenly pushed open and Kai walked in without knocking.Her breath hitched.He stood in the doorway, shirtless, his toned chest rising with each breath, the soft light from her bedside lamp casting golden highlights across his messy hair. His eyes were darker than usual, his jaw set—but there was something different. A quiet intensity that felt primal. Dangerous.He didn’t say a word.He closed the distance between them with a predatory grace, the room seeming to shrink with each step he took. Darina sat frozen on the bed, her black lace pajama set suddenly feeling too revealing. Her top clung to her curves, and the hem of her shorts brushed the tops of her thighs like a lover’s teasing touch.

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   The Alpha Within

    Darina was expecting Kai to come to her room and comfort her. In just one day, she had been nearly poisoned, fought off rogues, and witnessed Bred die right in front of her.She had seen death before—she had killed before—but on the battlefield, not in such a sneaky, cowardly way as poison.It was terrifying to know someone wanted her dead. And deep down, she had a gut feeling it was Jackie."I feel the same," Coral said. "That cunning b**ch just wants to get rid of us.""But we have no proof... not yet," Darina sighed."Reed will get to the bottom of it," Coral replied firmly.Darina looked away, her voice softer. "Coral, I’m not sure I did the right thing opening my heart to Kai. I always feel his doubt, his lack of trust in me. He didn’t believe me again—not enough to open an investigation on Jackie. And now, when I need him the most, he’s not even here. Isn’t that what mates are supposed to do? Love and support yo

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   A Toast to Death

    Jackie didn’t move, silently praying he wouldn’t drink it.But he did.Piercing screams filled the air the moment Camilla touched his pulse and announced, “He’s dead.”Through the blur of her tears, Jackie saw Reed, Will, Kai, and a group of warriors with medics rushing into the living room. The pale face of the omega servant who had served the drinks stood out in the chaos. Bred’s lifeless body lay motionless on the floor.She climbed down from the tree and ran before anyone could notice her.Bred was dead.Young, handsome, ambitious—they could’ve been happy together. But now, he was gone. Thanks to the fake Luna who had given her drink to him.“I had no choice. No choice. I couldn’t stop it. It was Darina who poisoned him,” Jackie whispered to herself like a mantra, curled up on her bed and crying.Eventually, exhaustion from the stress and crying took over, and she fell asleep.

  • The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride   Beneath the Bubbles

    The night had been epic. Everyone enjoyed themselves and went to bed just before sunrise.Kai and Darina shared a heated make-out session after the celebration in their room and fell asleep peacefully in each other’s arms.The next morning, after breakfast, Darina and the others said their goodbyes to her family and headed to the airport. Much to Darina’s displeasure, Jackie joined them—but to everyone's surprise, she acted sweet and friendly, even managing to stay civil around Bred.Larissa and Troy went along to visit Larissa’s parents and pack her things.Reed and Amber came to the parking lot with fresh marks and mingled scents.“Congratulations,” Kai said. “That was fast.”“We’ve waited for each other too long to hesitate,” Reed replied, and Amber nodded in agreement.“See? Your old-fashioned ways will only bring trouble. Being unmarked is going to backfire on us—I&r
