Aria’s POV

The world was bleeding.

I felt it before anyone spoke a word—before the alarms rang, before the warriors shouted orders, before the ground trembled hard enough to send cracks through stone.

It was like a slow siphoning beneath my skin.

As if something vast and merciless had sunk its claws into the bones of the earth and was drinking.

I pressed my palm to my chest, breath hitching as the air around me grew heavy, charged with wrongness. Magic—wild, ancient magic—was being torn away fr

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 052: I got speechless

    Caelum’s POVI woke up earlier than usual.For some reason, I couldn’t stop thinking about Fiona.Not because I was interested in her at least, I didn’t think I was.You have only your mate in your mind Of course Something about meeting her yesterday had felt strangely convenient, she had appeared at exactly the right moment.She knew the kingdom and she knew about the princess’s birthday and somehow, she’d offered to help us get into the castle.It almost felt too easy, I got dressed and headed downstairs Aria was already sitting at a table, eating breakfast, she looked up.“Finally.”I sat down. “Good morning to you too.”“Where’s Nyra?”“Probably still sleeping.”Aria smiled. “She was exhausted last night.”I nodded.A few minutes later, Nyra came downstairs.Her hair was tied loosely behind her head, and she looked much more rested than she had the previous night.She sat beside me. “Morning.”“Morning.”I pushed a plate toward her. “Eat up”She looked at me. “You’re becoming bo

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 051: I’m not jealous

    Nyra’s POVI closed the door behind me and leaned against it.For several seconds, I simply stood there.I could still hear the faint sounds of the inn downstairs, but they seemed far away.My thoughts were somewhere else.Precisely the bar about Caelum and that girl, Fiona.I frowned.Why was I thinking about her?I pushed myself away from the door and walked toward the bed.I sat down heavily and then I sighed. “What’s wrong with me?”My wolf immediately answered.You know what’s wrong.I rolled my eyes. “Don’t start.”You’re jealous.“I’m not.”You are.“I am not.”My wolf gave a smug little laugh inside my head.You were staring at her hand.I looked away.“I was not.”You nearly glared a hole through her.“I did not.”You wanted to remove her hand from Caelum.I grabbed a pillow and threw it onto the other side of the room.“Stop talking.”My wolf laughed and j hated that he was right.I had no reason to be jealous.Caelum and I weren’t even acknowledging the mate bond.We had a

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 050: A new friend

    Caelum’s POVThe man’s wrist was still trapped in my hand, for a moment, neither of us moved and the entire bar had gone silent.I could feel everyone’s eyes on us, but I didn’t care.The only thing I could see was the young woman standing behind him.She looked startled and the man, however, looked furious. “Let go of me.”I tightened my grip slightly.“Apologize to her.”His eyebrows shot up. “To her?”“Yes.”He laughed bitterly. “Who do you think you are?”I released his wrist.For half a second, I thought he’d walk away Instead, he swung at me and I ducked. His fist passed over my head.I stepped back and blocked his next punch.Then I shoved him away, the man stumbled into a table.Several cups fell to the floor. “You should’ve walked away,” I told him.He charged again.This time, I met him halfway, he swung at me and I blocked, he tried to grab my shirt.I caught his arm and twisted it behind his back.He grunted. “Enough.”He elbowed me in the ribs and I released him.He sp

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 049: First kingdom

    Nyra’s POVBy the time we reached the first kingdom, my feet were aching. I had stopped counting how many hours we’d spent traveling.The road had been long and we used a car but had to continue on foot for the paths car could not go through.The weather had changed several times, and we’d crossed enough forests and hills to make me question whether the Worldstone was worth the trouble.Then we reached the top of the final hill.I stopped walking and Aria walked straight into my back.“Why did you stop?”I didn’t answer, she stepped around me and then she gasped. “Oh.”Caelum came up beside us.Even he went quiet, we had gotten tk the kingdom, It was enormous and much bigger than Ash Hollow.Much bigger than any village we’d passed on our journey. Tall stone walls surrounded the city, with enormous towers rising above them. Beyond the walls stood hundreds of buildings with red, blue, and golden roofs.The streets were crowded.Merchants pushed carts filled with fruit and clothing.A

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 048: The three kingdoms

    Caelum’s POV“Found it.”I stared at the old book in her hands, the three deep slashes drawn across the page looked almost identical to the mark on Nyra’s back.“Where did you find that?”Aria turned the book around so we could see.“I was searching through the section about forbidden wolves.”She pointed to a faded heading.THE CURSED BLOOD.Nyra stepped closer, her face had gone pale.“Read it.”Aria swallowed. “Okay.”She carefully turned the page.The writing was old, written in dark ink that had faded to brown.Some of the words were difficult to read, but some remained, we could make do with that.Aria began.“When the three marks appear upon the back of a wolf, the bearer becomes a vessel of cursed power.”Nyra’s fingers immediately went to her back.I looked at her and she looked terrified.Aria continued.“The power does not belong to the bearer. It belongs to the darkness beyond the veil.”The room became silent and I felt a chill crawl down my spine. “Keep going,” I said.

  • The Alpha king and the Hunt   Chapter 047: Found it

    Nyra’s POVThe chief’s expression had changed.The moment Caelum told him that our bond had awakened, the warmth disappeared from his face.He stared at us for several seconds without saying anything.Then his eyes moved to me.“Do you acknowledge the bond?”I shook my head. “Not yet.”His eyebrows lifted.“Not yet?”Caelum leaned back in his chair.“We’ve decided not to acknowledge it for now.”The chief looked between us.“You don’t understand what that means.”“I think we understand enough,” Caelum replied.“No.”The chief’s voice was firmer this time.“You don’t.”He walked around the table and stopped in front of us.“A mate bond is not something you simply ignore.”“We aren’t ignoring it,” I said.“We’re choosing to wait.”“Why?”I hesitated.Because I didn’t have one simple answer.There were too many things happening at once.My curse and the mysterious Alpha.The strange power connected to my blood.The attacks and the possibility that someone had been searching for me since

    (Aria’s POV) The night smelled of blood and smoke. The ground was churned with dirt and crimson where wolves had fallen, and the cries of the wounded carried into the trees like a haunting dirge. I could still hear the echo of Kaelen’s growl in my head, the way his voice had commanded not just me,
