The Alpha’s Bastard Bride 137
“What words?” I ask, my voice shaking.“Smelly thug.”I stare at his eyes, my heart jumping into my throat because that is exactly what my brain just called his fur. I quickly look away toward the wall, trying to tell a lie. “No, I didn't.”My voice sounds super tiny and has zero strength.Right then, the heavy phone inside Kaelen’s pants pocket starts buzzing again.Kaelen does not even lift his hand to check the screen; his wolf already knows exactly who is hitting the line. He just watched that horrible video file from Maria Viremont a minute ago, and he hadn't called her back yet. That crazy female must be getting super impatient waiting by her device, so she is ringing his number directly.I see him ignoring the buzz. “Your tracking device is ringing again. Are your fingers not going to pick it up?”Kaelen steps closer and uses his big hands to smooth down the messy collar of my shirt. “Run out to the kitchen first, Lyra.”I give him a quick nod, twist the handle open, and step o

Lyra Nightbane POV“Your mommy has the best luck in the whole forest to have a sweet pup like you,” Mirelle Ashen says, her voice echoing into the washroom.Liora does not get the big words, so she just lifts a wet cloth and scrubs Kaelen Blackthorne’s nose.I step toward the sink, my heart squeezing as I look at the big Alpha. “I am so sorry, Kaelen. Liora is being too sticky.”“It is fine,” Kaelen says, leaning down so my little girl can keep cleaning his skin. He lets out a low chuckle. “I think I am winning here. I get a beautiful little pup without doing any hard work.”My throat fills with a huge lump. “Thank you for being nice to her.”I turn around to leave the tiles, but Kaelen’s big fingers shoot out and wrap tightly around my wrist. He looks down at my daughter. “Liora, your dad needs to say a secret thing to Mommy. Can your little paws run out to the table first?”“Yes, Daddy!” Liora chirps, nodding her head super fast. She slides right down from the porcelain sink. I reac

Being up so high makes Liora’s jaw drop. Daddy is the biggest, most handsome wolf in the whole woods! she thinks to herself. She wraps her little arms tight around his thick neck, terrified that he might drop her back onto the floor, and nests her small head right against his giant shoulder.I reach my hands out to grab her back. “Liora, come here.”“Mommy, no! I want Daddy to hold me!” Liora whimpers, her voice starting to crack with little tears. Her tiny soul has been starving for a father's protection since her first winter, and she just wants to stay inside his big, warm circle.She wants her Alpha dad.“Let her stay on my shoulder,” Kaelen says, his voice surprisingly soft. He doesn't find her touch annoying at all. Honestly, no wolf in the territory could look at a face this sweet and push it away.I drop my hands, feeling totally helpless. “She has never acted this wild with a stranger before.”Kaelen throws a cold, blank glance over my shoulder, his lips curling into a tiny,

Lyra Nightbane POV“My boots are tracking your trail to the hockey rink, Warner,” Maria Viremont snaps, her claws clicking loudly against the wooden stairs as she rushes down from the second floor of the mansion. “I am riding in the passenger seat.”Warner wheels around, his yellow eyes flashing completely cold under the hallway lights. “Why are your jaws flapping about a ride? Your stupid choices are the reason our family clinic is losing all its gold shares on the network boards. If your fur shows up at the Blackthorne Pack Estate, the Alpha will just rip our throats out faster.”Maria does not let his growls shake her spirit. She glides down the last steps on quiet paws, locking her eyes straight onto Warner’s face. “My hands have a secret piece of ice. If Kaelen Blackthorne sees the markings on this device, his inner wolf will have no choice but to drop his claws and sign a peace treaty with our line.”“What kind of pack weapon are you talking about?” Warner asks, his ears twitchi
The Alpha’s Bastard Bride 133
Thinking about my boy makes my wolf turn sharp again. I look straight into Kaelen's dark eyes. “Never use Orion’s skin as bait for a rogue again, Kaelen. I am totally serious about this.”“Okay,” he answers softly. He honestly hadn't thought about what his wolf would do if Alistair’s knife had actually scratched the boy's neck.Once his breathing slows down, Kaelen turns the keys and guides the truck back down the road.A few minutes later, the tires crunch to a stop in front of my old rental brick house. I click my belt open and hop down to the pavement, and Kaelen’s big boots follow right behind my heels.I spin around on the concrete path, looking up at his tall frame. “Are your paws coming upstairs too?”“My eyes want to see the den where you raised my hockey pups,” he says, his gaze tracking up the brick walls. He has never stepped foot inside my little city rooms before.I lead his boots up the narrow stairs, pull the iron key from my pocket, and click the lock open.The rooms a

Lyra Nightbane POV“When will your inner wolf finally accept my line, Lyra?” Kaelen whispers, his large lips moving down until they are practically brushing against my ears. His thick, hot breath hits my neck and sends a giant rush of electricity straight through my skin, making my knees go totally weak.My eyes turn super wet, a thin layer of salty water blurring my vision. “I don't know.”“But my beast cannot wait for another winter moon,” Kaelen growls softly. His dark eyes are full of so much heat it feels like the blinding sun over the desert sands, baking my face until my tongue goes completely dry.“If your jaw stays locked like this, my wolf is just going to take it as a yes.”His massive palm slides away from my wrists, cruising all the way down my spine to wrap tightly around my bare waist.Suddenly, a bright splash of silver light shoots through the back window of the truck, bouncing off the rearview mirror and hitting my eyes so hard I blink. The sharp glare snaps my brain

My boots clear the exit of the apparel boutique. Since my return to the home country is completely fresh, my pockets lack a personal motorized wagon, leaving my body dependent on foot travel or public transport. I take a position near the curb, waiting for an empty cab to display its light.Terry,

LYRA NIGHTBANE POV"Your smile will grant him absolute peace," I whisper to my own reflection, trying to force my facial muscles to relax. "That is the lowest tribute my wolf can offer to repay his years of unyielding protection."If our paws were still marking the deep snow of the Duskwild Expanse

That matches his rigid alpha pride perfectly.I rise back to my feet, my fingers locking securely around his small hand. "Come along, let’s guide our teeth to the lunch plates."The hot meat dishes have already been distributed across our table.Samuel remains completely distracted throughout the m
The Alpha’s Bastard Bride 85
Under the intense, suffocating weight of their curious stares, Samuel marches straight to the head of the table, digs his small hand deep inside his coat pocket, and drops a shiny silver foil protection wrapper flat onto the wood right before Kaelen’s plate. "Mister, your pocket dropped this crucia
