CHRISTINE

The pain woke me before the light did.

It wasn’t as sharp as last night, but it was still there deep, steady, and unrelenting beneath my ribs.

A constant reminder that my body wasn’t at full strength, no matter how much I willed it to be.

I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling and letting my breathing even out before I moved.

Kael’s message from last night lingered in my mind.

He asked me to prepare for a meeting without any details or explanation.

Just a time, a location,

    CHRISTINE“A car is waiting, it will take you back.”Kael’s voice was calm, like everything that had just happened had already been filed away in his mind.I looked at him for a second, searching for something but there was nothing beyond that usual composed expression.He wasn’t lingering on the failure nor was he explaining anything.He wasn’t even looking at me like I had just been used as bait in a situation that could have gone wrong in a hundred different ways.He was already moving on or maybe he didn't just want to talk about it. My jaw tightened slightly but I didn’t argue this time, there was no point.“Can you walk?” he added, almost as an afterthought, his gaze flicking briefly to my side where the bandage was hidden beneath my clothes.So this was the right to care about my wounds? He didn't think of that or even considered my injured state before thinking of using me as a bait. I wish I could say that to him but I wasn't ready to hear him explain anything because he al

  • The Alpha’s Discarded Bride   Chapter 65

    STEPHANIEThe estate was quiet as usual as I stepped in. It was not the kind of quiet that came from peace but the kind that came from control.Every step I took across the polished floor echoed just enough to remind anyone listening that nothing here moved without intention. The guards stationed along the corridor didn’t look at me directly, but I could feel the shift in their attention as I passed. It was respect, expectation and something closer to caution.The doors to my father’s office were already open when I arrived.He was inside, seated behind his desk, reviewing something laid out in front of him with the same measured focus he applied to everything else. He didn’t look up immediately when I stepped in, which meant he already knew I was there.“Stephanie.”My name was enough acknowledgement. I walked in fully, letting the door close softly behind me.“You sent for me,” “I did.”He turned a page before finally lifting his gaze to meet mine. His eyes were calm and observa

    CHRISTINEThe silence that followed his last breath didn’t feel normal and it didn’t feel like an ending either.It felt arranged.My eyes stayed on the body longer than necessary, not because I was disturbed, but because my mind was trying to make sense of what I was seeing.There was no struggle left in him, no final twitch, no reflex or anything that suggested he had been taken off guard.His body went completely still.I was too shocked to digest what just happened , this seemed hard to believe for a man who had been fighting seconds ago.Kael stepped closer first, his presence cutting into the space without effort. He didn’t touch the body immediately, he just looked at it like he already understood what I was still trying to piece together.Then he crouched slightly, eyes narrowing and that was when I saw it.A faint trace near the corner of the man’s mouth, it was something dark, almost unnoticed if you weren’t looking closely.Kael exhaled once through his nose.“He did it.

Just a time, a location, and the expectation that I would be there.It didn’t feel like his usual approach, there was something about it, something too deliberate, careful and calculated.I pushed myself up slowly, ignoring the way the movement pulled at my side. My hand instinctively pressed against the bandage beneath my clothes as I swung my legs off the bed.Pain flared but I didn’t stop, if anything, it sharpened my focus.By the time I was standing in front of the mirror, adjusting my outfit with controlled moveme

    KAELThe night had settled deep into the city, quiet in a way that most would mistake for peace but it wasn’t.I stood by the glass, looking down at Moonfall as it moved beneath me in controlled patterns—lights steady, routes predictable, everything exactly where it should be and yet, something wasn’t.My hands rested loosely behind my back, posture relaxed, but my mind remained fixed not on noise but on absence.That was what bothered me, it wasn't the attack itself or even how it was carried out but what came after.There were no leads or trails or any mistakes and something like that never happens in my city repeatedly.My jaw tightened slightly, the only outward sign of what sat beneath the surface.Darius and the others had confirmed it earlier. No one saw anything until it was already over, there was no interference, no early warning, no movement flagged within the system I had built and reinforced over time.It was too clean and that wasn't a coincidence.It meant whoever was b

    HARLANNight had already settled over the territory by the time I stepped back into it, not as an Alpha returning to his pack yet.The gates opened without question and the guards lowered their heads the moment they recognized me, but there was no announcement or shift in the usual rhythm of the place except for the quiet acknowledgement and silence swallowing my arrival like I had never left.That was how I wanted it, controlled, unseen and planned.My boots echoed faintly against the stone floor as I moved through the corridor.My senses were sharp, taking in everything without needing to look twice, nothing had changed and yet everything had because I had.“Alpha,” My men greeted with bows as I walked inside. Rowan, my beta, fell in step beside me immediately, his presence steady, familiar. He didn’t ask questions until the door to my office shut behind us and only then did I turn.“No one knows I’m back,” I said and he frowned slightly. “Not even the elders?”“No one,” I repea
