Nyx POV

There’s something dangerously intoxicating about slipping through an enemies territory and not getting caught.

It feels Like walking through a tightrope with a blade at your back every step a dare.

And tonight, I was daring fate itself.

I heard the old unused maps of the packhouse is kept at the ancient wing of the packhouse.

At first I didn't know where the ancient wing was so I took three days to look for it, pretending like I was helping with the investigation.

And fortunately for me, Raiden Insisted I stay in the pack house he said is not save for me out there.

If it was any other moment I would have insisted on going, cause the closer we get the more he starts to trust me, but I had to find the map, so I stayed.

And getting the old maps is more favorable, that way no one will notice is gone.

  • The Alpha's Vampire bride    Evidence of betrayal

    Nyx POVThe silence in the Elders’ chamber was starting to get suffocating, the high ceilings in the chamber felt like judgment itself. Including the Silver torches that lined the walls, and the flames looked like there were flickering with restrained fury. And across the obsidian chamber floor, Raiden stood.He looked like war wrapped in royal skin.Tall. Still. And his presence enough commanding.But his golden eyes... when they met mine, I felt something shift, I saw something in his eyes for only a second.It wasn’t rage.It wasn’t desire.It was something colder.Something wounded....And yet, I didn’t flinch.I walked forward beside my mother, our crimson cloaks trailing behind us like blood spilled in on the obsidian chamber floor, with selene walking right behind us.Elder Vaughn cleared his throat. “Queen Ilaria and Princess Nyx. You have arrived unannounced, to what do we owe this visit?”he questioned.“We are here with a purpose, vaughn” my mother said, her voice like ice

  • The Alpha's Vampire bride    The price of silence

    Raiden POVI should’ve burned their palace to the ground.When I pulled that vampire fang from my warrior’s corpse, every instinct in me screamed for vengeance.Not strategy.Not patience.But Blood.Just blood.My people were dying.My wolves were being hunted.And Nyx,She is Gone. Silent. She Vanished like smoke.My bride.My enemy.The one woman who thought she could outsmart me.The one woman I let my Guard down when I an with.And now her clan had left me with corpses, the corpses of my warriors.I stood alone in the war chamber, clawing through rage and reason.But I knew if I struck first, if I so much as laid a finger on her borders....The Elders would crush me under the weight of the treaty.Paint me as the aggressor.The villain.So I did the one thing I hated most.I was never patient, but this time I had to be.I waited.And then I acted."Prepare the warriors!," I commanded dorian "we are leaving for the elders council"."Okay Alpha" dorian answered before he left.I

  • The Alpha's Vampire bride    When silence burns

    Nyx POV“The wolves were the first to spill the blood of our own” my mother said, pacing around like a storm wrapped in skin. “And if we don’t answer it this, we show weakness.”I stood still in the Queen’s war chamber, my jaw clenched, My heart pounding harder than I wanted to admit.A wolf claw.In a vampire’s chest.And Raiden’s scent still burned in my lungs.“I want them punished,” Mother snapped. “I want their Alpha on his knees. And I want his head if he dares lie to my face.”I didn’t flinch. “We can’t attack mother, Not yet.”She stopped pacing and narrowed her eyes at me. “You are defending them now?”“No,” I said carefully. “I’m protecting us. You know the Elders are watching both clans. If we move first, if we strike without their blessing, we’ll be the ones who broke the treaty.”My mother’s lips curled in disgust. “Then what do you suggest? We sit here and let them kill us in silence?”“No,” I said softly. “We take it to the Elders. Let them decide who started this war.”

  • The Alpha's Vampire bride    The queen's fury

    Nyx POVThe doors slammed shut behind me as I stepped into my mother’s chamber, sending chills down my spine.The room was darker than usual. No candles, no fire. Just rays of moonlight filtering through the stained glass, casting blood-red shadows across the room floor.I looked around and she sat at the far end of the room,her back straight, her long fingers draped elegantly over the arm of her obsidian throne.Queen Ilaria of the Crimson Crescent.My mother.And the one woman I could never lie to… unless I lied perfectly.“Nyx,” she said without looking at me. “Finally you are here daughter”I moved toward her,my steps slow but steady. “You sent for me mother and I came.”“i thought you wouldn't come,” she said flatly. “You have embedded yourself in the wolf den, you slept beside their Alpha, and now two of our people were taken, and later we found they bodies in the western wood."I flinched a little, but not from guilt.But from the coldness in her voice.Even for her, this was s

  • The Alpha's Vampire bride    What she left behind

    Raiden POVI felt it before the guards confirmed it.The stillness, the subtle absence of something I wasn’t supposed to notice.Her scent was goneAnd The bond wasn't pulling at me anymore.Nyx was gone.With no word.No message.Not even a damn goodbye.Just the fading echo of her scent in the hall.I walked through the corridors like a storm wrapped in skin, every step I took felt heavier than the last. The guards dropped their gazes as I passed. They knew better than to speak.I reached her chamber and threw the door open, but it wasEmpty.Neat.Too neat.This time she hadn’t just stepped out for air, she was really gone, her cloak that was usually on the chair near the fireplace was missing. I looked around the room and her enchanted daggers were also gone,the fire was cold. The bed untouched.She had left in the night.Without telling me.Without leaving a message.And gods help meI cared.Where did she go? Is she alright? Did she ran away? Did she go back to her clan? Is she

    Nyx POVThe gates groaned open at the sound of my voice there were no guards, no greetings.Just silence, you know that type of silence that came before the storm or after it.I walked into the palace and even the torches lining the entrance flickered nervously, as if they didn’t want to burn too loud, as of they didn't want to be noticed.And the halls were colder than usually, colder than I remembered, the Stone floors I once danced on now echoed like tombs.And the scent of magic was thick in the air it was sharp, old and defensive.Something had happened here.Something big.I didn’t call out for anyone, I Didn’t ask for anyone.Cause If Mother wanted me back, she did make it herself known to everyone I am coming back.And she did.Cause Just as I reached the grand atrium, I heard it, that voice I would recognize in the middle of millions.“Late as ever, princess.”I turned, immediately the voice cameAnd there she was.Selene.Standing in her might.With Same dark violet hair, bu
