Gianna was having lunch when it hit her.

Heat flooded through her body without warning. Her thighs clenched under the table and her breath caught.

She set down her fork carefully, willing her face to stay neutral.

Across from her, Cyrus was talking. His voice sounded distant.

"The pack funds are not your personal treasury, Gianna. You can't just spend them however you want."

"I'm spending them on infrastructure." Her voice came out steadier than she felt. "Wells. Roofs. Things the pack actually

    "You died," Gianna said, her voice shaking with disbelief as she stared at the healer, the memory of that execution, the sword falling, the finality of it, replaying vividly in her mind. "I watched it happen myself.""You watched what you were meant to see," the healer said, her tone carrying cold, satisfied amusement despite the soldiers still gripping her arms firmly on either side. "Magic has always had more uses than simple destruction, Gianna. Surely you, of all people, understand that by now.""Explain," Nolan demanded, his voice carrying barely restrained fury. "Now."The healer studied him for a long moment, seeming to savor the attention, the shock still evident on every face gathered around her. "A distant relative of the fallen king's bloodline reached out to me," she said finally, "shortly before my scheduled execution. One of the witches who had once served the kingdom of Vaelthorn, scattered after their master's death but far from powerless. She offered me a trade. My li

  • The Alpha's Wife, The Lycan King's Obsession    Chapter 288 - The Servant

    Nolan listened to the remainder of Tilda's confession with growing, sick dread, the full scope of their security failure becoming painfully clear with every additional detail she provided. She described the hooded stranger in careful detail, his voice always carefully disguised, his face kept hidden beneath heavy fabric regardless of the weather, meeting her always in the busiest, most anonymous corners of the settlement's market square where their exchange could easily blend into the ordinary crowd of shoppers and traders."You never saw his face at all?" Nolan pressed. "Not once, in all these months of meetings?""Never," Tilda confirmed, her voice still shaking with fear and shame. "He was careful, always. I assumed it was simply caution given the secretive nature of what we were doing, but now I understand it must have been something far more deliberate.""How much have you told him?" Gianna asked, her voice tight with controlled fury as she thought of every private moment, every

    Corwin’s warning sent a quiet, careful wave of suspicion rippling through the entire palace, though no one, Gianna included, wanted to believe that a traitor could have been living among them undetected for so long, moving through familiar corridors, perhaps sitting at tables during meals, watching and listening while everyone around them remained entirely oblivious.“We investigate carefully,” Nolan said that first evening, gathering Elmund, Gianna, and Fenna together in his study once Corwin had been stabilized enough to leave in the healers’ careful supervision. “No accusations without proof. I won’t have innocent servants and guards living under suspicion simply because of a single, admittedly urgent, warning.”“Agreed,” Elmund said. “But we also can’t afford to dismiss this entirely. Corwin’s own power was significant enough to resist most ordinary threats. For something to strike him this precisely, this effectively, whoever orchestrated it needed exact knowledge of his location

  • The Alpha's Wife, The Lycan King's Obsession    Chapter 286 - The Collapse

    Weeks passed under Fenna’s strict, careful supervision, each ritual session conducted with precise transparency now, every exchange of energy monitored and recorded, the uneasy trust between Gianna and Corwin replaced entirely by professional necessity. Despite the lingering tension, the progress itself was undeniable. Luna’s protective mark had grown steadily brighter and more defined with each passing session, the faint symbol that had once been barely visible against her tiny wrist now clearly etched, pulsing with a soft, steady golden light that seemed to grow more vibrant with every completed ritual.Nolan continued watching Corwin’s every move throughout this entire process, his earlier trust never fully restored despite the old man’s apparent cooperation with their newly imposed conditions. He attended nearly every session himself, standing silently near the doorway, his gaze sharp and unwavering, cataloging every word Corwin spoke, every gesture he made during the increasingly

    Gianna arrived at Corwin’s quarters moments after Nolan’s confrontation had already begun unraveling the truth, drawn by the raised voices echoing down the corridor, her heart pounding as she caught the tail end of what had clearly become a serious accusation.“What’s happening?” she demanded, stepping into the room to find Nolan standing rigid with fury, Corwin looking considerably more subdued than she’d ever seen him.“Tell her,” Nolan said, his voice carrying barely controlled anger. “Tell her exactly what you’ve been doing with these rituals.”Corwin’s eyes lifted to meet Gianna’s, and something in his expression carried the weight of genuine, reluctant confession. “The rituals,” he said slowly, “serve a dual purpose that I haven’t been fully transparent about. They strengthen Luna’s protections, yes, exactly as I’ve explained. But they also strengthen whoever performs them alongside her, drawing on the connection between the Dawnbringer and whoever assists in weaving her protect

  • The Alpha's Wife, The Lycan King's Obsession    Chapter 284 - The Sacrifice

    Weeks passed in careful, demanding routine as Corwin guided Fenna and several other skilled Fae healers through the painstaking process of learning ancient protective rituals, each session requiring hours of preparation, precise understanding of symbols and incantations most of them had never encountered before, and an exhausting attention to detail that left everyone involved drained by evening.Nolan watched the progress carefully, though his focus gradually shifted from scrutinizing Corwin's teaching methods toward something closer to home, something that worried him far more directly.Gianna had grown noticeably distant over those passing weeks, spending increasingly long hours shut away in their private study, surrounded by the thick, ancient texts Corwin had brought with him from his travels, poring over faded pages filled with symbols and languages she barely understood, desperate to absorb every possible fragment of knowledge about her daughter's extraordinary destiny."You sh
