The Bride Who Returned From Death 047: Mona’s Attempt
Killian’s POVShe was lying on my bed, wearing one of the lingerie sets I’d bought for Lyra. The emerald green one that had looked so perfect on her.On Mona, it just looked wrong.“What the hell are you doing in my room?” I demanded.She sat up slowly, arranging herself in what was probably meant to be a seductive pose. “I thought you might need company. You’ve seemed so tense lately.”“Get out.”“Killian, please. Just listen.” She stood, moving closer. “I know you’re worried about Lyra. But she’s not here, and you have needs. We could comfort each other.”Anger flared hot and immediate. “You think I’d touch you while my mate is in another pack’s territory?”“Your mate who walked into a meeting in heat and caused this entire mess?” Mona’s voice took on a harder edge. “Who’s now apparently pursuing dangerous magic without consulting anyone? She’s reckless, Killian. You deserve better.”“I deserve better than someone who breaks into my private chambers and puts on my mate’s clothes, th
The Bride Who Returned From Death 046: Lyra’s Letter
Killian’s POVA letter arrived three days after I’d left Lyra at Riverstone territory.I was in my office reviewing pack documents when a courier delivered it, the Riverstone seal pressed into red wax. My heart jumped at the sight of it, hoping for news that she was safe, that she was managing.I broke the seal and unfolded the paper, recognizing her handwriting immediately.‘I have a plan to fix this situation. It’s risky, but it might be our only real option. I need you to trust me and support whatever I do next, even if it seems reckless. The alliance depends on it.’That was it. No details or explanation of what this “risky plan” entailed. Just a demand for blind trust.My wolf surged forward, snarling in frustration.I read the letter three more times, searching for hidden meaning in the words. There was something beneath one line, faint marks where she’d pressed the pen harder, like she’d written something and then crossed it out.I held the paper up to the light, trying to make
The Bride Who Returned From Death 045: The Ancient Magic
Lyra’s POVAdrian’s eyes found mine through the window.For a moment, we just stared at each other across the distance. Then that familiar smug smile spread across his face, and he started walking toward the building.My heart raced as I backed away from the window. I should have known he’d show up here. Of course he would see this situation as an opportunity.A knock sounded on my door minutes later.I opened it to find Adrian standing there, looking entirely too pleased with himself. He’d cleaned up since the scandal… new clothes, freshly styled hair, that confident posture he wore like armor.“Hello, Lyra,” he said smoothly. “Fancy meeting you here.”“What do you want, Adrian?”“Just thought I’d check on my ex-fiancée. See how you’re settling into your new… situation.” His eyes swept over the sparse room behind me. “Not quite what you’re used to at the Northern pack, is it?”“Get to the point.”He leaned against the doorframe, still smiling. “I want you to know that I’m going to do
The Bride Who Returned From Death 044: The Enemy’s Voice
Lyra’s POVIt was desperate and possessive, his mouth claiming mine with an intensity that stole my breath. His hands tangled in my hair, holding me exactly where he wanted me.I kissed him back just as fiercely, knowing we were about to be separated. The mate bond sang between us, the heat in my body flaring to life at his touch.His hands moved down my sides, gripping my hips and pulling me flush against him. I could feel how hard he was, could feel his need matching my own.The kiss deepened, becoming more heated. His tongue swept into my mouth, and I moaned against his lips.Then his hand slipped between my legs, his fingers brushing against my panties through my dress.I gasped, breaking the kiss. “Killian, we can’t. Not here.”“Why not?” His voice was rough, his eyes fully gold now.“We’re in another pack’s territory. Anyone could walk in and…”“Let them watch,” he interrupted, his fingers pressing more firmly against the damp fabric. “Let them see exactly who you belong to.”He
The Bride Who Returned From Death 043: The Condition
Lyra’s POVThe Riverstone pack territory felt hostile the moment we crossed the border.Guards watched us with cold eyes as our car passed through the gates. Pack members stopped what they were doing to stare, their expressions ranging from curiosity to outright hatred. No one smiled or offered welcome.We were enemies here, not guests.The main building loomed ahead, all stone and sharp angles, built more like a fortress than a home. Appropriate, given how we were being received.Killian’s hand found mine as we stepped out of the car. The contact steadied me, reminding me I wasn’t facing this alone.Two guards escorted us inside without a word. They led us through corridors that felt deliberately maze-like, probably meant to disorient visitors. Finally, we stopped at a heavy wooden door.One guard knocked twice, then pushed it open.The room beyond was austere. A single window let in weak afternoon light. Medical equipment lined one wall, and in the center stood a man who radiated au
The Bride Who Returned From Death 042: The Opportunity
Adrian’s POVThe whiskey burned going down, but I welcomed it.I sat alone in the corner booth of a dive bar on the outskirts of the city, nursing my third glass and trying to figure out my next move. The scandal from the inauguration ceremony had destroyed my reputation. Pack members whispered behind my back. Business partners were reconsidering their agreements. My father had barely spoken to me in days.Everything was falling apart.My phone buzzed on the scarred wooden table. I almost ignored it, assuming it was another message from someone canceling a meeting or ending a contract.But curiosity got the better of me.I picked it up and saw a news alert.‘BREAKING: Northern Pack Heir Severs Alliance Alpha’s Hand in Diplomatic Incident’I sat up straighter, my pulse quickening.I clicked on the article, my eyes scanning the text rapidly. Details were still emerging, but the core facts were clear. Killian Castillo had violently attacked a visiting Alpha during formal alliance negotia
