"Get ready, Luna," Leon said, standing up and putting his jacket back on. "The sun is waiting for you. And remember your promise... no alcohol or strange men there."

"Yes, Mr. Alpha," I replied, standing up eagerly. "As long as you promise not to turn to stone again once we set foot on dry land."

That grin spread across Leon's face again, one that finally lit up his eyes. His hand closed over mine, fingertips tightly gripped together, as we got ready to walk off the plane. First it was the heat

  • The Bride of Alpha Targarion   Chapter 62 | Sector 7

    Leon’s POVLast night, while Rhea lay across me, her hand resting like that, so still, it cut deeper than any wound.Her breath near my neck, soft but wrong somehow. That rhythm is off by just a fraction. Dad had warned me long before we ever crossed paths with her doctors.Their charts lied. But blood knows better. Even when eyes look away. The truth lives under the skin. Each pull of air through my lungs took something from her.A quiet theft. Warmth passing between us wasn’t comfort. It was a loss. Meant nothing good. Just slow trade. Her pulse was fading bit by bit. And mine feeding on the drop.This has to stop now. When the Elder Council fails, when even Targarion's library holds nothing useful, then my search moves beyond the reach of rules.Footsteps echoing, I spoke into the phone. Look after her, Edwin. Should she wake and want to know where I am, say I’m away for a sudden work matter.The vehicle waiting below wasn’t my usual one. Instead, a plain black Mercedes-Benz sat th

  • The Bride of Alpha Targarion   Chapter 61 | Sapphire

    That night shifted things, Lorenzo’s spirit showing up in the office left cracks everywhere. His word, "poison," hung like a locked door between us. Leon, once clinging, marking space near me at every turn, now moves through rooms as if I were air.Morning light came through the window first thing, pulling me awake inside the old west part of the house, silent and untouched until now. On Leon’s exact command, everything we owned appeared there suddenly, carried by Helen sometime after midnight. Big walls surrounded me, high ceilings above, fresh air waiting just past the open doors to the trees beyond. Still, I counted steps in my head without meaning to, one long stretch across stone halls separating his space from mine, hidden deep within opposite ends of the building."This is for your safety, Luna," Helen whispered as she brought me breakfast. Her usually calm face now radiated with genuine compassion. "Master Alpha has ordered that there be no physical contact within three meters

  • The Bride of Alpha Targarion   Chapter 60 | Lorenzo's Warning

    Silence came over me, sensing the weight of his presence. Not just control - this time it carried fear, a quiet dread beneath the surface. He wasn’t claiming me like something owned. What held him tight was the thought of being left alone again. The dark around him had no end. And I happened to be the one who kept it at bay. That changed everything.That black tablet slipped from my fingers when Leon grabbed it, slamming it down hard onto the table. His mouth crashed into mine - no softness there, only tension, worry, something close to claiming. Inside Vareth Corp’s dim space, where old lies hung like dust, it hit me: we were tangled beyond pulling apart."Don't you ever try to run away from me, Rhea," he whispered between our kisses. "Because I will hunt down anyone who tries to take you away, including yourself."Closer he came, pressure building so thick it stole the air right out of my lungs. The table pressed into my back, his hands caging me in without a word spoken. Tension ra

  • The Bride of Alpha Targarion   Chapter 59 | A Ritual Sabotage

    One foot moved at a time, slow and low. My high heels stayed behind in the accounting room. Stockinged soles touched down without sound across the plush carpet.There I stood, not heading toward Paul’s room at all. The scroll in the forest storage had sparked something after careful thought - everything hinged on Leon. Should he be part of that active Aethelgard ceremony, his health logs and power levels would rest inside his personal vault. Opening it required either a fingerprint scan or matching an Alpha-level energy wave.A thump in my ribs like something trying to break free. Stood facing the dark brown door - Leon’s space behind it. A machine reads my fingers. Sound of a lock giving way. Swung open. He said yes to this scan after what happened out there, called it trust. Now here I am, walking into his world with that permission.Moonlight cut across the floor, spilling through the tall window above the city lights. Behind me, shadows hugged the corners near his wide desk. Built

    Look away from him, Rhea. That’s all Paul wants, to unsettle you,” Leon told me, aiming for gentle, yet my reply came out rigid, just a small, tight nod."I need some fresh air, Leon. I want to take a walk around the mansion's forest. Alone," I said without looking him in the eye.Leon looked doubtful. "Targarion Forest isn't safe, Rhea. Let Oliver escort you.""Only in the inner fence area. Please, Leon. My head is dizzy."A short clash of words, then Leon gave in, on one rule: a tracker strapped to my wrist. Fine by me. The moment my boots met the wet ground beyond the house, something inside, Rora, stirred awake. She pulled not along the guard route, instead veering east, where old trees stood, bark charred like burnt paper.Rora kept pressing me. "Find the answer, Rhea. The ring calls to its other home," she whispered in my mind.Halfway through the walk, thick brambles scraped my arms as I kept moving forward. After some time, a broken structure appeared, swallowed by green moss

  • The Bride of Alpha Targarion   Chapter 57 | The Ring

    Paul's POVA sour smell hung in the air when daylight came. Anger sat heavy in my chest instead of calm. Behind the old family portrait, the hidden compartment stood open, its contents gone without a trace. Where the blue stone once rested, only dust remained.A prize once held tight. History's mark showing how the strongest family fell, cleared away now, lost when Targarion’s claim faded.A few folks have heard about the ring. Yet it takes someone fearless, someone strong, to break through my shield. That someone is Leon.Into the dining room I stepped, jaw tight, eyes flat. There they were, Leon first spotted, then Rhea, already planted at the table. Not a word passed between us. He held a mug of black coffee, silent. She perched like she’d rehearsed it, every gesture too careful, too polished. Perfect pair? Maybe to some. To me, just two people playing parts.Sunlight caught the ring first, before I even sat down. My gaze moved slowly across her shape, landing finally on that silve
