Liana’s POV

The morning air felt like ice against my cheeks as our horses trotted slowly onto the open frost of the neutral boundary. Drogo rode right beside me this time, his dark gaze scanning the surrounding treeline for hidden archers.

I had not argued with him when he saddled his warhorse at dawn. After everything that had happened over the last twenty-four hours, having his solid presence beside me was a relief I was not too proud to accept.

I kept one hand near the hilt of my dagger, th

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 158

    Drogo’s POVI stepped directly in front of Liana the instant Carl walked through the main gate, my hand dropping to the heavy pommel of my broadsword. The man looked harmless, walking with a slow, hollow drag to his boots under the bright torchlight, but the hair on my arms stood straight up. I had spent my entire life reading danger on battlefields and everything about Carl’s posture screamed that something was deeply wrong.“Hold your ground!” Baylor shouted, riding past his father and holding up his leather-gloved hands toward my guards. “He is harmless, Drogo! Whatever happened out in those woods burned itself out before we reached him.”“I am not taking your word for that, Baylor,” I replied, my voice booming across the quiet courtyard. “He stays right where he is until my men search him and put iron on his wrists.”Baylor opened his mouth to argue, but the sheer exhaustion on his pale face cut the words short. He let his hands fall to his sides, bowing his head in silent surren

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 157

    Liana’s POVThe raspy whisper echoed off the cold stone walls, sending a chill straight down my spine. Carl sat motionless on the narrow wooden bed, his blank eyes wide and staring into the empty corner of the room while his dry lips kept moving without pause.“It is coming,” Carl repeated, his voice barely more than a hollow rattle. “The shadow in the deep... it is already awake.”Baylor reached out, his hand trembling as he grabbed his father’s shoulders. “Father! Look at me! Who is awake? What are you talking about?”Carl did not flinch, nor did he acknowledge Baylor’s physical touch. He remained completely rigid, repeating the same terrifying warning like a spell he could not stop reciting.“He cannot hear you, Baylor,” I said gently, stepping into the room and placing a hand on my cousin’s back. “He is not speaking to us. He is echoing whatever is trapped inside his mind.”Drogo crossed the threshold right behind me, his hand resting securely on the pommel of his sword as his sha

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 156

    Liana’s POVThe silence surrounding Carl felt far worse than any threat he had ever hurled at us across a battlefield. He stood in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by torches, without shifting his balance or blinking against the glare.“Is he injured?” I asked, stepping toward Drogo as Baylor slid off his horse.“Not a scratch on him,” Baylor replied, rubbing his dust-covered face with the back of his sleeve. “We found him standing in the middle of those scorched woods, just staring into the dark.”“Did he say anything to you?” I asked, looking over at my uncle’s blank face. “Did he recognize the locket?”“Not a word,” Baylor sighed, shaking his head slowly. “He looked right at me when I held it out, but his eyes were completely empty. It was like looking at a hollow shell.”Drogo stepped between Carl and the gathering crowd, gesturing for Soren to clear the courtyard. “We cannot leave him standing out in the open like a spectacle. Put him in the high tower room under guard.”“

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 155

    Liana’s POVBeing left behind at Silvercrest was absolute torture. Drogo and the council had ganged up on me at dawn, insisting that taking an unbalanced carrier back to the very ground that broke Carl was a recipe for catastrophe. So, while Drogo and Baylor were out in the dark woods tracking a giant monster, I was stuck at a wooden desk, surrounded by piles of moldy old books.“If I have to read one more line of ancient script, my eyes are going to drop right out of my head,” I groaned, rubbing my forehead as I slumped back in my chair.Maren did not even look up from her stack of translated parchment. “You are the one who insisted on finding answers before they returned, my lady.”“I meant easy answers,” I muttered, poking at a brittle leather cover. “Like a simple potion or a nice spell that fixes corrupted Alpha blood. Not three hundred pages of family tragedy.”We had spent hours sifting through the confiscated ritual texts from Corwin’s lodge. Maren had worked tirelessly to cle

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 154

    Baylor’s POVI knelt beside the massive print, my hand hovering an inch above the churned earth. I had watched my father shift a thousand times throughout my life and I knew the exact outline of his grey wolf down to the smallest detail. This mark was nearly twice that size, its jagged claw indentations dragged so deep into the frozen dirt that they looked like minor trenches.“That is not a normal wolf,” Den muttered, stepping back while his hand rested nervously on the hilt of his short sword.“He was not normal when he left,” I said, my voice barely carrying across the icy clearing as I stood up.The scorched earth led away from the ritual clearing rather than toward it, splintering the underbrush in a jagged line. It looked less like a retreat and more like something had been violently driven out by a force too massive for the clearing to hold.I pushed forward into the dark woods, ignoring Drogo’s sharp warning to wait for the scouts to check the perimeter. Sable kept pace right

  • The Dangerous Alpha’s Little Wolf   Chapter 153

    Drogo’s POVI kept my warhorse at a slow trot on the ride back to camp, my eyes scanning the surrounding ridgeline while my mind picked apart every word that had just come out of Baylor’s mouth. Liana rode quietly beside me, clearly moved by her cousin’s sudden confession of guilt, but I was not about to let a sudden display of vulnerability blind us to reality. A man whose loyalties had flipped three times in six months did not earn my trust simply because he looked exhausted.“You are thinking he is setting us up,” Liana said, breaking the silence as our horses stepped onto Silvercrest territory.“I am thinking Corwin is sitting in our prison cell right now, yet this whole situation still smells like one of his elaborate plays,” I replied, pulling my horse to a halt beneath a wide overhang. “Baylor looked genuine out there, I will give him that. But genuine men get manipulated into laying traps all the time.”Liana pulled her horse around to face me, a faint, wry smile touching her
