CHAPTER 19

HUNT’S POV

No one dared breathe.

The hall had gone tomb-quiet the moment my men sealed the exits. Physicians moved like shadows between the bodies. Starting from Elder Frederick’s sobbing wife first, then the rest. Nobles. Servants. It didn’t matter. All would be examined.

The lower castes had survived two weeks of the plague. These pampered wolves would survive one night.

I stood like a blade at the head of the hall, the weight of my stare pressing on the crowd.

"Lycan."

  • The Lycan King's Hybrid Bitch Queen   Chapter 34

    Chapter 34A small squeak left my mouth. Hunt just stood there, fresh from the bath, water still sliding down his skin. Completely naked.My face burned hot. I spun around so fast my shoulder hit the doorframe. “Sorry,” I muttered under my breath, pressing my palms to my cheeks. The image refused to leave my head. Broad shoulders, the hard lines of his back and hips, the way the light caught every ridge of muscle. For one long second my thoughts emptied out. Nothing but heat and the sudden loud beat of my own heart.My wolf stirred inside me, bright and eager, pushing forward like she wanted to get closer. I slapped my cheeks lightly, once, twice, trying to shake sense back into myself. “He’s not my husband,” I whispered fiercely. “My husband is dead. This Hunt is a different man. Different. Don’t you dare get any ideas.”My wolf only whined, still excited. I slapped my face again, smaller this time, and forced my breathing to slow. I couldn’t afford this. Not with him. Not when getti

    Amber's POV"Hey." I felt someone kick my feet. "I know the stone is comfortable and all, but it's time to get up."A low thudding ache started behind my head as I winced and slowly fluttered my lids."Come on." The person kicked my feet again. "Get up, princess.""Wha-- " I opened my eyes fully. wincing and frowning as I lifted my head from the dungeon stone wall."Ally?""At your service," She bowed cockily. Her lips twitching as she straightened and stretched out her hand. "No, seriously. You need to get up."My brain was still muddled. Fuzzy from sleep as I took the grip and allowed her pull me to my feet."Why are you always everywhere?" I muttered, yawning.To my side, I noticed with a start that the cell gates were open.My eyes moved down to my waist suddenly. "Lucinda—""She's gone," Ally replied. "She technically only had to spend the day and jolted the second dawn broke."It made sense for her to leave, but the keys— "I had the keys on me. How did she- "Ally's spine stiff

    Chapter 32Ashlyn's POVI knew without a doubt the person holding me was a man. And knowing which man was never far from the Lycan King, I knew the man that grabbed me in particular was the Beta."Let go!" I grunted, my voice muffled against his palm as I drove my elbow into his side.He let out a low string of curses but promptly let go. Still huffing angrily, I spun around to face him, my eyes spitting anger."What was that?!""Shhhh!" Alex shushed me. Looking over my shoulder, back at the chamber worriedly. Like he feared the noise might have disturbed Hunt or whatever version of Hunter stood in that hall.Then without a response to me, He grabbed my hand again.My wrist this time as he pulled me harshly out of the catacombs and back to the main dungeon passage."Aren't you supposed to be guarding Veronica? Don't tell me you left her all alone.""I ask the questions!" I hissed spitefully, pulling my wrist back in annoyance. "What's it to you anyway?"Alex stuttered. His mouth openi

    Chapter 31Ashlyn's POV"You can't leave." Lucinda's voice followed me down the corridor. "You're my jailer. You have to,""Stay in the cell," I said without turning."That's not, there are rules,""Lucinda." I stopped walking. Didn't look back. "Stay in the cell."The groaning came again from below. Lower than the first scream. More sustained. The sound of something ongoing rather than something sudden.I followed it.The dungeon had levels I hadn't known about.The passage revealed itself at the far end of the corridor, a staircase descending behind an unmarked door that sat slightly ajar, as though someone had come through it recently and hadn't bothered to pull it fully shut behind them.I pushed it open.The smell hit me first. Iron and sweat and something charred underneath both. The staircase was narrow, the walls close, the torchlight from below casting everything in uneven amber.I went down.The sounds grew with each step. Not screaming anymore. Something worse, the low, rhy

    Chapter 30 Ashlyn's POV Lucinda lasted six minutes before she spoke. I know because I counted. The same way I'd counted outside Hunt's study. Giving the anger somewhere to go. "He'll tire of you." Her voice came from the stone bench. Still not looking at me. Addressing the middle distance she'd been studying since she sat down. "Whatever game you're playing." She smoothed the fabric of her dress across her knee with one precise motion. "Whatever you think you've won with the blood cure and the court performance this morning. He'll see through it. He always does." I said nothing. "He sees through everything eventually." Something shifted in her voice. Small and quickly covered. "That's who he is." And there it was. Not in the words. In the thing underneath them. The particular intimacy of someone describing a person they had watched for a very long time. Had studied. Had built a detailed and careful knowledge of, piece by piece, over years. The realization moved through me s

    Chapter 29 Ashlyn's POV "Move," I said. Alex didn't move. He looked at me with that particular patience of his, the kind that wasn't passive, that had iron underneath it, and then his hand closed around my arm and he stepped sideways, drawing me with him into the alcove at the bend of the corridor before I'd processed that it was happening. "What," I pulled back. He released me immediately but the alcove was small and his presence filled the rest of it. "What are you doing?" "Keeping you from making another mistake." His voice was low. Not unkind. But carrying the weight of someone who had decided this conversation was necessary regardless of whether I wanted it. "I made a political point," "You publicly challenged his authority." The quiet in his voice made it worse somehow. More serious than shouting would have. "In front of his court. In front of the exact people," He stopped. Exhaled. "You cannot do that again." My heart was going too fast. I pressed my back against the a
