The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 21: Ashina’s Unborn Weapon
(Daciana POV)The ground beneath the sacred circle opened with a sound like old bones cracking, and red light bled through the silver dust.Gonzalo’s blood crawled toward my feet like a living snake, carrying the unborn child’s heartbeat inside every dark red line.Ashina screamed again, but this time the sound was not victory, rage, or performance made beautiful for frightened wolves.It was pain.Real pain.The kind that stripped masks from faces and left only the terrified person underneath.Her black feather crown burned above her head, yet the fire did not consume it, because the ritual fed from suffering instead of wood.Adolphus stood behind her with both hands lifted toward the moon, smiling like a priest blessing a grave he had dug himself.“Begin,” he whispered, and the word moved through the field like a command older than any Alpha voice.The moonlight changed.It was no longer silver.It turned pale red, then black at the edges, as if the night itself had begun to bleed.
The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 20: The Captain Who Betrayed the King
(Daciana POV)Gonzalo knelt beneath the moonlight with every wolf staring at him, and the black feather over his heart burned through his armor.For one long moment, nobody spoke, because betrayal looked different when it wore the face of a man everyone had trusted.Conri stood frozen beside me, his sword still half-raised, his silver eyes fixed on the captain who had guarded his life for years.I had seen Conri angry before, cold before, dangerous before, but I had never seen him look truly wounded until that moment.Gonzalo had stood beside him in war, carried his orders, protected Northridge gates, and smiled like loyalty had lived inside his bones.Now the moon had shown Ashina’s unborn child tied to him, and every oath he had ever spoken trembled beneath that silver truth.Ashina stood inside the sacred circle with one hand over her stomach, crying and laughing softly like even she feared what had been revealed.Adolphus watched us all with a smile that made the night feel older,
The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 19: The Night the Moon Chose Again
(Daciana POV)Otsana’s words stayed in the courtyard after Ashina escaped, colder than the smoke and heavier than the broken stones beneath my feet.Adolphus did not need Ashina’s child.He needed me.The thought crawled under my skin like a hidden blade, because my life had become the missing piece in too many dead men’s plans.Blackfang wolves stood around me in silence, no longer kneeling to Ashina but not brave enough to look fully at me either.They had bowed to the maid who stole my place, believed her tears, chanted her name, and called her the mother of their future.Now they stared at me as if my survival could forgive what their fear had helped destroy.It could not.I looked at the burned black feathers hanging above the courtyard and felt my old mate mark pulse beneath my collar.Bardolph felt it too.I knew because his hand moved toward his own chest before he forced it back to his side.That small restraint should not have mattered.It did.I hated what it did.Conri sto
The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 18: The Baby Lie
(Daciana POV)Blackfang knelt before Ashina like fear had become a king, and every black feather above us glowed with stolen obedience.I stood in the courtyard wearing servant brown, watching the pack that once rejected me bow to the woman who had destroyed us all.Ashina’s hand rested on her stomach, and her smile carried the cruel peace of someone who had found the perfect shield.A child.Nothing divided wolves faster than a child claimed beneath pack law, especially when the mother stood wounded, beautiful, and publicly wronged.Bardolph stood beside me, pale and silent, and the living bond between us trembled with shame I did not want to feel.His shame entered me anyway, hot and ugly, reminding me that his mistake had grown teeth inside another woman’s mouth.I wanted to hate him cleanly.I wanted the sight of Ashina’s hand on her stomach to kill every memory of loving him.But hatred was not clear when the bond still breathed, when his pain still found me, and when a pack’s fu
The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 17: Ashina’s Second Crown
(Daciana POV)Otsana’s words hung over the garden like a curse, and for several breaths nobody moved, spoke, or even seemed alive.The moon would demand a choice before the next full moon, and if I refused, the bond, crown, and blood oath might choose for me.I looked at Conri’s closed fist, where the regent’s token rested like a quiet promise waiting to become a chain.Then I looked at Bardolph’s hand, where my baby bracelet and the old marriage contract carried the weight of a dead Alpha’s plan.One man offered me a future I had not asked for, and another brought proof that my past had been stolen before I could speak.The old mate mark on my shoulder still burned faintly, reminding me that even my body had become a battlefield for other people’s claims.“I will not choose tonight,” I said, and my voice sounded calmer than the storm breaking behind my ribs.Conri lowered his head once, accepting the answer with the control of a king who understood waiting could also be loyalty.Bard
The Maid Who Stole My Alpha Chapter 16: Conri’s Dangerous Offer
(Daciana POV)Otsana’s warning stayed in my chest long after she left, beating beside the mate mark like a second frightened heart.If Ashina learned how to command the wounded bond, she would not need chains to drag Bardolph or me into her hands.The thought made my skin crawl because I had spent so much strength trying to become free from Bardolph’s mistake.Now the moon itself had left a thread between us, not soft enough to comfort me but strong enough to be used against us.Conri dismissed the servants from the lower hall, but his eyes never left my shoulder where Bardolph’s old mark still pulsed faintly.Tala wanted me to rest, Rieka wanted me to eat, and Otsana wanted to bind the mark with silver herbs before midnight.I wanted all of them to stop looking at me like I was a wound walking upright in burnt brown.“I need air,” I said, stepping away from the opened box and the letter my mother had left behind.Conri moved before anyone else could answer, but he did not touch me or
