Garrick’s POV

I’d seen a lot of things in my lifetime—bloodied battlefields, rogues tearing their own kin apart, the betrayal of men who once called themselves brothers—but nothing, not a single gods-damned thing, could have prepared me for this.

For her.

Lyra sat across from us, her body rigid, but it wasn’t Lyra speaking. It was Ember. Her wolf’s presence was very commanding and comforting at the same time. Something about her felt…ancient, every word rolling off her tongue was calm yet carried power. She wasn’t timid or cautious like Lyra—no, Ember burned.

Her golden eyes locked onto Ronan with an intensity that made even him falter. “You hide behind your temper, Ronan. But Alaric is clawing at the surface. Come out.”

I had never in my entire life seen someone command the king but then Ronan’s wolf broke through. His eyes turned buring golf, and his lips curled back, not in aggression but just to show his canines a bit. In some sort of grotesque smile.

“You’re my mate,” Alaric rumb

  • The alpha king's slave mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY EIGHT

    Celeste's pov Chaos erupted.Ronan's sword was out in an instant, his voice carrying over the clearing. "Protect the child! Form defensive positions!"Our soldiers moved with ease, creating a barrier between the cult members and where Lyra stood holding Daemon. But we were outnumbered—I counted at least thirty cultists pouring from the forest, maybe more hidden in the shadows.Lord Vance raised his hands and shadow magic coiled around his fingers like living serpents. He had stolen power somehow, corrupted himself deliberately. His eyes flickered between normal and solid black."Kill anyone who resists," he commanded. "But the child and the Moon Blessed—take them alive."The cultists rushed forward.I drew my sword—the weapon feeling more natural in my hands now after months of desperate practice. A cultist came at me, wild-eyed and screaming about the Shadow Queen's glory. I parried his first strike, countered with one of my own that opened his shoulder. He fell back and two more to

  • The alpha king's slave mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SEVEN

    Celeste's povThe trail led us deeper into wilderness I had never seen before—ancient forest where the trees grew so thick their canopy blocked out the sun. The air itself felt different here, heavy with old magic that made my skin prickle."This place predates both kingdoms," Theron said quietly as we walked. "These are the old woods. The places that existed before wolves built their walls and claimed their territories."The shadow corruption grew stronger as we followed the trail. Dead animals littered the path—birds that had fallen from the sky mid-flight, deer collapsed where they stood. The plants turned black and brittle at our touch.And then we saw it.An ancient shrine rose from the forest floor like a monument to forgotten gods. Stone pillars carved with symbols I did not recognize surrounded a circular clearing. In the center, half-collapsed but still standing, was an altar covered in moss and vines.And huddled at the base of that altar was a woman.She clutched something

    Celeste's pov The emergency summit convened within three days of my letter reaching Shadowfang. We met in neutral territory—a small fortress halfway between our kingdoms that had once been a border outpost during the wars. Now it served as a symbol of our alliance, a place where both kingdoms could gather without either feeling they stood on enemy ground. Lyra arrived looking tired but determined, her pregnancy now unmistakable beneath her traveling cloak. Ronan hovered at her side like a protective shadow, one hand always touching her—her elbow, her back, her shoulder—as if he could shield her from danger through proximity alone. King Aldric came with his usual contingent of advisors. And Theron arrived carrying an entire chest of ancient texts and documents he had been studying. I brought Mira and the guard with the same name as her, along with all the evidence we had gathered from the cult investigations. "Thank you all for coming," I said once we had settled around the larg

    Celeste's povThe report came three days after my nightmare.One of my guards—a sharp-eyed woman coincidentally named Mira who had proven herself invaluable—requested an urgent audience. I was reviewing trade agreements when she entered my study, her face grim."Your Grace, we found something. Beneath the old merchant district."I set down my quill. "Found what?""A meeting in the uderground. About twenty people gathered in what looks like an old wine cellar." She paused. "They were performing some kind of ritual."My blood ran cold. "Cult activity?""Yes, Your Grace. We arrested them all. They are in the dungeons now, awaiting your orders."I stood immediately. "Take me to them."Mira hesitated. "Your Grace, perhaps it would be better to let the guards handle the interrogations—""No." My voice came out harder than I intended. "These people worship my mother's memory. They are her legacy, her poison still seeping through this kingdom. I need to understand what they want. What they ar

    Celeste's povI was summoned to shadows fang two days after meeting Theron.I had kept him under guard in Moonstone while I sent urgent messages to Lyra and Ronan. The old man had been patient, spending his time reading in the guest quarters I had assigned him, never once complaining about the armed guards stationed outside his door.Now we gathered in Shadowfang's great library—a room I had never seen before, filled with ancient books and scrolls that smelled of dust and secrets. Lyra sat in a cushioned chair, her pregnancy now visible beneath her flowing gown. Ronan stood protectively behind her, one hand resting on her shoulder. King Aldric leaned against a bookshelf, his aged eyes sharp and assessing.And Theron stood before us all, looking far too calm for a man who claimed the world was in danger.He was ancient—truly ancient. His skin was wrinkles like old paper, his hair white as fresh snow, his hands gnarled with age. But his eyes were clear and bright, burning with an intell

  • The alpha king's slave mate   CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THREE

    Celeste's povI visited Lyra two days after she collapsed. I had to leave to attend to something in moonstone then return.The healers had confined her to bed rest something she was taking about as well as a caged wolf. When I entered her chambers, I found her sitting up against a mountain of pillows, glaring at a book she was clearly not reading."They will not let me do anything," she said by way of greeting. "Ronan hovers like I am made of glass. The healers check on me every hour. King Aldric keeps bringing me soup. I am pregnant, not dying."I could not help but smile. "They love you. Let them fuss.""It is suffocating." But her hand moved unconsciously to rest on her still-flat stomach, and her expression softened. "A baby. I still cannot believe it.""Conceived during the blood oath ritual," I said, settling into the chair beside her bed. "The healers say the magic and the mate bond combined. It is... extraordinary.""It is terrifying." Lyra's storm-gray eyes met mine. "I have
