Chapter 105: A Road Watched by Shadows

Eva’s point of view

It’s been a week since Jack vanished. A whole week since we turned the entire Kingdom upside down looking for him, only to find air and silence. No footprints, no scent, no trace. The bastard disappeared like smoke in the wind. We even searched him before locking him in the dungeon—how the hell did he sneak in a relic? And the guard? Gone. Just gone. No signs of struggle, no remains. Just an empty chair and a cold cup of tea.

I sit on the edge of my bed, staring at the suitcase resting by the door. It’s not much—just enough for a few days at the camp. A change of clothes, some emergency runes, and a knife tucked beneath a rolled-up scarf. Theo insisted on packing food. He even slipped in a jar of honey with a note: “In case things get bitter.” Idiot.

Today’s the day we escort Selene and the twins to the hidden camp. The plan is simple: travel light, stay unnoticed. Only Parker and Sonia are coming with me. Theo stays behind—he’s the king, and more importantly, t

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 271 - “Let Them Talk”

    Britney’s Point of View Victory tastes like honey and blood on my tongue. Sweet. Sticky. Glorious. I walk beside Theo like I own him—because I do. His hand rests on my back like I’m his everything, and he doesn’t even flinch when the castle’s gossip parade begins. Oh, I hear it. The gasps. The whispers. The delicious sound of betrayal on their tongues. “That’s not Eva.” “ Who is she?” “ Why is he not with Eva?” “She doesn’t look like her either .” “She’s the brunette with blue eyes that they said is the end of us.” Exactly. Eva never smiled like me, and i am definitely their end. I lean into Theo just a little more, brushing against him as I pretend not to hear them. But of course I hear them. I crave it. Every word they whisper feeds me like a second breakfast. Theo, bless him, kisses my temple. “Ignore them,” he says, all protective and broody. “They don’t understand.” No, they don’t. But I’ll make them. “I’m used to it,” I murmur, putting on my most innocent voice as

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 270 - “It Happened While We Were Talking”

    Eva’s point of view Elias’s room is a mess of books, maps, and desperate ideas. Sonia paces like a tiger in a cage, Parker sharpens a dagger he doesn’t need, and Elias mutters to himself in three different languages, trying to make sense of the Goddess’s words. “Everything ends where it all started,” he says again, tapping the same line in an ancient text. “But what does that mean? The Academy? The prophecy? Her birth?” I don’t answer. I can’t. Because something inside me shifts. My spine straightens like I’ve been struck. My throat closes. There’s a flash—heat, pressure, skin on skin. Then—pain. Not pain like a blade or a bruise. This is internal. Elemental. A violation of the soul. “Eva?” Parker looks up. I drop to my knees before I realize it. My body folds like a puppet with its strings cut. My stomach twists violently, and my fingers dig into the floorboards like I’m trying to claw my way out of my own skin. “Eva!” Sonia’s beside me in seconds. “What’s happening?!”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 269 — A Wolf in the Mirror

    Theo’s point of view I don’t understand what the hell is wrong with everyone. Sonia keeps looking at me like I’ve betrayed her. Parker barely speaks. Even Elias avoids my gaze like I’m contagious. They keep insisting—whispering, arguing, pleading—that the woman beside me is not Eva. But when I look at her, I see everything I’ve ever loved. The sharpness in her eyes. The power beneath her calm. That beautiful, deadly calm that’s always drawn me in like a flame. I see her scars. I see her pain. I see my mate. “She’s not Eva, Theo,” Sonia said this morning, her voice trembling like glass about to shatter. “You’re under a spell.” I laughed. “Don’t be ridiculous.” “She tricked you. She’s not her.” “She is.” I growled. But even as I said it, something inside me shifted. Just for a second. A flicker. A pause. And then… she touched my hand. The moment her fingers wrapped around mine, the doubts vanished like smoke. Her scent wrapped around me—warm, dark honey and stormy nights.

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 268 - “Four Days, One Puzzle, and Zero Patience”

    Sonia’s point of view We have four days left. Four. Just enough time to ruin everything. I don’t remember the last time I slept properly. Probably because every time I close my eyes, I see Britney’s smirking face trying to claw her way into Theo’s neck. And if that mark is completed, if the bond becomes irreversible… We’ll lose him. And Aries. Forever. I’m pacing again. Fifth lap across the war room floor—though calling it a “war room” is generous. It’s just the castle’s old music room, hastily repurposed. There’s still a piano in the corner covered in dust and regrets. “Okay,” I say, spinning on my heel. “Let’s try this again. We’ve got Eva, the real Eva—” I point to her. “We’ve got Trixie, whose legs apparently don’t work like normal people’s—” she’s still hanging off the armchair like a dead bat, “—and the rest of you half-functioning disasters. Let’s go over what we know.” Elias stretches his legs. “You forgot to mention Parker, our walking secret box.” “I apolog

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 267 -Guilt and confessions

    “The Mirror Lies, But the Blood Knows” Trixie’s point of view I feel like someone ripped the sky off my world and showed me the real stars for the first time. Eva stands across the room—silent, breathless, and herself. Her real self. The cold smirk is gone. The false glint in her eyes, vanished. No more polite venom or fake affection. Just Eva. The one I fought beside, bled beside. The one I doubted. I was so sure she changed. Turns out, I was just looking in the damn mirror. I sit cross-legged on the stone floor, picking at the loose threads on my leggings. Parker sits beside me, unusually quiet. Which is weird, because this is normally where he’d insert a joke about brainwashing or how he always knew something was off, but of course couldn’t say anything because of “reasons” and “secrets” and “mysterious brooding powers.” But now… he just looks tired. “So,” I say, finally breaking the silence. “You gonna tell me what that ‘reason’ was? Or should I keep pretending I don’t al

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 266 - Together again

    Eva’s point of view The moment Sonia called her name—her real name—everything shifted. It was like breathing for the first time after being buried alive. Like stepping out of a nightmare, only to find your hands bloodied from clawing at the walls. I didn’t even realize how much I needed them—my people—until I saw the recognition flash in their eyes again. Trixie is the first to run to me. No hesitation, no questions. Just her arms wrapped around my neck and her mascara smeared on my shoulder. “You bitch,” she sobs, “I thought I lost you.” “Me too,” I mutter, holding her tighter than I probably should. Then came Michael, who just gave me a nod—stern and quiet—but the way he hoveres near me like a damn hawk speaks volumes.. Elias just smiles and watches over me. Parker grinns like he hadn’t seen me in years and, of course, tries to cover his emotion with sarcasm. Typical. “Well, well, the corpse lives. I guess miracles do happen.” “I’ll kill you later,” I tell him. “Can’t
