Theo’s point of view

I don’t know what’s worse—the fact that we were almost fooled by a dog, or the grin Jack’s wearing now.

Barefoot. Smug. Standing like this is all some kind of joke and he’s the one telling it.

Eva’s still got her hands raised, white magic fading from her fingertips in lazy curls of light. Her face is unreadable—cold, focused—but I see the tension in her jaw.

Jack gives a lazy bow, as if we’ve stumbled into his private theater. “Ta-da.”

Silence stretches like wire, thin and ready to snap.

Trixie’s the first to break it. “That’s Jack?” Her voice is sharp with disbelief. “We almost made friendship bracelets with that thing.”

“Don’t take it personally,” Jack says, smoothing his hair back. “I’m adorable.”

I take a step forward, putting myself between him and the others. My wolf presses hard against my skin, snarling, furious. Kill. It’s not even a thought—it’s instinct.

“Shift,” I order Michael and Parker without taking my eyes off Jack. “Now.”

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 161 - The Price of Knowing

    Carol’s point of view I can hear them. All of them. Voices swirling around like wind through broken glass. Zac’s voice, low and steady. Selene crying. Nathaniel giving orders like this is all some routine procedure. But I’m somewhere else. Floating, sinking, burning—everything burns. It’s like that nightmare you can’t wake up from—the kind where you try to scream, but your throat doesn’t work, and your limbs are filled with sand. Except here, it’s worse. Here, everything hurts. My skin, my bones, even the soft parts inside—they all burn. Like someone poured boiling water into my veins and forgot to stop. I try to move. I can’t. But I can feel them lifting me. “…the chamber…” someone says. “Purification…” another voice murmurs. No. No, I don’t want to go anywhere. I don’t want to— The world shifts. Cold air hits my skin, sharp and metallic, like stepping barefoot onto ice. They put me down. A hard floor beneath me, biting into my shoulder blades. I manage to open my eyes a f

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 160 - Fractures in the Garden

    Zach’s point of view It’s one of those rare mornings where everything feels almost normal. The girls are making flower crowns, sitting cross-legged in the soft grass. Selene’s kneeling with them, weaving stems together like she’s done this a thousand times before. Her hair’s braided loosely, strands curling around her face in soft wisps. She looks—content. Happy, even. I lean back against the old garden wall, stretching my legs, the sun warming my face. For once, the camp doesn’t smell like sweat and training mats—it smells like crushed grass and wildflowers. Peaceful. Ordinary. Carol lifts her crown in victory. “Ta-da!” Selene laughs softly. “Beautiful.” “It’s lopsided,” Lily says critically, tilting her head. “But in a fun way.” I snort. “Says the one building a shrubbery on her head.” Lily gives me a glare sharp enough to skin a deer. “It’s artistic.” “Looks like a bush someone forgot to water,” I mutter. Selene shoots me a warning look, but she’s hiding a smile. “Oh, d

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 158 The Puppy’s Grin

    Eva’s point of view I watch as black fog rises from the scratches the dog makes in the dirt. He’s pure white—fluffy, almost cute—but around him, oily strands of black fog twist and curl like smoke from a dying fire. “Do you see this?” Elias whispers at my side, his voice sharp with unease. “Is that… normal?” “I don’t think they see it,” Sonia murmurs, her tone somewhere between wonder and suspicion. “You see it because you’re warded against black magic,” I whisper back to Elias. “And you”—I glance at Sonia—“you passed through the purification process.” They nod, both falling silent, watching. Without a word, I kill the engine and open the door, stepping out into the thick, humid air. My boots hit the ground softly, but the weight of what I’m about to do feels loud. Theo spots me first, walking over with that familiar, maddening mix of worry and command. “Welcome, my queen—” I cut him off with a sharp gesture. I’m already sliding into executioner mode, my voice dropping like a

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 157- Scratches and Secrets

    Theo’s point of view The two weeks are almost up. I expect them back today or tomorrow. I lean against my desk, trying to focus on anything else—but it’s useless. I keep wondering if they’re okay. If she is okay. “Come on,” Aries huffs in the back of my mind. “Grow a pair, Theo. We’re talking about Eva. I’d be worried for everyone else, not her.” I sigh, running a hand through my hair. “I know… but I can’t help it.” I lower my voice. “I’m in love with her.” “I know, man.” Aries’ tone softens for once. “She’ll be back soon. And when she does, you can stop pacing around like an idiot.” I roll my eyes. “I’m not pacing.” A pause. “Also, I don’t like that damn puppy they adopted.” I blink. “The puppy?” “That’s not a puppy—that’s bad news in a fluffy package. Have you seen how it bites everyone? Scratches, too.” A laugh rumbles out of my chest. “Are you jealous of a puppy?” “I’m not jealous,” Aries grumbles. “I just don’t trust it. And it scratched you.” I glance at my wrist. S

  • The executioner and the Alpha King   Chapter 156—Cursed and Fluffy

    Jack’s POV I run like hell toward the castle, paws pounding the ground like war drums. That slimy little mage trapped me in my wolf form and sent me to die. Thought he was clever, didn’t he? Thought I’d just roll over and take it. But I’m going to fight my way out of this, even if I have to take half of them down with me. The first person I see—I launch at him like my life depends on it. Which it does. They all know my wolf form. I was one of their elders once. I am power. I am fear. Or—I was. I close the distance, lips curling back, ready to rip, tear, destroy— And what comes out of my throat is… a bark. A high-pitched, pathetic yip. What. The. Bloody. Hell. I skid to a stop, ears twitching in horror. The man crouches in front of me, a guard in standard castle gear, with an expression like he’s just found a lost kitten on his doorstep. “Hey there, little puppy. Are you lost?” Lost? Lost? I try to lunge for his throat, but all I manage is an awkward flail of stubby p
