Semua Bab Alpha King's Unmated Sister-in-law: Bab 1 - Bab 10

It was so peaceful here it hurt.How long had Beth suffered that the first moment without pain, only calm and quiet, could hurt her so badly? She doubled over and fell to her side, half-sprawled, half-curled. She had no idea where she was or what had happened to her, but this was too much to take in. This empty place she could neither describe nor even properly see, hear, taste, nothing - this place where she was no longer in pain, no longer dying, this place where her body had at least found peace and respite from the torment, the agony... She didn't know if she could take it. She didn't know who she was without the pain."Come."The gentle voice came from above her, and all at once, someone was standing in front of her. Beth's gaze drifted up, following the woman's willowy frame until it rested upon her face.And oh, she was beautiful. Young and old at the same time, innocent but wise, joy tempered by age-old tragedy. She had the softness of feathers, the brilliance of wildflow

But now that he was close enough for Beth to see properly, there could be no mistake. But he was so young! She had only ever known this man in her previous life after he was fully grown, the most dangerous werewolf no one ever dared to cross one-on-one...But here he was right in her family home, glaring daggers at Matt. Moon Goddess, he still had a fearsome aura. Even at this age, had he already been so frightening? He had grown up to become ruthless, savage, the terrifying dictator of his pack's territory who ruled in blood and violence, but he couldn't be but still in his teens now. How unsettling...especially since toward the end of Beth's life, there had been those so terrified of this man that they refused to speak his name.Daniel. Daniel Heether, the younger brother of the man she was supposed to marry, the youngest son of the Heether family. This was the young man who called her 'sister-in-law' now, and in just a handful of years, would bathe in the blood of countless werewol

Dark. Cold. Daniel had always possessed the most resilient constitution despite being the youngest of his brothers, but he had just woken up shivering and dizzy. Was this a nightmare? Had he fallen asleep and slipped into a murky dream? He could see nothing at all no matter how many times he blinked to clear his vision...but it was no dream. When he moved to stand, he noticed at last the heavy, ugly weight of manacles on his wrists and ankles. Chains clanked against the wall when he tugged at them in vain, but he didn't get a second chance to try to break free. With a snarl, he shrank back, hunching his back. Protruding diagonally from his right shoulder, lodged deep under his collarbone and the feathered fletching just barely visible in the darkness, was a heavy arrow. If he could shift, he could try to force it out since his regeneration had clearly failed him, but the manacles would crush his bones.But at least the darkness was lifting since he could see the arrow. His vision mu

They were on their way back home at last, Daniel and the men who had been captured with him. Beth didn't know why he was the only one who had been so stubborn that he refused medical care all this time when everyone else was hale and healthy. In fact, he was the one slowing them down, and finally, after a day of traveling through hard terrain, he ordered them to go on without him. He would follow at his own pace as his body recovered now that Beth had treated his wound. "No," she said flatly when he tried to make her go with them. "You can make them obey, but not me. So stop trying." "You -" "I said no." "You've been angry at me since we left Troy territory," she said, voice flinty and sparking with impatience. "And now you're only taking back the cold shoulder treatment to tell me to leave? Forget it. I came all this way on foot and alone without your family's permission or mine to get you out of there, so I'm not leaving on your word either." "And how exactly did you do that, B

That was how far this piece of shit was going to go? Daniel looked him up and down, measuring the worth of the Catii family's heir. They were nearly the same age, Matthew Catii only several months older, but he was shorter and skinnier, less built. The Heether family had always been well-built, but comparing their physical gifts was just a sad affair. Matthew Catii should keep to himself instead of stirring snakes' nests. He wasn't...constructed for confrontation. Especially not with Daniel, who was being steadily tested past his limits. He was one breath away from snapping."No, thank you," he said. "Beth is not a bargaining chip to get to your information. You should leave. Now.""Don't be ridiculous. I'm offering more than information, I'm offering help. Moon Goddess knows you need it -"Daniel shifted. He was already bare-chested from training several minutes before he went in to see his father, but the rest of his clothes were torn to shreds as muscles bulged, fur bristled, and h
