151~ Filth Like You Are Not Welcome Here

Sophia’s Point Of View“What’s going on here?” he asked, his voice deep, commanding. It wasn’t a question. It was a demand.The hallway fell into a suffocating silence. Avery sniffled against the guard’s chest, then lifted her tear-streaked face to look at him.“She attacked me…” she whispered, just loud enough to be heard. “Kaien… she said she wanted to kill me…” I looked at him, wide-eyed, trembling, my voice barely a whisper. “She’s lying…”His eyes narrowed ever so slightly, a storm brewing beneath their surface.“No… no, please… you have to believe me,” I said, my voice cracking, raw with disbelief. “She’s lying! I didn’t touch her, she did that to herself! She tore her dress, cut her own skin, and—she threw herself to the ground!”I tried to step forward, trembling, hands raised in defense. I wasn’t thinking clearly—I only wanted someone to see the truth. But Avery’s soft, trembling voice cut through the tension like a polished blade.“She said I don’t deserve to live,” Avery wh

152~ I'm Going To Give You A Big Reward

Avery’s Point Of ViewI couldn’t stop the smirk curling at the edge of my lips as I walked through the polished corridors of the Alpha’s wing, my gown trailing behind me like a river of silk and blood. Each step echoed softly against the marble, matching the sharp rhythm of my heart. Triumph, it was addictive, bitter, and sweet all at once.I wouldn’t lie to myself, when I first laid eyes on Sophia standing beside him… Julian… my chest had clenched so tightly I thought I might shatter right there in front of the entire court.It had shaken me. More than I cared to admit.I had prepared for this, rehearsed it in my head a thousand times. After all, Kaiden’s decree had been clear… all Alphas in Aethoria were to be present at the royal announcement. It was inevitable. They were bound to come. But still… seeing them there, together… the smugness on Julian’s stupid, beautiful face like he hadn’t left me for her… like he hadn’t chosen her over me as if I was dirt beneath his boots…For a mo

153~ Anything For My Queen

Avery’s Point Of ViewHis words echoed inside me long after they left his mouth. “I’m going to give you a big reward.” And gods help me, I wanted it. I wanted him.Not because of dominance, not because of power, not because I had anything to prove, but because in that moment, he was home. Kaiden, my mate, my King, my safe place in a world that had tried to break me over and over again.With him, I wasn’t a broken girl or a dethroned heir or a victim of betrayal… I was Avery. Whole. Fierce. Loved.And I could feel it in every brush of his fingers, every deliberate slide of his palm as he moved it down my thigh. It wasn’t just touch, it was promise. Silent, soul-wrenching promise that whispered, I see you. All of you. And I’m not going anywhere.His body covered mine, caging me in, not like a trap, but like a fortress. His warmth seeped into my skin, and every inch of me ached to be closer. It wasn’t enough. I wanted to climb into his chest and beat alongside his heart.Kaiden leaned in

154~ It's Happening Again

Kaiden’s Point Of ViewThe soft rise and fall of her chest against mine was almost enough to make me forget the entire damn world existed beyond this room. Almost.Her hair was a wild halo across the pillow, skin flushed, lips parted as she caught her breath. And gods, the sight of her, sated, soft, glowing with the aftermath of what we’d just shared, made something ancient and primal inside me hum with satisfaction.Mine.The word pulsed deep in my bones, in my soul, where the bond between us burned like wildfire. But duty was a cruel mistress, and the murmuring hum of the ball below was an insistent reminder of the world waiting for us beyond these walls.“Time to go back to the ball, Snowy,” I murmured against her hair, pressing a kiss to her temple. She winced, nuzzling closer into me like a sleepy cat refusing to be disturbed. “I don’t want to go.”I chuckled, low and full of contentment. “Neither do I.”But I had to. We both did. Alphas don’t vanish from their own coronation bal

155~ I Would Fight The Abyss Itself If It Meant Saving Him

Avery’s Point Of ViewSomething was wrong.I could feel it in my bones, like a shift in the atmosphere, like a crack in glass you can’t see but you feel. My smile had already begun to falter the moment Kaiden stumbled slightly, his breath sharp, his posture off. I’d seen him fight in wars. I’d seen him bleed. I’d seen him brutal, cold, ruthless.But I’d never seen him look like that. My Kaiden didn’t stagger. He didn’t flinch from his enemies. And he sure as hell didn’t flee from a ballroom full of Alphas he could crush with a thought. The unease rose like bile up my throat. Sharp. Bitter.And now… now I stood in a corner of the ballroom that felt entirely too bright, too loud, too glittering to hold the weight of the dread curling around my stomach.The murmurs of the other Alphas continued around me, false laughter, political smiles, lingering tension from Sophia’s earlier disgrace, and Kaiden’s commanding speech. But it all felt like background noise compared to the roaring panic i

156~ It's Tied To The Mark

Avery’s Point Of ViewFor a moment, I swear I forgot how to breathe.The thing standing in front of me was no longer just Kaiden’s shifted form. It was… wrong. Warped. Twisted by something old and cruel. His massive body towered over me, muscles coiled with barely restrained violence, shoulders hunched like a predator seconds from lunging.But it was the eyes that shattered something inside me. They flickered. Flickered like a storm caught between two skies. For one second, just one… emerald green.My heart seized in my chest. I knew that green. The color of forests right before a summer storm, the color I stared into every time Kaiden leaned down to kiss me like I was his entire damn world.“Kaiden…” I whispered, my voice cracking, desperate.Then, they shifted again.Blood red.Deep, ancient, glowing like forge-fire, like fury unchained. Gone. Like he’d slipped back under the waves. The breath I didn’t know I’d been holding snapped from my lungs, sharp and shaking.And then, he move
