บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha Prince's Fierce Bride: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Kai found Darina in the room. She closed the book she was reading and looked up at him. He kissed her forehead and sat on the sofa beside her. "How was your meeting?" "Good. We decided to team up to figure out the rogue camp's location. Their numbers are growing, and they have a self-proclaimed alpha who has organized them into a large pack." "Do you know who he might be?" "No idea," sighed Kai, pouring himself a glass of water. "Anything else?" asked Darina. "We need to be kinder to Jackie," said Kai. "She's having a hard time finding her place after our engagement. Her friends have abandoned her too." "Maybe she's not such a great friend. And maybe, to find her place, she needs to learn more skills than just how to dress up and be a b**ch," said Darina sharply. "Darina, where is this bitterness coming from? That doesn't sound like you." "Maybe you don’t know me well enough. I’m going for a walk," said Darina, and left. She was fuming and confused. Could he really

The night had been epic. Everyone enjoyed themselves and went to bed just before sunrise.Kai and Darina shared a heated make-out session after the celebration in their room and fell asleep peacefully in each other’s arms.The next morning, after breakfast, Darina and the others said their goodbyes to her family and headed to the airport. Much to Darina’s displeasure, Jackie joined them—but to everyone's surprise, she acted sweet and friendly, even managing to stay civil around Bred.Larissa and Troy went along to visit Larissa’s parents and pack her things.Reed and Amber came to the parking lot with fresh marks and mingled scents.“Congratulations,” Kai said. “That was fast.”“We’ve waited for each other too long to hesitate,” Reed replied, and Amber nodded in agreement.“See? Your old-fashioned ways will only bring trouble. Being unmarked is going to backfire on us—I&r

Darina was expecting Kai to come to her room and comfort her. In just one day, she had been nearly poisoned, fought off rogues, and witnessed Bred die right in front of her.She had seen death before—she had killed before—but on the battlefield, not in such a sneaky, cowardly way as poison.It was terrifying to know someone wanted her dead. And deep down, she had a gut feeling it was Jackie."I feel the same," Coral said. "That cunning b**ch just wants to get rid of us.""But we have no proof... not yet," Darina sighed."Reed will get to the bottom of it," Coral replied firmly.Darina looked away, her voice softer. "Coral, I’m not sure I did the right thing opening my heart to Kai. I always feel his doubt, his lack of trust in me. He didn’t believe me again—not enough to open an investigation on Jackie. And now, when I need him the most, he’s not even here. Isn’t that what mates are supposed to do? Love and support yo

Jackie felt water droplets falling on her face and opened her eyes. Ralph’s cold body hovered above her, his skin bluish with purple bruises. She tried to scream in horror, but he covered her mouth with his damp, icy hand.“Hello, little sl*t. You thought you could run from me?” he sneered, his laugh sounding like the screech of a poorly oiled door.He leaned closer, pressing his disgusting, frigid body against hers. “I told you—I was just getting started. Soon you’ll join me in hell. Your days are numbered.”Jackie trembled in fear and disgust as Ralph kissed her earlobe. A wave of nausea slammed into her.He whispered, “I saw it. One week left before your execution. The truth will be revealed, and you’ll lose your pretty little head. Just one week... I’ll chain you to my side. You’ll be crawling for mercy I’ll never give. I’ll toy with your body, taunt you with pleasures you’ll

The whole pack had gathered for the funeral of Bred and Ralph. The air was heavy with the scent of salty tears and loud sobbing. Larissa and Cassandra’s faces were red and swollen from crying—they had known Bred since they were pups.Reed and Kai were grieving, but trying to remain composed. Their mates stood beside them, gently tracing circles on their backs to comfort them. Seeing Bred’s body in the coffin shook Jackie. Once again, she was forced to confront the reality of his death. Jackie trembled and wept, and for a fleeting moment, she thought she saw Ralph’s face in the crowd, smirking at her. Her mother pulled her into an embrace—and Ralph vanished. King Lucas stepped forward and spoke: “We stand today not only in grief but in righteous rage. We have lost two of our kingdom’s sons—Ralph and Bred—too soon. This was no accident. This was murder.Before the eyes of our ancestors and the spirits of the dead, I vow: their deaths will not go unanswered. The coward hiding in the shado
