Semua Bab FATED TO THE ALPHA I WAS BORN TO KILL: Bab 11 - Bab 19

Nyra's POVWhen I left Kade's castle for the Dreadmoor, what I didn't expect to see was Kade beneath a creepy-looking beast pleading for his dear life. I thoughtlessly swung a surge of magic at the beast, sending it flying to the other end of the room. It most certainly wasn't dead. I'd deal with it later. First, I need to talk to Kade and find out why on Earth he decided to embark on this suicide 1mission."Nyra?" Kade asked, unable to hide his disbelief."In the flesh," I said, throwing my arms in the air."No, no, no, you can't be here. How?" He asked?"Well, I am.""But Riven. I told him to…wait, does he know you're here?""You should be thanking the gods that I came in here to save your sorry ass."His face went pale. "You shouldn't be here, Nyra.""You're welcome. Someone needed to pull you out of this suicide mission.""You need to leave.""I'm not going anywhere."Nyra, don't test me. Go home and rest! I don't need your help."The beast lunged at Kade again. We didn't even hea

Nyra's POVI've seen the strangest creatures in my lifetime, from the shadow-breathing Wraithborns to the creepy beast I'd just fought with Kade. But standing before me was a creature like none other. Unbelievably attractive, with a perfectly shaped and symmetrically aligned face, carefully sketched and framed by the artist himself, His eyes drew me in and whispered secrets hidden for ages.And his smile? He had a mischievous smile that promised ruin but somehow made you hope it meant salvation.With bold steps that made no sound on black stone, the god of death waltzed into the chamber as if it were a ballroom."I've waited so long for this moment; however, you have made my patience worthwhile. What a show that was. I haven't seen an Alpha wolf bleed in centuries. Very rewarding."Nyra steadied myself with Kade's arm, forcing myself to stand upright because my legs felt like jelly.Kade drew his claws back in, but his body pulsed with emotion, "It was you. The trail, the beats, the

Nyra's POVThe ground beneath our feet trembled. On reflex, I held on to Kade's arm for support. "What is happening?"Shadows spilt skyward like smoke as the Dreadmoor splintered in explosive cracks. The ancient prison of spirits' centuries-old walls started to collapse in on itself."We need to leave," Kade ordered. "Now."The walls shattered behind us as we fled, jumping over ruins."I think we outdid ourselves. Kade, this might be the cost of the Hades deal!"Although the erratic flare of silver light in his claws revealed the instability tearing through him, Kade stood firm, "I have no regrets." It was as if his bones had turned to flames."Kade!" I called out, grabbing his arm to help him find his balance. He had a frightening spark in his eyes."Are you sure you're okay?""Yeah, yeah, I'm good. I just need a minute. You can go ahead." I didn't stop, but I didn't leave him behind either. I pull him with me. I didn't come this far just to watch Hades take him.We broke past the

Nyra's POVA sea of shadow and gold filled the large banquet hall. The flames of the torches curved toward the vaulted ceiling, where war banners weighed heavily with history, as they lined up along the walls. The drums and strings created an eerie feel as the music floated around the room. Wolves in their finest armor and velvet shuffled past each other, their giggling hushed beneath sparkling masks.Yup. It was a masked ceremony, and everyone seemed to understand that tonight was just a show. At the end of the night, the strongest Alpha of our realm would be bound tonight to his soulmate.I walked through the crowd, my face concealed by a black lace mask. My blood raced, but my hands remained still. The ceremony wasn't any of my business. I shouldn't give a damn. Nevertheless, my gaze never left him.Standing at the center, a pillar of command, Kade wore a mask of shadow and silver. Even behind the mask, I could tell it was him. He had a particular kind of aura that made everyone bo
