All Chapters of The Alpha General's Substitute Bride: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

ARCHERI caught the shocked, pained look in my female’s eyes when she saw the burn on her hand.I saw red and threw myself at that stranger.Half shifted, my claws went straight for his neck, ready to rip his throat out, but he was quick, and this strange magic was seeping out of his pores and shooting at me like razor blades.A few of those hits landed, and I hissed even harder when the corrosive poison slid into my veins.He felt almost at an SS level, and I was sure that wasn’t even his deadliest trick.He pulled a sword out of nowhere, its blade glowing emerald green, and the shine from my own sword over the fireplace flashed in my eyes.I dove for it after going at him in a suicidal charge.“Archer!” Tempest called my name when she saw the wound on my chest, but I still managed to get close enough to kick him and send him flying through the balcony doors.I lunged for the black-bladed sword, snatching it up just in time to block one of those sharp projectiles.It bounced off the

TEMPESTA few days later, we received the man sent from the Nivar realm.After that huge scare, what stayed with me was curiosity.I still didn’t understand why the King despised my family so much, or me, but soon the sins of my ancestors were laid out for me.“Welcome to our realm,” Archer said, dipping his head in a curt nod.He didn’t care much for the Venefrix, and honestly, his first impression of them was pretty disgusting.We were standing at the main doors of the castle, waiting for some lavish carriage to pull up.I also greeted the bespectacled man with dark hair as he stepped up to the entrance.“Thank you for receiving me, Your Majesties. I’m Counselor Marco Ventura,” he said politely, but his eyes were watching me with open curiosity.Or more like, watching my belly while he tried to play it cool.He seemed a little more approachable than King Venefrix.“Alpha King Archer. And I’m Tempest...”“My Queen,” Archer added with a little snort.I still wasn’t used to that pompou

Eight and a Half Months LaterTEMPEST“Mmm, that feels so good, get this side too,” I bossed my man around like a queen, but being stuck with this belly that won’t even let me breathe gives me all the power.“As you command, boss.” His rough voice rumbled in my ear with a low laugh that made me shiver.“Mmm, delicious...” I melted against that solid chest like I didn’t have a single bone in my body.All my weight was sprawled over Archer, who was sitting against the headboard of the bed.His rough hands moved gently over my skin, spreading the moisturizer.Thankfully the baby stayed calm, because every time Archer got close to my belly, she went wild.She loved showing off for her father... but maybe she was sleeping now.“Here too?” Archer kissed the side of my neck as his hands slid up under my open nightgown and cupped my sensitive breasts.“Mmm, no... they hurt... and they’re already leaking nonstop, it’s annoying,” I muttered, pretending to complain when honestly nothing about th

NARRATOR“Stay away from my daughter.” His Alpha aura flared, full of hostility, as he almost ran to Amaya’s crib.The blond man stepped aside and turned to face him.King Venefrix had slipped into his chambers again.Archer reached the crib where the baby lay awake, kicking her hands and feet in the air, eyes bright and smiling.“Daddy,” she called, yawning, and Archer’s expression softened, but he still lifted the blanket to check her.“I would never hurt her,” Cassian’s voice came from nearby.“And how am I supposed to believe that when you hate every last descendant of that family?” Archer shot back through gritted teeth.Amaya’s head was already drooping, about to fall asleep again.“I didn’t kill the mother. Do you really think I’d come for a baby?” Just the thought of it made Cassian’s whole body twist with indignation.He hadn’t been able to stop himself from seeing her.He didn’t crave her as his mate, he only saw a tiny living thing. It was the damn curiosity that was killin

NARRATIONNot even fifteen minutes had gone by since her arrogant King had left the tiny dressing room when someone knocked on the door in a rush.She twisted her lips, dragging the brush slowly through her hair. She knew exactly who it was.“Come in.”Without waiting another second, the chubby owner of that quirky, traveling circus stepped into her dressing room.“Princess Amaya...”“I told you not to call me that in here. And close the door.” Amaya let the brush drop hard onto the vanity.The poor man was already sweating, and now he had to negotiate with the other side.If it weren’t for the profits, he never would’ve agreed to this madness, much less lied straight to King Venefrix’s face.He slammed the door shut and stayed there with his back against it.“Fine... Zafira.” He used the stage name she’d picked for herself to play the acrobat in his show.Amaya had only used her wolf’s name in case Cassian ever bothered to ask for her real one.“Did he come see you?”“Yes, yes,” the
