Chapter 11

~RAGNAR~Well, this just got fun.Suri lets out a soft gasp as she sees the danger, and she moves closer, pressing her whole body to mine. Instinct kicks in. Without thinking, I twist so I’m between her and over twenty poison arrows. Leo is roaring in my skull, ready to paint the walls red, danger or not. Dray shoots me a quick look and shakes his head, already knowing what’s in my mind. This is definitely not how we planned our visit. Lawrence has gone past the last straw and broken the whole broom.A thick silence drops over the court. Lawrence’s ugly smile stretches even wider, and even his dramatic Luna snaps out of her fake crying and starts smiling too.I blink. Seriously? Do these people think I would walk in here without backup? Lawrence must have convinced himself that I’m young, stupid, and raised by goats. I let out a low chuckle and shake my head. Dray snorts right after me. Our reaction wipes the smiles off every face in the room. Now they all look confused, which is hone

Chapter 12

~SURI~‘What better way than to give you this cursed heir of mine?’Father’s words keep looping in my head like a broken record.I promised myself that I would never cry for my father again. I truly did. But here I am, ugly-sobbing into tissue number six or seven, I lost count, while sitting cross-legged on the world’s biggest bed. Honestly, it is annoying. I am not usually a crybaby, I swear on my empty stomach.I know I look pathetic, but come on. Finding out your own father would happily watch you get turned into a pincushion? That hits different. It does something strange to your tear glands. They just open like tap water.Great job, tear ducts. Traitors.My mind keeps replaying what happened today. The look on my father’s face when he ordered them to shoot us. The disgust. The hatred. The way he didn’t even blink while throwing me away like I was an old shoe. I blow my nose into the tissue and try to pull myself together. No way I’m letting these Lycans see me like this. They alr

Chapter 13

~SURI~We finish the rest of dinner in silence. Well, he finishes. I mostly push potatoes around. My appetite died the moment he said he is not done with me yet. Imagine eating peacefully while thinking about your possible doom. Not happening.“You did not eat your meal,” King Ragnar says. It is not a question. He lifts his wine glass and watches me over the rim.“I lost my appetite,” I mutter. Then, because my brain-to-mouth filter is clearly broken, I blurt, “And what else do you want from me?”“Why don’t you have a wolf?”I blink at him, stunned. The question hits me so fast my brain actually lags. His amber eyes are locked on me, unblinking. Oh great, here we go. Is he offended that I do not have a wolf? Does he think I’m too weak to be his queen?“Well… because the Moon Goddess decided I do not deserve one,” I answer, shrugging like my whole existence is not crumbling inside.He tilts his head. “Is that what you think?”“What else am I supposed to think? And why are you suddenly

Chapter 14

~RAGNAR & SURI~~RAGNAR~She is just a womb for my heir.This is what I repeat to myself, lying down here beside my dear little wife, who is, by the way, sleeping peacefully… and snoring. She had suffered a panic attack after learning about being poisoned right from childhood. Suri is a mysterious species. Outside, she is all sassy and smart-mouthed, but inside, she is just a vulnerable girl who wants to be loved genuinely. I had seen it all today, from the raw hatred her father showed, and the way she had gone all silent and cried later, even though she tried to hide it afterward.I need to dig into her childhood. I need to find out why her wolf has been suppressed for so long, why she didn’t die with the amount of aconite and fadevine in her. I need to know why Lawrence had blamed the death of his wife on a helpless child for so long, or it could all be a ruse to get me to let down my guard. I wipe my face with my palm. He had done that with my father. But the hatred in his eyes had

Chapter 15

~SURI~Stupid hands.I try my best to hide my trembling fingers, wringing them and clutching the fabric of this fancy new dress the maids brought in after King Ragnar left. I don’t want to feel like this, but I can’t help it. I am about to meet the royal Lycans for the first time, and apparently, as the King put it, officially start my queen duties.Queen duties. Me. It all feels real now. It’s no longer about staying queen to survive, but to be the actual queen with duties. What the heck do I know about ruling anything bigger than a sandwich?“Your Highness,” one of the maids says as she gently spins me around to the mirror.My jaw drops. A whole stranger is staring back at me. Shiny hair, dress hugging in all the right places, face looking like I actually slept instead of crying half the night. I look… queen-ish? If that’s a word.When they had come in earlier, saying, “His Grace wants you ready for breakfast.” I had almost laughed. Why would I need a full makeover just to eat? Peop

Chapter 16

-SURI~My heart pounds like it’s trying to escape my chest as I stare at my reflection in the huge bedroom mirror. I look regal in this red dress, hair pinned up, makeup perfect, but inside I feel like a total fraud. After today, the real “marriage business” kicks off. Heir-making time. The whole terrifying package that brought me here in the first place.I pace the room, fanning myself so I don’t sweat through the fabric before the ceremony even starts. King Ragnar hasn’t shown his face since yesterday. Didn’t even come to bed. Probably slept in his office chair, practising his world-champion frown.This is just a contract, Suri. No big deal. No feelings. Easy.A knock saves me from more pacing. Runa peeks in. “Your Highness. It is time.”Of course it is.I follow her through long hallways, my stomach tightening with every step. By the time we reach the massive mahogany doors, I feel like I might throw up, pass out, or run. Possibly all three.The doors are pushed open, and a grand b

Chapter 17

~SURI & RAGNAR~~SURI~As we make our way to the refreshment table, Uncle Crane suddenly intercepts us. He leans in and whispers something into the King’s ear, too low for me to catch. Of course, I do not have enhanced hearing like them. The King nods immediately, untangles our fingers, and follows him without a word. Just like that. Poof. Gone.It doesn’t hurt. I swear it doesn’t.I watch him stride toward the grand doors where Dray’s already waiting. As they leave, Uncle Crane glances back and gives me this creepy little look that sends chills racing down my spine. I shake it off quickly. Probably just my imagination. I shove down the lump crawling up my throat about the King ditching me again and repeat my new mantra.It’s an open marriage. Don’t get your expectations high, Suri.But seriously, why an open marriage? Lycans are supposed to be crazy possessive. I have heard the stories. He nearly bit Kai’s head off for holding my hand two seconds too long. So why agree to an open mar

Chapter 18

~SURI~As the light snaps on and floods the room, I blink, squinting against the flood. I’m sitting there on the bed, stark naked, feeling like a fool who just lost a dare. The King freezes in the doorway. His eyes go wide for half a second, then dark and hungry, like he’s staring at his favourite meal and forgot he was supposed to be on a diet. He looks dazed, mouth slightly open. I’m suddenly very aware that I’m sitting here without a stitch of clothing."What are you doing?" His voice is so husky it sounds like he’s been gargling gravel."Waiting," I say, trying to sound like a boss even though my insides are doing backflips. I hold his gaze, refusing to be the first one to blink. No way I’m letting him see my knees knocking. "The party’s over, the rings are on, and it’s time to get down to business.""Business," he repeats, sounding like I just spoke a foreign language."Yes. Business." My hands are dying to grab the sheet and hide, but I keep them still. "You wanted an heir. That

~SURI~His scowl gets even deeper. “What do you want?”I bite my lip, trying to find the right words. “Uhm... I know what the contract says. Open marriage, no strings, whatever. But I need a promise from you."His brows knit deeply. "Out with it, little wolf." The impatience in his voice makes the words sound like a growl.“I don’t want you to claim other women,” I blurt out. “At least until I’m pregnant.”Yeah. That’s it. I know once he knocks me up, he probably won’t touch me anymore. But until then, I need him to stay faithful to me.His amber eyes stare blankly at me for a moment too long. Then, he lets out a long exhale. “You’re asking me for fidelity?”“Yes,” I answer way too quickly. “Not for the rest of the year, just until I’m pregnant.”"Why?""Because, I... I...""...the King usually prefers softer colours on his... companions..."Because Ruby told me you like 'soft colours' on your companions, and I don’t want to catch some nasty disease from your parade of mistresses. I d

Chapter 20

~RAGNAR~Bruce, one of our spies in Moonfang, made it back this morning after we received reports of another rogue sighting near our towns. The locals mentioned a newly carved route being used to slip in and out. It's an isolated trail through the thicket that our sensors missed. We checked it out this morning.During the ceremony yesterday, Uncle Crane had said it was just wolves passing through. I didn’t buy it then, and I sure as hell don’t now. Although our men said the route was created only recently, I can't help but wonder how many have penetrated our territories and why. The answer to that is probably sitting in the North Suite right now.Bruce gives a short, stiff bow. "Your Grace, two of our scouts went missing after a rogue hit in Moonfang last night," he says in a small voice."Missing?" Dray’s brows knit together. “What kind of rogue attack are we talking about? Werewolf rogues? How does a pack of rogues snatch two trained Lycans? Because that shouldn't be physically poss
