The Alpha's claim

Chapter 31The moment he left, the room felt smallerI stood near the tall window of the chamber he had forced me into, my arms crossed tightly across my chest. The stone walls of the Alpha’s residence felt colder than the streets below. Everything here was too quiet and orderly.Nothing like the world I came from.And yet, the man who ruled this place had decided I belonged inside it.My fingers curled into fists.The memory of our conversation still burned in my mind.The calm way he looked at me.The way he didn’t deny killing my mother.But also the way his voice had changed when he spoke of the past.I hated that it unsettled me.I hated that I kept thinking about it.A knock sounded on the door.Before I could answer, it opened.One of the servants stepped in quietly, placing a tray of food on the table near the window.I didn’t touch it.“I’m not staying,” I said.The servant only bowed her head.“The Alpha asked that you eat.”Of course he did.Everything about this place was

Alpha decision

Chapter 32 Morning came slowly inside the Alpha’s house. The sunlight that slipped through the tall windows did not feel warm. It only made the stone walls look colder and sharper. I stood near the edger of the window, staring down at the lower streets of Blackrige. From here the pack looked different. The people moving below had no idea that the Alpha had brought a woman like me into his home. A woman who hated him. A woman whose mother had died by his hand. A prostitute. The word ranged deep in my ears I still did not understand why I was here. Last night felt like a strange dream. The Alpha had taken me from the streets and placed me inside the largest house in Blackridge as if I were something valuable. But I knew better. Men like him did nothing without reason. A quiet knock sounded at the door. I did not answer. The door opened anyway. A young servant stepped inside carrying folded clothes. Her eyes flickered toward me for only a second before she lowered her h

A wolf trap .

Chapter 33The training ground stayed in my mind long after I left it.The weight of the dagger.The quiet strength in the Alpha’s voice as he corrected my grip.And the eyes that watched everything.Especially Lyra’s.I felt them even after I returned to the house.The Alpha had walked away shortly after the training ended, leaving the warriors whispering behind his back. I didn’t stay to listen. I already knew what they would say.A woman like me did not belong beside the Alpha of Blackridge.The halls of the Alpha’s house were quieter now. Servants moved through the corridors like shadows, careful not to disturb anything.I reached the door to my room and pushed it open.The cloak was still on the chair.For a moment I stared at it.Then I walked past it and sat by the window instead.The sky above the forest had turned gray, clouds slowly gathering over the mountains. A storm would come before nightfall.Blackridge always looked darker when storms rolled in.Footsteps echoed in th

Storm in the forest.

Chapter 34The storm did not stop that night.Wind rattled the tall windows of the Alpha’s house, and thunder rolled over the mountains like distant drums. Even inside the thick stone walls, the sound carried through the halls.I could not sleep.The events of the evening replayed endlessly in my mind.The whispers in the hall.The laughter.And the moment the Alpha had stood up.I had expected anger.Violence.Instead, he had spoken calmly, and somehow that had been far more powerful.I turned in the bed again, staring at the dark ceiling above me.The room felt too quiet.Too still.The storm outside pulled at something inside my chest.Eventually I stood up.If I stayed here any longer, my thoughts would drive me mad.I wrapped the cloak around my shoulders again before leaving the room. The fabric was heavy and warm, shielding me from the cold air that filled the halls.The Alpha’s house was mostly silent at this hour.Servants had gone to their quarters.Most warriors slept.Only

Divided pack

Chapter 35 The storm faded before dawn. When the rain finally stopped, the forest smelled fresh and cold. Mist rolled through the tall trees as morning slowly crept over Blackridge. But the quiet did nothing to calm my mind. His words from the night before refused to leave me. *Because she asked me to.* I had spent years hating the Alpha for my mother’s death. Every memory I carried was shaped by that moment her body on the ground, his figure standing over her. And now he had said something that twisted the truth I thought I knew. I walked beside him in silence as we returned toward the pack grounds. Neither of us spoke. The pack houses slowly came into view through the mist, their roofs still damp from the storm. Warriors were already awake. Some patrolled the edges of the territory while others moved through the courtyard preparing for the day. When we stepped out of the forest together, the first wolf who saw us stopped immediately. Then another. And another. Within

The balcony at night

Chapter 36 Sleep would not come. The palace had long fallen into silence. Torches burned low along the outer walls, their flames shrinking into thin threads of orange light. Even the night guards moved quietly through the courtyards below, their footsteps fading into the distance. Yet my mind refused to rest. I had tried everything. Reading. Walking the length of my chamber. Even closing my eyes and forcing stillness. Nothing worked. Thoughts drifted endlessly, circling the same places like restless birds. Finally I rose from the bed and crossed the room. Moonlight slipped through the tall windows, spreading across the marble floor in pale silver patterns. The air felt cool and still. Perhaps that was what I needed. Fresh air. I pushed open the balcony doors and stepped outside. The night wrapped around me immediately. The wind carried the scent of damp grass and distant water from the river beyond the palace grounds. Somewhere far away an owl called once, then the sound fad

The room that became so small

Chapter 37For a moment I simply stared at him.Aaron stood in the corridor outside my chamber as if the hour meant nothing. As if visiting the princess’s room in the middle of the night was the most natural thing in the world.Moonlight slipped through the high windows behind him, stretching across the floor between us.He did not move.He did not look embarrassed.He did not even try to pretend this was a mistake.The silence lingered longer than it should have.“You shouldn’t be here,” I said finally.My voice sounded calm. Far calmer than I felt.Aaron’s expression did not change.His gaze moved slowly over my face as if he was studying something interesting.“You were watching me,” he said quietly.The statement was simple.Not accusing.Not surprised.Just certain.I tightened my hand slightly against the door.“You were training in the middle of the courtyard,” I replied. “It was difficult not to notice.”A faint smile appeared.It was not the careless grin he often gave the w

The girl on the balcony

Chapter 38The palace was quiet when I left her chamber.The corridor stretched long and empty ahead of me, lit only by a few fading torches along the walls. Their light flickered against the stone, casting thin shadows across the floor as I walked.My steps were slow.Unhurried.Anyone watching would have thought nothing of it.But my mind was nowhere near as calm as my footsteps suggested.Bridget.The name lingered in my thoughts longer than I liked.I should not have gone to her chamber tonight.That much was obvious.Yet the moment I saw her standing on that balcony, watching the training yard below, the decision had already been made.I knew she was there long before she realized I had noticed her.A person who trains alone at night learns to feel eyes.Even silent ones.At first I had assumed it was one of the palace guards. But when I lifted my head and saw the thin outline of her figure against the balcony rail, something inside me shifted slightly.The princess.Watching.Sh

The line between us

Chapter 39The river had always been mine. It was the one place in the palace grounds where silence felt real. No expectations. No watching eyes. No need to be careful with every word, every step. Just water, wind, and breath. Today, it felt like something else entirely. Because he was here. I did not turn when I heard him approach. I did not need to. The sound of his steps was steady, unhurried, like he had already decided this moment belonged to him. It annoyed me that he walked like that. As if nothing could challenge him. As if no space was ever off limits. Gravel shifted lightly behind me. Closer. “You leave quickly,” Aaron said. His voice was lower than usual. Not loud. Not playful. Just close. I kept my gaze on the water. “You follow too easily.” A breath of quiet amusement reached me. “And yet you didn’t stop me.” That was enough. I turned. The distance between us was wrong. Too small. At some point, while I had been refusing to look at him, he had stepped

Morning came early

Chapter 40Iris Morning came too quickly, I didn't sleep. How could IThe night stayed with me in fragments I couldn’t shake the hidden garden, the water, the silence between us that felt heavier than words.Roshan’s voice still lingered in my head.You provoke.I sat at the edge of the bed for a long time before I finally stood. The pack house was already awake, distant movement echoing through the halls. Life continued as if nothing had happened.But something had.I washed my face slowly, staring at my reflection longer than I needed to. My expression looked the same, but I didn’t feel the same.I left my room after a while.The corridor felt colder than usual.Or maybe I just noticed it more.I kept my steps steady as I moved toward the main hall. I told myself I would act normal today. Nothing had changed. Nothing should have changed.But my mind kept drifting back.To his eyes.To the way he didn’t step away immediately.To the control it took for him to keep distance.That par
