All Chapters of The Ruthless Alpha's Unwanted Bride : Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

VANE"Alpha, I don't know what you mean," the guard stammered, his fingers twitching against my shoulder plate. "I would never open your private mail. I swear on my life, I am loyal to you!"I grabbed his right wrist, twisting his forearm around and shoving his palm up into the morning light streaming through the window.Bright purple spots covered the tips of his fingers."I laced the outer seal of Aiden's letter with a rare chemical," I said. "If you only handle the envelope, nothing happens. But if you break the seal and touch the paper inside, the oil reacts with your skin."The guard stared at his own hand in terror, the colour draining from his face until he looked like a corpse. He dropped to his knees, slamming his forehead against the floor. "Forgive me, Alpha!" he sobbed, his whole body shaking as he clutched at his chest. "Please! I was forced into it! I had no choice!"I looked down at him, unbothered by his tears. "I am deeply disappointed.” I stepped around him toward t

SYLVIAThe band of artistes played their music, and people danced to the tunes, accompanied by the loud clinking of glass and laughter. The banquet was undeniably grand and lively. Even the common pack members and townspeople had been invited, filling out the lower tables near the entrance. They looked happy, piling their plates high with food and drinking freely, and a small part of me was glad to see them enjoying the night. A group of dancers took the stage and spun gracefully in brightly coloured dresses, their movements perfectly synchronised with the drums."Enjoying the view, Sylvia?" King Stolas asked as his hand moved across the table, covering mine. He squeezed my fingers, his palm uncomfortably warm."This is the life that awaits you once you are officially my daughter-in-law," Stolas said, leaning slightly in my direction. "All of this wealth, this power, the loyalty of these people... it will all be yours. You should learn to bask in it."I forced a tight, polite smile

CYPRIANMy father’s fist slammed straight into my jaw, sending me crashing sideways across the room. I collided with the table, sending glass bottles, maps, and rolled scrolls flying into the air before I hit the floor with a dull thud."Get up!" He yelled.Before I could clear the ringing in my ears, he grabbed me by the front of my shirt, hauling me up and shoving me against the wall. His fist hit me right across the cheek. Blood filled my mouth instantly."Father, please!" I gasped out, putting my hands up to block the next strike. "Stop! Listen to me!""You idiot!" Father screamed, throwing another punch. Pain exploded through my chest, cutting my breath short. "You pushed her over the bridge! In front of half the high council! In front of the entire pack!""It was an accident!" I choked out, spitting blood onto the floor as he finally released my shirt. I slithered down the wall, clutching my side. "She was screaming at me! She insulted you, she insulted me—""I don't care what s

VANE"Release the fire!" I yelled, stepping out into the chaotic light of the burning courtyard.Above us, my archers stepped up, drawing their bowstrings tight and releasing flaming arrows into the night. Seconds later, our iron bombs were hurled over the front wall, crashing with loud explosions.The rogues had brought their entire army. Hundreds of dark figures spilt out of the forest, screaming and charging toward our gates with axes and iron swords."Captain!" I roared, slicing my sword through the neck of an enemy soldier who had cleared the wall. "Form the front line! Drive them into the ditch!""Move! Hold the line!" Captain Kael yelled, drawing his sword and leading a squad of warriors into the main breach.The trap worked exactly as we had planned. The moment the main force of rogues breached, their front ranks dropped into our hidden pit traps, impaling themselves on the wooden spikes below.Chaos broke out among their ranks as panic spread through their lines.I cut a pat

SYLVIAI spent the rest of the evening locked inside my room, pacing back and forth. My mother’s confession echoed over and over in my head. Willow wasn’t my full sister. She was Stolas’s daughter. The sickening truth changed every single thing I thought I knew growing up. I stopped pacing and stared at the door. Willow needed to know. She was acting like a fool for a man who shared her own father's blood, letting Stolas and Cyprian use her like a pawn.I pulled open my door and walked down the corridor straight toward Willow’s quarters.When I reached her room, two of Willow’s maids immediately stepped into the middle of the hallway, crossing their arms to block my path."Lady Sylvia," the lead maid said stiffly, raising her chin. "Lady Willow is busy right now. She requested not to be disturbed.""Get out of my way," I said."My Lady, please, she—"Shouting echoed from behind the closed door, drowning out the maid's words. I recognized Cyprian's angry voice instantly, followed by
