Chapter 24 It ran down Althea’s spine like ice, but it wasn’t cold… it burned. A strange, searing fire that started deep inside her and spread like a wave. Her breath caught in her throat. She clutched at her chest, swaying slightly as her knees nearly buckled beneath her. Her
Chapter 23 The journey continued, but this time, Althea rode with Gavriel on his horse all day. She sat in front of him, tense and uncomfortable, while his strong arms stayed wrapped around her. His hold was firm, almost too firm, and she could feel the warmth of his body
Chapter 22 Althea held her breath as she met Gavriel’s intense gaze. His expression was too dark, dangerously unreadable. The fury in his eyes told her everything. He wasn’t convinced. He didn’t care what she was willing to offer. He was reeling with killing intent. “Kill them p> Without thinking,
Chapter 21 There was only one man who ever called her by that nickname. “Kael?” she whispered. And there he was, Kael Moore. That familiar tousled blond hair, those warm brown eyes, staring back at her like no time had passed at all. He was the son of the Alpha
Chapter 20 Althea felt like her head was going to split open as she slowly opened her eyes. The last thing she remembered was Melva charging toward her in her beast form then another beast had lunged at her from the side. After that, someone grabbed her from behind, pressing
Chapter 19 Gavriel put on his clothes in silence, his expression unreadable. Once he stepped out of the cave, he gave Osman and Melva a brief order. “Wait here for Althea. Escort her back when she’s ready p> [Seriously, just go back to her!] Chaos, his inner wolf, grunted in
Chapter 18 Gavriel’s vulgar words turned Althea’s face crimson. Would she ever get used to his filthy tongue? The way he always spoke so shamelessly, so boldly? Before she could even muster a reply, his lips were already on hers. The kiss stole her breath, like it always did. But
Chapter 17 Beta Osman escorted them into the forest and stopped in front of a cave. “This is it,” he said. “Your handmaiden and I will keep watch from here. Please proceed inside. Just walk straight and you’ll see the hot spring p> “I should go with my lady,” Melva
Chapter 16 Althea’s face flushed as she muttered under her breath, “I… was ordered to strip. I didn’t think, I just drank from the bottle without checking to get some courage. I didn’t even sniff it. And that poison had no taste, so p> Melva gasped. “Ohhh. So you got
Chapter 15 Althea sat in silence inside the carriage with Melva beside her. They had resumed their journey that morning, and since then, the Alpha King hadn’t checked on her once. “My Lady,” Melva spoke gently, sensing the heaviness in her, “please don’t be too sad. What matters is that
Chapter 14 It was that fire in her that captivated Gavriel the most. She had nothing left… no power, no protection yet she didn’t cower. Any other woman in her place would have begged for mercy, but Althea stood her ground. Perhaps it was courage… or maybe the stubborn belief
Chapter 13 Far to the south, in a cavern lit by firelight, Cain’s roar shook the stone walls. His fists slammed into rock, leaving cracks and dust raining down. “The Shadowthorn Pack is gone?” His voice was low, lethal. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ.net The messenger dropped to his knees,
Chapter 12 Althea was utterly confused. She was the daughter of a traitor, taken by the Alpha King as a hostage, claimed as nothing more than his breeder. She had expected cruelty, humiliation and a cold prison. But instead, he had marked her, saved her life, and now he touched
Chapter 11 ‘Your body is still adjusting to the mark. Rest well. I’ll try my best not to disturb you p> Those words from Alpha King to her kept echoing in Althea’s mind as she lay on his bed, even after he left. The mattress was unexpectedly soft, and the
Chapter 10 Althea turned her face to the side, heat burning her cheeks. Her chest rose and fell quickly as she struggled to catch her breath. “It hurts,” she said softly, not meeting his gaze. He pulled back just slightly, enough to lessen the overwhelming pressure. Still between her thighs,
Chapter 9 ‘It must have been the mate bond,’ Althea continued, blaming the mate bond because of the weird sensations crawling all over her body. And then there was the way he was possessive toward her. It should have terrified her. But it didn’t. Against her better judgment, she liked
Chapter 8 The words weren’t a request, they were a command. Althea stood on slightly shaky legs. Her heart thudded wildly against her chest as she stepped closer, closing the distance between them. Her hands hovered for a second before she reached up and began to undo the clasps on
Chapter 7 A few days later p> Althea’s lashes fluttered slowly as her world appeared hazy, spinning, muffled, and distant at first. Her throat was dry and rough like sandpaper, while her chest felt heavy, as if something was pressing down on it. A groan slipped from her lips as
Chapter 6 “Althea,” Gavriel growled, catching her as her body wavered. Her head rested on his shoulder, her warm breath brushing against his skin. “No… no, no, no,” he muttered softly. He held her close, one hand supporting her head, the other wrapped around her waist. “Who would dare do
Chapter 5 “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Althea whispered, even as her heart hammered in her chest. ‘Is he referring to the mate pull? Could Melva be correct? But how could she feel it if she was wolfless p> His gaze dropped to her lips, and for a
