Lyra slowly pushed the bedroom door open.

The sight that greeted her made her gasp.

The room was dimly lit by a single oil lamp burning on the bedside table, its flickering light casting long shadows across the walls. On the floor, only a few feet from the bed, Dominic lay curled in on himself, his entire body trembling violently.

His hands gripped his head as though trying to stop it from splitting apart. Thick veins stood out along his neck, and every muscle in his body strained against an in

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 46 - THE MOON HARVEST FESTIVAL

    Lyra stirred beneath the blankets before slowly opening her eyes. For a few quiet moments, she simply lay there, watching the cream-colored curtains sway gently with the wind. Something about the morning felt different. The oppressive heat that had lingered throughout the summer had finally disappeared, replaced by crisp, refreshing air that seemed to breathe new life into everything it touched.A cool breeze drifted through the open bedroom window, carrying with it the earthy scent of pine, damp soil, and leaves that had only recently begun surrendering to autumn.She pushed herself upright and padded barefoot across the room before stopping beside the tall window.The palace gardens stretched out beneath her, glowing beneath the soft light of the early morning sun. The flower beds remained vibrant, but the trees had begun their slow transformation. Here and there, patches of emerald leaves had turned brilliant shades of gold, amber, and crimson, painting the gardens with the first c

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 45 – A LUNA VERSUS THE LUNA

    The royal car rolled smoothly through the towering palace gates before joining the bustling streets of the capital.Vivienne leaned closer to the window, her eyes darting from one side of the road to the other as she admired the city. Every street seemed livelier than the last. Elegant boutiques lined the wide stone roads, their windows displaying expensive fabrics, sparkling jewelry and handcrafted ornaments. Cafés overflowed onto the sidewalks, while merchants called out to passing customers from colorful market stalls."I've never seen anything like this," Vivienne breathed.Across from her, Valeria smiled faintly."The capital has always been the busiest city in the kingdom. Merchants travel from every territory to sell their goods here."Vivienne nodded distractedly, still watching the crowds outside."You really are lucky to live here."Valeria's smile barely changed."One gets used to it."The car rounded another corner before slowing near the city's shopping district.Luna Lyd

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 44 -  STRANGERS AND FAMILY

    By the time Lyra stepped out of the bath, the palace maids had already prepared a simple outfit for her. A pale blue sundress that fell just above her knees. It was light and comfortable, a welcome change from the heavy gown she had worn to the royal ball. She brushed her long hair until it flowed freely over her shoulders before slipping into a pair of soft sandals that didn't aggravate the tenderness around her ankle.Taking a steadying breath, she left her room and made her way through the palace corridors.As she approached the dining hall, the aroma of freshly baked bread, roasted bacon and brewed coffee drifted into the corridor. Lyra smiled faintly to herself before reaching for the large double doors.The smile disappeared the instant she stepped inside. She had expected to find Cassandra, Lydia and Vivienne.Instead, two additional faces sat at the table - Dominic and her father. Lyra stopped walking. Her gaze settled on the man seated across the long table. For a moment, the

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 43 - UNWELCOME GUESTS

    The persistent knock on the bedroom door pulled Lyra from a deep, dreamless sleep.She stirred beneath the soft blankets, blinking lazily as warm morning sunlight spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Golden rays stretched across the polished floor, making the room glow with the quiet peace of late morning.For several seconds, she simply lay there, trying to remember where she was.Then the memories of the previous night came rushing back. The royal ball, the dance, Dominic’s hands gently massaging her aching feet. Her cheeks warmed instantly.Another knock echoed through the room."My Luna?" a timid voice called from outside.Lyra rubbed the sleep from her eyes."Come in."The door opened slowly, and one of the palace maids stepped inside before offering a respectful bow."My Luna, forgive me for waking you but you have guests."Lyra frowned."Guests?"Before she could ask who they were, two familiar figures walked past the maid without waiting to be invited.Vivienne was th

  • ALPHA KING DOMINIC'S DARKEST CLAIM   CHAPTER 42 - THE GENTLE SIDE OF A KING (Part 2)

    Dominic didn't stop until they reached Lyra's bedroom door.Lyra spent the entire walk trying not to look at the servants they passed, her face burning with embarrassment every time she caught one of them smiling knowingly.Dominic never seemed bothered by the attention. His stride remained steady and unhurried, as though carrying her through the palace was the most natural thing in the world.When they reached her room, he nudged the door open with one hand before carefully lowering her onto her feet. The instant her left foot touched the floor, she instinctively leaned onto the other.Dominic frowned."Sit."Lyra looked up at him." I'm fine."He gave her a look that made it obvious he believed none of it. Without another word, he walked toward the adjoining bathroom. Lyra watched him disappear through the doorway, puzzled.A moment later, he returned carrying a polished wooden first-aid box. He set the box on the bedside table before kneeling in front of her.The sight alone made

    The music continued to drift gracefully through the ballroom as Dominic guided Lyra across the polished dance floor.Somewhere along the way, she had forgotten about the hundreds of eyes that had terrified her at the beginning of the evening. She no longer worried about whether she was making a mistake or whether the nobles were whispering about her behind their backs. All she could hear was the orchestra, and all she could focus on was the man leading her through every step with quiet confidence.Whenever she hesitated, Dominic adjusted his pace without making it obvious. Whenever she missed a step, he effortlessly matched it, making it seem as though it had been part of the dance all along.Before long, she found herself laughing.It wasn't the polite smile she had forced herself to wear throughout the evening.It was genuine."I thought you said you had two left feet," she teased after nearly spinning into him.Dominic's lips curved into a smile."I might have exaggerated a little.

    Dominic had always hated the pageantry that came with his title, but the Ashbourne pack’s attempt to impress him was especially suffocating. Even the guards at the entrance stood a little too stiffly, their eyes skittering past his face as they bowed and ushered him inside. He imagined they half-e

    Alpha King Dominic woke with a smile on his face.For the first few seconds, he simply lay there, staring up at the canopy above him. Sunlight filtered through the branches, mixing with the fading silver glow of the full moon. The cool morning air carried the scent of pine and damp earth, and for a

How was she supposed to explain the mark

    Without thinking, Lyra took a step back. She stumbled as her boot heel caught the edge of the rock, and her balance failed her. A startled cry escaped her as she fell into the pool. Cold water closed over her head.Laughter erupted from the three rogues on the shore.Lyra surfaced, gasping, water s
