Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 283: Together
Rya's POVKael's words landed like a second blow, quieter than Aldric's fists had been but somehow worse.I watched him stand there, Aldric's beta, refusing the outcome the Grove itself had already recognized. Around him, Lycan warriors who had watched their king yield began shifting, some uncertain, some already siding with Kael's defiance. I understood, watching his face, that this wasn't ambition. He genuinely believed an Alpha beaten by anything other than raw strength wasn't fit to be followed, and that loyalty meant stepping in where his king had failed.Frost, still bleeding from the fight, straightened beside me anyway. "The terms were binding," he said. "Your king agreed to them before witnesses.""My king is no longer fit to set terms," Kael answered. "I act in his name."I felt the crowd's mood shift, felt how close we were to watching everything we'd just survived collapse into a second war within minutes of the first one ending. Kael had brought enough warriors with him
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 282: The Vision Broken
Rya's POVEver since Frost told the council he meant to challenge Aldric himself, the vision had been creeping back into my sleep, a little sharper each night. At first I told myself it was only the fear talking, the ordinary kind, the kind any mate would feel watching the person they loved walk toward something that could kill him. But fear didn't usually come with this much detail. It didn't usually show me the exact angle Aldric's final blow would land, or the exact moment Frost stopped getting back up. By the third night, I stopped pretending it was nothing.The vision came back the night before the fight, sharper than it had ever been.I was standing in the Sacred Grove again, watching Frost go down under Aldric's weight, watching the moment his strength finally ran out. I woke sweating, gasping, my left hand pressed against m chest while my hand already reaching for him before I was fully conscious, needing to feel that he was still there, still breathing, still warm beside m
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 281: The Gathering Storm
Frost's POVFor six nights now, since Rya started coming back to herself, I'd been having the same dream, the same handful of fears on repeat---losing my place as Alpha, losing her again, in some new way I hadn't prepared for, standing in front of the pack with nothing left to offer them. I never told her about any of it those first mornings. Old habit, maybe, or just not wanting to put weight on her while she was still finding her footing again. But six days of waking up with my heart pounding and saying nothing started to feel like exactly the kind of hiding we'd promised each other we were done with.So that morning, I told her about the dream first.We were lying in bed, early morning light just starting to come through the window, and I almost let the moment pass the way I used to. The old instinct was still there—keep it small, don't burden her. But we had promised each other something different now, so I made myself say it out loud."I dreamed I lost the Alpha position," I tol
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 280: The Harder Choice
Rya's POVThe first thing I noticed was the smell. Smoke, spilled wine, and underneath both, blood that hadn't happened yet but somehow already filled the air.I knew where I was before I opened my eyes. I didn't want to look. But the trial didn't care what I wanted, so I opened them anyway.The court. The well lit torches on the walls, the long table, faces I'd known for years — people I'd trusted, people I'd suspected, people I'd never really looked at closely because I'd been too busy surviving. None of them knew yet what was about to happen.Then I saw myself. Younger, colder, wearing the look I remembered from the inside—that sealed-off fury that I had felt, back then, like the most honest thing I had left. I watched her move through the room and I already knew every step, every outcome. I couldn't stop any of it.The trial made me watch closely. I saw a woman who seemed to have a foresight of what was goin to happen before anyone else and tried to run. She didn't make it.I had
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 279: The Anchor
Frost's POVWhat manner of monolith!I had heard stories of the Shadowmaw, the accounts of it being a primordial and eldritch presence that had a very pivotal influence on the balance of this earth. Yet none of them had adequately prepared me for the reality of standing in its presence—in the sheer ancientness of it. It occupied space in a way humans could not. Even the very air in the space felt limited, as though the entity itself was my sustenance. It regarded the both of us with something that was not quite an interest or indifference. "And you are not alone..." It spoke out of the shadows, referring to me. I was still searching for it—desperately, scanning the sky just to catch the tiniest glimpse of what it looked like. "But your reason for your sudden arrival concerns only you... not another""No!" I retorted, my voice sharper and fiercer than how it should have been. For a moment, I felt as though I must have angered it. But I had grown to expect the unexpected. "Whatever it
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 278: At the mouth of the abyss
Frost's POVNever had I depended and hoped on the severity of the mate bond the way I did at that moment. I was desperate, eager to find her. Whatever thing she thought she was doing, i had the strongest feel within me that it wouldn't end good. And it was high time I stopped relenting, and pushed for what I really wanted. I stood at the window of my study long after Lia had gone quiet behind me, and I closed my eyes and reached for the mate bond. I was deliberate, intentional, calm, all to reach her. In a moment, I felt her. I found her. She was there, distant, but feeling her made me feel lightened. Without hesitation, I moved out from the SilverFang with Lia, Oscar, and Sera. I simply followed the thread of her through the bond the way I had always followed my instincts. She was at the Ashen wastes, the very place she had gone a few weeks back to confront the Shadowmaw. Did she intend to do it for the second time? Oh Rya!The land here had a particular quality of exhaustion, as
Crowned In Vengeance Chapter 123: Reconciliation
Rya's POV Our fingers were intertwined as we walked out of the dungeon, swinging happily as we were somewhat new to this feeling. He never said a word, and neither did I. But the short glances we gave ourselves at intervals spoke louder than what words could quantify.I noticed the way he threw hi

Rya’s POVI stirred awake late in the night. I stared round and it was dark around me. Pain had dragged me back before consciousness did.It started as a dull ache in my chest, then it spread outward, almost burning me.Where was I? It didn't look like my room at all.Then, flashes of what happene

Rya's POV For very good reasons, I had my ways of knowing things before they happened. It wasn't based on luck, or what others might tag as a supernatural gift. I was careful... always studying moves, taking notice of the slightest things which were off balance. I had kept good tabs on everyone w

Rya’s POVI sneaked out into the night, Lia and Oscar clearing the grounds for me. I moved into the woods, my hands holding my side in place. “Are you sure you can walk?!” Lia asked, trying to help me. “Yes, yes.” I said, standing a bit upright. “You both should go back now and don't forget to k
