Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride Chapter 203
Celeste The enemy kept climbing.One rank.Then another.Steel glimmered beneath the moonlight as shields rose over the lip of the ridge. Their commander was careful. He refused to rush, forcing his soldiers to secure every step before committing the next line.Smart.Very smart.I counted silently.Thirty.Forty.Fifty.Still not enough.Behind me, someone's breathing quickened."Captain..." Tomas whispered.I raised one finger.Wait.He fell silent.The enemy spread wider across the crest, expecting arrows that never came. They advanced cautiously, weapons drawn, eyes sweeping every shadow.One soldier kicked over an abandoned shield.Another prodded the ground with his spear."They really think we fled," Mara murmured."No," I whispered."They think we're hiding.""There isn't much difference.""There is."I watched their formation loosen."When people believe danger is close, they stay together.""And when they believe it's farther away?""They stop protecting each other."Almost

Celeste The silence that followed wasn't peace. It was calculation. Below us, torches shifted like restless stars across the hillside as enemy officers barked clipped orders. Lines dissolved, then reformed with unnerving precision. Wounded were dragged back. Fresh soldiers stepped forward without hesitation. "They're replacing the front rank," Tomas observed. "I see it." "They've got reserves." "They always did." The difference was that now they were using them properly. A horn echoed through the valley. Low. Long. Different from the earlier commands. Mara frowned. "New signal." "New commander," I guessed. The thought settled heavily in my chest. Whoever had been directing them before had learned from every exchange. If someone even more capable had taken over... Our window was closing. A runner approached from behind. "Captain." I turned. "The western watch reports movement through the trees." "How many?" "They couldn't tell. No torches." My stomach tightened.

CelesteConfusion bought seconds.Nothing more.“Left,” I said.We shifted as one, cutting across the line before they could close around us. A man lunged from the dark—too slow. Mara dropped him without breaking stride.“Don’t stop,” she muttered.“I wasn’t planning to.”Shouts rose behind us now. Not panicked—controlled, but sharp. Orders passed fast. Faster than before.“They’re recovering,” Tomas said.“Good,” I replied. “Keep them doing it.”Another platform came into view ahead, partially manned. One operator turned, eyes widening just a fraction too late.“Take it,” I said.Lysa’s arrow hit first—close, efficient. The second man didn’t get the shot off. Tomas drove forward, knocking the frame sideways. Wood cracked under its own weight, tilting, then collapsing into the slope.“Move.”No hesitation.We passed through the gap before it settled.Behind us, their line tightened. Not chasing wildly. Adjusting. Containing.“They’re trying to box us,” Mara said.“Yes.”“Do we let the

CelesteNight fell hard, wiping the valley from sight.“Now?” Mara asked.I nodded.Torches lit behind the ridge, low and uneven. They threw shadows forward, making us look scattered.“They’ll think we’re loose,” Tomas said.“Let them.”The west moved first. Slow, careful steps. No signals.“Hold,” I said.They hit fast, expecting a weak line.“Lock.”Our shields closed. No panic. No gaps.They pushed. We didn’t meet it head-on. We shifted, turning their force sideways. Their line lost shape and pulled back.A whistle cut through the dark.South.“They’re climbing,” Lysa said.Slower this time. Controlled.I stepped forward just enough to be seen.The first man reached the top and paused. Then moved.Two more followed, spreading out.“Now?” Mara asked.I waited, then gave it.We stepped back a single pace, opening space.They took it.“Close.”The gap vanished. We pressed inward, trapping them tight. No room to move.“Pressure.”We leaned, steady and coordinated. The ground shifted un

CelesteEvening didn’t fall so much as settle—slow, deliberate, like a hand pressing down over the ridge.The light thinned into a pale blue wash, flattening depth and shadow until distance became guesswork again. Not fog. Not quite darkness. Something in between.Uncertain ground.Perfect for mistakes.“Torches?” Tomas asked.I shook my head. “Not yet.”Light gave clarity, but it also gave position. Right now, ambiguity was still ours.Below, the enemy platforms had multiplied. What began as scattered frames had become a staggered line, each one slightly offset from the next. Not enough to overlap. Just enough to cover.Efficient.“They’ll keep firing through dusk,” Mara said. “Test how we react in low light.”“Yes.”“And if we don’t?”“They’ll escalate.”She exhaled slowly. “Of course they will.”A soft crunch of boots behind us signaled Lysa’s approach. “Western scouts report movement,” she said. “Not forward. Lateral.”“Flanking?” Tomas asked.“Not exactly,” I replied before Lysa

Celeste “Duties?” I asked, staring at the flies on the table.“Yes, my love. You are queen. You have social duties. The people expect it. You've been here for two weeks. It's time you show you are queen to your people.”I winced at the way he said those words.Like being queen was the most prestig

Celeste “Lyra.” I stood as soon as she entered my chambers.“Your majesty.” She bowed.“Come on in,” I waved her in.“Thank you, Sylvester. You may go.” The whitehead wolf nodded, and left without a word.“Is everything okay?” Lyra asked, clearly agitated.“Yes, everything's fine. Don't worry, Edg

CelesteI didn’t move. Not even an inch. I let Edgar hold me close to his chest.The steady rhythm of his heartbeat brought me a strange comfort that I tried to bury, but refused to be buried.“I think I should be paid for this particular service,” I said into the silence.Edgar's chest rumbled as

Celeste “Good morning, beautiful.’ Edgar murmured against my ears. I jolted awake. He'd slept in my room again last night, and had refused to touch me. He was infuriating. My seduction was useless. There was no surprise there. “You're so jumpy, do you know that?” He asked with amusement evi
