Game of hearts: The Ruthless Alpha and his warrior bride 204
Celeste The first volley struck before the echo of my command had faded.Arrows poured from the ravine in a black wave.The front ranks had nowhere to run.Men threw up shields. Others stumbled into those behind them. Horses screamed somewhere below as panicked handlers lost control.The enemy line folded in on itself."Second volley!" I shouted.The archers moved with practiced precision.Draw.Aim.Release.Another storm swept across the ridge.This time the arrows found gaps between shields. Soldiers dropped one after another, their careful formation dissolving into chaos.The commander reacted faster than most."Shields! Forward!" he roared.His officers repeated the order.Discipline returned in patches. Small groups locked shields together, creating pockets of resistance.Better than average.Still not enough."Mara."She was already moving.Her squad surged from the rocks on our left, slamming into the exposed flank before the enemy realized anyone had left cover.Steel rang t

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

CelesteThe morning after felt heavier, as though the air itself remembered what had happened. I woke before dawn, my eyes snapping open to the faint sound of rain against the windows. The sheets were tangled around my legs, damp with sweat. For a moment, I didn’t know where I was. The room seemed

Chapter 67 Celeste Selena was feeling much better the next day. Her headaches had stopped completely. She had even managed to smile that morning, a fragile thing, like a flower testing sunlight after a storm. I’d moved her to my living room on my orders — much to the servants’ confusion. I wante

Celeste Morning came gray and distant. The light slipped through the curtains like an apology, soft and uncertain. The palace was hushed, the air thick with something I couldn’t name. Not silence, not peace, but a strange stillness that pressed against the ribs. Edgar hadn’t come to my chambers la

Chapter 70 Celeste The inn was older than it looked from the outside. When we stepped inside, the first thing I noticed was the smell, old wood, damp moss, and the faint trace of smoke that clung to the air like a ghost that refused to leave. The walls were paneled with oak, darkened by time, and
