Elara’s POV

I was shoving back through the crowd with my shoulders squared and my jaw set so tight I thought my teeth might crack.

I didn't care anymore.

I didn't fucking care.

What was one more wound when I was already bleeding out?

I told myself I did not care about Callum. Maybe I truly did not. But Lyria? Wasn't she supposed to be my little sister? My own family? The family for whom I had willingly sacrificed everything—even my life—without a second thought.

And this was what had been happe

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Break in

    Elara's POVI dropped down on the floor, my back pressed against the door, my body wracked with sobs I couldn't control. The tears wouldn't stop coming and I hated every time I thought I'd cried myself dry, another wave would hit me, and I'd be gasping for air all over again.I could identify my pattern, I was almost understanding my trigger… it wasn't just Lyria. I mean it was, but more than her, it was a culmination of all the betrayals… Of all people. Of all the women in the world, he had to have his eyes on her? Not that having his eyes on any other woman would make it any less difficult…but this one person who had stolen everything from me—my father's love, my betrothed, my dignity. And now she was trying to steal my husband too. Not that I gave much fuck about this husband… that's what I kept saying myself. We had sex… it was just because we were mates… the attraction was too much… That was it. There was nothing emotional…nothing… no affection. I pressed my hands against my

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Alone

    Elara’s POVI was absolutely mad at him.Furious. Seething. Ready to claw his eyes out with my bare hands.The way he'd questioned me about the ‘wolf in the woods’—the way he'd looked at me like I was some kind of traitor, some kind of unfaithful wife who couldn't be trusted… He had no right. No right at all.He was literally fucking a whore on our wedding night. That made me wonder… were we really married? Our vows were ‘exchanged' as such. We just signed papers. I didn't even read through the entire thing. It was all bullshit about being a ‘perfect, little, good wife'! I hadn't given it much before… but now… But now, as I stormed through the corridors, my anger slowly began to cool. And in its place, something else emerged.Doubt.Maybe I should tell Dustan. Maybe I should swallow my pride and just... tell him the truth.About Kael. About the connection I felt. About the impossible, inexplicable fact that I seemed to have another mate apart from my husband. It didn't make sense

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Worst

    Dustan’s POVI stared at Lyria. Thank the Moon, my mind was still struggling to process what I'd just heard… otherwise I would have just shredded the trespasser on the spot. Did she really just—did she actually eavesdrop on us—"The hell are you doing snooping around in my garden?" I growled, my voice low and irritated. "Did I not forbid you? Do you have a death wish?"But unlike before, Lyria seemed completely unfazed by my roar. She took a couple of shy steps forward, swaying her hips as she played with the strand of her hair that she was tucking behind her ear. Her smile was infuriatingly smug."Alpha," she purred, her voice dripping with false innocence. "I couldn't not hear this conversation. It was quite... revealing."She reached out and touched my arm, her fingers squeezing my bicep. I flinched at the contact, my skin crawling at the audacity. "Get your hands off me," I snapped.She ignored me completely, leaning forward until her lips were almost brushing my ear. Her brea

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Not that simple

    Dustan's POVThe All Alpha meet had been a disaster.Three hours of arguing, posturing, and thinly veiled insults. Alphas from every territory had gathered in the great hall, their egos filling the space more than their efforts.They'd talked in circles, each one more concerned with protecting their own borders than with the larger threat."Your security is lax, Cassian. That's why they got through.""Our patrols are stretched thin. Maybe if the western packs contributed more—""We've already given more than our share. It's not our fault your wolves can't handle a few rogues."On and on it went. Accusations. Deflections. Blame shifting.And through it all, I sat in my wheelchair, gritting my teeth, trying not to lose my temper. They looked at me with pity or contempt—I couldn't decide which was worse. The crippled Alpha. The broken wolf. The man who couldn't even protect his own mate.I'd tried to contribute. Tried to share what I'd learned from the files Cassian had given me. But my

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Motive

    Dustan's POVI didn't sleep that night.Elara had been placed in our chambers under heavy guard, Cassian's men were posted at every entrance. I'd wanted to stay with her, to watch over her, to make sure she didn't disappear again. But something had stopped me. The memory of that kiss? The way she'd melted into another man's arms? I don't know. I just didn't want to face her alone. So I'd retreated to my study, nursing a glass of whiskey I hadn't touched, staring at the walls until dawn broke.The morning light crept through the windows. I rubbed my eyes, my body aching from the shift the night before. The Rage wolf was still there, coiled just beneath the surface, waiting for an excuse to break free.I heard the sounds before I saw them. The clatter of armor. The bark of orders. The hurried footsteps of servants running back and forth. Too much noise at the break of dawn could only mean one thing, preparation. Something was happening.I wheeled myself to the window and looked down

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Mine

    Dustan's POVI had been roaming these cursed rogue lands for what felt like an eternity. My Rage wolf form consumed me completely. A beast of pure fury, driven by a singular purpose…find mate. Find Elara.The forest blurred past me as I ran, my massive paws devouring the ground. Trees became shadows, the night air filled with the scent of pine and earth and blood. I had already torn through two rogue patrols that had been foolish enough to cross my path. They had paid for their insolence with their lives.But none of them had given me what I wanted. None of them had told me where she was.Or perhaps the Rage wolf wasn't patient enough for interrogation. And the dead didn't talk. My heart pounded against my ribs, a relentless drumbeat of desperation. The bond between us was faint—muffled, as if something was deliberately blocking it. I had felt it flicker once, a surge of fear so intense it had nearly brought me to my knees. And then nothing.She was alive. I knew that much. I could

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Shatter

    Elara’s POVI had nothing else to do, so I decided to explore the Central Market instead.And like always, the market was a riot of colour, and noise! Vendors shouted over one another, hawking everything from fresh bread to secondhand boots to bolts of exported silk that shimmered like captured su

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Wifey

    Elara’s POV"Put me down this instant or I swear on my mother's grave—""Your mother is alive," he said flatly. "I checked."I blinked. "You checked?""Due diligence." Another turn,another corridor. More guards who absolutely saw me and absolutely looked away. "Can't have a wife with outstanding fa

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Agreed

    Elara’s POV I stared at the impeccable specimen. To me, he looked nothing more than a demon, freshly out of hell, trying to test out its tyranny on lower mortals. Disgust curled deep inside my stomach!“Royal property, huh?” I repeated under my breath, my lips curling. “Are you actually serious r

  • Taking a Chance with the Crippled Alpha   Strange feeling

    Dustan’s POVI woke up later than usual.Not because I was tired,just unwilling to start the day.Last night lingered in fragments—uninteresting, half annoying. Nothing worth dwelling upon.Or so I told myself.A soft knock followed by the creak of the door interrupted my thoughts.“Good morning, youn
