The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 25: Torches on the Southern Trail
Cassian was on his feet before he'd fully processed the words, snatching Lirian from his basket and pressing him tight against his chest as Elias moved past him toward the cave's entrance, already reaching for the blade he kept within arm's reach even in sleep."A dozen torches," Dorran repeated, breathless from his watch post, "moving in formation, not scattered like hunters or travelers. Whoever they are, they know exactly where they're going.""Rowan's men," Cassian said, fear cold in his chest despite the months of relative peace that had passed since the last attack."Perhaps." Elias's voice carried none of the earlier calm that had steadied Cassian through so many uncertain nights. "Or perhaps something else entirely. Twelve is too many for a simple assassination attempt, and too organized for common bandits."Dorran shook his head grimly. "I counted the torches from the eastern outcrop. They move like soldiers, Elias. Whoever leads them understands formation and discipline. Tha
The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 24: The First Snow
Winter arrived at the ridge caves earlier than Elias had predicted, the first snow falling in soft, silent drifts through the ancient canopy while Cassian sat near the fire's mouth watching Lirian, now nearly three months old, reach curious fingers toward the flickering light with the fascinated intensity that had, by now, become entirely familiar rather than unsettling."He grows faster than any child I've tended before," Elias observed, settling beside them with an armful of gathered firewood. "Strong for his age already, and clever in ways that seem beyond what three months should allow.""You say that as though it worries you.""Not worry, precisely." Elias arranged the wood carefully near the hearth, buying himself a moment before continuing. "Only careful attention. Whatever the standing stone recognized in him, I suspect it's already beginning to shape how he grows, in small ways neither of us may notice until they've become impossible to overlook."Cassian said nothing to that
The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 23: Cracks in the Foundation
Prince Rowan received the news of his riders' failure to return with an outward calm that cost him more effort than he cared to admit even to himself. He stood alone in his private study three days after their departure, staring at the empty chair where his lead man should have sat delivering confirmation of the exile's death, and felt, for the first time since orchestrating Cassian's downfall, the cold, unfamiliar edge of doubt."They should have returned by now," he said quietly to the room's only other occupant, a wiry, unassuming man named Grask who had served as Rowan's most trusted intelligence gatherer for the better part of a decade."Three days is not unusual for a forest crossing, my prince," Grask offered, though his tone lacked conviction. "The terrain east of the hills is treacherous even without accounting for the forest's stranger reputation.""Three men, skilled and armed, sent with clear instruction and a simple task." Rowan's fingers drummed against the study's heavy
The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 22: The King's Doubt
The council chamber at Shadowfang Castle had grown, in the months since Cassian's exile, into a place King Kael Draven found himself dreading rather than commanding. He sat now at the long table long after the evening session had ended, alone but for a single guttering candle and the stack of documents he had returned to, night after night, searching for some flaw in evidence he had once accepted without question.The serving girl's testimony had been the first crack. A minor thing, barely worth the steward's attention when it first reached him, a claim that Captain Hollis had met privately with Rowan the week before the trial, an encounter with no obvious connection to border patrols or garrison business. Kael had nearly dismissed it entirely. And yet something in the girl's careful, frightened honesty had lodged itself in his chest like a splinter he could not work free.He had summoned Hollis quietly since then, twice, under the pretense of routine garrison review, and both times t
The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 21: Ordinary Days
Weeks folded into the rhythm of survival at the ridge caves, and Cassian found himself surprised by how quickly the extraordinary could settle into something resembling routine. The mornings began with Lirian's hungry cries, ordinary as any infant's, and Cassian's days filled with the small, exhausting tasks of caring for a newborn in a shelter carved from stone rather than any castle nursery he might once have imagined for his child.Elias had proven, in the weeks since the northern ridge, to be a steadying presence beyond even his skill as a healer. He rose before dawn most mornings to check the traps he'd set along the ridge's lower slopes, returning with rabbit or grouse to supplement the small store of grain Dorran had carried from the castle, and in the evenings, he took to teaching Cassian the small, practical skills of forest survival that a noble upbringing had never required of him, how to build a proper fire, how to identify which roots and berries offered nourishment rathe
The Alpha King's Pregnant Omega Chapter 20: The Old Grief Wakes
The light gathered slowly, pooling like mist around the base of the standing stone, and Cassian stood frozen at its edge, watching his son's small hand remain outstretched toward the ancient carvings as though pulled by some invisible thread neither of them could see."Elias," he whispered again, fear finally breaking through the wonder. "Should we retreat? If this is dangerous""Wait." Elias's voice was hushed, his own eyes fixed on the gathering light with something between caution and reverence. "I don't think it means to harm him. Watch."The mist thickened at the stone's base, and slowly, impossibly, it began to take shape, not solid, not quite visible in any way Cassian could later describe with confidence, but present, unmistakably present, in the way the air itself seemed to bend and gather around a shape too large to be human and yet carrying, somehow, the unmistakable impression of grief given form.A voice moved through the clearing, not spoken aloud so much as felt, resona
