STEPHANIE

I stood behind the balcony doors, hidden by the curtains and from there, I could see everything.

I saw Kael, my father, the warriors, the merchants and the army gathered.

My eyes stayed on Kael for a long while.

The wind carried every word spoken between them and I listened in silence.

Then, Kael's voice cut through the courtyard.

"You manipulated your own daughter."

My fingers tightened around the curtain, that's a lie!”

"You exploited your only child."

I frowned.

"You only cared

  • The Alpha’s Discarded Bride   Chapter 169

    KAELThe bells of Moonfall rang without stopping and their deep sound rolled across the city again and again.Every citizen knew what it meant, it meant war. By the time I reached Moonfall Headquarters, the entire palace had become a storm of movement.Soldiers hurried through the halls carrying weapons and armor and messengers ran in every direction with fresh reports.Outside, wagons loaded with food rolled toward the inner walls.Families were being escorted into safer parts of the city.Children cried and their parents tried to comfort them, nobody smiled anymore.The war we had spent months trying to prevent had finally reached our gates.Since Stephanie's father wanted war, there is no other way it could be avoided. I walked straight into the council chamber and the room was already full by the time I got there. Darius stood beside the largest map, several commanders argued over troop positions and merchant leaders were shouting over one another."If the western route falls,

    STEPHANIE I stood behind the balcony doors, hidden by the curtains and from there, I could see everything.I saw Kael, my father, the warriors, the merchants and the army gathered. My eyes stayed on Kael for a long while. The wind carried every word spoken between them and I listened in silence.Then, Kael's voice cut through the courtyard."You manipulated your own daughter."My fingers tightened around the curtain, that's a lie!” "You exploited your only child."I frowned."You only cared about power."My jaw clenched. He didn't know anything, he didn't…The thought stopped halfway and my eyes slowly moved toward my father below.He didn't deny it, he simply stood there calmly watching Kael as if those words didn't matter.I looked back at Kael and I could feel real anger in his voice.He wasn't angry because of whatever I did but because of what my father had done to me and the realization unsettled me.For the first time, I didn't dismiss his words as another accusation.A tin

    KAELDarius' words settled in the room and for one brief moment, everything stood still. Christine’s hand was still in mine and the warmth of our reunion still lingered between us."What happened?"My voice became calm, sharp and controlled.Darius answered immediately. "Several merchant warehouses were set on fire before dawn again and this time they hit three different districts at the same time. The warehouses are still burning as we speak,”My jaw tightened and he continued."Armed men with no pack insignia have attacked the northern and western trade routes."They're stopping caravans, taking supplies and killing anyone who resists."Every sentence made my anger grow and Darius wasn't even finished."Several merchant houses have openly declared support for Stephanie's father."Christine frowned and I stood. "They said they had no choice and they claimed Lord Veylor promised to protect their businesses if they abandoned Moonfall and those who refused disappeared.”The room fell

    CHRISTINE Darkness slowly drifted away.At first, I thought I was dreaming.Everything felt soft, quiet and warm and for a few seconds, I simply lay there, listening to the silence.Then my eyes opened and the first thing I saw was a white ceiling.I frowned, this wasn't my room.Panic hit me so suddenly that I sat up and my heart began pounding against my chest.Had Harlan moved me somewhere else? Had I failed?My breathing became uneven as I looked around the room and then I stopped.The walls weren't the dark colors of Silver Claw, they carried Moonfall's deep blue and silver banners.The curtains moved gently in the evening breeze and large windows overlooked the city beyond. I knew that view, I was in Moonfall city. On a nearby chair rested a familiar black cloak, I recognized it as Kael's.Kael's scent suddenly filled my nose and the panic disappeared as quickly as it had come.A shaky breath escaped my lips as I remembered everything.I recall running through the forest, my

    KAELThe sun was already disappearing when I reached the forest.I should have stayed back in Moonfall like I said but I couldn't hold back anymore. Nathan left this morning with a few of my men to rescue Christine. The city couldn't be left without its Alpha soI stayed.I told myself Nathan could handle the rescue and that I was doing the right thing.But every hour that passed made it harder to believe that.The first report came shortly after sunrise. "No sign of Christine yet."I forced myself to remain calm.A few hours later, another warrior of my men arrived, "Still waiting for her."I nodded and sent him back.It went on like that till it was afternoon and by the time the sun began to fall, I couldn't sit behind a desk any longer.I looked at Darius. "You'll take command."He didn't argue, he simply nodded. "I'll hold Moonfall until you return."Within minutes I was riding toward where Nathan and the rest of my men were waiting to receive Christine. My heart wasn't at rest

    HARLAN The smoke slowly began to fade and coughs echoed across the courtyard.Guards shouted over one another. "Protect the Alpha!""Check the walls!""Find the attackers!"The music had stopped and flowers were already scattered over the ground.The beautiful ceremony had become complete chaos.I stood in the middle of it all, trying to make sense of what had just happened.It was an attack, it had to be.Someone had tried to ruin the ceremony intentionally! My heart suddenly skipped. "What about Christine?” My voice disappeared into the noise and I looked around the smoke.She wasn't beside me anymore and I frowned.She was probably frightened. The explosions had happened only a few steps away so she must have moved somewhere safer."Christine!" I called and got no answer.I turned slowly.The place where she had been standing only moments ago was empty."No! "The word left my mouth before I even realized I had spoken.I looked around again, she couldn't have gone far.I pointed
