Nyroth


    It feels like a dream. I still can’t believe it’s happening. A day like this, where I will be dressing like a groom, and my bride, none other than the love of my life, Zephyrine Ashmere.


    I have bargained just like he wanted. Varyn. I have given him Gaxib, and as fate would have it, Gaxib knows almost all of Apex’s weaknesses, and they will be used tonight. The request from Varyn said only one thing.


    “Apex will definitelye to interrupt the wedding ceremony. Do not worry. I will fend him off so you can be my sister’s husband.”


    I will abide by that because I have always wanted Apex taken away from Zeph.


    Now is the night, and nothing more could make my mother, or anyone else, happier.


    “Alpha Nyroth.” The call came from behind, and I turned to see Kai, a wide grin on his face. I hugged him tightly. When I pulled back, he was beaming from ear to ear.


    “Atst. You’ll be bagging the


    Oman you’ve wanted. I wonder how the night will turn out.”


    I punched him lightly and walked toward the elder who had just arrived to greet me.


    Tonight, we will consummate our marriage, and I will make her minepletely, driving out anything that had to do with Apex.


    I was still greeting the arriving guests when the sound of galloping horses reached me. I waspelled to walk slowly toward the window and peer out.


    Power surged through me at the sight of the Ash Pack cresting into view. Varyn led five powerful men who looked far too agile to be mere guards. Then the carriages arrived, and I swallowed hard.


    The carriages stopped, the maids disembarked, and then she appeared. Zeph. The Alpha of Ash Pack. All elegance, all beauty, still breathtaking.


    My heart warmed at the sight of her, and I couldn’t look away. It had paid off. My contribution to giving away Apex’s weaknesses. I smiled with perfect happiness, only to hear a voice behind <ol><li>me. </li></ol>


    “Congrattions, son.”

    I turned to see my mother, now smiling, though a crease of worryy between her brows.


    “What’s wrong?” I asked.


    She sighed, looking past the gate toward thene leading to the Lycan Kingdom.


    “What if hees and spills blood? That mad king?”


    “That is why the Ashmeres are here. Do not worry, mother. Do not.” I said, voice gentle. She swallowed, looking back at Zeph and sighing in relief.


    “I still can’t believe we didn’t know she was a treasure until she got brainwashed by the Lycan King.”


    “Relief is she’s going to be mine,” I said, making her grin.


    I grinned back, then looked down at Zeph, only to see her pause mid–step. Her eyes lifted to meet mine in the window. That piercing gaze told me more than I wanted to know, making my chest tightened.


    Thest ounce of anything like love had been stripped bare and vanished the moment she fell for the Lycan King.


    Her presence here tonight didn’t indicate willingness to be my wife, but I swallowed hard and pushed the thought away.


    She is mine, and I will have her, whether she likes it or not. I looked away and walked to greet some guests, trying to stay sane and positive.


    Just then, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned to see Varyn Ashmere at the doorway, standing there with an innocent look in his eyes, though I knew better.


    I excused myself to give him attention, and he folded his hands as he smile. A smile I was beginning to distrust.


    “Your bride is here,” he said, smiling. For a moment, I tried not to give in, but the word bride hit me before anything else. I smiled back, and he extended his hand.


    “Congrattions.”


    I took it, feeling the callousness beneath his grip. A true warrior’s mark.


    “Thank you.”


    “My sister has been ushered into the chamber to get dressed. After that, we will proceed to the

    “Yes.”

    “Good.” He smiled further, then paused as his eyes moved past me. “Wow. Who’s she? So beautiful.”


    I turned to see my sister, Olivia, walking forward. She froze at the sight of Varyn, quickly lowering her gaze to bow but Varyn bypassed me to extend his hand to her. I almost raised an eyebrow.


    “It’s fine. We’ll be family anyway. I’m Varyn,” he said. Olivia straightened, smiling, her gaze smoldering as she met the eyes of our next Warlord.


    “I… I am Olivia,” she whispered.


    “Wow. You look even more beautiful than I imagined.”


    I nearly raised an eyebrow. Why did that sound like flirting? Varyn Ashmere has a woman.


    I watched my younger sister blush under his gaze. To make it worse, he kissed the back of her hand and leaned in to whisper words I couldn’t hear.


    When he pulled back, he didn’t nce at her again. He walked past me, saying,


    “Let’s hurry before Apex arrives.”


    I nodded, but suddenly paused. Wait a second. I whirled around to see my younger sister staring at Varyn’s retreat.


    “What did he tell you?”


    “Nothing, really,” she replied with a giggle, heading toward Zeph’s chamber, making me wary. It’s supposed to be a wedding, but somehow it felt like something else. <fn8790> Content originallyes from FindN0vel</fn8790>


    Varyn Ashmere is calcting, and I spent thepensation death money of his parents. I am the first love of his sister, the one who broke her heart. Wait a second. Is this revenge? A scheme to get back at me?


    No. No way. I quickly shook my head. Apex is the real viin. He is the one Varyn will take down tonight while I marry Zeph. Yes.
