Lyold: The Unforgiven Alpha (The Rouge series 1-2)Updated at Dec 1, 2025, 14:11
I tried to speak, to assert my rank as Luna, but my voice died in my throat.Lyold looked down at me. His gaze raked over my body, slow and insulting. He looked at my black veil, my fitted silk dress, my heaving chest.He took a half-step closer, invading my personal space, forcing me to lean my head back further. I could see the water droplets clinging to his eyelashes. I could see the pulse jumping in his jaw.He leaned down, his face inches from mine. His voice was a low rumble, a sound that vibrated straight through the soles of my feet and settled deep in my womb."Hello, Ariel," he murmured, the name rolling off his tongue like a curse.I shivered, unable to stop myself.His lips quirked up at the corner, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. It was a shark's smile."You look beautiful in mourning," he whispered, his hot breath ghosting over my cold, rain-slicked cheek. "Tell me, Mother... Did you dress up for me?"*******************************************He was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit.She was forced to marry his father.Now he’s back….and he wants everything.Lyold spent four brutal years locked in a cell for his stepbrother’s murder, robbed of his Alpha birthright and betrayed by every wolf he once called family.
