Chapter: Chapter 9For a moment, I just stared at his outstretched hand. Part of me wanted to ignore it after the way he had dismissed me earlier. But then I remembered that the collision had been partly my fault. I had been too distracted and wasn't paying attention to where I was going.Taking a slow breath, I pushed aside my pride and accepted his hand.“Ms. Vida Elene Moretti,” I introduced myself politely. “I'm a scholar here.”His smile widened.“Wow. That means you're intelligent.”Heat crept up my cheeks as I shifted my weight awkwardly.“Not really,” I replied with an awkward laugh.Jacob chuckled softly and shook his head.“Trust me, earning a scholarship isn't easy.”For the first time since being summoned to the guidance office, I found myself relaxing slightly. The knot in my chest loosened a little, and I almost forgot about the humiliation waiting for me.Then I remembered his question. My brows furrowed as I looked at him.“Wait,” I said. “What did you mean earlier when you asked if you

Chapter: Chapter 8My stomach dropped when I saw him step out of that room, Khaelon Dravik. Tall, expressionless, and colder than I remembered. His eyes, so sharp and calculating, immediately locked onto me, making my heart race faster than I could control. I clutched my notebook tighter, feeling the weight of everyone’s gaze, the whispers swirling around us.He paused, as if weighing whether I deserved his attention. Then, in that calm yet terrifying voice, he spoke.“You argued and insulted the daughters of the families who pay big money to this university, the ones your kind looks up to,” he said, voice low and dangerous. “Because of that, you’re going to be punished.”My eyes widened, dread pooling in my stomach. I had only defended myself against their sneers, their mocking words. I didn’t think I’d done anything wrong. If anything, I’d only stood up for myself. But his expression told me he saw it differently.Khaelon’s gaze hardened as he took a step closer, voice low but deadly.“They pay a lot

Chapter: Chapter 7“I’m sorry,” I whispered softly while avoiding his eyes.Jacob frowned immediately as if my apology annoyed him even more. His sharp gaze stayed on me, making my chest tighten painfully.He looked like he wanted to say something.But before he could even speak.....“Jacob! Sweetheart!”A feminine voice suddenly echoed behind me.I froze slightly before turning around.A beautiful woman wearing expensive clothes walked toward us confidently. Her long curled hair bounced perfectly behind her while the students around us immediately stared in admiration.Without hesitation, she wrapped her arms around Jacob’s neck and kissed him directly in front of me.My fingers unconsciously tightened around my books.I quickly looked away.The woman then noticed me standing there awkwardly.Her perfectly shaped eyebrow lifted before she looked at Jacob curiously.“Who is she?”For a brief second, Jacob’s eyes landed on mine again.Cold.Unreadable.Then he answered carelessly.“Nobody.”The word hit

Chapter: Chapter 6VIDA’S POVThe room went dead silent.Every pair of eyes turned toward the doorway where Khaelon stood, tall and unreadable, his broad shoulders blocking half the light from the hallway. The air shifted the second he entered, heavy and sharp like a storm rolling in.The two girls who had been mocking me instantly straightened.One of them, the blonde from the cafeteria, recovered first. Her glossy lips curved into a slow smile as she crossed her arms. “Mr. Dravik,” she said sweetly. “We were just talking.”Khaelon’s icy gaze slid toward me.For one stupid, humiliating second, my heart actually leaped.Because somewhere deep inside me, the foolish part that had admired him for years still believed he would step in again. Like he did in the cafeteria.Like maybe that version of him was real.I hated myself for hoping.The brunette laughed softly. “Your little scholar looks upset.”My grip tightened around the worn book in my hands.Emilia shifted beside me, clearly uncomfortable. “Maybe

Chapter: Chapter 5KHAELON’S POVI couldn’t get her name out of my head.Moretti.The moment Emilia Cruz said it out loud in the cafeteria, it was like someone jammed a knife between my ribs and twisted.It wasn’t just a name. Not to me. Not after everything.I sat in my office in the Dravik University administration wing, the walls cold and quiet, the hum of the central air the only sound. I should’ve been reviewing the weekly training schedule for the hockey team or the list of sponsors for next month. Instead, all I could think about was the girl with wide brown eyes, shaky hands, and a name that made my blood boil.It didn’t make sense. I’d never really liked a woman before. Sure, I’d had my share of attention from girls chasing the Dravik name, the varsity jacket, the money, but none of them caught my attention like she did today. She hadn’t tried to impress me. She hadn’t flirted. She just sat there, looking like she didn’t belong, and somehow made me want to know why.I liked her.I actually like

Chapter: Chapter 4I flinched and looked away from Khaelon, turning toward the voice behind me. A woman was walking over sharp features, her chestnut hair tied in a messy bun, glasses that were a little too big for her face. She looked serious at first, but as she got closer, her expression softened, and that weird tension in my shoulders eased a bit.“Your ID,” she said, holding out the small card. “You dropped it near the vending machines earlier.”My jaw dropped. “Oh wow. Thank you. I didn’t even realize I lost it.”She gave a kind smile. “No problem.” Her eyes shifted to Khaelon, who was still standing close behind me. Only then did he finally let go of my waist.I hold the ID with a shaky hand and turned to her again. “Thanks again… um, what’s your name?”She adjusted her glasses. “Emilia Cruz. I’m one of the guidance assistants for the freshman program. But I’m also a senior here.” She held out her hand with a small smile. “Nice to meet you, Vida.”I blinked. “Wait, how do you know my…”“It’s righ

The Alpha Biker's Healer
Dr. Kahlia Ford has spent a year putting her life back together after the painful betrayal of her ex-husband. Strong, calm, and independent, she refuses to be a victim again, especially to an Alpha male.
But when Alpha Jaron Creed, once a strong and fearless biker now broken by a terrible accident, is placed under her care, everything she has rebuilt starts to change. His quick temper, harsh words, and stubborn pride test her patience every day. But under all that anger and toughness is a man fighting his own pain. As Kahlia helps him stand back up, she also begins to face the wounds she has been hiding, the scars left by her ex-husband, and the heart she swore she would never open again.
Jaron starts to see that even the strongest healer has deep wounds of their own.
Things become even harder when Kahlia’s ex-husband comes back into her life. Obsessed and unwilling to let her go, he is ready to ruin everything just to have her again.
But when old secrets come out and the truth can no longer stay hidden, will love hold them together, or will the revelation of those truths break them even more than the past ever did?

Chapter: Chapter 141The smoke thickened as we pushed south.At first it lingered like a warning—thin, uncertain, easy to dismiss.Then it became a trail.Then a presence.By the time the first ridge broke open ahead of us, it was everywhere.Jaron slowed, raising a hand. The group behind us stopped instantly.No one spoke.We didn’t need to.I moved up beside him, crouching low as we approached the crest.“Wind’s wrong,” he murmured.“It’s shifting,” I said. “Carrying it uphill.”“Which means whatever’s burning…”“Is still burning.”We reached the top.And saw it.The valley below—one of the southern supply corridors—was scarred.Not destroyed entirely.But dismantled.Precision.The storage outpost had been split open, not collapsed. Timber walls cut clean rather than smashed. Supply crates broken—not looted, not fully burned—just ruined.Made unusable.Jaron exhaled slowly.“…Yeah. That tracks.”My eyes moved past the structures.To the bodies.Not many.That was the first thing that stood out.A norma

Chapter: Chapter 140We didn’t speak much on the way back.Not because there was nothing to say—But because there was too much.The forest had shifted again.Not physically.But perceptibly.Every snapped twig, every rustle of leaves, every shadow between trees now carried weight. Not immediate danger—no one was following us—but awareness.We had crossed a line.And whatever came next would not be small.Jaron walked slightly ahead this time, his usual loose posture replaced with something more deliberate.“You’re thinking five steps ahead again,” he said without looking back.“Trying to.”“And?”“And I don’t like any of the outcomes.”He huffed quietly.“Good. Means you’re being realistic.”We pushed through a stretch of dense undergrowth before the terrain finally began to rise toward the fortress ridge.From here, we could just barely see the outer watchtowers in the distance.Home.For now.“They wanted us to hear that,” Jaron said after a while.“Yes.”“The external threat.”“Yes.”He glanced over h

Chapter: Chapter 139The ravine swallowed sound.Water thundered below, churning white against jagged stone, mist rising in cold bursts that clung to the air. It blurred distance, softened edges, made everything feel closer than it should have been.Or farther.Hard to tell which.Jaron shifted beside me, weight balanced, gaze sweeping across the figures lining the opposite ridge.“…That’s more than last time.”“Yes,” I said.Behind the silver-pendant figure, at least six silhouettes stood spaced with deliberate precision.Not clustered.Not random.Positioned.“They’re controlling the terrain,” Jaron murmured.“Funneling us,” I added.His lips curved slightly.“Good thing we walked in willingly.”The figure across the ravine tilted their head, as if amused.“You adapted quickly,” they called out, voice carrying cleanly despite the roar of water.Jaron didn’t bother raising his voice.“Occupational hazard.”A faint smile.“But adaptation alone isn’t enough.”“No,” I replied evenly. “But it’s a start.”The

Chapter: Chapter 138Morning came reluctantly.The storm had burned itself out sometime before dawn, leaving the fortress wrapped in a damp, uneasy stillness. Water dripped steadily from the stone eaves, each drop echoing faintly in the courtyard below.It felt like the aftermath of something unfinished.Because it was.Jaron hadn’t slept.Neither had I.By the time the first light crept over the mountains, the fortress was already awake—guards doubling rotations, messengers moving faster than usual, tension threading through every corridor like a drawn wire.And beneath it all—Expectation.“They let us live.”Jaron stood by the war room window, arms crossed, staring out over the valley.His voice wasn’t confused.It was annoyed.“Yes,” I said.“That’s bothering me.”“It should.”He glanced back at me.“They had the advantage. Surprise, positioning, numbers.”“And still chose not to finish it,” I added.Jaron exhaled sharply.“That’s not mercy.”“No.”“It’s strategy.”“Yes.”Silence stretched.Because we

Chapter: Chapter 137The storm did not ease.If anything, it grew more violent as the night deepened—wind clawing at the fortress walls, rain striking stone like thrown gravel. The kind of storm that drowned out footsteps.The kind of storm that invited intruders.Jaron and I both felt it before either of us said a word.A shift.Subtle. Almost nothing.But wrong.We had just reached the upper corridor when Jaron’s hand caught my arm.“Did you hear that?”I nodded once.Not a sound, exactly.The absence of one.The guards stationed at the eastern stairwell should have rotated by now.They hadn’t.Jaron’s voice dropped to a whisper.“Stay here.”“No.”His jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t argue. He knew better.We moved together, silent despite the stone beneath our boots.The closer we got, the clearer it became.Too quiet.No armor shifting. No low murmured conversation.Nothing.Jaron reached the corner first and leaned just enough to look.Then he froze.Not fear.Calculation.That was worse.“What

Chapter: Chapter 136Night settled heavily over the ridge fortress, but sleep never truly reached it.Torches burned low along the stone corridors, casting wavering shadows that made the walls seem to breathe. Guards rotated in quiet patterns, their steps soft but alert.Jaron and I didn’t bother returning to our chambers.Instead, we claimed the war room.Maps covered the central table—territories, supply routes, old battle markers from conflicts that had ended years ago but still whispered lessons if you knew where to look.Jaron leaned over the map of the northern valleys.“If someone pushed Varik into this,” he said, tapping a ridge line with a finger, “they either promised him protection… or convinced him they were stronger than the consequences.”“Or both,” I replied.He glanced at me.“You’re thinking bigger than a rogue Alpha, aren’t you?”“Yes.”Because something about the entire scheme had bothered me since the recruits first confessed.Livestock attacks were crude.Framing Iron Vale was clever,

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY SIXJacob’s snarl tore through the clearing as he lunged again, his claws raised to rip through Draven’s throat. But Draven moved first. He surged forward with a burst of strength that looked almost inhuman, fueled not by pure power but by something far deeper.By love.By desperation.By the need to protect me and our children.He slammed into Jacob with such force that the breath left Jacob’s lungs in a harsh gasp. Their bodies collided, fists flying, claws tearing, their growls vibrating through the chilled night air. Draven’s roar shook the ground itself, raw and animalistic, the sound of an Alpha on the edge of losing everything.Jacob stumbled backward as Draven drove him across the dirt. Blood flew in an arc

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FIVEThe night air turned colder as we descended the mountain path. Leo led us through the narrow trail carved between jagged rocks while I held Amari and Arden tight against my chest, their tiny bodies trembling from my own shaking. The moon hung low, bleeding silver across the forest canopy, as if even the sky sensed the violence waiting below.Every step felt heavier than the last.Every breath felt borrowed.The bond inside my chest pulsed sharply, each throb echoing Draven’s pain. It was like being stabbed from the inside, a burning thread tying my heart to his. My knees threatened to buckle with each surge, but I forced myself forward. I would crawl if I had to. I would bleed if it meant reaching him.“Leo,” I whispered hoarsely as branches slapped against my arms. “Are we close?”Leo looked back grimly. “You will hear them soon.”Hear them.My heart seized because that meant Draven was still fighting.But also meant the monster who wanted me dead was still alive too.We reached the

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FOURThe stone walls of the mountain fortress hummed with a quiet, ancient magic, but tonight, none of it eased the shaking in my hands. The torches along the corridor flickered as if reacting to the frantic beat of my heart. The air felt heavier than usual, the silence too deep, the shadows too alive. I pressed my back against the cold wall and tried to steady my breathing, but my chest refused to expand.Something was wrong.Really wrong.Leo had been gone for hours. He said he would only step outside the barrier to scout, but the moon had already shifted higher above the jagged mountain peaks, and the dread inside my stomach had grown into a solid, suffocating knot.“Please, hurry,” I whispered to no one as my arms wrapped protectively around baby Amari and Arden, both asleep inside their crib made of carved obsidian.Their tiny breaths were soft, but even they sensed the tension. Arden kept twitching in his sleep, little hands curling into fists. Amari whimpered sometimes as if she cou

This tremor came with a deep growl that vibrated through the walls of the fortress, making the runes flare brighter in response.My heart leapt painfully into my throat.I rose from the stone bench so fast that my legs nearly gave out, one hand gripping the edge of the cradle where Amari and Arden slept to steady myself. The glow of the ancient symbols flickered along the walls, like veins of gold reacting to danger. Every pulse of light matched the wild, terrified pounding in my chest.“Draven…” I whispered, breath trembling.The babies stirred at the vibration, small bodies shifting under their blankets. Arden whimpered softly while Amari tried to curl closer to his brother, sensing something was wrong even in sleep.I leaned over them, brushing a trembling hand across their tiny foreheads. “It is alright,” I whispered, though the words felt empty and false. “Mommy is here. Mommy is here, my loves.”But was their father?The fea

Chapter: CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY TWOLeo guided me quickly through the hallway, one hand gripping Arden’s small bundled form against his chest while I held Amari close to mine. My legs felt unsteady, almost boneless, as if every step pulled me farther away from the only person who made me feel safe. The air outside was cold and tense, thick with the rumble of distant growls echoing from the forest edges. The pack was already preparing for battle. Wolves rushed past us, shifting mid-run, their eyes fierce and determined.Every heartbeat felt like a countdown.“Stay close to me,” Leo said, keeping his voice low so it would not carry in the frantic air. “We need to move fast, Luna.”I swallowed the lump in my throat. “Is Draven already on the front line?”“Yes,” Leo said without slowing. “He is organizing the shield formation. The rogues are drawing closer. We cannot risk them reaching the packhouse.”My chest tightened painfully. I clutched Amari tighter, pressing my cheek to his soft hair. He fussed and whimpered, sensing
