Chapter 99 Compromise

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-23 10:20:56

Kira was preparing Thorn’s plate when the mindlink hit her like a cold thread, pleading.

She froze mid-motion.

Thorn didn’t ask what was wrong.

He didn’t need to.

He turned slightly in his chair and watched her, every shift in her expression, every flicker of calculation behind her eyes.

*Kira?*

The voice was faint — brittle at the edges — but unmistakably Sarah.

Kira didn’t answer.

Not yet.

Silence was her blade of choice.

On the other side of the link, Sarah exhaled shakily. She could feel she had been heard. She could also feel she was being measured.

*I know you don’t trust me,* Sarah whispered at last. *But I need your help… and in return I’ll help you.*

That was the hinge.

Not an apology.

A bargain.

The one language Kira respected.

Her response was a single word — quiet, but edged like a drawn dagger.

*How?*

Thorn leaned back, watching her with the stillness of an ancient predator who has already guessed what was going on. He waited to see if she would agree to a deal with

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 179 Our Little Moonlight

    My contractions started just before dawn.A slow wave at first… then another… then one so strong it took my breath away. Blaise sat up instantly, rubbing my back, his eyes already wide and focused.“Baby,” he whispered, voice trembling with excitement, “it’s time.”Storm was asleep between us, curled against my pillow. Blaise brushed his curls gently. “Little man… hey, buddy… Mommy’s having your sister today.”Storm blinked awake and gave the sleepiest, brightest grin. “Sissy coming?”“Yes, love,” I breathed through another contraction. “She’s ready.”Everything blurred into motion.Blaise scooped Storm into his arms with one hand while helping me dress with the other. Ryker and Lyra arrived minutes later, Lyra breathless with excitement, Ryker steady and calm as he guided us to his Hummer.“We’re taking you straight in,” Ryker said. “Hospital’s ready. Jenna called ahead.”By the time we reached the pack hospital, nurses were already waiting. They rushed me into a room filled with sof

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 178 The Demon’s Decision

    Shade hadn’t vanished into the night.He slipped into it.Melted.Spread.His form unraveled into smoke and sinew until he became part of the forest floor, part of the wind threading between trees, part of the darkness itself. His mind pulsed with one thought, one image, one obsession:Two heirs. Two bloodlines. Two threats.The alpha’s unborn child had glowed like a spark in the dark — faint, shielded, but real.Shade had never sensed that before.A pulse. A flare. A whisper of something forming.He wanted to taste it.He wanted to unravel it.He wanted to devour it.But he didn’t move toward the house again — Thorn’s wards crackled like thunder through his skull. Breaking them too soon would cost him. He had tasted the Fae King’s power and knew enough to wait.To study.To learn.He sank deeper into shadow, slipping down into the underworld crevice he called home, where the stone sweated heat and the air buzzed with dying magic. His horde sat clustered around the molten pit, wat

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 177 The Heat of July

    I was deep into my last trimester, and I was miserable. My feet were swollen. My back ached. Everything made me tired. And the heat—mid-July heat—felt like it was trying to finish me off.Storm had entered his Curious Stage, which meant every five minutes came a new question.“How did the baby get in there?” he asked for the fifteenth time that morning.Before I could speak, Blaise answered with that cocky grin of his, “I told her not to swallow watermelon seeds.”Storm’s face dropped in horror.“YOU SWALLOWED ONE?! That's how it got in there?”“No—baby—” I tried to explain, but Blaise was already laughing so hard he had to bend over.Storm crossed his arms, dead serious. “I’m never eating watermelon again. Or cantaloupe. I’m too little to be a mommy!”I was too exhausted even to correct him. I just smiled, kissed his head, and let Blaise suffer the consequences later.We had plans to spend the weekend with Jenna and the twins. Oliver was away on Fae duty, so she was alone wit

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 176 Shadows in the Cemetery

    Shade slipped between the trees like smoke made of hunger.The forest didn’t stir when he passed — it recoiled.Branches leaned away from him as if trying to avoid contact, the way living things react when death walks too close. His form wavered between solid and shadow, drifting along the tree line surrounding the old cemetery.Funeral gatherings always interested him.Grief tasted different in every species.Lycans mourned like wolves — quiet, steady, loyal until the end. Their pain sank deep into the ground like roots.Humans mourned with confusion in their hearts, trying to make sense of something that never made sense to begin with.The Fae mourned with fire and ancient sorrow, because time meant nothing to them and loss never stayed.He slid closer.The small group huddled around the open grave had no idea he was there, no sense of the cold pulling at the edges of their souls.But the spirits did.Shade paused.Spirits always lingered at funerals — tethered by unfinished convers

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 175 Funeral

    The sky felt wrong for a funeral.The breeze moved slowly across the cemetery, brushing the tops of the headstones and stirring the trees.The hearse sat a little way off, black, cold, and still. The casket had already been placed over the grave.It was quieter than I expected.No big crowd. No long line of cars. Just a small group of people gathered near the open grave: Lucas, Sarah, Lyra, Ryker, Myra, Cline, an older woman who had known her grandfather since she was a child, two of his old friends from the mill, and a few neighbors who came out of respect.Blaise stood beside me, his hand resting at the small of my back, steady and warm.We didn’t bring Storm.He was too young to watch a body be lowered into the ground. Too full of questions, too open-hearted. Beth and Sam stayed home with him. Beth had texted before the service started:He keeps asking where you are and why Sarah is sad. I told him you’re saying goodbye to someone old who was tired and needed to rest in the

  • Alora's Windsong   Chapter 174 Saying Goodbye

    Sarah sat on the front porch swing with Lucas, the old boards creaking under their weight. The evening breeze carried the smell of pine and fir, the same scent her grandpa’s land had always held. Fireflies glowed faintly in the field beyond the fence, blinking like tiny lanterns marking the passing of time.She wiped a tear from her cheek with the back of her hand.“One day this will be ours,” she whispered, her voice trembling.Lucas wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close. “He wanted you to have it,” he said gently. “He told me that the night he thought he lost you forever. He wanted you to have something that would carry his memory.”Sarah nodded, but her breath caught. “I’m grateful for this time with him… but he’s getting worse, Lucas.” Her voice cracked. “I see it every day. He’s slipping.”Lucas pressed a kiss to her hair. “I know,” he murmured. “But he knows you’re here. That’s what matters.”She leaned into him, letting herself feel the ache, the fear, the l
