Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 28. Ash and Thunder
Rhea’s POV“Kael,” I whisper into the dark.A howl rips the forest open.It rolls across the trees like thunder, and the wolves in the shadows flinch. Then he’s there—bursting through the brush with Violet at his side, a few Draven wolves fanning behind them. He doesn’t need to shift; the force of him is enough. His eyes burn gold, and the air tightens as if the night itself bows.The Order’s wolves hesitate. Even Eloria narrows her eyes, her lips curving in a slow, cold line that isn’t a smile.Kael doesn’t look at her. He doesn’t look at the witches. He looks at me.“Rhea—are you hurt?” His voice is low and rough, the sound of a promise.I shake my head, breath catching. “No—I’m okay.”Fenrak steps in before I can say more, sliding just a half-step between me and everyone else—not blocking Kael, just… standing with me. “She’s safe,” he says, steady. “I’ve kept her safe. If you want her alive, we work together.”The forest holds its breath.Kael’s gaze lifts to Fenrak. For one long s
Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 27. Chains and Shadows
The dungeon beneath Draven Estate was cold, damp, and merciless. Every stone was carved to break the spirit, every chain forged to bite into flesh. It was no place for mercy—and Kael wasn’t in the mood for any.Alder sat shackled against the wall, wrists rubbed raw, her lips curled into a smirk that didn’t quite reach her eyes. Across from her, Varek strained against iron chains thick as an arm, his bulk diminished but not his hunger for defiance.Kael paced between them, his wolf restless beneath his skin. His shadow stretched long in the torchlight, jagged and predatory.The iron door groaned, and Violet slipped inside, clutching a small leather satchel. Her dark eyes flickered from Alder to Varek, then back to Kael.“You sent for me?” she asked softly.Kael’s jaw tightened. “Rhea’s gone. The Dreadmaws attacked Elara’s cottage. We found blood—hers.”Violet froze, a chill running through her veins. “And you think they—”Kael cut her off, nodding toward the prisoners. “We’ll see how m
Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 26. A Wolf in the Smoke
Rhea’s POV The smoke clung to me like a shroud.It filled my lungs with every shallow breath, the taste of ash and iron staining my tongue. My body felt heavy, pinned down by exhaustion and pain, but somewhere beneath it all was the echo of Kael’s voice — sharp, commanding, calling my name through the chaos.I forced my eyes open. The forest swam in and out of focus, trees veiled in drifting smoke that blurred their edges. My ears rang, a dull, endless hum that made it hard to tell if the battle was truly over. My last memory was of snarling jaws, claws raking the ground, and Kael’s figure locked in combat just beyond reach.Now, silence.A shape moved through the smoke. My chest seized, fear snapping me awake. My arms trembled as I tried to drag myself backward, but pain flared down my leg — twisted, swollen, useless. The figure drew closer. Tall. Broad-shouldered. Eyes catching light even in the haze.“Easy,” a voice said.Fenrak.Relief surged, chased immediately by unease. He loo
Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 25. When Silence Breaks
Rhea’s POVThe growls outside sharpened into roars, each one vibrating through the fragile wooden walls of the cottage. The air thickened with dread, heavy enough to choke me. Kael’s hand found mine for the briefest moment before he let go, his voice a low command that brooked no argument.“Stay inside. Don’t open that door until I say.”Before I could answer, the door shuddered beneath a brutal impact — something massive slamming against it hard enough to splinter the frame. My breath caught as the hinges squealed in protest.Kael was already moving. His body blurred into motion, muscles stretching and twisting, bones cracking in the terrifying, mesmerizing shift. His growl deepened into the full-throated snarl of the Alpha wolf, filling the room until I could feel it in my bones.Through the window, silver streaks burst into the night — Draven wolves, Kael’s pack, throwing themselves into the fray. The darkness outside exploded with movement: wolves colliding, claws tearing, teeth s
Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 24. Before the Howl
The forest was not the same after the battle.Violet’s boots pressed into damp soil, each step whispering in echoes of violence. She could still sense the residual energy lingering in the air—ashes of fury and blood, the metallic tang of wounds, the raw heat of unleashed power. The place where Kael and Marek had nearly torn each other apart, where the Watcher had descended, carried a silence too heavy for ordinary woods. It was the silence of something watching.Her fingers brushed the silver chain around her neck, feeling the cold pendant pulsing faintly against her skin. A reminder of Rhea, of why she was here. She crouched near the spot where the earth was clawed open from Kael’s strikes, where mud had mixed with blood, and whispered under her breath:“Show me.”Scooping a handful of soil, she flung it upward. The dirt scattered into the night air, drifting like dark sparks. For a moment, nothing answered. No sign. No whisper. Just the breath of trees swaying above her.Then came t
Alpha Kael And The Crimson Bloodline 23. The Whisper in the Woods
The world outside Elara’s cottage was silent. Too silent. Not even the wind dared stir the thick trees that surrounded us. I sat on the edge of the couch, my hands trembling only slightly now—not from fear, but from exhaustion. The smell of blood still lingered in the air, faint yet metallic, a reminder of the chaos that had unfolded only hours ago.Kael stood in the center of the room, shirtless, his chest streaked with drying blood, though none of it was fresh anymore. I couldn’t help but stare at him. His wounds—deep, ragged gashes across his shoulder and ribs—were already knitting themselves closed. The sight was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. The speed of his healing wasn’t human. Even for a werewolf, it was extraordinary.“Are you… alright?” My voice came out steadier than I expected.Kael glanced at me, his expression unreadable. “I will be. I’m not easy to kill.”I knew that already. I’d seen him fight tonight—seen the sheer force behind every strike, the feral power that
