ログインThis book suspense is too much; I don't even know if this child will survive all this trauma and conflict. Please, I want to ask something, my readers is it a bad thing to have a human mate? Don't you think something is wrong with the Alpha Council? Please do well to be following everyday because I will be updating at least 3 chapters a day. And always remember to support my book and comment on how you feel about each chapter.
CHAPTER 32 The news of Elder Magnus’s advance spread through the Blackwood Sanctuary before sunrise, carrying with it a silence far more frightening than panic. Warriors who had spent years preparing for battle suddenly found themselves facing a name whispered only in stories. Magnus was not simply an elder of the Alpha Council. He was the commander who had crushed rebellions, destroyed rival Packs, and forced even the strongest Alphas to kneel before the Council’s authority. His arrival meant one thing.The Council had stopped treating Damien as an Alpha who could still be reasoned with , they now considered him an enemy.The atmosphere inside the Sanctuary changed almost instantly. The clang of steel echoed through the training grounds as warriors sharpened their weapons, while armored vehicles disappeared into the surrounding forest to reinforce hidden checkpoints. Every entrance was sealed, every patrol doubled. The peaceful mountain refuge Aria had begun to know transformed
CHAPTER 31The morning after Sophia’s message arrived, an uneasy silence fell over the Blackwood Sanctuary.Unlike the peaceful quiet that usually embraced the mountain estate, this silence carried the weight of expectation, as though the ancient walls themselves sensed that something irreversible had begun. Warriors moved through the grounds with sharper vigilance, their conversations reduced to murmurs, their eyes constantly scanning the surrounding forest. News of Isabella’s actions had spread among Blackwood’s inner circle overnight, and no one underestimated what it meant.Once the Alpha Council stopped operating from the shadows, diplomacy had already failed.Aria stood by the library window, absently turning the pages of a book she hadn’t read for nearly an hour. The words blurred together, refusing to settle in her mind. Every few minutes, she found herself glancing toward the long driveway leading into the Sanctuary, wondering whether Sophia had already left the city. She had
CHAPTER 29The morning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the Blackwood Mountain Estate, casting a soft golden glow across the master bedroom. The fortress-like sanctuary deep in the mountains had become their temporary home, a place where the outside world with its councils, enemies, and scandals felt distant. Yet for Aria Johnson, the peace was fragile, like a thin veil that could tear at any moment.She lay in the large bed, her hand resting on the prominent swell of her belly. At nearly six months pregnant, the baby was active and strong, kicking with a rhythm that both comforted and terrified her. The child was a living reminder of the love she had shared with Damien and the danger that love had brought into her life.Damien lay beside her, his arm draped protectively over her waist. His breathing was steady, but Aria knew he wasn’t fully asleep. He had barely left her side since they arrived at the estate, his presence both a comfort and a source of emotional turmoil.
CHAPTER 30The Blackwood Sanctuary woke slowly beneath a blanket of silver mist. Nestled high in the mountains where the world seemed impossibly far away, the ancient estate stood untouched by the chaos consuming the outside world. Towering pines swayed gently with the morning breeze, while the first rays of sunlight spilled over the stone walls that had protected generations of the Blackwood bloodline. To anyone looking from a distance, it would have appeared peaceful—a place where nothing terrible could ever happen.Aria knew better. The Peace had become something she no longer trusted.She stood alone on the balcony outside her bedroom, her fingers wrapped loosely around a mug of tea that had long since gone cold. The warmth had disappeared from the porcelain, much like the certainty that had once filled her life. Beyond the mountains, the sky glowed with soft shades of gold and pale blue, yet she found herself unable to admire the view. Beauty had become difficult to appreciate wh
CHAPTER 28The private jet touched down on a hidden airstrip nestled deep within the rugged Blackwood Mountains. The estate was one of Damien’s most private properties, an old fortress built into the mountainside centuries ago, fortified with modern security and known only to a trusted few. The Alpha Council had no record of it. Isabella’s spies had never found it. It was the perfect place to hide while they regrouped.Damien helped Aria down the stairs, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. The mountain air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of pine and fresh snow. Aria shivered slightly, but the baby kicked gently, as if approving the new surroundings.“This is Blackwood Sanctuary,” Damien said softly, guiding her toward the massive stone entrance. “It’s been in my family for generations. No one outside the inner circle knows about it. We’ll be safe here.”Aria looked up at the fortress towering stone walls, ancient towers, and modern security systems blending seamlessl
CHAPTER 27The SUV tore through the narrow streets of Willow Bay, tires screeching against the wet pavement as Lucas swerved to avoid another roadblock. Behind them, the sounds of battle echoed through the night snarls, gunshots, and the furious howls of the Blackwood warriors clashing with the Alpha Council’s Crimson Guard. The once-peaceful coastal town had become a warzone, and the stakes had never been higher.Damien Blackwood sat in the back seat, his arm wrapped protectively around Aria, his hand resting gently on her rounded belly. The mate bond between them hummed like a living flame, hot and insistent, pulling them closer with every passing second. Aria leaned into him, her head resting against his chest, her fingers intertwined with his. The baby kicked strongly, as if sensing the danger and the safety of its father’s presence all at once.“Are you okay?” Damien asked, his voice low and rough with concern. His free hand brushed a strand of wet hair from her face, his thumb l
