Alpha? It now registered in her mind what the second man said.

Her eyes flicked to the tall. Alpha? No. No. No. That couldn't be him .

But the way the second man's eyes darted to him, the way he tried to defuse the tension. It all made sense in a horrifying way. She had just insulted the Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack.

The stranger's lips lifted slightly, not into a smile but something that said he had noticed the moment she realised who he was.

" You didn't know who i was? " he murmured. " Interesting. "

" I don't care who you are." Heat reached her cheeks, but she refused to be shy.

" Good," he said softly. " Then this will be fun. "

He stepped further into the library, slow and deliberate. Each step felt like a challenge.

" You shouldn't be in here, " he said.

" And you should? " she spat back. " This is my father's library. "

" Your father's ? " His brow rose. " That's what they told you? "

Her heart skipped a beat. " What is that supposed to mean? "

He didn't answer. He walked past her slowly, trailing his fingers lightly over the edge of the desk. Be scanned the opened page of the document she had been reading.

" They let you see this?" he asked in disbelief.

" I found it myself, " she snapped.

He lifted the corners of the burned letter, eyes sharpening. " Of course you did. "

She hated the way he said it like he had known her for a long time, like he had been watching her long before he stepped into this room.

Her hands curled into fists. " I'm not scared of you ."

" You should be ." He stepped closer, close enough that she could she his eyes clearly.

"You don't know what exactly is happening around you," he said softly. " You don't know why you've been hidden here. You don't know why your parents are desperate. His gaze lowered to the documents. " And you have no idea the kind of danger you're in. "

Her chest tightened, but her expression remained cold.

" And why should I believe you? "

He leaned in his voice, dropping to a low whisper in a warning tone.

" Because I'm one of the few people who isn't lying to you. "

She stiffened, " You don't know anything about me."

He almost smiled. Almost, but he didn't.

" I know you're stubborn. " A step closer.

" I know you hate being told what to do." Another step closer.

" And I know you didn't want this alliance, and you still don't. "

Her breath faltered, but she refused to show it.

" Move out of my way." She whispered.

He didn't.

So she shoved past him only for him to catch her wrist gently, not to restrain her but to stop her long enough to say :

" We are not allies yet , and if you keep looking for answers, the people you trust most would be the first to disappear. " He locked eyes with her.

She yanked her hand free, " I don't take warnings from strangers."

He stepped back, but his voice remained low, dangerous, and certain.

" You won't see me as a stranger for long. " He turned and left abruptly as he had entered, the door slamming shut behind him.

Silence flooded the library. Her hands shook not from fear but fury.

She hated him. She hated how handsome he was. She hated how he talked to her. She hated the way he made her skip a beat for a blink of an eye when he looked at her like that. And at least of all, she hated how he knew something she didn't know of.

  • Alpha Rex.   Chapter One Hundred and Eighty Five

    ISABELLA’S POV For several seconds, I forgot how to breathe. The woman standing behind my father was older than the woman in the portrait Orion had shown me. Silver streaked her hair, and exhaustion had carved lines around her eyes. Her clothes were worn, and there was a faint scar near her temple, but none of that mattered. I knew her. Somewhere deep inside me, beneath years of forgotten memories and unanswered questions, I knew her. “My little star.” The words broke something open inside my chest. I took a step toward her. “Mother?” Her lips trembled. “Yes, my darling.” I shook my head, tears blurring my vision. I had imagined this moment so many times that I had stopped allowing myself to believe it could ever happen. In some dreams, my mother came back and explained everything. In others, she stood far away, unable to reach me. But she was here. She was real. And she was looking at me as though she had been waiting for this moment for years. I ran to her. She caugh

    ISABELLA’S POV Malrec clapped slowly. “How touching. A family reunited through tears and regrets.” He stepped away from the barrier. “Now, Isabella, we can stop pretending. You have heard the truth. You know why you were hidden. You know what your father sacrificed.” He held out his hand. “Come to me, and I will release him.” Rex stiffened. “No.” Malrec ignored him. “One step across the marked circle. That is all I ask.” I looked at the floor. A ring of black symbols surrounded the barrier. I hadn’t noticed it before, but now I could see that the markings were connected to the chains holding my father. “What happens if I step inside?” I asked. Malrec’s expression was almost gentle. “The Heart will recognize your presence. Its power will flow through the chamber, and I will finally be able to stabilize it.” “By controlling Eira.” “By giving Eira the guidance it desperately needs.” Eira’s voice whispered inside my mind. “Isabella, he is not telling the truth.” I look

    ISABELLA’S POV“Do not let him open the Heart!”Eira’s warning rang through my mind, but I could barely understand what it meant. My father was standing behind a wall of black light, looking at me with eyes that were somehow familiar despite the years separating us.He was alive.He was real.And he was looking at me as though he had spent every day of his life waiting for this moment.“Isabella,” he whispered again.I took a step forward.“Dad?”His eyes filled with tears. He tried to stand, but the chains around his wrists pulled him back. I heard the painful clatter of metal against stone, and something inside me snapped.“Let him go!”Malrec smiled.“Such a beautiful reunion. I wonder whether it will be as beautiful when you discover what your father has done.”“Don’t listen to him,” my father said urgently. “Whatever he tells you, don’t believe him.”Malrec tilted his head.“Still protecting her with half-truths, aren’t you, Alaric?”Alaric.My father’s name.I held on to it as i

    Isabella’s POVWe entered the path just before midnight.The alliance camp had been left under Elara’s command, while General Varos remained behind with a small group of soldiers. He had argued that the Heart was too important to leave without military protection, but Rex had reminded him that an army could not protect something it did not understand.Varos had not liked that answer.I suspected he didn’t like Rex very much either.Our group was small. Rex, Orion, Cassian, Elara, and four trusted soldiers accompanied me. Eira’s light moved ahead of us, floating just above the ground.The path passed between towering trees whose branches twisted together overhead. Strange symbols glimmered on their trunks, appearing and disappearing as we walked.I kept my eyes forward.The farther we traveled, the quieter the world became.No insects.No birds.Not even the sound of leaves moving in the wind.“Is it always this silent?” I whispered.“No,” Orion replied. “The Hollow is listening.”I lo

    Isabella’s POV“Come find him.”Malrec’s voice disappeared into the wind, but the words remained in my mind.I stood staring at the mountains, unable to move. Somewhere beyond them was a man I had spent my entire life believing I had lost. A man who knew I existed. A man who had apparently been calling out to Eira, asking it to protect me.My father.I had so many questions that I didn’t know which one to ask first.Was he hurt? Did he know I was coming? Had he watched over me from a distance while I grew up with another family? And if he had been alive all these years, why had nobody told me?Most of all, I wanted to know whether my mother was alive too.“Isabella.”Rex’s voice brought me back to the present.I turned toward him. His expression was serious, but there was warmth in his eyes.“We need to prepare before we leave,” he said. “Malrec wants us to rush into whatever trap he’s created. We shouldn’t make it easy for him.”“I know.”“Do you?”I frowned. “What is that supposed t

    (Isabella’s POV) “Say it again.” My voice barely came out. The words Eira had spoken continued to echo inside my head. Your father is still alive. I stared at the glowing entrance of the Heart, waiting for Eira to explain itself. Nothing happened. The light around the doorway simply pulsed softly, almost like a heartbeat. Rex was still beside me. His hand had found mine again, and this time I held on tightly. “My father?” I whispered. Eira’s voice came gently through the air. “Yes.” My chest tightened. “My father is alive?” “Yes.” I looked toward Orion. The old guardian had gone completely still. Cassian was no different. That was enough to tell me they knew more than they were saying. “You knew,” I said. Neither answered. I stepped toward them. “You knew my father was alive.” Orion lowered his eyes. “Isabella…” “No.” My voice cracked. “Don’t call my name like that. Answer me.” Rex moved slightly closer, but he didn’t stop me. I needed this. I needed the

    The sky did not split again. It only… shimmered. Like a scar still deciding whether it wanted to reopen. By nightfall, the rift had sealed completely. No more tremors. No more tearing light. The air still felt different—charged, thinner somehow—but calm had returned to Blackthorn territory.

    ***Earlier after the clash*** The war didn’t continue that night. It ended in exhaustion. Not because anyone had won but because something bigger had paused the board. By the time the courtyard cleared, the moon had climbed high and the stronghold felt hollowed out. Wolves moved quietly, ca

    By dawn, the elders had gathered again. Not to talk. To judge. “She destabilizes the pack,” Elder Marris said, his voice thin but firm. “You saw what happened. The wards bent around her. The creatures came for her. This is no longer theory.” Rex remained seated in the Alpha’s chair, black stone

    The warning didn’t just end the night; it shattered it. The pale-cloaked delegation barely finished speaking when the wards erupted. Not the outer wards—those howled like wounded animals—but the inner ones. They only reacted to betrayal or a threat already inside Blackthorn.Ash was the first to ac
