Kairos’s POV

"Everyone assumed I was to blame when Seren disappeared."

Snow was able to conceal things, but not guilt.

The valley still smelt of enchantment three days after the Convergence broke. Where the Thread had struck, silver scars were cut into the ground. Among the debris, wolves muttered, their eyes wide with blame, terror, and worse—hope twisted into distrust.

Every eye came to me.

I was blamed in every whisper.

The Keeper was lost by him.

He disrupted the circle.

He's concealing something.

They weren't incorrect. I had something to conceal.

The truth.

Seren is still alive.

I was still able to sense her. I felt a slight tug in my chest, like a heartbeat beneath my skin.

However, I had no idea where she was.

And that was a deeper wound than any blame they could throw.

Rowan approached first, his cloak trailing frost. “The eastern packs want answers,” he said. “They claim Seren’s disappearance is a sign of corruption.”

“They weren’t here,” I muttered. “They didn’t see w

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Ninety-Two

    Kairos’s POV“The moment Seren collapsed into my arms, I knew something inside her had changed.”Her body trembled against me, cold and weak. I sank to my knees in the snow with her cradled against my chest. The scent of her fear hit me first. Sharp. Raw. It clawed through my control. Marek pushed forward inside me, restless and angry.Rowan reached us in seconds. “Alpha. What happened. She vanished. The whole forest shook.”“I know.” My voice came out tight. “She was pulled.”Seren lifted her head weakly. Her eyes flickered with silver light. Not normal silver. Brighter. Wilder. It made the hair rise on my neck.I brushed a thumb over her cheek. “Seren. Look at me.”Her gaze struggled to focus. “I came back.”“You did.” I pressed my forehead to hers. “You did.”But even while holding her, I felt the echo of something else. A presence. A shadow clinging to her through the Thread.It was faint.But it was there.Lily ran toward us with two healers. “Alpha. Her aura is shaking. We need

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Ninety-One

    Seren’s POV“The darkness did not feel empty when it took me. It felt like someone was waiting for me inside it.”At first, everything was silent.Not quiet.Silent, like sound had been removed from the world.The cold wrapped around me. My body felt weightless. My breath fogged in front of me, then vanished into the black air. I tried to step back, but my foot did not touch ground. There was no ground at all.Only floating shadow.A faint crackling sound rose behind me. I turned slowly. Blue lines glowed across the darkness. They curled like veins or threads and pulsed in time with my heartbeat.The Ravager’s voice filled the space.“Little Threadbearer. You have come home.”“I did not come,” I whispered. “You dragged me.”A soft chuckle rippled through the dark. “You tied yourself to the Alpha. You opened the path yourself.”I clenched my fists. “I did not open anything for you.”“Yet here you are.”The shadows thickened ahead of me. They twisted like smoke being pulled into a shape

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Ninety 

    Seren’s POV“The moment I heard his voice inside the air, I knew I had pushed the Thread too far.”**My body jerked as if someone pulled a cord inside my spine. The world blurred into streaks of white and silver. Kairos held me close, but I felt like I was slipping through him. The Thread inside me pulsed, wild and sharp. It hurt. It burned. It clawed at my chest like it wanted out.Then his voice echoed again.Strong. Cold. Deep enough to shake the trees.“You cannot hide her from me.”The Ravager.He was not speaking from the forest anymore.He was speaking inside the Thread.Inside me.I gasped and grabbed Kairos’s cloak. “He is in my head.”Kairos’s arms tightened around me. “Seren. Look at me.”But I could not hold focus.The world tilted sideways.My heartbeat slammed against my ribs.Lily cried out, “Her eyes. Kairos, look at her eyes.”Kairos cupped my face. “Seren. Stay with me.”I tried.I truly tried.But the Thread pulled me toward a different voice.The Ravager’s voice.“

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Eighty-Nine

    Kairos’s POV“If he is already here, then every second we stand still is a mistake.”The moment the words left my mouth, the forest shifted. Not with sound. Not with movement. With pressure. Heavy. Slow. Cold. Like something enormous was pushing against the world from the inside.Seren’s breath caught beside me.She grabbed my sleeve. “Kairos. Do you feel that?”“Yes.”The ground under our boots trembled. Not enough to shake snow loose, but enough that I could sense the wolves in the kernels stir and whine.Lily backed away. “This feels wrong.”Rowan drew his blade. “Where is he?”“Everywhere and nowhere,” Seren whispered. “He is not walking. He is reaching.”The Thread inside her glowed faintly. I hated how it pulled at her. I hated how it sensed him even from here. I moved in front of her without thinking.“Stay behind me.”She shook her head. “No.”“Seren.”“Kairos.”We stared at each other in the cold wind. Snow swirled around us like restless spirits. The forest pressed in tighte

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Eighty-Eight

    Seren’s POV“If he thinks I will let him fight alone, he does not know me at all.”That was the first clear thought I had as soon as Kairos stepped out of the healer’s room. The door clicked shut behind him. Mira gave me a sharp look.“Do not move,” she warned. “You are barely holding steady.”“I am fine.”A lie.My hands were still trembling.“You are not fine,” Mira said. “Your pulse is weak, your thread is unstable, and your entire body feels cold. Do not pretend you can walk out of here like nothing is wrong.”“I can and I will.”She placed a firm hand on my shoulder. “Seren.”I exhaled sharply. “He is preparing to face the Alpha Ravager alone. You expect me to stay in this room while he does that?”“For once,” Mira muttered, “yes.”But the moment Kairos closed the door, the Thread inside me stretched again. It tugged toward him like a cord pulled tight. Mira’s face blurred for a second, and I grabbed the side of the cot to steady myself.Mira’s expression softened. “Seren… sit do

  • FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW   Chapter Eighty-Seven

    Kairos’s POV“If he knows where to find her, then he knows where to strike first.”That thought burned through my mind as I held Seren in the north tower. Her breathing was too shallow. The color had drained from her face. The Thread inside her flickered like a flame fighting to stay alive.I pulled her close. “You are safe. Stay with me.”Her fingers curled weakly into my cloak. “I did not let him touch me.”“I know.” I brushed her hair back gently. “You did well.”But inside, I felt the fear she was trying to hide.Fear that she was slipping.Fear that he was pulling stronger.Fear that the Thread was beginning to obey something older than her will.I lifted her into my arms. She tried to stand, but her knees buckled. “Do not fight me,” I whispered. “Let me carry you.”She rested her forehead against my shoulder. Her breath trembled against my neck.“Rowan,” I said without turning, “go ahead of us. Gather the healers. Warn Vaughn.”Rowan nodded and sprinted down the stairs.As I car
