FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Forty-two
Seren's POVI woke up to the taste of his name on my tongue and the smell of smoke."I was momentarily unsure of my location. Instead of the war room's stone ceiling, the one above me was made of rough wood. The air was heavy and warm, pressing on the chest. I felt pain radiate down my arm when I attempted to sit up.A voice said, "Easy."Kairos.His eyes were darkened by fatigue as he sat in the chair next to my bed, elbows resting on his knees. He was standing the second I moved.Silently, he replied, "You're safe."I laughed bitterly. "You say that over and over. However, we are both aware that it is untrue.He didn't dispute. His hand hovered over mine, not touching, not moving away either.He remarked, "You've been out for a day." "You broke that rune and burned yourself." You almost stopped breathing, Vaughn says.“I’ve experienced worse.”
FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Forty-One
Kairos's POV“Their Alpha is pursuing what is rightfully —and he believes that to be you.”Long before morning, the beautiful sky was burning.A steady and strange light painted the clouds like frozen lightning as the flames ascended from the western forest. Even the wolves in the kernels whined softly, their tails tucked, and the guards murmured uneasily.It wasn't an ordinary fire from this side of the world.The flame pulsed like a heartbeat as I stood on the battlement. With her cloak pulled tight and her gaze focused on the horizon, Seren stood next to me."They're calling for him," she stated. Her tone was too calm, extremely subdued.“Who is that?”“The Alpha Ravager.” She took a deep breath. “The Chainbearer, as they called him. The person who branded me.”My chest resonated with Marek's growl. "Is he alive?“Not long
FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Forty
Seren's POV"Kairos, you believe freedom is a blessing. For me, it is a bleeding curse."The scent of burning still lingered in the courtyard.By daybreak, where blood had soaked through, the snow had turned grey. Warriors moved silently repairing fences and gathering up remnants from the night's mayhem. I winced with every clang of metal.Staring at the place where the last rogue had fallen, I stood at the edge of the yard. I could still hear him say - "She is aware."Perhaps I did. Perhaps I had always known this would happen.Lily stirred and spoke softly. " Seren, you can't keep avoiding it.""I'm not going to run anymore.""Then what do you think you are doing?"I didn't respond. Because I didn't know the right answer to that question.Before I saw Kairos, the wind carried his scent- steel, smoke, and something darker underneath. He walked with so much con
FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Thirty-Nine
Kairos’s POV“They’ve finally crossed the wall!”The alarm bell tore through the night.I was on my feet before the second toll. The heavy thud of boots echoed from the courtyard, shouts cutting through the cold air.“They’ve crossed the wall!” Rowan’s voice carried from the tower.I grabbed my blade from the rack and bolted into the corridor, Marek already snarling inside me. *Too close. Too fast. Someone had let them in.By the time I reached the yard, chaos had broken loose. Warriors clashed near the eastern fence, their movements blurred by moonlight and smoke. The metallic tang of blood filled the air.“Hold the line!” I roared. My voice carried, cutting through panic.Then I saw her.Seren.She moved like fire—graceful, precise, deadly. Her claws flashed, cutting down the rogue that lunged for her. Another came from the left, and she pivoted, striking him across the throat.For a heartbeat, pride flared through me. And then the scent hit.Ash. Iron. Familiar.Marek’s voice thunde
FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Thirty-Eight
Seren’s POV“The blood isn’t theirs. It’s mine.”The forest was silent again by morning, too silent.The birds found a safe spot to hid, the trees were also holding their breath.I shouldn’t be here. Kairos had told everyone to stay within the protective walls, when have I ever followed. Especially if there are many uncertainties, questions left answered. I heard Lily’s voice stirred in the back of my mind. You’re doing this same thing again.“I know that,” I whispered, kneeling close to the blood-soaked ground to follow the trail. “But I can’t only look and watch while everyone else pretends this I am not the cause.”It was a familiar scent, metal, ash, and something colder beneath. I dipped my fingers deep into the dirt. The blood was sticky and darkened against my skin.Lily stood still and blanked out. This particular scent… It smells familiar.My chest tightened . “Say it.”It’s from your old pack.I frozed out. I suddenly felt like I stopped breathing. “That can’t be true. They
FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW Chapter Thirty-Seven
Kairos’s POV“Alpha, we found blood at the eastern border.”The knock came before dawn.Silence followed three sharp raps. I woke up suddenly from sleep and sat at the edge of the bed. I stared at the floor looking for answers I didn't have. “Enter,” I said.Rowan pushed the door open, breathless, dirt streaked across his arms. “Alpha, check and see this.”His voice carried an edge that got me on my feet before I could think. I stepped outside with the cold air enough to bite. Warriors had gathered with grim faces near the eastern fence line. Seren was among them, folded arms, sharp silver eyes reflecting in the dim light. When she looked up, our gazes met. For a moment, the world stilled—until Rowan crouched near the tree line.“Blood,” he said. “Still warm.”I crouched beside him. The dark stain spread across the snow, too much to belong to a small animal. There were tracks too, deep and erratic, leading into the woods.“Rogue?” I asked.Rowan shook his head. “No scent trail.
