The tension that had been building for days finally snapped.

Not quietly.

Not slowly.

But violently.

BEFORE THE STORM__

The estate was too calm.

That kind of calm that made even breathing feel loud.

Eli stood outside near the training grounds, rolling his shoulders after sparring. Sweat clung to his skin, his chest rising and falling steadily.

Charlotte sat nearby, watching him with a small smile.

“…You’re getting better,” she said.

Eli huffed lightly.

“…Don’t let him hear you say that.”

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 97 (rewritten there was an error in the two other chapters I published 97 and 98)

    The silence didn’t break.Not immediately.Not after something like that.Because truth—Real truth—It didn’t explode.It settled.Heavy.Deep.And it stayed there.Between them.Eli didn’t move.Not forward.Not back.Just… stood there.Breathing.Trying to sort through something that refused to be simple.His parents.His kingdom.The war.The betrayal.Kieran.All of it—Connected.And yet—Not complete.Not fully told.Because there was still something missing.He could feel it.In the way Kieran looked at him.In the way he spoke.In the things he didn’t say.“…There’s more.”Eli’s voice was quiet.Not accusing.Not emotional.Just certain.Kieran didn’t answer.Didn’t deny it either.And that—That was enough.Eli exhaled slowly.“…But you’re not ready to say it.”A pause.“…Or you think I’m not ready to hear it.”Kieran’s jaw tightened.Because both were true.And neither felt right anymore.“…I’m trying not to lose you.”The words came low.Honest.Unprotected.And Eli—He fe

  • Marked by the Alpha King    An error

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 98

    The estate didn’t sleep.Not after that night.Guards doubled.Patrols tightened.Every shadow watched twice.And still—it didn’t feel like enough.Because the danger wasn’t outside anymore.Not completely.It was inside.Somewhere.Watching.Listening.Waiting.Kieran stood in the war room.Maps spread across the table.Marked.Crossed.Tracked.But none of it gave him what he needed.A name.A face.A traitor.His jaw tightened.“…They knew exactly where to strike.”One of the elders spoke quietly.“…That’s not coincidence.”Kieran didn’t respond.“…We should isolate him.”That made the room go still.Kieran’s head lifted slowly.His gaze sharp.Dangerous.“…Say that again.”The elder hesitated.But continued.“…If Eli is the target, then separating him reduces—”He didn’t finish.Kieran moved.Not violent—but close enough.Enough to make the warning clear.“…You don’t separate him from me.”Each word controlled.But edged.Deadly.Silence followed.No one argued.No one pushed.B

    The air shifted the moment they stepped outside the estate walls.It was subtle.Almost unnoticeable.But not to Kieran.Not to Eli.Not to any of the wolves moving in silence around them.The forest wasn’t calm.It wasn’t alive in the usual way.It was… watching.Eli felt it immediately.That same feeling from before.Like something unseen was brushing against his skin.Like eyes—everywhere.He slowed slightly.Kieran noticed.Of course he did.His hand found Eli’s wrist without looking.Firm.Grounding.“Stay close.”Low.Controlled.But this time—Eli didn’t argue.Didn’t pull away.He just nodded once.“I know.”And that alone made something in Kieran ease.Not fully.Never fully.But enough.They moved deeper.Step by step.Quiet.Calculated.The guards spread out.Creating a perimeter.But still—it didn’t feel like enough.Because whatever they were looking for—wasn’t moving like normal enemies.It was patient.Too patient.Eli’s chest tightened slightly.“…Do you feel that?”

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 96

    The change didn’t go unnoticed.Not by the pack.Not by the guards.And definitely not by Kieran’s family.Because for the first time since Eli arrived—Things felt… different.Not tense.Not fragile.But not fully settled either.Something in between.Something that made people watch more carefully.Whisper less.Wait.It was during dinner that it became obvious.The long table was filled—Kieran at the head as always.A few elders.Two of his cousins.And—His younger sister.She had returned only that morning.Unannounced.Unapologetic.And already—Watching everything.Including Eli.Closely.Too closely.Eli noticed.Of course he did.But he didn’t react.Didn’t shrink.Didn’t avoid her gaze.He simply—Met it.Calm.Steady.And that alone made her lips curve slightly.“…So this is him.”Her voice broke through the quiet.Light.But sharp underneath.Kieran didn’t look up from his plate.“…Careful.”One word.Flat.But enough.The room shifted immediately.Because everyone unders

    Eli couldn’t look away.The walls felt like they were closing in—Not physically.But mentally.Every picture—Every moment frozen in time—Was telling him the same thing.This is you.And yet—Everything inside him screamed—No.His fingers trembled slightly as he reached out.Not touching—Just h

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 66

    Eli didn’t struggle anymore.Not because he agreed.Not because he accepted it.But because something in him had… gone quiet.The fight drained out of his limbs as Kieran carried him through the estate, past guards who immediately lowered their heads the moment they saw them.No one spoke.No one d

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 65

    For a moment—Eli couldn’t breathe.His back hit the headboard as he pushed himself away, the thin hotel blanket tangling around his legs. His heart slammed violently against his chest, each beat louder than the last.“…How did you find me?”His voice came out sharper than he intended.But beneath

  • Marked by the Alpha King    Chapter 64

    By the time Kieran reached Seraphina—The entire estate already knew.Something was wrong.No one spoke.No one moved unnecessarily.Even the air felt… tight.Because when the Alpha lost control—No one was safe.The doors to the east wing burst open.Seraphina barely had time to stand.Kieran was
