Alpha Kael did not stop walking after leaving the council chamber.

He simply pulled me along with him.

It took me several steps to realize something strange.

Our hands were still intertwined.

For a moment my ears still rang with the memory of raised voices and the scrape of chairs across the floor. The smell of old parchment and iron had followed us out like a ghost.

But Alpha Kael did not pause.

He did not even look back.

He simply kept walking through the corridor with long, steady strides.

    Alpha Kael did not stop walking after leaving the council chamber.He simply pulled me along with him.It took me several steps to realize something strange.Our hands were still intertwined.For a moment my ears still rang with the memory of raised voices and the scrape of chairs across the floor. The smell of old parchment and iron had followed us out like a ghost.But Alpha Kael did not pause.He did not even look back.He simply kept walking through the corridor with long, steady strides.My mind was still tangled inside the council chamber... inside the punishment he had delivered so calmly... inside the cold silence that had followed.Then my gaze dropped again.Our hands.Still joined together.His hand held mine firmly as he walked through the corridor, long strides confident and effortless.Not hesitant.Not questioning.As if this had never been unusual at all.As if my hand had always belonged in his.My chest tightened slightly.'He really does whatever he wants.'My eyes

    The chamber did not breathe.For several long seconds after Alpha Kael gave the order, no one moved. The council hall, which only moments ago had been filled with raised voices and shifting chairs, had fallen into a silence so deep that I could hear the distant echo of armor in the corridor outside.Ruiz was being dragged away.The warriors held his arms firmly as they pulled him toward the doors. The sound of his boots scraping against the stone floor seemed louder than it should have been. No one tried to stop them. No one spoke.Even the elders who had been arguing earlier now sat perfectly still.My fingers tightened helplessly in my lap.I could not tell if the room had grown warmer…or if it was only him.I had not moved either.Slowly, almost without meaning to, I glanced toward the man beside me.Alpha Kael looked completely calm.Not angry.Not even irritated.If anything, he looked almost bored.As though he had merely given a small correction… not a punishment that could cr

    The silence after Alpha Kael spoke felt strange. “Unless you would rather sit where I sit.” No one in the council chamber moved. For a moment, it was as if the entire room had forgotten how to breathe. I suddenly became very aware of where I was sitting. Not across the chamber. Not standing among the advisors like before. But beside him. Close enough that the warmth from his body reached me through the small space between our chairs. My hands rested quietly in my lap, but my shoulders had stiffened without my permission. 'Why did he say that…?' Several elders exchanged brief glances. One of them shifted forward slightly, clearly debating whether to continue speaking. The tension in the chamber felt thick. Finally, one of the older council members cleared his throat. “My lord,” he said carefully, his tone respectful but strained. “The seat beside the Alpha is not a place casually occupied.” The meaning was obvious. That seat was meant for the Luna. Not for someone lik

    AERIN For a moment after Alpha Kael spoke, I did not move. “Come.” Your seat is here. The words settled in the chamber with a quiet weight that seemed to reach every corner of the stone hall. No one spoke. The council table remained perfectly still, yet the air had changed in a way I could feel even without looking up. I heard the shift of fabric as someone adjusted in their chair. A faint intake of breath somewhere along the far side of the table. The guards standing along the walls had gone straighter, their attention sharpened as if something unexpected had just entered the room. And all of it seemed to circle around one simple thing. The empty chair beside the Alpha. My heart began to beat harder. I knew he was watching me. I could feel it before I even lifted my head. When I finally did, his eyes were exactly where I had expected them to be. On me. Alpha Kael had not moved since speaking. He sat with the same relaxed posture he had held since the council began, one arm

    I did not sleep deeply.I knew it the moment I opened my eyes, because my body felt alert instead of rested, as though something inside me had remained awake long after the room fell silent.The chamber was still dark. Quiet. Unchanged.I wasn’t.I lay there, listening to my own breathing, to the faint rhythm of my pulse.My hand moved slowly to my wrist.The exact place where his lips had brushed my skin.There was nothing there now. No warmth. No mark.Still, my pulse quickened beneath my fingers.I pressed harder, as if I could force the reaction to stop.It didn’t.“Staying close to me.”His voice returned easily, steady and certain.“And let me do the rest.”I swallowed.What lingered was not the kiss.Not even the closeness.It was the fact that I had not stepped back.His hand at my waist had not pulled me. He had not trapped me. He had only stood there... occupying the space behind me in a way that made retreat feel unnecessary.He had not dragged me closer.He had simply not

    My hand was still in his.I did not pull it back.I think I forgot how.The place where his lips had touched my wrist felt warmer than the rest of my skin, a quiet heat that refused to fade no matter how still I held my breath. I could feel my pulse there, loud and uneven beneath his fingers, betraying every attempt I made to sit properly.His thumb moved once.Barely.Not a stroke.Just enough to remind me my hand was still trapped in his.My breath shortened.'Why does that feel worse than being held?'Beta Nial cleared his throat.I almost jumped.“The role,” he repeated, flat and patient, as if explaining something simple to a slow student. “Is necessary to stabilize perception.”My mind struggled to follow his words.“Perception…?” I asked.Nial nodded once. “The council believes the Alpha’s judgment is compromised.” His eyes flicked briefly to our joined hands, then back to my face. “We will not correct that belief.”My chest tightened.“You want them to think…” I hesitated.“Th
