Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 104: SPACE BETWEEN CHAOS.
Pov: Ember. The apartment smelled like warm milk and lavender. Morning light filtered through sheer curtains as Ember stepped into the small back room where Lira sat rocking her baby gently. Caelen, nestled in a bassinet nearby, kicked softly in his sleep, fists opening and closing.“He’s finally down,” Lira whispered, voice low but tired.Ember passed her a warm mug. “You look like you could use this more than I can.”Lira accepted it with a faint smile. “Thanks. I forget how small they stay at this age.”Ember sat beside her on the couch. “It feels like you blink and they’re already running into trouble.”The quiet between them was soft, filled with the occasional coo from Caelen’s bassinet.“I don’t want to just sit here,” Lira said after a long moment. “I know I have the baby, and I know I’m still grieving Cael, but I need to do something, Ember. For him. For them.”Ember looked over at her. “You will. You’re here. That’s already something.”Lira nodded, eyes brimming but steady.
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 103: THE DEAL.
Pov: Ember. The elevator creaked softly as it climbed to the fifth floor of the old building just outside Raven’s Peak’s central district. Ember stood beside Lira, who clutched her son close against her chest. The boy had fallen asleep on the ride, his little arms wrapped tightly around her neck.Ember glanced at her and offered a small, warm smile. “She’ll love having you there,” she said gently. “Caelen too. You’ll have space to breathe.”Lira nodded, eyes red but dry. She hadn’t cried since the infirmary. Something about survival hardened things. But even so, her fingers kept brushing her son’s back like she needed to remind herself he was still there.The elevator chimed, and they stepped into a narrow hallway with faded wallpaper and framed photos nailed crookedly to the walls. The air smelled like old wood, herbs, and lavender.At the end of the hall, the door was already open.Caelen appeared first, laying still on the couch.Then Grandmother emerged, silver hair braided down
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 102: BURN IT ALL.
Pov: Cael and Aiden. Scene: Fernmere – Town Square, Just Before DawnFlames clawed at the sky, reflecting off shattered windows and blood-slick stone. Fernmere was chaos—smoke-choked and burning, its people scattered like leaves in a storm.Cael stood at the heart of it all.His coat was scorched. Blood dripped from a gash along his ribs, soaking through his shirt. But his stance was steady, his grip firm on the curved blade that had been passed down through his bloodline. Around him, bodies lay still—some of Aiden’s soldiers, some his own.Above him, the drop ship’s thrusters screamed as it hovered, casting everything in a furious white glow. Then the figure descended.Aiden.Clad in obsidian armor, eyes glowing faintly gold. No fear, no hesitation. Just cold purpose."You never had the stomach for this, Cael," Aiden said, stepping onto the scorched cobblestones."I had the heart you never did," Cael replied.They circled each other."You could’ve ruled Fernmere beside me,” Aiden sa
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 101: SILENT HOWL.
Pov: Cael. Scene: Fernmere – Cael’s First MoveThe storm had passed by morning, leaving damp leaves clinging to Fernmere’s high balconies. Cael stood by his office window, looking out at the training fields. Wolves sparred in pairs, but fewer than usual. The others were likely being siphoned into Aiden’s ranks, or waiting to see which side would come out stronger.He’d made his choice.His fingers tapped a quiet rhythm against the desk as he opened his old records vault. The documents weren’t damning on their own—supply orders, transfer manifests, field patrol notes. But cross-referenced with what Raven’s Peak already had, they might paint a clearer picture of Aiden’s troop movements and alliances.He scanned the first few pages and transferred them to a secure drive—one small enough to hide in the heel of a courier’s boot.“This is a start,” he muttered.Lira leaned in the doorway behind him, arms crossed.“You sure about this?”“No,” Cael said. “But if I wait until I’m sure, it’ll
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 100: QUIET LINES, QUIET MOVES.
Pov: Ember. Scene: Raven’s Peak – MorningThe kitchen in the Nightshade mansion was unusually quiet. No council aides, no scent of fresh bread or clinking mugs. Just Ember, barefoot in one of Asher’s old shirts, pouring black coffee she wouldn’t drink.Asher entered, hair still wet from his shower, t-shirt clinging to his chest.“You’re up early,” he said.Ember didn’t turn. “I felt something last night. Like a thread went slack.”He moved closer, taking the mug from her hands and setting it down. “You think it’s Cael?”“He was supposed to send a message. A quiet one. He’s not late.”Asher hesitated. “You trust him?”“I think he’s scared,” she said. “And scared people try to do the right thing when they know they’re running out of time.”Asher reached for her hand, squeezing it gently. “We’ll check the border logs. Pull satellite heat signatures. If someone stopped the message—we’ll find out.”Ember nodded but didn’t smile. “If Aiden’s that close, it means we’ve got cracks we can’t s
Alpha’s Claimed Mate CHAPTER 99: A Message Snared
Pov: Asher. Raven’s Peak – East Garden, Late AfternoonThe sun had just started to dip, casting gold over the long rows of hedges and manicured paths behind the Nightshade estate. A rare moment of calm.Julian sat on a stone bench beneath a cypress tree, elbows on his knees, staring into the gravel. He hadn’t heard Asher approach—he didn’t have to. He felt the shift in energy before the footsteps even landed.“Figured I’d find you here,” Asher said, his voice low.Julian didn’t look up. “Just needed air.”Asher sat beside him without a word, eyes scanning the garden. After a long pause, he said, “Rowan’s sleeping okay?”Julian nodded. “He always does after a storm. Something about the white noise.”They fell quiet again. The only sound was the distant chirp of evening birds and the soft rustle of leaves.“I saw you with Cael’s envoy yesterday,” Asher said, tone casual but precise. “Looked tense.”“It was,” Julian replied. “They’re pulling out of the summit. Said their council’s been
