Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Forty: The House Tries to Keep Them
The door slammed shut behind them with a sound like bone breaking.Aira felt it in her chest before she heard it. The whole house shuddered once, hard, and then went still in the awful way a body goes still when it knows it has been wounded. Kael tightened his hold on the newborn instantly, one arm wrapping around the child with fierce protectiveness while the other came up in front of Aira as if his body alone could keep the dark from reaching them. The blackness at the edge of his eye flickered, but this time it did not spread. Not with Aira pressing her hand flat against his chest through the bond, shoving warmth into him with every breath she had left. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. Do not look back.” His breath came ragged and broken. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once and then went still against her fingers. The baby in his arms made a small startled sound, not a cry, just the shock of being alive in a place that had suddenly turned hostile arou
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Nine: The Last Lock
Come to me.The words came from the newborn in Kael’s arms, but Aira felt the lie in them at once. The baby was there. She could see the tiny fists, the wet lashes, the trembling mouth. She could feel its heartbeat against her palm when she reached for it. The voice was wrong because it was not the child speaking. It was the thing wearing her mother’s face below the floor, the root gate reaching through the first breath and trying to use the baby’s mouth to pull them back in. Aira’s throat tightened with rage and fear so sharp it nearly made her shake apart. Kael went rigid beside her, the blackness at the edge of his eye surging hard as the voice hit him through the blood. She did not let him fall. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every time he had held her when she was shaking, every fierce promise he had made that no one would ever take her from her. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Eight: The Hand That Was Not Hers
Aira’s breath caught when the newborn’s tiny hand rose from the darkness beneath the floor.It was so small that for one wild heartbeat she almost told herself it could not be real. Then she saw the mark. The broken ring. The same mark that had burned on her wrist, Kael’s palm, her mother’s chest, the witness child’s hand. Her stomach turned cold and hard. Kael went rigid in her arms, the blackness at the edge of his eye flaring again as if the sight had struck straight through the oldest wound in his blood. Aira did not let him fall. She locked both hands over his chest and shoved herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through fear, every promise he had made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the hand.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby in
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Seven: The Breath Inside the Breath
The newborn answered with a second breath, and Aira felt the whole house recoil.Kael went rigid before her eyes, one arm still locked around the baby, the other raised in front of Aira as if his body alone could stop the dark from touching them. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard, then thinned, then surged again, and Aira knew the root gate was trying to ride the shock straight into him. She did not let it. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through terror, every promise he had made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the baby’s mouth. Look at me.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby in his arms gave a small, strangled sound, not a cry, not yet, just the shock of life trying t
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Six: The Breath That Broke the Gate
The root gate reached for the baby with Aira’s mouth still stretched across its face, and for one horrible second Aira forgot how to breathe.Kael moved before fear could finish taking shape. He caught the newborn tighter against his chest with one arm and shoved the other in front of Aira, his whole body becoming a wall between them and the thing rising from the broken floor. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged hard again, but Aira would not let him fall. She slammed both hands over his chest and forced herself deeper into the bond with everything she had left, every memory of him, every fierce moment he had held her through terror, every kiss, every promise made in blood and heat and desperate love. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not let it pull you under.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once and stilled. The baby in his arms gave a tiny sound, not a cry yet, just a breathy pu
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Five: The Child’s First Breath
Aira’s body seized with the next contraction so hard that for one terrible heartbeat she forgot how to breathe. Kael caught her before she could fold, his arms locking around her with a strength that shook beneath the fear he was trying so hard to hide. The blackness at the edge of his eye surged again at the sight of her pain, but Aira would not let him slip. She pressed her forehead to his and shoved herself deeper into the bond, pouring warmth, memory, and fierce stubborn love through the space between them until it burned. “Kael,” she whispered, trembling but fierce, “stay with me. You are here. You are with me. Do not look at the thing below.” His breath came ragged and torn. The tiny hand in his palm twitched once, then stilled. The baby inside her moved hard enough to make her cry out, and the sound tore through the house like a warning. The root gate below lifted its face from her mother’s and smiled at the sound of her pain.Her mother’s eyes were wet, but they were steady wh
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Twenty-Seven: When Wolves Listen
The first thing Aira noticed was the change in sound.The mountain had always spoken—through the low groan of stone, the distant rush of wind through tunnels, the soft echo of pawsteps on polished floors. But this was different.This was attention.She felt it as she walked the eastern corridor und
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Nineteen: When the Pack Turns
The horn did not sound again.It didn’t need to.The first blast had already done its work sending a warning through stone and bone, waking the mountain from its uneasy calm. Aira felt it in her chest long after the echo faded, like a bruise pressed from the inside.She stood alone in the chamber,
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Sixteen: What Power Cannot Take
The rumors spread before dawn.They moved faster than messengers, faster than formal announcements slipping through corridors, carried on lowered voices and careful pauses. By the time Aira woke, the estate already felt different, like the ground had shifted slightly beneath everyone’s feet.Not be
Rejected and Pregnant: The Alpha King’s Forbidden Heir Chapter Fifteen: Lines That Cannot Be Crossed
The threat did not come loudly.It slipped in the way danger often did quiet, deliberate, pretending to be reasonable.Aira was in the east sitting room when the messenger arrived, this time not from the council or her former pack, but from one of the noble houses allied to the throne. The seal was
