The Council Hall of the Moon Pack was an echo of Kael’s soul: cold, cavernous, built from stones that had witnessed centuries of bloodletting. Today, the air inside wasn’t just heavy—it was nearly unbreathable. Not from smoke or fire, but from the suffocating weight of Kael Blackwood’s Alpha aura, raw and unrestrained.

Phoenix crouched in the shadows of the high gallery, fingers curled around the cold stone railing. Hidden, silent, yet seeing everything.

Below, Kael sat at the head of the circu

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 358 Serena’s Spy

    The carbon-fiber claw shrieked against the elevator doors, a sound like a serrated knife dragging across a chalkboard. The blue laser grid that had been lazily scanning the shaft suddenly sharpened, snapping into a surgical, burning red. It didn’t just pass over me; it anchored. The light pooled on my midsection, pulsing in time with the frantic, double-thud of the life growing inside me.“Alert,” the system’s synthesized voice vibrated through the floorboards. “Unauthorized biological signature detected. Multi-heartbeat resonance confirmed in non-registered Omega unit. Protocol Zero in effect.”Kael’s knuckles went white as his hand closed around the grip of his sidearm. He didn't look at the drones hissing behind the six-inch gap in the doors. His gaze was pinned to the red light tracing the curve of my stomach. His brow furrowed, his eyes searching mine with a look that wasn't just suspicion—it was a terrifying, hollow recognition, like a man trying to remember a dream that was tur

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 357 The Elevator Heat

    The silver-salt emitter’s whine climbed into a frequency that set my teeth on edge, the violet glow at the nozzle casting jagged, flickering shadows across the cemetery frost.I didn't answer; I only tightened my grip on the Moonstone shard, the edges biting into my palm until I felt the sting of broken skin. Serena’s finger twitched on the trigger, her pixelated features struggling to resolve into the mask of the Savior."I asked you a question, glitch," she said, her voice dropping into that synthesized rasp.I focused on the bite of the air—negative four degrees—and the way the ozone from her weapon burned the back of my throat."A mistake," I said. My voice was flat, a short declaration of fact. "That’s what your system calls me. If you want a longer title, go ask the High Elder why his perfect world is rotting from the basement up."Serena’s knuckles whitened around the grip. She was a savior built on a sequence of lies, and my presence was a corruption her processors couldn't fo

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 356 The Graveyard Visit

    I didn't pull my sleeve down. To hide the glowing silver lines would trigger a stress-response in the Null-Drone’s optics, and right now, my pulse was the only thing I could afford to keep steady. The red scanning beam stayed locked on my wrist, a hot, invasive needle of light. In Rebirth City, your biology was your login credential; mine was currently flagging as a corrupted file."Acknowledged," I said. My voice was a flat, calculated monotone. I didn't look at the drone’s mechanical eye. I looked at the frost blooming on the sub-level floor, tracing the way the ice crystals mimicked the geometric patterns of the city’s motherboard. Temperature was the only thing that didn't lie in this basement.The drone’s landing gear retracted with a sharp clack-hiss. It hovered six inches off the metal grating, a sphere of polished chrome that hummed with a low-frequency vibration."Proceed to the Northern Cenotaph," the synthesized voice crackled. "Manual formatting required. Failure to comply

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 355 Scent of a Lie

    The static didn't just sound like white noise; it tasted like copper on my tongue and felt like needles against my neck. I hit the bottom of the vertical chute with a jolt that sent a cold prickle across my collarbone, the impact radiating through my shins.I rolled, my palms skidding over vibrating steel that hummed with a low-frequency thrum. The air down here was different—thick with the scent of ozone and the dry, metallic tang of scorched silicon. I didn't move. I didn't breathe. I simply pressed one hand flat against my stomach, feeling for the anchor.Leo?A rhythmic, heavy vibration answered deep in my marrow. It wasn't a heartbeat—not yet—but a pulse of raw data-stream that Rebirth City’s scanners couldn't map. He was steady. The child was the only thing in this world that wasn't currently pixelating into nothingness.Above me, the Citadel’s shriek reached a new pitch, the sound of the primary core melting down echoing through the vents like the scream of a structural integri

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 354 Alpha vs. Alpha

    The server didn’t just scream. It pulsed—a low, tectonic thrum that rattled my teeth and traveled up my arm to settle in my marrow. The key pressed against the interface port was a sliver of absolute zero, biting into my palm even as the machinery groaned. Red light from the drones washed over the server racks, turning the processors into a jagged landscape of blood and shadow.Kael moved faster than the machines.Before the first laser-grid could map my vitals, his weight slammed into me. The impact forced the air from my lungs, pinning me against the vibrating server pillar. His hand was a vise around my throat. He didn’t crush my windpipe, but the pressure was a promise—a cold, Alpha calculation that I was one twitch away from a broken neck.I didn’t twitch. I didn’t beg. My hand remained locked on the key, the metal edge cutting into the meat of my thumb."Who sent you?" Kael’s voice was a rough snarl, stripped of the polished authority he wore in the upper circles. Here, in the b

  • Replaced by His First Love   Chapter 353 The Phantom Hacker

    “Begin.”The word didn’t just hang in the air; it sank into the floorboards, vibrating through the soles of my boots like a low-frequency tremor. Valerius didn’t look at me again. He didn’t have to. His thumb remained pressed against the crown of his golden watch, his thumb-pad whitening against the metal as the red pixels bled across the glass face. Fifty-nine seconds.I didn’t waste a breath on a plea. I turned and lunged for the maintenance hatch behind the heavy velvet drapes.The iron rungs were forty-eight degrees—a biting, skeletal cold that leached the heat from my palms as I scrambled down into the dark. The air in the sub-levels tasted of ozone and recycled oxygen, thick with the metallic tang of a machine running at a lethal overclock. Above me, the muffled roar of the Pack feast continued. The scent of roasted venison and expensive bourbon filtered through the vents, a cruel reminder of the world that had formatted me. Serena would be laughing now, her hand resting on Kael

    1.5 meters.That was the distance between a heartbeat and a stone grave.The chain yanked again, and this time, the mountain wasn’t just pulling; it was sentencing. The Shared Heat—that jagged needle of ice—ripped through my ribs, a cold, structural execution that m

    The blackout lifted, and the first thing I saw was my own signature staring back at me like a noose I’d tied myself.I retched. My nose was so clogged with ash I wanted to vomit. I leaned over, my right hand clawing at the quartz floor, my lungs fighting for air that tasted of scorched sil

    The mountain didn’t just groan; it shrieked, the sound of ancient basalt splintering like glass as the ruins began to feast on the very air in our lungs.One second, we were bracing for the impact of a falling ceiling; the next, a massive slab of blackened ice tore through the vaulted arch, slammin

    The indigo fog didn’t just swallow Leo. It erased him—leaving the cavern dim, and me hollow.One moment his small hand reached for mine, tiny fingers brushing my skin in a final, desperate search for an anchor. I saw the terror in his eyes—not a King. Not a weapon. Just my son.The next, the bone-w
