The journey back to Valthera felt never-ending.

Kael sat slumped against the back seat of the car, his breathing coming in ragged gasps. His face had grown frighteningly pale from the large amount of blood he had lost, and beads of sweat trickled down his forehead onto his clothes despite the cool air blowing through the car's vents.

He had his right hand pressed weakly against his lower abdomen, attempting to reduce the bleeding, while his left rested limply beside him.

    The next announcement came from an unexpected direction. That evening, after Kael had returned from the office, the royal communications office released a formal statement under his authority at precisely seven o'clock. It was published simultaneously across the pack's official news channels. The headline appeared clearly in bold lettering. ALPHA KAEL BLACKTHORN ADDRESSES FALSE CLAIMS ABOUT HIS HEALTH AND CONFIRMS VALTHERA WILL SOON WELCOME A NEW LUNA. Within seconds, the kingdom's attention shifted again. The statement read: The Royal Palace of Valthera has taken note of the false and speculative reports circulating regarding Alpha Kael Blackthorn's health and personal circumstances. The Alpha wishes to clarify that no medical report has confirmed the claims about his reproductive health, and any claims suggesting otherwise are false and should not be treated as confirmed information. Alpha Kael remains committed to his official duties and continues to receive appropriate me

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    The Alpha Resumes His Duty

    The news had spread through Valthera that morning, before Kael reached his office. ALPHA KAEL BLACKTHORN RESUMES OFFICIAL DUTIES AFTER RECENT ATTACK. The headline appeared on the kingdom's major news platforms, royal information channels, and the screens mounted throughout the capital. By breakfast, it was the subject of conversation in restaurants, offices, markets, training grounds, and throughout the entire pack. Some of the pack members celebrated his return, others questioned whether he had recovered enough to continue his duties as Alpha, and a growing number wanted answers about the rumours surrounding his ability to father an heir. But Kael Blackthorn had no intention of giving anyone the liberty to question him about his private affairs. He certainly had no intention of allowing those rumours to dictate the terms of his return. At precisely ten o'clock that morning, the doors to the Alpha's administrative office opened, and Kael walked in wearing a perfectly tailored bla

    Dr. Ellan cleared his throat. "I understand that this is an emotional subject for both of you, but I would encourage you to separate the medical decision from the pressure of the succession debate." Aria and Kael immediately turned towards him. "Your ability to have a child is a personal and medical matter," Dr. Ellan continued. "The Council may have its own political concerns, but those concerns should not dictate whether Aria undergoes a medical procedure." For the first time that morning, Kael appeared to relax slightly. "At least someone understands that. That is what I'm trying to make her understand," Kael replied, his eyes moving towards Aria. "However," Dr. Ellan added, "I would say the same thing to Aria. Wanting to help the person you love is understandable, but neither of you should feel obligated to pursue IVF simply because the Council expects an heir." Aria lowered her eyes. "I don't feel obligated by the Council." "Then why do you want to do it?" Ell

    The following morning, Aria woke up late. Kael was already awake by the time she opened her eyes. He lay on his bed, staring at the white ceiling, his expression unreadable. The soft dawn light filtering into the room through the hospital windows illuminated his features, but it did nothing to ease the tension on Kael's face. Aria watched him quietly for a moment. Kael had barely slept that night. She knew because every time she had stirred during the night, she had found him awake, his eyes fixed on their hospital ward door. She had almost asked what he was thinking about, but she remained silent when she realised that she already knew the answer. Their argument from the previous evening which remained unresolved. "Good morning, Kael," she whispered. Kael turned his head towards her, his eyes softening for a moment. "Good morning, sweetheart," he replied, his voice gentle, but something was missing from his usual warmth. Aria stepped down from her bed, walked over

    Kael gently removed his hands from Aria's and stood up, wincing slightly as he shifted his weight."I don't want you to go through that, Aria.""Go through what? The IVF procedure?" Aria asked, a little confused."The procedures. The examinations. The injections. The possibility of complications. The stress of trying to conceive for me through medical intervention and carrying a pregnancy. I don't want you to go through all that stress."Aria's expression softened as she listened to Kael's words."Kael—""No." His voice was firm. "You have already done enough for me. You have stayed beside me through this injury. You have watched me struggle with the possibility that I may never have children. You have encouraged me not to give up and not to think that my worth is measured by my ability to father a child. You have listened to me talk about my fears and pain. And now you want to put your own body through a medical process because you think you have to save me.""I'm not trying to save

    The hospital corridors were quieter than they had been earlier in the day by the time Kael returned from the council meeting. The silence, however, did little to calm the storm raging inside him.Doctor Ellan had insisted that the condition for him to attend the council meeting was that he avoid stressing himself and return to his room to rest immediately afterward. Kael sighed as he walked down the hallway, his mind still trapped in the events that had unfolded in the council chamber, replaying every word, every argument, and every hand that had risen against him.Twelve hands. Twelve elders who had once sworn to protect the interests of Valthera.Twelve people who had considered replacing him before the claims of his infertility had even been confirmed.Kael's jaw tightened as he remembered their expressions.He had fought enemies on battlefields without hesitation and faced threats against his life with a calmness that often unsettled even his warriors.Yet nothing had prepared him
