Maelva stood before the enormous windows of his council chamber, his hands clasped behind his back as he stared at the kingdom stretching beyond the palace walls.

He had been waiting for Seraphina.

There were too many unanswered questions, too many things happening at once. He could not afford to leave anything to chance.

The doors opened, and Seraphina entered.

She bowed her head respectfully.

“You summoned me?”

Maelva turned to face her.

“Yes. Come closer.”

Seraphina approached, her e

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    A Future Worth Fighting For

    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 LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    Between Love and the Throne

    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

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    Twelve Hands Against the Alpha

    "That is not what this is about," Elder Nikolai protested."Then what is it about?" Kael asked.Nikolai opened his mouth to speak but found no immediate answer.Kael gave a humourless laugh."This is interesting."He rested his hands on the table as he continued."You speak of the Blackthorn bloodline as though it is nothing more than a womb waiting to produce an heir. You speak of stability as though I have spent my reign sitting on this throne, doing nothing and simply watching you all.""Nobody is questioning your achievements, Alpha," Malakai said."Your actions suggest otherwise to me."A heavy silence followed Kael's words.Then Elder Soren delivered another blow."Achievements do not guarantee the future, Alpha. No ruler lives forever. If you cannot provide an heir, we must consider alternatives. It would be irresponsible to allow sentiment to endanger the kingdom."Kael remained silent for a second before staring at Soren."And what alternative have you found, Soren?"Caius st

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    The Council's Betrayal

    The Council Chamber of Valthera felt so cold when Kael stepped in.Despite the massive fireplace burning in a corner of the room and the air conditioner, which had been adjusted to provide more warmth, the atmosphere was suffocating.At the far end of the room, at the head of the long middle table, stood an elevated platform where the Alpha's seat rested.It was a golden-coloured throne carved from black stone, with silver markings running along its edges, symbols of the bloodline that had ruled Valthera for generations.Kael Blackthorn had occupied that throne since the death of his father, Caleb Blackthorn.Today, however, the elders were looking at the throne as though it no longer belonged to him.Luna Melina followed closely behind him as he entered. Cassian walked on Kael's other side, his expression grim and cold.Dr. Ellan had allowed Kael to attend the meeting on the condition that he would not strain his injury.The moment he stepped into the room, the murmuring among the el

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    A Threat to the Throne

    Kael's voice remained controlled, but the anger beneath it was unmistakable."Why was I not told? Neither you, Cassian, nor Pria bothered to let me know about this development."Luna Melina moved closer."I'm sorry, Kael. We didn't want to add unnecessary stress while you were recovering. We wanted to understand what we were dealing with before telling you."Kael looked away, his jaw tightening visibly."I appreciate your concern, Mother. But I am still the Alpha of this pack. I cannot lead people who believe they know more about my health than I do.""Your health is not a public matter," Luna Melina replied firmly. "You owe nobody an explanation about your medical condition.""Perhaps not. But the people spreading these rumours are not interested in privacy or truth. They're interested in weakening me."Aria slowly reached for Kael's hand."Kael, the rumours do not change what we know. Your tests have not been completed. Dr. Ellan has not made a definitive diagnosis that you are infe

  • THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate    The Rumour No One Told Him About

    Aria was lying in bed that afternoon, thinking about the events of that morning, when she glanced over at Kael. He had fallen asleep, his face peaceful and calm as he rested. Her thoughts drifted further. She could still remember the way Kael's thoughts had reached her, warm and clear, as though he were whispering directly into her mind. Even now, she wondered whether it was something she could control or another mysterious ability waiting to reveal itself. A gentle knock on the hospital ward door suddenly interrupted her thoughts. "Are you ready, dear?" Luna Melina asked from the doorway. Aria turned around. "Um, not yet, Ma. Kael is still asleep." Melina's eyes moved towards Kael. "Oh, I thought he would be awake by now. Dr. Ellan is expecting us. I guess I'll just have to come back later." Aria immediately sat up in bed. "I think we should go and see Dr. Ellan. Since he has made time to see us amidst his busy schedule, we can tell Kael what he says when we return
