The Alpha Beast's Hundred-Night Bride. Chapter 35: Kitchen Sins.
Elara’s heart pounded fiercely in her chest as she stood there in the sleek kitchen of Kael’s apartment.She stared at him for a long moment, taking in the tension in his broad shoulders, the stubborn set of his jaw, the way his dark hair fell messily over his forehead, and the storm brewing in his intense eyes.The air between them crackled with something raw and electric, pulling her in despite the anger burning hot inside her.“Kael,” she called out suddenly, her voice sharp and clear.He stopped mid-step and turned slowly toward her, his gaze locking onto hers with a mix of irritation and deeper intensity.“Okay,” he said in a low, challenging tone, “so what do you have to say about this?”Elara stepped closer until she could feel the heat coming off his body, her pulse racing even faster. “I don’t have anything to say about your so-called evidence,” she replied steadily, fire lacing every word. “But here’s what I really want to tell you. First, fuck you. Second, I don’t think you

"What is wrong with your eyes?" Elara asked, her voice was dropping to something careful and uncertain.She reached out instinctively, her fingers moving toward his face.Kael grabbed her hand and removed it from the air between them in one sharp motion.He held her wrist for exactly one second, then released it, turned away, reached for his car keys from the table beside the bed, and walked toward the ward door without looking back."Meet me outside when you are ready to prepare the meal," Kael said, and then he was gone, the door swinging shut behind him and leaving the two women standing in a silence that had its own particular weight.Elara stood completely still for a moment, staring at the door.Then she turned to Jasmine, who was watching her from the bed with an expression that was difficult to read."Did you see that?" Elara said quietly.Jasmine said nothing. She pulled the blanket slightly higher and looked away.Elara stood there another moment, her mind already running th

Elara crossed the room in four strides and grabbed the syringe directly from Kael's grip.She stood there holding it, turning it slowly between her fingers, studying it.She lifted her eyes to his face with an expression that was asking a question her mouth hadn't formed yet."Why," Elara said, her voice measured and deliberate, "are you trying to inject this into her?"Kael looked at her for a long moment, the particular look of a man deciding how much truth is useful right now."I was not doing it with bad intentions," Kael said, his voice carrying the practised ease of someone who had explained their way out of worse. "She was yelling, she was completely out of control, and I felt she needed something to keep her calm and help her rest. That was all it was."Elara looked at the syringe again.Then back at him.Then she exhaled, not entirely satisfied but willing, in this moment, to accept the surface of it."This particular sedative is used to keep patients calm," she said, turning

The doctor exhaled heavily before he spoke, the kind of exhale that carries the full weight of several hours of uncertainty.He looked at them both, there was something genuinely warm sitting behind his professional composure."After putting her through a series of intensive medications and close monitoring," the doctor said, folding his hands together, "it is with a very glad heart that I can tell you both, she is getting better. Significantly and steadily better. We expect a full recovery with continued treatment and proper rest."Elara's entire body responded before her mind caught up with the words...her shoulders dropped, her hand flew to her mouth, and her eyes filled immediately with the kind of tears that come not from sadness but from the sudden and overwhelming release of something that had been gripping you far too tightly for far too long.A sound left her that was somewhere between a laugh and a sob, and she pressed her fingers hard against her lips trying to contain it.

Elara hurried toward the door alongside Kael, her steps were quick and filled with desperate urgency.Kael paused at the entrance, pretending to fumble with the lock as if struggling to open it.When Elara turned to adjust her bag, he swiftly pulled a spare key from his pocket.“Hold on,” he said smoothly. “I have a spare right here.” He unlocked the door with practiced ease, and they stepped inside together.The moment they entered, Lucas raised his head in shock from where he had been hastily concealing the gun.His eyes widened dramatically as he stared at Elara and Kael, the color draining from his face.He lingered on Elara for a long time, disbelief etched into every line of his expression. “Elara, what are you doing here?” he managed to ask, his voice strained.She pushed past him without a word, rushing deeper into the apartment and searching frantically.“Jasmine? Jasmine!” Her voice echoed with panic as she moved from room to room, her face a mask of worry and determination.

Kael and Lucas stood completely still, staring at Jasmine, and for a long, suspended moment, nothing happened.Then the blood came fast and dark, spreading through the fabric of her blouse like ink through paper.Jasmine's legs gave out beneath her as she crumpled to the floor, her body folding slowly, like something that had simply run out of the will to stay upright."You shot her," Lucas said, barely above a whisper, his face was completely drained.He moved before the words had fully left his mouth, dropping to his knees beside her, his hands going to her shoulders. "Jasmine! Jasmine!"He said her name twice, his voice climbing slightly with each repetition, his hands pressing against the wound with the desperate, useless logic of someone who knows it is already too late but cannot stop themselves from trying.Her body shuddered once, a long, violent tremor that ran from her shoulders to her feet and then she went still.Completely, finally still.Lucas pressed two fingers to her
