Kieran’s POV

Stepping out of our rooms after three days felt like stepping back into a world that had kept moving without us.

My wolf was quiet for the first time in three days, calm and resting in the back of my mind. My body still felt warm with the memory of Rosemary—the soft gold of her skin in the sun, her hands on my shoulders, and her soft voice telling me she loved me.

She was still sleeping in our bed, wrapped in a clean sheet. I had spent twenty minutes just watching her breathe befor

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 81: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

    Kieran’s POVI stood in the cold stone cell, my eyes locked onto Rosemary. My heart was pounding hard against my ribs.Vance’s body lay lifeless in the iron chair in front of us, but I couldn't even look at him. My entire mind was focused on my mate.Just seconds ago, she had stood over a full-grown warrior and commanded him with a force I had never seen before. Her eyes had glowed with a blinding white light, and the mark on her neck had burned like fire through her skin. It wasn't standard Alpha power. It was something older. Something ancient."Rosemary," I said softly, keeping my voice gentle so I wouldn't startle her. I kept my hands on her cheeks, feeling her skin cool back down to its normal temperature. "Are you alright? Do you feel weak?"She blinked, looking at me like she was just waking up from a dream. "I... I don't know, Kieran. I felt this intense warmth in my chest. It felt like something took over my voice. I just wanted him to tell us the truth.""You commanded him,"

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 80: THE PRICE OF SILENCE

    Rosemary’s POVThe air in the stone corridors beneath the castle was damp and heavy. I walked right beside Kieran, keeping my chin held high and my shoulders back as our heels echoed against the floorboards.Marcus and Luke were waiting outside the heavy iron door of the holding cell. Both of their faces were tense, their arms crossed tightly over their chests."What's the status?" Kieran asked, his Alpha voice cutting through the chill of the hallway."We cleared every guard on the evening shift, Alpha," Marcus said, handing over a wooden clipboard. "Except one. A warrior named Vance. He was assigned to the private courtyard steps between dusk and midnight, but he can't account for a forty-minute gap in his timeline. And he's refusing to open his mouth.""He won't talk to us," Luke added grimly. "He's just sitting in there staring at the wall.""Leave us," Kieran ordered smoothly. "Rosemary and I will handle him."Marcus hesitated for a second, glancing at me with worry, but he nodde

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 79: THE WEIGHT OF BEING STRONG

    Rosemary’s POVWhen I opened my eyes the next morning, the bright sun was already streaming through the window curtains.The first thing I felt was the warm, steady rhythm of Kieran’s heart beneath my cheek. He was sitting upright against the headboard, his arms still wrapped firmly around me.I leaned back slightly and looked up at his face. His jaw was set, and dark circles shadowed the skin under his golden eyes. He wasn't asleep; he was staring straight ahead at the bedroom door, his mind clearly far away."Did you even sleep at all?" I asked softly, my voice raspy from sleep.Kieran looked down at me, his golden eyes softening instantly. He brought a hand up to brush a strand of hair behind my ear."How could I sleep?" he said, his voice deep and rough. "How could I rest when someone came onto our doorstep and threatened my Luna?"I swallowed hard, the memory of the previous night hitting me like a cold splash of water."Kieran... I'm sorry for freaking out yesterday," I whispere

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 78: IN THE EYE OF THE STORM

    Kieran’s POV The air in the bedroom was thick with fear. Rosemary sat curled on the mattress, her knuckles white as she clutched her robe together. Her breaths came fast and shallow, her body shivering as if an arctic wind had blown straight through the stone walls. I dropped the parchment onto the table and moved to her. Everything inside me—every territorial instinct, every drop of blood in my veins—demanded that I hunt, that I tear the castle apart stone by stone until I found whoever had dared touch our doorstep. But looking at her, my first duty was right here. "Hey," I said softly, dropping to my knees on the floor in front of her. I reached out, gently wrapping my hands over her cold, trembling fingers. "Hey. Look at me, Rosemary." She blinked, her wide, dark eyes finding mine. A tear slipped down her cheek, hot against her pale skin. "Nobody is getting in here," I told her, my voice low, firm, and steady. "I'm right here with you. You're safe. I've got you." I pulled her

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 77: A BREACH IN THE WALLS

    Kieran’s POVI walked into the council room with a light step, still feeling the quiet calm of the woods.Marcus and Luke were sitting by the table, going over the night map. The moment they looked up and saw me, Luke shook his head with a grin."Look at him," Luke said, leaning back in his chair. "A little run in the woods and the King looks like a new man.""Don't get used to seeing me in a good mood, Luke," I said, sitting at the head of the table. "What's the update on the borders?"Marcus tapped a spot on the western perimeter of the map. "Everything has been quiet for the last forty-eight hours, Alpha. The rogues have pulled back from the edges entirely. It seems like whatever was stirring them up has settled down.""The pack is getting worried, Kieran," Luke added, his tone turning a bit more serious. "The lockdown is making everyone feel edgy. People are asking when we can ease up on the restrictions so they can get back to their normal lives."I looked at the map, thinking it

  • The Alpha in My Dream    CHAPTER 76: A COLD SHADOW

    Rosemary’s POVWe walked back to the castle as the moon reached its peak, our skin still smelling of pine needles and cool night air.Near the rear garden, Kieran caught my hand and held it. His thumb rubbed the back of my hand as we walked up the stone steps to our entrance."I need to talk to Marcus and Luke in the council room," he said softly, stopping by the door. He brushed a piece of hair out of my face. "It's just a quick check on the midnight border shifts. Go up to our rooms and rest. I’ll be back soon.""Don't take too long," I said, leaning into his touch."I won't," he promised. He kissed my forehead gently and turned back toward the lower courtyard.I watched him walk away until he turned the stone corner. Smiling to myself, I turned back to open the door.That was when I saw it.Sitting right on the top step, directly in front of the door, was a fresh piece of rosemary. The green leaves were crisp, like someone had just picked them. Wrapped around the stem was a small p
