The silence holds, but it isn’t empty, and I feel it pressing against my skin while more wolves cross the line without hesitation, and Jax’s arm slides around my waist, pulling me closer as Derek shifts behind me, both of them anchoring me in place while everything else moves toward us.

“They’re not stopping,” Jax says, his voice tight but controlled.

“They don’t need to,” Derek answers, his hand steady against my side.

I breathe slowly, and the moment I do, that pulse answers again, not sharp,

    The silence holds, but it isn’t empty, and I feel it pressing against my skin while more wolves cross the line without hesitation, and Jax’s arm slides around my waist, pulling me closer as Derek shifts behind me, both of them anchoring me in place while everything else moves toward us.“They’re not stopping,” Jax says, his voice tight but controlled.“They don’t need to,” Derek answers, his hand steady against my side.I breathe slowly, and the moment I do, that pulse answers again, not sharp, not sudden, just steady, spreading outward like something that already knows where it belongs.The wolves react without breaking pace, their steps slowing, their shoulders lowering slightly, and none of them show teeth, none of them challenge, they just keep coming, like something deeper than instinct is guiding them forward.Jax exhales through his teeth, his grip tightening. “This isn’t normal.”“No,” I say softly, and I feel his hand flex against me.Derek leans closer, his voice low near my

  • The Alpha’s Double Game    Chapter 136 — The Pull That Doesn’t Break

    The pressure builds before anyone speaks, and I feel it moving through me again while the wolves remain on their knees, and Jax’s hand tightens around mine as Derek steps closer behind me, his chest brushing my back as if he’s bracing me without saying it out loud.“They’re still coming,” Jax says, his voice low, tight, his eyes fixed ahead.“I know,” I answer, and my fingers curl slightly against his.Derek’s hand slides to my waist, firm and steady, and he leans closer, his voice near my ear. “Then you hold it. Don’t let it spike again.”“I’m trying,” I whisper, but the moment I say it, another wave rises, stronger, deeper, and my breath catches as it spreads outward without asking.The wolves react instantly, their bodies tightening, then settling again, and more shapes appear beyond the line, moving closer, drawn in like they can’t resist it.Jax exhales sharply, his body shifting in front of me again. “This isn’t stopping.”Derek doesn’t argue, his grip on me firm. “Then we contr

    The wolf stays on his knees, head low, breath steady, and I feel it settle deeper inside me like something just locked into place, while Jax’s grip tightens on my hand and Derek shifts slightly forward, his body still in front but no longer blocking me completely.“Stand up,” Jax says, his voice sharp, controlled.The wolf doesn’t move.I feel the hesitation in him, not fear, not defiance, just… waiting, and my fingers tighten slightly as that quiet hum inside me answers without asking.“It’s okay,” I say.Jax turns his head toward me fast. “Don’t—”But the word is already out.The wolf lifts his head slowly, then rises, not rushed, not forced, just steady, like he heard me clearly over everything else.Jax exhales through his teeth. “You see that?”Derek doesn’t look away from the wolf. “I see it.”More movement follows behind him, and the wolves at the border shift closer, not crossing yet, but no longer holding back the way they did before.“They’re coming,” one of our guards says

    I don’t move when that last echo settles, because it doesn’t fade the way the others did, and my hand stays pressed to my stomach while Jax’s grip tightens again and Derek shifts closer, both of them watching the wolves drop one after another like something invisible just pressed them down.“Get up,” Jax snaps, his voice cutting through the stillness.No one moves.The wolf closest to us keeps his head low, shoulders tense, breath uneven like he’s fighting something he can’t push back, and the others stay the same, frozen in that half-kneel that doesn’t feel like choice.“I didn’t tell them to do that,” I say.Derek’s gaze stays sharp, scanning them, calculating. “You didn’t have to.”Jax steps forward slightly, his body angling between me and them again. “This stops now.”Another pulse moves through me, softer, slower, and the wolves react again, not dropping further but holding tighter, like they’re bracing under something.“I’m not pushing anything,” I say, my voice low.Jax looks

  • The Alpha’s Double Game    Chapter 133 — The Pull No One Can Resist

    I don’t feel them leave completely, because something stays behind, not their bodies but that quiet pull that keeps brushing against me, and I stay still while Jax’s fingers tighten around mine again and Derek shifts closer, both of them watching me like they expect me to react first.“You’re still connected,” Derek says, low.I nod once, my hand pressing lightly against my stomach as that steady pulse answers again, calm but aware, like it’s listening beyond what I can hear.Jax leans in closer, his voice rough near my ear. “Cut it off.”“I’m not holding it,” I reply.His jaw tightens, and his free hand slides to my waist, firm, grounding. “Then stop answering it.”Another brush comes, softer but deeper, and my breath catches as my fingers curl slightly into his hand.“I’m not answering,” I whisper.Derek steps in front of me this time, his hand lifting my chin again, forcing my focus onto him. “Then focus here.”His thumb presses lightly against my lip, not soft, not gentle, just en

    I don’t pull back when that connection settles, and the moment stretches between us and them, tight and silent, while Jax’s grip on my hand turns firm enough to ground me and Derek shifts closer, his shoulder brushing mine as he studies every movement in front of us.“Say what you came for,” Derek says, his voice calm but edged.The one in front steps closer, slow and careful, and his eyes never leave mine as he stops just short of the space Jax blocks.“We felt it,” he says, steady. “We followed it.”Jax lets out a low breath, his stance widening slightly as he leans forward just enough to remind them of the line. “You felt enough. Turn back.”The man doesn’t move.His gaze flicks briefly to Jax, then returns to me like nothing else matters. “That’s not why we’re here.”I feel it again, that pull tightening slightly, and my fingers curl into Jax’s as I step forward a fraction, enough to feel both of them shift instantly to match me.“Then why are you here?” I ask.He exhales slowly,

    The night after the council did not feel calm.The fortress was quiet, yet something beneath the silence moved like a slow river under ice.
