Lia BeaHi readers. Thanks for reading this chapter. Ethan's betrayal is heartbreaking, but the real shocker is Kael's secret. Now we know Kael is only at the school to find a hidden key for a war—and that key happens to be Elara herself. But with Elara completely done trying to get his attention, do you think these two will ever be together now that he's looking for her? Let me know your theories in the comments section below, and please remember to leave a like or add the book to your library if you are enjoying the story.

The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Age of Shadows
The atmosphere at Blackhood High had shifted from mockery to a strange, heavy tension.While the "Photoshop Scandal" was still the main topic of conversation in the locker rooms, a new, more unsettling rumor began to circulate—one that didn't involve Seraphina’s fake kisses.It started in the library. A group of seniors had been digging through old digital archives of regional sports and academic records, trying to find a trace of Kael’s past."He’s not a junior," whispered a girl at the table next to mine. "My cousin goes to a school several districts over. She said a guy who looked exactly like him was enrolled there four years ago. He was a junior then, too.""That’s impossible," another replied. "That would make him twenty or twenty-one. Why would he be here?""Homeschooling," a third voice joined in. "The rumor is his father moved him every time people started noticing he was too strong. They say he’s only here because his family moves around for some secret business."I ke
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Digital Venom
The following morning, Blackhood High felt like it was vibrating with a entirely different kind of energy. It wasn’t the quiet, respectful fear that usually followed Kael’s footsteps. It was a feverish, mocking excitement.I walked through the front doors, my bag feeling like it was filled with lead. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ethan’s face from the night before—the raw, twisted jealousy that had turned my brother into a complete stranger.I just wanted to get to my locker, bury my head in my books, and disappear. But as I turned the corner into the main hallway, I froze."Oh look, it’s the heartbroken little lamb," Tinsley chirped, pointing at a nearby locker.My heart plummeted. Taped to nearly every locker surface were glossy, high-quality printouts. They weren't just drawings or rumors. They were photos.In the pictures, Seraphina was draped over Kael in the back of a darkened car. Her eyes were closed, her lips pressed firmly against his. Another showed them in a diml
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Obsidian Fortress
The Obsidian Society was not just an organization; it was a city of iron.Hidden deep within a mountain range, the barracks stretched for miles, housing thousands of soldiers who had been trained from birth for one purpose: to hunt the wolves.The walls were lined with propaganda—images of monstrous beasts tearing through human villages. The recruits were brainwashed to believe that wolves were a virus hiding in human skin, waiting for the right moment to extinguish humanity.Kael walked through the central courtyard, his footsteps echoing against the cold stone. He had been summoned back for a "progress report."Every soldier he passed snapped to attention. They knew exactly who he was—the Commander’s son. The perfect soldier.He reached the heavy oak doors of the inner sanctum. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of gun oil and old parchment."You're late, Commander," a voice boomed.Darius sat behind a massive desk, his eyes glowing with an unnatural, sharp light.He w
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Scent of the King
The old bridge on the edge of the Blackhood district was a skeleton of rusted iron, forgotten by a city that moved too fast to look back.It was the only place I felt like I could breathe without the weight of my brother’s hatred or the school’s whispers crushing my lungs.I clutched my bag, my heart doing a frantic dance against my ribs. I kept thinking about Kael’s note.I’ll walk you home. After months of being treated like a ghost, the sudden gravity of his attention was almost too much to carry."You're late."I spun around in surprise. Kael didn't walk out of the shadows; he was just suddenly there, leaning casually against a rusted pillar.He looked at me, his silver eyes traveling over my face, lingering on the faint bruise near my temple where I’d fallen during my "wild" episode in the woods."I didn't think you’d actually show up," I admitted, my voice barely a whisper."I don't make promises I don't intend to keep," he said.He stepped toward me, and for the first
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter Sharp Words
The hallway of Blackhood High felt like a gauntlet.My body felt like a bruised instrument, every nerve ending raw from the partial shift in the woods. But the physical pain was nothing compared to the silence that greeted me at home and followed me to school.Ethan wasn't just avoiding me anymore; he was campaigning against my existence.I was at my locker, trying to rub a smudge of dirt off my sleeve, when I heard his voice. He was standing near the trophy case with Leo and a few other basketball players.Usually, Ethan was the life of the party, but today his face was twisted with a cold, sharp arrogance."I’m telling you, she’s a jinx," Ethan said, his voice loud enough to carry across the linoleum. "My mom lost her lead position at the firm yesterday. Why? Because she spent the last ten years pouring money into 'Elara’s health' and 'Elara’s specialists.' All for a kid who isn't even a Sterling.""Wait, she's really a foundling?" Leo asked, his voice sounding deeper, rougher
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The First Shift
The forest behind Blackhood High had always felt like a sanctuary, but today, it felt like a trap.After Ethan’s words last night—calling me a "stray" and a "found child"—the house had become completely unbreathable. Every floorboard I stepped on felt like I was trespassing in a home that wasn't mine.I had skipped the second period. My skin was too tight, a fever burning under my ribs that no medicine could touch.I needed to be away from the suffocating scents of the school—the floor wax, the cheap perfume, the heavy smell of human anxiety.I stumbled deeper into the thicket, my breath coming in ragged gasps."Stop it," I whispered to myself, clutching my stomach. "Just stop."But the "Storm" inside me wasn't listening. It felt like my bones were being violently unsnapped and rearranged.I collapsed onto the damp earth, my fingers digging deep into the soil. The suppression mark on my shoulder wasn't just hot; it was glowing a fierce, pulsating silver through the fabric of my
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Wall of Ice
The morning after the hallway "trial" felt like walking through a dream.Seraphina and Leo were nowhere to be seen, likely scrubbing lockers under Mr. Grimmer’s watchful eye. But for me, the victory felt hollow.My arm still buzzed where Kael’s shoulder had brushed mine, the spark of electricity
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Viper’s Trap
I woke up the next morning with a heavy feeling in my chest that had nothing to do with the rainy weather.After the tension at dinner the other night, the house felt cold. I avoided Ethan in the hallway and slipped out early, hoping a head start on my community service would mean I wouldn't have
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Invisible Girl
The next morning, the sun hadn’t even fully cleared the horizon when I was already knee-deep in the "dirty work."My community service today wasn't just equipment hauling; Mr. Grimmer had decided the school’s north drainage ditch was "unbecoming of a house of learning.""Miserable," I muttered, wi
The Alpha's Forsaken Daughter The Price of Pride
The cafeteria was a colosseum.Usually, the noise level was a deafening roar of clattering plastic trays and overlapping teenage gossip. Today, however, it was an expectant, heavy hum. Every single table was turned toward the center aisle."He’s not going to do it," Maya whispered. Her eyes were w
