Killian’s POV

The silence wasn’t peace. It was a scream held underwater, a silence so loud it made my eardrums throb, a false stillness that pulsed with suppressed rage and madness. I was chained again, back in the bowels of Sebastian’s dungeon, the cold stone pressing against my skin like judgment.

But something fundamental had shifted inside me.

The illusion he’d conjured had cracked, and with it, so had some part of me.

That version of Killian—the one who once doubted if he’d ever break free, who questioned if the monster within him was his captor or his liberation—was gone.

In his place stood something sharper, forged in fire and blood.

I wasn’t waiting anymore.

I wasn’t playing his game.

I was becoming the storm he had hoped would stay caged.

The chains bit into my wrists with every breath I took, enchanted metal still humming with Sebastian’s runes, but I didn’t flinch. My skin had become numb to the pain, or maybe the pain had simply become part of my skin.

  • The Alpha's Mute Mate    Chapter 123

    The storm didn’t arrive with thunder. It came quiet, like rot beneath marble, seeping through cracks no one cared to seal. I woke in darkness, not the kind that sleeps, but the kind that breathes. The kind that watches. My room felt foreign, as if the walls had grown closer overnight, as if the air had thickened with secrets. I sat up slowly, every muscle remembering the war we had not yet named.The rebellion had begun—but not in swords.In silence.In choices. In ghosts no one saw but me. The candle I lit sputtered before catching, its flame twitching like it, too, wanted to flee. I didn’t blame it.I moved to the armoire, pulled out the green velvet cloak stitched with the sigil of my mother’s bloodline. Not royal. Older. Wilder. The wolves that ran before there were thrones. My fingers lingered on the embroidery, the serpent with wings, swallowing its tail. I draped it around my shoulders and fastened the clasp like armor. Not for warmth. For warning.I stepped out into the co

    He said nothing more. He didn’t have to. We both knew the storm had no center now. It was coming from all directions. And I stood in its heart, not as a victim—but as the reckoning.Dorian’s silence was its own kind of confirmation.A shared truth passed between us, wordless but heavy. There was no need for further strategy, no list of names or orders to be issued. The machine was already turning. The storm, once contained in whispers and warnings, had broken free. And it wasn’t mine alone anymore. The rebellion was in the blood of farmers and former slaves, in the bruised knuckles of kitchen girls who trained with daggers at midnight, in the eyes of boys who had watched their mothers executed for defiance.It wasn’t a single flame. It was a wildfire. And I stood in its center not as a martyr. Not as a hopeful girl clinging to lost causes. I stood as its blade. Its breath. It's reckoning. Not broken. Not bowed. But ready to tear down the old world with nothing but the fury forged fro

  • The Alpha's Mute Mate    Chapter 121

    The moon hung low, bloated and bruised, casting a sickly pall over the stones of the courtyard as I stepped onto the battlement. My boots struck the ground in silence, but each step felt like a scream.This castle had grown smaller somehow, like it was folding in on itself under the weight of its own secrets. And me? I had become the hinge between rebellion and ruin. My fingers curled into fists at my side, nails biting my palms.I could feel the air change. Thicker. Hungrier. Like something was watching—and for once, it wasn’t Sebastian. It was fate.I didn’t need to speak to be heard anymore. My silence had become scripture. I moved down the corridor like a phantom in flesh, every guard’s eye twitching as I passed. Not from fear of me—yet—but from fear of what I might represent. A mute queen who no longer bowed. A ghost they couldn’t bury. My path led me to the war room, a space once barred to me, a room where maps had danced under Sebastian’s fingers while I was locked in gar

  • The Alpha's Mute Mate    Chapter 120

    The palace breathed in silence, but it no longer smothered me. It watched, wary, as I moved through its corridors like a ghost in a place built to bury the truth. Every wall remembered. Every stone whispered. The blood that had once soaked into the floors had not forgotten the names of the women who’d been silenced.I walked through it all now, not as a prisoner, but as a reckoning wrapped in velvet and bone. My dress swept behind me like a war banner, emerald and defiant, the embroidered thorns glinting under candlelight. I didn’t flinch when the guards bowed too quickly or when the nobles averted their eyes.They feared the quiet now—and I had weaponized it.The scent of old parchment and ash clung to the walls of the library as I entered. It wasn’t just a room of books—it was a vault of truths, locked behind dusty bindings and cobwebbed corners. I moved between shelves that had once comforted me, now wielded like swords. Here, I had read of dynasties toppled, of queens who burne

    The night bled slowly into morning, thick and reluctant, as if the sky itself hesitated to expose what had festered in the dark. The castle remained cloaked in shadows, but I was already awake, seated at the edge of my bed, my fingers still damp with cold sweat and the remnants of a dream I could not remember.My mind was not at ease. It hadn’t been since the moment I stood in that chamber with Sebastian and watched him flinch. That single, involuntary crack in his mask echoed louder than any scream. I had seen it. Felt it. And it had changed everything. But change did not mean peace. Change meant war. War that began in silence—and I, its harbinger, could not afford to tremble.I rose, each step to the mirror deliberate, not out of vanity but defiance. The woman staring back at me was carved from what was left after ruin. My hair tangled with sleep and rebellion framed my face like ivy overtaking an old grave. My eyes, sharp and unrelenting, held no traces of the girl who once blu

  • The Alpha's Mute Mate    Chapter 118

    The sky had not wept, but it bled—a bruise-colored canopy stretched wide above the castle, as if even the heavens bore witness to the unraveling set in motion beneath their watchful eye. Morning light slashed sideways through the frost-rimmed windows, cutting through the gloom like a blade searching for something soft to gut. My chamber, once a prison of silence, now buzzed with a volatile quiet—sharp-edged, pulsing with what had not been said. Sebastian had left.But he hadn’t gone far. No man like him ever did. They lingered like ghosts in the rooms they once claimed, poisoning the air long after their steps had faded.I stood before the mirror—not to admire, not to reflect—but to remember. Every scar he couldn’t see was mapped behind my eyes, every betrayal a stitch across my soul, pulled tight and stitched shut without mercy.My fingers gripped the basin of the washstand until bone strained against skin, and for a moment, I let the cold porcelain anchor me. There was no lux
