[KAEL]

"Kneel."

The word reverberated louder inside my skull than it had crossing the chamber.

Time fractured into calculation and instinct warring for control. Alphas didn't kneel. Ever. That wasn't pride—it was structure. The moment an Alpha knelt to anyone outside pack bonds, the hierarchy that kept wolves alive destabilized.

Lachlan was in Hunter's hands.

My son's breath outweighed every rule I'd ever been taught.

I cataloged automatically—the distance to the platform, Hunter's stance, his

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 175: Choosing Joy

    [RHIANNON] The kitchen was chaos in the best possible way. Cora had indeed made breakfast—enough food to feed twice our current number. Lena and Maris were arguing loudly about proper seasoning while Safi rolled her eyes and plated everything anyway. The moment we entered with Lachlan, all activity stopped. Then resumed with renewed energy directed entirely at us. "Sit. Both of you. Now." Cora pointed at the chairs with the authority of someone who'd been running this kitchen longer than I'd been alive. I sat without argument. Kael did the same, settling Lachlan on his lap. Food appeared immediately—eggs, bread, fruit, and meat. More than we could eat. "You need to rebuild your strength," Lena declared, setting down another plate. "Both of you look half-dead," Maris added bluntly. Cora smacked her arm. "What? They do!" I laughed despite myself. This was normal. This was home. Kael ate methodically while keeping one hand on Lachlan, who was more interested in stealing food

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 174: Peace Reclaimed

    [RHIANNON]The manor had gone quiet.Healers had come and gone, checking wounds and distributing salves. Patrols had doubled outside. Doors had been reinforced with additional guards posted at every entrance. Orders had been issued, acknowledged, and executed.Now, for the first time since Lachlan was taken—There was stillness.I lay in bed wrapped around Kael; Lachlan nestled between us in the cocoon of blankets and safety we'd created. My arm curved protectively over our son's small body. Kael's hand rested at my waist, solid and grounding.Lachlan's breathing was soft. Even. Safe.I inhaled slowly.And for the first time in days, my lungs didn't burn with fear.Kael's cedar-and-storm scent anchored me more effectively than any words could. My own midnight rain had softened, no longer sharp and electric with barely contained power.Just steady.Peace didn't descend like a blessing from above.It arrived like something fought for. Earned. Scarred into existence through blood and sac

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 173: Homecoming

    [KAEL]The manor came into full view as we crossed into Crescent Moon territory properly—stone walls unmarred, banners intact despite everything that had happened beyond our borders.Word spread before we reached the gates.The first howl rose from the watchtower. Long, rising, trembling with relief.Then another.Then dozens.Not a battle cry. A homecoming.Warriors at the front were met with tears, clasped hands, and desperate embraces. Parents rushed forward for children thought lost. Mates collided mid-step, shoulders shaking with sobs they'd been holding back for days.I walked to the center of it all.Rhiannon was beside me, holding Lachlan against her chest as if the world might attempt to steal him again if she loosened her grip even slightly. She hadn't let him go since the ruins. Hadn't faltered once during the entire journey home.She looked pale. Exhausted. Blood dried in her hair and stained her torn clothing.Her spine remained straight.The pack parted for us instinctiv

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 172: Relief Earned

    [EMRYS]I watched Kael turn away from Hunter's body without looking back.Simple. Final. Absolute.My Alpha gathered his mate and child, blood-streaked and exhausted but whole. I allowed myself one breath.Not victory.Assessment.Hunter's corpse lay where it fell, throat torn, blood spreading into fractured stone in dark pools that reflected dying firelight. The unstable rune device had gone dark. No pulse. No residual magical surge humming against my senses.Still.I stepped forward and crushed the device beneath my boot.Mechanisms cracked. Crystal shattered into harmless fragments.No risks. Not tonight. Not ever again with this particular threat.Around me, Crescent Moon warriors moved with practiced efficiency through the settling dust.Dust drifted like fog between broken pillars. The ruins groaned occasionally as fractured stone settled.The clearing felt quiet in a way that seemed earned rather than given.But my mind was already elsewhere.Because during the final clash with

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 171: Finality

    [KAEL]The blade descended.Perfect angle. Clean trajectory.I registered every detail with brutal clarity—the relic sigils etched into black steel, Hunter's cold satisfaction, and the precise geometry that would separate my head from my shoulders.My thigh screamed. Balance compromised. No leverage to dodge.'Move.'Saen snarled the command, but my body wasn't listening fast enough.Then silver exploded across my vision.Rhiannon slammed into me from the side, her body twisting between mine and the descending blade with absolute precision born from instinct rather than calculation.The sound that followed wasn't a scream.Just a sharp inhale forced through gritted teeth as the relic blade sank deep into her shoulder.Black steel hummed. Sigils flared.She should have collapsed. The weapon was designed to disrupt Alpha force, to weaken, to break.Instead—Her power ignited.Silver light erupted from the wound itself, crackling outward in arcs that made the air taste like lightning and

  • The Alpha's Plump Luna   Chapter 170: Maternal Wrath

    [RHIANNON]Lachlan's cry threaded through the distance beyond that sealed passage. Every maternal instinct I possessed screamed to tear through stone with bare hands if necessary.I pressed both hands flat against the cracked floor, silver light flickering across my veins. Not wild now. Focused. Drawing inward and sharpening into something that felt less like healing and more like a weapon.Kael turned toward me. His hands found mine and pulled me to my feet.Our eyes met—both of us vibrating with the specific frequency of parents who'd just watched their child bleed."We find another way through," he said. Not a suggestion. A statement.I didn't waste breath answering. Just moved.We tracked back through the collapsing chamber, following the scent of iron and old magic to where a secondary passage branched off the main corridor. Hunter had built contingencies—plural. That meant multiple exits.Kael paused to listen. I closed my eyes and felt instead.The bond with Lachlan flickered f
