“Move away from her, Killian.”

Silas’s voice was more than a sound; it was a heavy vibration that shook the ground. It was the command of an Alpha that made the very dirt obey.

He stood at the edge of the woods, his silver armor catching the weak, gray light. His golden eyes were locked onto my stomach, watching the small bump beneath my heavy cloak.

Killian didn't budge. He stood like a wall made of dark steel and scarred muscle. The heat coming off his body was the only thing stopping me from

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 42: The Funeral of the Living

    The journey from the Root to the high tower happened so quickly that it felt like a dream.After the birth, the cave had started to close. Crystals grew across the entrance like ice, sealing the chamber little by little. The mountain was healing itself.Killian did not waste a single second.He lifted me into his arms and carried me through a narrow tunnel hidden behind the crystal walls. It was a secret path known only to the Alphas of the Midnight Moon. The tunnel twisted deep through the heart of the mountain.Behind us, the High Council soldiers were still trying to break through the main entrance of the Root.They had no idea we were already gone.Killian moved quickly through the darkness. His breathing was heavy.By the time we reached the tower, the first light of sunrise was touching the mountain peaks.Then came the darkest part of the plan.When Killian left me, he signaled Gideon, one of his most trusted guards.Gideon stepped forward slowly and took Leo Kael from my arm

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 41: The Living Ghost

    If this war has taught me anything, it is :Love shows us who we hope to become.But war reveals the monster, hidden beneath our skin.Leo KaelMy baby.Leo Kael lay perfectly still in my arms.For the first time since the birth, the room was quiet. The terrible silver light that had filled the cave before was gone now. It had withdrawn deep inside his tiny body, hidden where no one could see it.Only a short time ago, that same light had stolen the Executioner’s power and silenced the High Council.Now the child who had shaken the world slept peacefully against my chest.His breathing was soft. Warm.He looked so small.So ordinary.If I closed my eyes, I could pretend he was just a baby. Not a prophecy. Not a danger. Not the child who could unmake kings.But the silence in the room was a lie.Outside the heavy wooden doors, the world was screaming for his blood.Killian stood by the tall window across the room.His broad shoulders were stiff as he stared down into the courtyard belo

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 40: The Unmaking of the World

    The Root did not welcome us; it consumed us.The cave screamed as the violet ley lines of the mountain were ripped from their ancient paths, spiraling toward my body like a funnel of liquid stars. I was no longer a woman. I was a storm.Every cell in my body felt as though it were being pulled through a needle's eye.“Killian!” I shrieked, my fingers digging into the glowing crystal floor.The first true contraction was not a pain; it was an earthquake. As the baby, the Void, pushed against the boundaries of my soul, the mountain’s ceiling began to separate. Large rocks the size of houses crashed into the abyss below, and the air turned into a haze of white dust and violet light.“Hold the line!” Killian’s roar was the only thing keeping me anchored to the earth.He stood at the entrance of the Root, his black sword drawn. Beside him, Tanya was a blur of silver steel, her twin blades fighting the arrows of the High Council’s guards who had begun to pour down the arrow shaft. But it w

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 39: The Root of the Storm

    The air underground was heavy and hard to breathe in.A strange violet energy leaked from cracks in the walls, filling the tunnels with a faint glow.Every few minutes the mountain groaned, it was like stone grinding against stone.Killian walked ahead of me through the narrow hallway. The light from the torches stretched his shadow across the walls.The Lunar Heart glowed clearly beneath his shirt now, pulsing faster and faster.He wasn’t just the Alpha anymore.He looked like the center of a storm that was about to break.We stopped in front of the iron doors of the lowest barracks. Killian kicked the door hard, and the lock broke instantly.Inside, Tanya sat quietly on the edge of her cot with her head lowered.She didn’t move when the door slammed open.She looked empty, like someone who had lost everything.“Stand up, Commander,” Killian said.His voice echoed through the room.Tanya slowly lifted her head. Her eyes widened when she saw the violet veins glowing along Killian’s ne

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 38: The Tremor of the Vault

    The mountain was no longer calm and silent.It was alive , restless and groaning beneath the fortress.In the days after the battle at the bridge, the comfort of the fortress slowly began to disappear. At first, the changes were small. Thin cracks appeared in the white stone floors. The water in the basins slowly turned cloudy with a faint violet color. And a low vibration hummed through the ground, shaking the soles of my boots.The Lunar Heart was still feeding the baby.But the hunger inside him was growing stronger.My child was no longer feeding slowly.He was draining the mountain itself.I walked through the lower halls, resting my hand on my stomach. The silver glow beneath my skin had become constant now, lighting the dark hallway around me.Every time the mountain trembled, the baby kicked hard inside me. The movements no longer felt like those of a normal child.They felt powerful, like the earth itself was beating through him.“He’s taking too much, isn’t he?”I stopped.

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 37: The Ghost of the Bridge

    The Old Bridge stretched across a deep gorge like a long gray spine. It was the only path connecting the Midnight Moon territory to the lands where Silas ruled.Thick fog covered the bridge. I could barely see the warriors standing along the walls.But I could feel something had changed.Ever since I placed the Lunar Heart against Killian’s chest, the air in the fortress felt different. It was heavy with energy, almost like electricity. A faint violet power filled the air, making the hairs on my arms stand up.Killian stood alone in the middle of the bridge.He wore no cloak. His sword was still sheathed. His arms were crossed over his chest, and the faint purple glow of the crystal could be seen through his tunic.On the other side of the bridge, more than a hundred Silver Crest wolves waited in the fog.Their golden eyes shone like small fires in the mist.Silas stepped forward.He stared at Killian and breathed in deeply, as if testing the air.“I heard you were dying, Butcher,” S
