The warmth of the kiss still lingered on my lips, but the mood in the room had already turned cold.

Yes, somewhere between the whole activity yesterday, Killian and I shared a kiss.

Killian stepped back quickly, dropping his hands from my waist as if touching me had burned him. The violet glow of the Lunar Heart under his shirt pulsed steadily, matching the strength that had returned to his body.

He stood tall again, the shadows in the room making his sharp features look even harder.

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 72: Another Iron-Gilded Cage

    The air inside the armory felt heavy with betrayal.Killian stood between Tanya and me, his shadow stretching across the stone floor. The tight movement in his jaw showed how hard he was struggling inside. His eyes moved from Tanya’s bleeding hand to the silver dagger still in my grip, the same dagger he had given me to protect myself.“Elara,” he said quietly, his voice rough. “Put the blade down.”“Killian, look at the table!” I shouted, my breath shaking. “The Shard! She’s using it to trap Leo. She wants to trigger his power during the Moon Feast!”Tanya let out a weak groan and leaned against the rack of weapons, clutching her injured hand.“She’s lost her mind, Alpha,” Tanya said softly. “She’s been unstable since the Reclamation. I caught her searching through our defense records. She’s still loyal to Silver Crest. She’s trying to weaken the pack before Silas attacks again.”By then the noise had drawn attention.Heavy footsteps rushed into the armory. Harek and two other High

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 71: The Shadow’s Edge

    The Seer’s warning stayed in my mind like a cold shadow.The Moon Feast was only three days away. On that night, the pack would gather under the violet moonlight to renew their oaths and honor their ancestors. If Tanya used the Shard of the Void during the ceremony, she wouldn’t just reveal that Leo Kael was alive but also his powers.She would force it to awaken in front of the entire pack.Every Elder. Every Beta. Every warrior.They wouldn’t see a child.They would see a threat.I returned to the nursery with my thoughts spinning. Killian was still locked in his study, buried in reports and memories of the woman he trusted for most of his life.The same woman who was preparing to destroy him.If Killian refused to see the truth, then I would have to act without him.Quietly.Carefully.“Rachel,” I whispered.I pulled the nurse aside into the far corner of the nursery. Leo slept peacefully in his cradle, unaware of the danger closing around him.Rachel frowned when she saw my face.

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 70: The Sight of the Crow

    I felt the cold in the fortress inside of my bones.Every time I passed Tanya in the corridors, her silence felt dangerous. She didn’t glare or speak anymore. She simply walked past me with calm, steady steps, as if nothing had changed. She had changed.I could feel it.And deep down, I knew she was waiting for the right moment to drag my son into the open.“Killian, you have to listen to me,” I said that evening.We were in his study. The fire burned low in the hearth. Papers and reports were spread across his desk.But Killian barely looked at them.He looked tired. The hard mask he wore as Alpha seemed worn down by sleepless nights.“She was in the nursery,” I continued. “She saw the light. She already knows something is wrong, and she’s talking to Harek. If she exposes Leo Kael, the pack won’t just turn against me.”My voice tightened.“They’ll turn against you too for hiding the child of a Void King.”Killian didn’t respond right away. He kept writing in the ledger in front of h

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 69: The Venom in the Roots

    Something in the Midnight Moon had changed.The air no longer carried the clean scent of mountain snow. Instead, it felt heavy, like a storm waiting to break. Killian’s public rebuke of Tanya had split the fortress into quiet sides. On one side stood the Alpha and the woman he had claimed. On the other stood the growing group of traditionalists who believed the old ways were being threatened.Tanya didn’t hide after what happened in the Great Hall.She didn’t lock herself away or show weakness.Instead, she moved through the fortress with a calm that was almost unsettling. She spent long hours in the lower barracks and in the old halls where the elders gathered. She no longer acted like the loud, commanding leader everyone knew. Now she spoke softly, carefully, like someone planting seeds.Seeds that would grow later.One afternoon I stood in the gallery above the training grounds and watched her from a distance. She sat beside Harek near the far wall. They weren’t arguing. They were

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 68: The Fractured Shield

    The morning sun spilled across the stone floor in a cold, sharp beam. I woke to the quiet sound of the heavy oak door closing.Killian was already gone.But this time the room didn’t feel empty. The warmth of the night before still lingered in the sheets. His words echoed in my mind—you are my only peace. The memory settled inside my chest like a quiet promise.I dressed slowly in a charcoal gown, taking my time as I tied the ribbons at my waist. Rachel’s words repeated in my head like a steady rhythm.Be his peace.I paused in front of the mirror and brushed my hair back from my face. The woman staring back at me looked different from the one who had arrived at this fortress months ago. I wasn’t just surviving anymore.I was holding the center of a storm.But the moment I stepped into the hallway, that fragile calm disappeared.The fortress felt tense.Warriors stood in small groups, whispering to each other. Servants moved quickly through the corridors, their heads lowered. The sce

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 67: The Quiet After the Storm

    Killian entered the pack grounds close to midnight. The courtyard was a mess of confused soldiers and stabled horses, the air thick with the scent of spent adrenaline and confusion. He didn’t stop to give a debriefing.He didn’t stop to speak to the Elders who were waiting in the Great Hall for news of the "invasion." He moved like a shadow through the corridors, his face a mask of cold, jagged fury.Tanya had taken him on a goose chase. She had used his duty as a leash, and the realization was a bitter, metallic taste in his mouth.He went straight to his chambers to wash the scent of the mountain and the "torture" of Tanya's confession from his skin. The cold water did nothing to soothe the fire in his chest, but it steadied his hands. Minutes later, he pushed open the door to my room.I was sitting at the vanity, my back to the door, slowly combing my hair. The sound of the brush was the only thing keeping my own nerves steady. When the door clicked, I turned toward him and offere

    Dust filled my mouth and nose. It was thick and painful, like I was breathing in something ancient and buried.I bent over coughing, holding the medicine bag tightly against my chest. When I looked back, the tunnel we had come through was gone. Rocks and loose dirt blocked the way to the vault. The

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 18: The Crawler in the Dark

    The silence of the vault was worse than the screaming of the woods.It was a heavy, suffocating kind of quiet. I sat on the stone floor, my back against the iron door. My heart pounded so hard I could feel it in my throat. I held my breath, listening. There it was again, the sound of claws scraping

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 17: The Sovereign’s Spark

    “I warned you,” Caspian said with a cruel smile as his sword cut through the damp air. “You’re nothing but a debt.”I didn’t scream. I couldn’t. I threw myself to the side, my boots sliding on the dark, sticky sap covering the forest floor. His blade sliced through the space where my neck had been.

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 16: The Clash of Kings

    “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 sto
