Morning light slipped through the heavy curtains like a cold blade. When I finally woke up, my skin still carried the memory of the night before. But the space beside me was empty.

Killian was gone.

For a moment, it felt like rejection, but then I noticed his tunic, neatly folded on a chair.

That told a different story. He hadn’t left because he didn’t care. He had left because he had to.

He was still the Alpha.

Even after everything that had happened, he knew what people would say if he was f

  • 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

    The fortress fell into chaos.Warriors rushed for their armor, steel clanging against stone as they ran through the halls. Orders were shouted, boots pounded on the stairs, and the vanguard prepared for a battle that didn’t exist.I stood by the narrow nursery window, my heart heavy, watching the

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 65: The Phantom War

    The war horns woke me, not the sun.Their low, heavy sound rolled through the nursery, shaking the walls and settling deep in my bones.I shot upright, my heart pounding. Beside me, the bed shifted. Killian was already moving, throwing off the covers, his face set in hard focus. He looked like the

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 64: The Chasm Between Us

    The morning after everything changed between us, I thought the fortress would feel different; smaller, warmer, like the walls had softened.It didn’t.If anything, it felt colder.Tanya made sure of that.Since the Reclamation, she had worked nonstop to keep Killian and me apart. Every hour of his

  • The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy   Chapter 63: The Leak in the Light

    Winning in the training pit earned me respect from the younger warriors, but from the elders, it only brought suspicion. I could feel their eyes on me whenever I walked through the halls, like they were waiting for me to slip.Tanya didn’t confront me anymore. She didn’t glare or argue. Instead, sh
