The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 58: The Council
KAEL"Mohan, summon the council to a meeting. They need to be informed before I pour every ounce of my rage directly onto Draven Cole's doorstep."My voice cracked across the study like a whip, and Mohan's hands came up fast, urgent, cutting through the air before I'd even finished the sentence.Alpha, that would be a third strike against you if Draven turns out not to be the man behind this. You have no confirmation. Only a voice on a phone claiming to speak for him."There is a thin line between my rage and outright destruction, Mohan, and you know exactly how easily I can cross it tonight." I paced the length of my desk, every muscle in my body wound tight enough to snap. "Who else in these twelve territories knew about the corridor negotiations with the foreign investors? Who else stood to lose the exact amount Draven lost when I refused his cut? Who else was humiliated in front of the entire council within the same week his own men attacked my home?"You're not wrong. Mohan's sig

KAELWe lost them.The van vanished into a warren of unmarked service roads I hadn't mapped in over a decade, my Betas fanning out in every direction until the trail simply dissolved into nothing, no scent, no tire tracks, no scrap of evidence beyond the echo of an engine already too far gone to chase. I stood at the edge of that forest for a long moment, fists clenched at my sides, forcing down the roar building in my chest, before finally giving the order to fall back.We returned to a manor still humming with music and laughter, guests who had no idea their host's mother had just been dragged screaming into the night, and the sight of it, champagne flutes and easy conversation continuing as though the world hadn't just cracked open, turned my stomach in a way the chase itself hadn't managed."Cut the music." I didn't wait for a response before crossing to the sound system myself and killing it at the source, the sudden silence in the room, silence everyone else could actually hear,
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 56: Under Fire
SERAPHINEThe explosion hit before the screaming had even finished travelling across the courtyard, a deep, concussive boom that shattered the west wing windows of the banquet hall and sent a plume of orange fire climbing into the black sky. Guests scattered in every direction, gowns and tuxedos abandoned mid-stride, security barking orders that dissolved instantly into chaos.Kael was already moving before the sound had finished rolling across the grounds, his whole body shifting into something harder, faster, the Alpha rather than the man, and I ran after him without a second thought, my heels tearing off my feet somewhere in the first few strides."Isolde's car!" A guard's voice cut through the pandemonium, breathless, wild-eyed. "It never made it past the north gate, Alpha! Her driver's been found, throat torn out, but there's no sign of her anywhere!""Search radius, now!" Kael's voice cracked out with an authority that sent every Beta and Omega within earshot snapping into motio

SERAPHINE"You have to send her away. She is going to be trouble."I watched Isolde's hands cut sharp through the air toward Kael in the far corner of the courtyard, her whole frame still rigid with the fury I'd left her carrying. I couldn't hear the rest of it, whatever hissed argument followed, but I didn't need to. I could read enough in the tight set of her shoulders, the way she jabbed one finger toward me across the distance without ever once looking my way directly, as though even glancing at me now cost her something she refused to spend.It gave me a quiet, unshakable satisfaction, watching her unravel like that. After twenty years of being made to feel smaller than the dust under everyone's heels, I found I had no appetite left for guilt over enjoying it.Kael rubbed his temple, the particular gesture I'd learned meant frustration barely held in check, and after a few more clipped exchanges, Isolde turned on her heel and swept toward her car, her driver scrambling to open th
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 54: The Determining Factor
SERAPHINEThe moment we stepped outside, the world exploded into light and noise, cameras flashing in rapid, blinding succession as guests filtered toward their waiting cars along the red carpet. A reporter called Kael's name, and before I could think to step back, he pulled me forward into the frame with him, his hand finding the small of my back with the same practiced ease he used for everything he did in public.I smiled for the cameras. I let the flashes catch the crimson of my gown and the curve of my composed, deliberate expression. But in the brief seconds between shots, I caught the real question sitting naked in his eyes, desperate, searching, entirely at odds with the effortless calm he wore for the crowd."Oh my God, they look so perfect together!" a voice called out from somewhere in the crowd, and I couldn't help the small, satisfied smile that pulled at my mouth.I caught Mohan's stare from the edge of the carpet, something tight and unreadable pulling at his expression
The Deaf Alpha’s Unexpected Mate CHAPTER 53: A Different Kind of Fire
SERAPHINEI watched the look cross his face, and it wasn't simply surprise. It was longing, raw and unguarded, the particular look of a man staring at something he'd convinced himself he'd lost for good, priceless and impossible and standing right in front of him regardless. I watched the shape his mouth made around my name, the stutter catching halfway through the second syllable, and that alone told me everything I needed to know about how badly the silence had worn on him this past week.Draven stood frozen beside him, and the satisfaction of watching that particular smugness drain clean off his face was better than anything Ree's needle and thread could have stitched onto me tonight."So." I turned toward him slowly, deliberately, letting the silk of my gown pool and shift with every unhurried step. "You were saying?""Seraphine." He recovered fast, plastering on a smile that didn't come close to reaching his eyes, ignoring the woman still standing at his elbow entirely. "You loo
