Semua Bab The Alpha's Mute Mate : Bab 111 - Bab 120

The moon hung low that night, bruised and veiled by clouds, as if the heavens themselves turned their face from what I was becoming. My fingers skimmed the cold stone of the corridor walls as I walked, not out of fear, but to ground myself in something real—something not wrapped in velvet lies or poisoned kisses. Each step echoed, soft and deliberate, but beneath my skin, my blood thundered. I no longer moved like prey. No, I moved like storm clouds creeping across a doomed sky. Quiet, yes—but only because I hadn’t started to roar. Not yet.I passed the guards without a word, without a glance. They stiffened, sensing something unfamiliar in my silence tonight. Maybe it was the way my shoulders squared like armor, or how my gown swayed not like silk but like battle flags in the wind. Or maybe they simply smelled the storm clinging to me, the metallic scent of resolve wrapped around my skin like a blade drawn too long. One tried to speak, his mouth parting as if to ask if I needed ass

Killian’s POVThe silence wasn’t peace. It was a scream held underwater, a silence so loud it made my eardrums throb, a false stillness that pulsed with suppressed rage and madness. I was chained again, back in the bowels of Sebastian’s dungeon, the cold stone pressing against my skin like judgment. But something fundamental had shifted inside me.The illusion he’d conjured had cracked, and with it, so had some part of me.That version of Killian—the one who once doubted if he’d ever break free, who questioned if the monster within him was his captor or his liberation—was gone. In his place stood something sharper, forged in fire and blood. I wasn’t waiting anymore. I wasn’t playing his game.I was becoming the storm he had hoped would stay caged.The chains bit into my wrists with every breath I took, enchanted metal still humming with Sebastian’s runes, but I didn’t flinch. My skin had become numb to the pain, or maybe the pain had simply become part of my skin.There was no sep

Killian’s POVThe silence after her touch disappeared was unbearable—a kind of quiet that clawed at my eardrums, made my thoughts scream louder.There was no storm, no trembling, no fire or rupture of earth—but something had shifted, something profound and irreversible. The bond between us—once tangled with agony, power, and something deeper than love—had felt her presence, then blinked out like a candle smothered in the wind. I remained kneeling, my fists bruised and bloodied from pounding into stone that refused to yield. My chest heaved not from exhaustion but from suffocation. Not of breath—but of meaning. Every inch of this chamber, every rune that shimmered in that cursed silver glow, bore witness to my unraveling. I had survived illusions, torture, voices from the void, and things that weren’t born of this realm—but none of that compared to the hollow scream inside me when I felt her vanish. Not die. No. She was still alive—I would know if her life was extinguished—but sh

The sky had not wept, but it bled—a bruise-colored canopy stretched wide above the castle, as if even the heavens bore witness to the unraveling set in motion beneath their watchful eye. Morning light slashed sideways through the frost-rimmed windows, cutting through the gloom like a blade searching for something soft to gut. My chamber, once a prison of silence, now buzzed with a volatile quiet—sharp-edged, pulsing with what had not been said. Sebastian had left.But he hadn’t gone far. No man like him ever did. They lingered like ghosts in the rooms they once claimed, poisoning the air long after their steps had faded.I stood before the mirror—not to admire, not to reflect—but to remember. Every scar he couldn’t see was mapped behind my eyes, every betrayal a stitch across my soul, pulled tight and stitched shut without mercy.My fingers gripped the basin of the washstand until bone strained against skin, and for a moment, I let the cold porcelain anchor me. There was no lux

The palace breathed in silence, but it no longer smothered me. It watched, wary, as I moved through its corridors like a ghost in a place built to bury the truth. Every wall remembered. Every stone whispered. The blood that had once soaked into the floors had not forgotten the names of the women who’d been silenced.I walked through it all now, not as a prisoner, but as a reckoning wrapped in velvet and bone. My dress swept behind me like a war banner, emerald and defiant, the embroidered thorns glinting under candlelight. I didn’t flinch when the guards bowed too quickly or when the nobles averted their eyes.They feared the quiet now—and I had weaponized it.The scent of old parchment and ash clung to the walls of the library as I entered. It wasn’t just a room of books—it was a vault of truths, locked behind dusty bindings and cobwebbed corners. I moved between shelves that had once comforted me, now wielded like swords. Here, I had read of dynasties toppled, of queens who burne
