Semua Bab The Alpha's Quiet Mate : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Kieran's POV My eyes were locked on the phone on the kitchen island, the screen was showing Tobias’ name. He wasn’t supposed to call me. Not unless it was bad, like really bad, and he knew that, so why was he calling me today, the same day I just left?Did Magnus come?I picked it up slowly. Fenrir had already started pacing in my head, sensing danger.“Who is it?” Elara asked.I looked up at her, “It’s Tobias. I told him not to call me unless it was very serious.”Her face stiffened, “Answer.”I didn’t want to. Every instinct in me was already screaming, and I was already scared about what news he would relay. Fenrir also pacing nonstop in my head didn’t help matters. I pressed the phone to my ear, and before I could say a word, Tobias’ voice came through so sharply.“Why didn’t you answer your phone?” he snapped. The sharpness in his tone immediately made my pulse spike. Tobias never lost composure unless things were about to burn, but before I could answer, his voice came through

Kieran's POV“Saffron is with my mother.”My brain short-circuited. I must be dreaming at this point because there's no way, in reality, he just said what I think he said. Everything was happening too fast, and I felt like I was losing touch with reality. My mind kept looping that sentence, trying to make sense of it: Saffron is with my mother. That couldn’t be real.I don't know how long I stood there, frozen, until Tobias shook my shoulders.“Kieran. Kieran, snap out of it,” he said under his breath, trying to keep his voice low.My lips parted before the words even fully formed in my mind. “What… what do you mean?” I asked after I finally found my voice. “Saffron? My sister? With your mom?” My voice rose with each question until I was almost shouting.“Shhhh,” Tobias hissed, quickly covering my mouth. “We can't trust anyone at this moment. Not with Lilith in the pack.”That name made my blood boil. I swatted his hand away and stepped back, trying to rein in the anger rising in my c

Kieran's POV “I kept her in my mum's place,” Tobias said as we left the packhouse.The journey down there suddenly felt so long. My fingers clenched into trembling fists at my sides, heart hammering so loud I was sure Tobias could hear it. Every step toward the house felt like walking through quicksand. Will she forgive me? Will she allow me to hug her again? What if she didn’t want to see me? What if she hated me?“She… she doesn’t know I’m coming, does she?" I asked, trying to sound casual, but it came out hoarse.“No,” Tobias said quietly. “I didn't think I was going to tell you today or that you'd want to see her tonight.”I nodded, though I wasn’t sure. My hands were trembling.When we reached the house, Tobias paused and looked at me, “You ready?”“No,” I said honestly, then took a deep breath.We got to the doorstep, and Tobias knocked. Mrs. Monroe opened it, and her eyes instantly welled up when she saw me. Her lips parted like she had something to say but was debating if it

Elara's POVThe scent of baked honey bread wrapped around the kitchen, warm and sweet. Mira hummed softly as she kneaded dough on the counter, while Astrid leaned against the fridge with her mug, sipping coffee.“You know,” Astrid said, waggling her brows as she glanced over at me, “if you had a little more time during the honeymoon, you’d probably be glowing even brighter. Mira, look at her skin. She’s literally radiating.”I smiled shyly, my hands occupied chopping avocado for the breakfast platters. It was safer to focus on the fruit.Mira let out a hearty laugh. “One more day, and I swear we’d have a mini-Kieran or mini-Elara crawling around this kitchen.”My entire face flushed red, and I tried to cover it with my wrist, but it was no use. I couldn't stop blushing.“Ouh, look at her!” Mira teased, flour dusting her nose as she turned toward Astrid. “Luna is blushing harder than we have ever seen. Alpha Kieran is doing well.”Astrid cackled, nearly choking on her coffee as she sli

Elara's POV The entire pack house had been humming with life for the past two days. People ran in and out of the pack house, the newly shifted wolves happily discussing what their special abilities would be. It made me remember the Mooncrest Pack, where I wasn't allowed to participate in the ceremony. I started wondering what my special abilities would have been.“Now you've gotten a chance, my instinct is telling me you're going to have a siren-like voice as your special abilities,” Nyx reasoned.“Siren-like voice when I can't even talk, nice one, Nyx.” I said, rolling my eyes.“Hear me out, imagine how many aura points you'd gain,” she continued.More people flooded into the house. It reminded me of the full moon night, the chaos before the shift, only this time the energy was electric with anticipation, not fear.“I really hope I get my voice back,” I wished.Everyone was preparing for the Sacred Moon Festival.Kieran had said this year’s ceremony would be different—more tradition
