Semua Bab The Forbidden Heiress : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Alana had anticipated Kayden’s return. Upon hearing he had rushed to a deadly battlefield, she wanted nothing more than to know her mate was okay. But instead of Kayden, she was only met by Zaide and Zayne. Concern now waged war inside her chest. “Zaide, Zayne… where’s Kayden?” she asked, eyes darting between the two men. “He’ll be back soon,” Zaide said with a tired voice. “He just needed some time alone. We’re heading upstairs to get some rest.” She nodded slowly, watching them pass. A heavy silence fell over her. Alana felt a pang of sadness for Kayden. She didn’t know much about battlefields or politics, but she did understand the weight of loss. He had lost good men—his soldiers. She came up with a plan. The only thing that might cheer him up was a warm, comforting meal. “Are you sure that’s what he needs?” Trixx, her wolf, growled in her mind, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. “Must I remind you you’re his wife? Completely his? There are… other ways to relieve stress,

Kayden didn’t take long to return. He looked more exhausted than ever, shoulders heavy with a kind of weight Alana couldn’t quite place. As soon as she saw him walk through the door, she moved toward him without hesitation, reaching for his hand and walking him back inside with quiet concern in her eyes.She didn’t say much at first just motioned for him to sit.“ I made something for you,” she finally said, voice soft. “It’s the least I could do… after everything that’s going on.”Kayden sat at the edge of the bed, his eyes distant and expression unreadable. He looked at the plate, then at her, a faint smile brushing his lips.“That’s really sweet of you, thank you… for being thoughtful,” he said quietly. But his eyes told another story, he was bothered. Deeply.“Kayden, is everything all right?” she asked, voice dipping into a sweeter tone.He shook his head slowly, like the truth had been weighing on him all day.“Actually… no my love.” He sighed, then glanced at her. “ An alpha

Braxton stood there for a moment longer, clearly enjoying the chaos he had just stirred. It was like he had waited for this moment his entire life. Then, slowly, he pushed his chair back with a loud scrape and rose to his feet, his eyes never leaving Kayden’s. “Guess that’s a ‘no’ on the apology,” he said with a smirk, straightening his blazer like he had all the time in the world. “Too bad. I was actually looking forward to this alliance.” He looked around the room like he owned the place, not even a single trace of fear on his face. “Tell Alana I said hello,” he added with a cruel grin. “Or better yet… don’t. Let her stay sweet and innocent, because we’ll start to have wet dreams once she thinks of me.” That was the final straw it took to push Kayden to the limit. He lunged again, growling even louder than before, his eyes glowing dangerously bright, but Zaide and Zayne still held onto him. He’s Muscles we’re strained, veins bulging at his neck, Kayden looked like he wa

Braxton leaned back in his chair, legs kicked up, a glass of whiskey in hand, and the kind of smug smile that made people want to punch him.The meeting had been pure chaos. Just the way he liked it. He swirled the glass slowly, letting the silence wrap around him like victory.Outside his office, the sound of soft music started to play. He had ordered a small celebration. Nothing big. Just enough for his subordinates to know that he still ran the show. Then the door creaked open behind him and a familiar scent engulfed him. “Hope you saved a drink for me,” came a low, sultry, seductive voice Braxton didn’t even turn, “ Silvia.” She walked in like she owned the place—hips swaying side to side, red dress hugging her body like it was painted on, lips stained the color of blood and her black stiletto heels clicked with confidence. “I can see your little visit you paid Kayden was a success,” she said, coming to stand behind him, her hands sliding slowly down his chest from behind.

Braxton's grip tightened on Alana's wrist, his expression dark and filled with something far more dangerous than charm. His hand began to move toward her waist, and Alana's heart was racing as she struggled to break free but he was just too big. She tried to pull away, but his hold was like a vice.“ Let me out , I can take him down. ” Trixx growled. Just as she thought she was going to be trapped, the door slammed open with a force that shook the frame. "Let her go!" Melany stood there, chest heaving, eyes blazing. Her presence filled the room with fury. Braxton turned, surprised, as Melany marched forward and shoved him back with both hands. He stumbled, just slightly, but enough for Alana to jerk away and rush to Melany's side. "Don't touch her," Melany said through clenched teeth. "Ever again." Braxton ran a hand through his hair, his face unreadable. "This doesn't concern you." “ It does now," Melany snapped. "Let's go,Luna." Alana didn't need to be told twice. The two women
