All Chapters of ALPHA KAEL'S BREEDER : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Aria POVHer smile was too sharp, too alive.Like a wolf that had just tasted blood.Vanessa.I had told myself a hundred times that if I ever saw her again, I’d spit in her face, maybe even claw that smug grin right off her lips. But standing there in the corridor, half-naked and trembling, I wasn’t the girl I wanted to be. I was raw and stripped bare—her perfect prey.My fingers clenched the sheet tighter, nails digging into the fabric. “You shouldn’t be here.”Her laugh was low, silk dragged across broken glass. “And yet… here I am. Isn’t that funny?”The guards at the end of the hall didn’t move. Their eyes flicked to us, then away again, like they’d been told to not see her. My stomach turned. Of course. Kael. He let her out, and worse, his men were complicit.Vanessa stepped closer, her boots striking the stone like a countdown to something I wasn’t ready for. Her gaze swept me up and down, lingering on the sheet like it was the funniest thing she’d ever seen. “Oh, darling. Did

Chapter 54Kael POVThe war room was empty but her voice still lingered.I had let her because I knew if I followed her now I would say things I could not take back. I would tear apart every wall I had built and I would hand her a truth that could damn both of us.But the silence pressed on me like a weight. Her anger. Her pain. The look in her eyes when she told me she was done bleeding for me.I had bled for her. She just did not see it.---The knock on the door was sharp.“Enter.”Demian stepped in. His cloak still carried the cold from outside. His eyes cut to me and for a moment we stood in silence like enemies who both knew the other’s weakness.“You let Vanessa out.”I clenched my jaw. “It was necessary.”He laughed once without humor. “Necessary. That’s what you call it. She was in tears Kael. Your silence did more damage than any blade.”My fists tightened on the edge of the table. “You think I don’t know that”“Then why do it” Demian demanded. He moved closer, his voice har

Chapter 56Elena POVI swear I almost choked on my own breath when Kael opened his mouth like that. Venessa too. Her face went pale like she had seen a ghost. She had been standing so proud all evening, shoulders back, chin high, looking like she had already won the crown. But Kael shattered that illusion in one second flat.I leaned back on the couch and crossed my arms, biting the inside of my cheek so I wouldn’t laugh too loud. Because if I laughed, Venessa would claw my face off.“You cant be serious Kael,” Venessa finally said, her voice cracking at the end like a broken glass. “You said you needed someone strong by your side someone who can rule with you someone who understands your world. You said that to me.”Kael didn’t flinch. He just stared at her with that cold look he uses when he wants to remind people he is the one in control. His voice was flat when he spoke. “I said I needed someone loyal someone who wouldn’t use me for a throne. That’s not you.”I covered my mouth be

Kael POVThe road rolled under the tires in a steady rhythm. Daniel was still shaking his head like he couldn’t decide if he was amused or horrified by me, probably both. But I wasn’t listening anymore. My mind was already with Aria. The image of her face, the fire in her eyes, the way her voice could cut through my walls without even trying,it drowned out everything else.We pulled into town, the shops still glowing even though night had wrapped itself over the sky. The streets smelled faintly of smoke, metal, and rain. Daniel stuffed his hands in his pockets, trailing me as I walked past jewelry stores, boutiques, anything that glittered. None of it felt right.“You’re really overthinking this,” Daniel muttered. “You could grab a necklace, throw it in a velvet box, and she’d still melt. She’s your mate, not some court lady trying to measure the size of your wallet.”I ignored him, scanning the displays until my eyes landed on a small leather shop tucked into a corner, nearly hidden

Chapter 60Aria POVSleep was a joke tonight. No matter how many times I rolled from one side of the bed to the other, the heaviness in my chest wouldn’t lift. Kael’s warmth lingered on the sheets where he’d sat earlier, his scent still clinging like stubborn smoke. It should have calmed me. It didn’t.My wolf prowled restlessly under my skin, uneasy in a way I couldn’t put into words. Every shift of the curtains against the window made me twitch. Every creak of the old wood floors beneath the house settled into my bones like a warning.I huffed and threw the blanket aside. Lying here pretending to rest wasn’t going to help. My throat felt dry anyway, so maybe water would do me good. I stood, barefoot, stretching out the stiffness from lying too long, and padded toward the kitchen.Halfway down the hall, it hit.It was something primal. My wolf lurched inside me like someone had just yanked her spine. My stomach clenched hard, twisting, tearing. My knees buckled beneath me and I slapp
