All Chapters of ALPHA KAEL'S BREEDER : Chapter 71 - Chapter 76

Aria povThe sound hit me before the sunlight did. Loud voices, sharp cries, chairs scraping against the floor downstairs. I turned over, burying my head in the pillow, but the noise only grew heavier like it was pressing through the walls on purpose. My stomach sank. Something was wrong.I dragged myself out of bed, splashed water on my face, and ran a comb through my hair with fingers that still felt half-asleep. No time for much else. I pulled on a simple dress, the kind I usually wore when I wanted to move freely, and rushed down the stairs, heart hammering because the tone of those voices didn’t sound like normal pack chatter.The moment I stepped into the hall, I froze.Every single worker was gathered in the center of the room, heads down, hands twisted nervously. Some were shaking. Elena stood in front of them like a queen on trial day, her chin high, eyes burning with self-importance. Her jewelry box was open on the table beside her, empty. She held up her favorite necklace l

Chapter 74Daniel’s POVThe corridors of the pack house still smelled faintly of ash and storm after Kael’s fury last night. I hadn’t slept much. I couldn’t.

I already knew it wasn’t just a summons,it was Kael. He had that way of dragging people into his storm whether they were ready or not.I tugged on my boots and opened the door.

Kael always called us both when he was at his breaking point. Beta and Gamma. His wall. His curse.I pushed open the heavy

Chapter 76Kael’s POVI left her standing in the garden but her face stayed in my head. The way she froze when I touched her. The way her hands flew to cover herself like she was guarding something. I knew that look. It wasn’t fear of me it was fear of being found out.By the time I reached my chamber Daniel was already waiting. He had that restless energy around him like he’d been pacing. Frank walked in a few moments later carrying a bottle of liquor and three glasses. He set them down on the table without a word.I poured a drink and swallowed half of it in one go. The burn did nothing to quiet the storm in my chest.Daniel broke the silence first. “So what happened this time”I set the glass down hard enough to make it crack. “She was at training. Standing there like she belonged watching me like I was some stranger. When I asked her what she was doing she said she needed air. I pressed her and she swore she wasn’t hiding anything but I don’t believe her. She’s lying Daniel. I can
