All Chapters of Bound by Blood, Fated to the Two Alphas : Chapter 221 - Chapter 227

RONAN'S POV"We have to go back."Kael's voice was flat. Final. No room for argument.Our daughter looked up from her breakfast. Those silver eyes went wide with fear. "Back where?""To the mountain," Elara said gently. Knelt beside her chair. "Where we found you. Where the Guardian fell. We need to see what's happening there.""No!" Our daughter grabbed Elara's arm. Desperate. "Don't go to the dark place. It's calling me there. It wants me."My blood went cold. "What do you mean it wants you?""In my dreams. The voice says come home. Says I belong there. In the dark." Tears streamed down her face. "Don't go there. Please don't go.""We have to, sweetling," I said. My heart is breaking. "To fix what's broken. To stop the corruption.""Then I'm coming too!" She stood on her chair. Defiant despite the tears. "You can't leave me again!""It's too dangerous," Kael said. Firm. Alpha command creeping into his voice. "You're staying here.""No! I won't! You can't make me!" Her magic flared.

KAEL'S POV"We will try again today."I said it as dawn broke. Third morning on this cursed mountain. But something felt different. Lighter somehow.Ronan nodded. No argument. "Together this time. Really together."Elara stood. Stretched. I looked at both of us. "Not trying to fix each other. Just accepting each other."Simple words. But they meant everything.We'd talked through the night. Really talked. About our fears. Our failures. Our fundamental differences. And somehow, in admitting we were all broken, we'd started becoming whole again.The walk back to the wound site felt different. We walked side by side. Not ahead. Not behind. Together.The corruption had spread overnight. The chasm was wider. Darker. Hungrier.But I wasn't afraid anymore. Not the same way."Ready?" I asked."Ready," they answered together.We formed our triangle. Joined hands. This time I didn't try to force my way. I didn't try to make them follow my discipline. My structure. My methods.I channeled warrio

ELARA'S POV"Mama, watch this!"Our daughter stood in the garden. Six months since the mountain. Six months of healing. Growing. Becoming.She raised both hands. Light blazed from her right palm. Shadow swirled from her left. Then she brought them together.The magic merged. Created something entirely new. A flower bloomed between her hands. Half silver-light. Half midnight-shadow. Absolutely breathtaking."Beautiful, sweetling," I called. I meant it completely.She grinned. Ran to show the other children. Five of them now. All with difficult magic. All sent here by desperate parents. All thriving under our teaching.We'd become something unexpected. A sanctuary. Not just for light magic. Not just for shadow. For everything in between. For the complicated. It's frightening. The difference.Kael taught them structure. Control. How to channel power through discipline and focus.Ronan taught them patience. Gentleness. How to nurture magic instead of forcing it.I taught them wisdom. Bala
