Billionaire Alpha's Ex-wife and Her Hidden Cubs のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 131 - チャプター 140

They're ready for war," she said slowly. "Which means they know something we don't," Kelvin said. "Or they're counting on something we haven't anticipated." As the standoff continued, a third figure emerged from the crowd Catherine, the old woman who'd helped establish the realm. She carried a white flag, the ancient symbol of negotiation. "They want to talk," Dutch observed. "Or they're buying time," Sandra countered. Kelvin lowered his radio. "Either way, we need to respond. If we open fire now without at least appearing willing to negotiate, we look like the bad ones. That'll unite every faction against us." "So we talk," Sandra said. "Draw them in closer, get them in position, then spring the trap." "Agreed," Kelvin said. "Dutch, come with us. Everyone else, maintain positions and await orders." As they walked out to meet Catherine in the neutral ground between forces, Sandra leaned close to Kelvin. "Remember we're the reasonable ones here. We're trying to resolve this p

The first explosion shook the compound's foundation three seconds before Kelvin's phone went dead. Kelvin stared at the blank screen, his satisfied smile freezing as the command vehicle's monitors erupted in chaos. Red alerts flashed across every display. His men were shouting through the radio phone, making it hard for him to even notice anything. "Sir, we've lost visual on the compound!" The communications officer shouted as he continued typing, hitting his keyboard with every force possible. "Something's jamming our satellite feed." "Pierce's forces?" Kelvin asked even though he already knew the answer was wrong. Something was wrong. Someone was helping her, and it was not Pierce; it was someone else. What the hell is happening'? “Check if it is Pierce?” "No, sir. These are..." The officer's face went pale. "Sir, we're reading military explosives. Someone just breached the connection on the north side” Kelvin's blood turned to ice. Pierce didn't use military force; he has

Pierce would never give up his family for you. That is something I am sure of. He loves his family, and you all use us one way or the other, and I don't think I would allow that to happen again. Never would I allow myself to be controlled by you and your people. I would rather die than allow that to happen. Again, I repeat, I would rather die than allow that to happen. They love me I love them. You all started this, you all played the seed of doubt in me that made me start befriending him, that seduced Sandra's I to my life..none of this would have happened if you had not introduced her and made me cheat that night!” Morris finally spoke, his voice steady: "Special Agent Victor Konstantin has been authorized to arrest you for conspiracy to commit murder, embezzlement of federal funds, obstruction of justice, and about forty other charges. I'm sorry, sir, but you need to surrender." Kelvin's hand moved to his weapon, then stopped. The vehicle was locked. Morris and the other two offi

Pierce's convoy screeched to a halt outside the church, his men pouring out. Rosa was out of the vehicle before it fully stopped. Elena hurts, Marcus whispered aloud, his voice echoing with supernatural resonance. Elena is scared, and Sandra is dying, and everything hurts. "We're getting her back," Rosa promised, but her hands shook as she held her son. Pierce moved toward the church entrance, his Alpha power radiating outward in waves that made the bounty hunters step back instinctively. Catherine dropped the barrier just enough to let them through. The scene inside stopped Pierce cold. Sandra lay on the stone floor, blood trickling from her nose and ears, her skin gray and cracking like old paper. Elena sat beside her, one small hand on Sandra's chest, tears streaming down the child's face. Jeffrey stood nearby, gun lowered, looking like he might be sick. "Pierce," Catherine said urgently. "We have a problem." Sandra's eyes fluttered open as they entered. When she saw Pierc

Kelvin woke in a room that shouldn't exist. The walls were made of shadow, not painted black or draped in fabric, but literally constructed from darkness that shifted and breathed. . "Awake. Good." The voice came from everywhere and nowhere. Kelvin tried to sit up, but found his body still burned and broken from the weapon's backlash. Rosa's healing had stabilized him, but he was far from recovered. Kelvin immediately screamed, “Somebody help me!” But no one came. A voice came to meet him. A shadow: Kevin saw only their shadows, not their bodies. "Kelvin Brennan," the central figure spoke, voice ageless and cold. "Do you know where you are?" "Hell?" Kelvin croaked through his damaged throat. "Close. You're in the space between spaces, where the Shadow Council convenes." The figure lowered her good "My name is Morrigan. I was Margaret's mentor, her guide, and ultimately, the one who ordered her death." Kelvin's blood ran cold. "You killed Margaret?" "We allowed her to die," a
