The Alpha’s Heat 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Chapter Twelve: The Bone CrownKael’s POVTonight, it sounded closer.I sat at the mouth of the den, watching the treeline as the shadows moved in ways shadows shouldn’t. Eva slept behind me, or at least her body did. Her breathing was steady, but it had that same tense, restless rhythm I’d felt in her since the night at the river.She hadn’t spoken of it. Not the scream, not the white eyes, not the way the air itself had bent under her voice. I’d tried once, and she’d looked at me like she was somewhere far away, trying to measure whether I was still someone she could tell the truth to.I hadn’t asked again.Instead, I kept watch.---The scent came just after moonrise though it was faint and almost sweet, like blood warmed over a fire.It was moving toward us.I shifted without thinking, paws hitting earth with a thud I didn’t bother to hide. If it was close enough to scent, it already knew where we were.The thing I scented wasn’t just wrong, it was layered, it had too many notes

Chapter FourteenAsh in the VeinsEliara’s POVHer voice didn’t fade, It stayed.“Eliara… you’re next.”The words weren’t sound anymore, they were threads and bond crawling under my skin.Kael lunged, a blur of claws and fury. “Stay away from her!”But Eva didn’t even flinch, she just lifted her hand, and Kael slammed into something unseen. He was thrown back so hard his shoulder cracked against the den wall.He staggered, teeth bared, with blood stain visible on his lip.And the thread between Eva and me burned way more hotter.I saw it and then I saw another line.But it was not just me, Kael was tied too.A dark thread, coiled deep in his chest, connecting him to her.I froze in shock. The Bone Crown wasn’t choosing one of us.It was knotting us together.“Stop fighting me,” Eva said, her voice so soft it terrified me. “The crown doesn’t want a vessel. It wants three.”My stomach flipped. “Three?”She smiled, white eyes gleaming.“Yes…. You, me… and Kael.”Kael’s terrifying growl

Chapter SixteenThe Door’s WhisperEva’s POVKael’s fangs were still wet with Eliara’s blood when his eyes found me, it was not just rage and anger but something darker and something hungrier.The bond between us throbbed raw, Eliara’s scream still echoing through my veins, but the moment he tore from her body, it snapped taut between him and me. The crown had wanted three, and for one breathless instant, I felt it. Not Eliara. Not the pack. Him.Kael.The wolf who had sworn he would never bow.The wolf who would rather kill than kneel.And yet, his hands shook where they gripped Eliara’s limp form but I saw it was not from guilt or from grief but from the violence it took to deny what he felt when he looked at me.I smiled, slow and deliberate. “You feel it, don’t you?”His jaw locked, teeth bared. He didn’t move. Not toward me, not away. Just caged in place by the very pull he was trying to fight.“Don’t lie to yourself,” I whispered, tilting my head, letting the blood at my chest s

Chapter EighteenEva’s POVHis thrust made my body jolt sending me to cloud 9, my breath catching in a broken moan that slipped free before I could swallow it. The bond snapped taut, wrapping around my ribs like a cage, forcing every sensation to amplify until there was no escape from the heat of him inside me.Kael’s claws bit into my hips, anchoring me in place, having me arch my back and dragging me back onto him harder, deeper, until I felt him everywhere. His groan tore through me, low and guttural, vibrating against my chest where he pressed me against the stone.I clutched at him, nails sinking into his flesh as if holding him tighter would keep me from shattering. Blood slicked beneath my fingers, hot and wet, and the scent of it made me tremble with something far more dangerous than fear.“More,” I gasped, the word trembling out of me, raw and demanding.His answering snarl was not a refusal. His hips snapped forward again, but deeper and harder this time, his body slamming

Chapter TwentyTwist Eva’s POVKael’s body was still caged above me, trembling with the aftermath of what I had done to him. His breath came ragged, his claws still buried in the stone on either side of my head like he needed to hold on or he’d collapse entirely. His golden eyes burned, but not with triumph.With fear.It wasn’t in his nature to admit it, but I felt it humming through the bond sharp, strangled, foreign. The mighty Kael, unbreakable, unbending, undone by me.By this.I didn’t understand what had happened. I hadn’t meant to reach for it, hadn’t even known it was there. The power had risen like a tide inside me, too strong to contain, and when it broke free, Kael had been pinned beneath it. His body, his will, his hunger all mine.And gods help me, I liked it.He lowered his head, his breath hot and uneven against my throat. For a moment he didn’t move, as if he needed stillness to piece himself back together. Then his lips brushed my skin, soft and dangerous.“What did
