All Chapters of The Alpha's Rogue Mate : Chapter 111 - Chapter 116

“What kind of trade?”Jake’s question echoed the one burning in my chest.I didn’t answer immediately. The chamber still smelled wrong, like cold iron after lightning. Whatever had spoken to me wasn’t gone. It had only stepped back.“It didn’t say the terms,” I said finally. “Only that I have to bring the price.”Ben let out a humorless laugh. “That’s convenient. Demons always do that. They let you imagine the worst so you break yourself before they even ask.”Clara folded her arms. “But you already know what it wants, don’t you?”I met her eyes. There was no point lying to people who had bled beside me. “It wants leverage. Something bound to Lucas. Something bound to me. Something ancient enough to rewrite rules.”Jake’s jaw tightened. “The child.”“No,” I said sharply, too sharply. The baby stirred beneath my palm, a small kick that steadied me. “Not him. Not directly.”“Then what?” Ben asked.I took a breath. “My bloodline.”Silence fell heavy.Clara was the first to speak. “Your s

“Get the healers. Now.”My voice came out harder than I felt, sharp enough to cut through the stunned silence that still clung to the clearing. Wolves finally moved. Jake barked orders. Guards fanned out, weapons half-raised, eyes darting as if the ground itself might open again.I didn’t let go of Rose.She swayed in my arms, her breath shallow, one hand locked around my wrist like I was the only solid thing left in the world. I could feel her heartbeat racing through the bond, frantic but alive. The baby stirred once, then again, a faint reassurance that nearly dropped me to my knees.“She’s bleeding,” Clara said, already kneeling at Rose’s other side. Her hands were steady, efficient, nothing like the girl I’d dragged from the mines months ago. “Not badly. But she needs rest.”“I’m fine,” Rose murmured, though her eyelids fluttered dangerously. “Lucas… did it stop?”I lowered my forehead to hers. “For now.”The words tasted like ash.Behind us, the earth was whole again, the fissur

“Clear the yard,” Lucas ordered.His voice cut through the murmurs that had started to swell like a tide unsure whether to crash or pull back. Guards moved immediately, forming a loose ring, guiding wolves and rogues away without panic, without force. That alone told me how far we’d come. Months ago, this would have ended in blood.Mara stood rigid, her jaw locked. Lila trembled openly now, one hand pressed to her forearm where the faint marks had already begun to fade. The curse had tested them and withdrawn, like a predator disappointed by the taste.Lucas stepped closer to me, his presence steady at my side. “You felt it before they spoke.”“Yes,” I said. “It reacted to intent, not words.”Jake came up on my other side, eyes sharp. “So it’s not just blood. It’s motive.”“Exactly,” I said. “It doesn’t care who they are. It cares what they’re trying to hide.”Kieran watched from a few steps back, his expression unreadable. “That makes it harder to fight.”“No,” I said quietly. “It ma
