All Chapters of FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW: Chapter 31 - Chapter 35

Seren’s POVThe sound of birds singing pulled me from my sleep, the cool morning air drifting through the open window. There was something special about waking up to this kind of quiet—so different from the bustle of the city. I’d fallen asleep in Dorian’s room last night after convincing Kairos to take my bed. It was a small victory for me, but I couldn’t deny that Kairos’s refusal to share it had been frustrating in its own way. Still, as the boys got older, I knew I’d need to upgrade the beds. It was a bit of a wake-up call, realizing I’d have to plan for more space.I stretched and pulled the blanket off, shivering as the cool air met my skin. Grabbing a sweatshirt and leggings, I quickly pulled them on, thankful for the warmth as I moved toward the kitchen. By mid-morning, I'd change into something cooler, but for now, the crisp morning felt perfect.Stepping into the kitchen, I saw Kairos, freshly showered, sipping his coffee. His damp hair and the loose shorts and T-shirt he wo

Kairos’s POVSitting in the boardroom, I couldn’t help but feel the absence of Seren. The morning felt different without her here, a quiet weight pressing down on me. The laughter and lightness she brought to the cabin was gone, replaced by the dull hum of paperwork and numbers. Monday mornings were never fun, but today, the silence seemed unbearable.I had spent the entire weekend with Seren and Dorian. It was the first time in ages I felt a real connection with someone outside of my pack, and it hit me hard. I hadn’t realized how much I missed having a true family. Seren had Dorian, and despite her insistence on handling things on her own, she was everything I had longed for. Watching her juggle everything so effortlessly, especially with Dorian, made me realize how much I had neglected Pax. Time had slipped through my fingers, and now, more than ever, I wanted to make up for it.The thought of her with me, as a part of this family, felt right. But how could I make that happen when

Alpha Kairos’s POVIt’s been a grueling week since Seren exposed Silas Granger, and I’ve been buried under a mountain of paperwork ever since. I was pissed—at Silas Granger for his deceit, at myself for not catching it sooner, and mostly at the feeling of betrayal gnawing at me. I had trusted the man. More than that, I had let him into my pack, my family, and now, it was all falling apart. But no matter what I felt, I couldn’t let anyone see it. Not Seren, not the pack, no one. I had to keep my cool.The fact that I hadn’t seen Seren all week didn’t help. It was probably better that way. I didn’t want her to see me like this. She wasn’t a part of this mess, but my heart kept dragging me back to thoughts of her. I couldn’t help it. Being around her, even for a short weekend, felt right—felt easy. But the reality of everything we were both facing quickly reminded me that we couldn’t have what we wanted. She wouldn’t trust me fully, and I wouldn’t blame her for it.The meeting with the o
