All Chapters of FALLING FOR THE ALPHA'S SHADOW: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Seren’s POV"When the Thread called, it sang in the bones instead of using words."There was a river of whispers and ice leading to the Convergence.I could sense them every night when the stars rose: dozens or even hundreds of wolves responding to an unidentified call. I was drawn forward by the Silver Thread, which buzzed beneath my skin like a heartbeat that wasn't mine.Kairos, Vaughn, Rowan, and two scouts made up our tiny company. Silas followed, his silence weighing more than his words.I had given up pretending to be able to sleep by the second night.I didn't try to cover up the slight shimmer beneath my skin when Kairos discovered me awake beside the dwindling fire."You'll exhaust yourself," he said.I gazed at the horizon, where a faint blue glow emanated from the frost. "I am unable to switch it off. It resembles weaving something."His face half-shadowed, he knelt next to me. "Are you able to tell what?""Not just yet. However, it feels like a net.His gaze grew gloomy.

Seren’s POV"The world had forgotten to breathe when I opened my eyes."Silence was the first sensation I experienced.Not the calming sort, but the humming kind. The sort that feels like water against your skin.I was lying on what appeared to be ground, but it wasn't. It was filled with pale, faintly light threads that moved like veins under glass. The sky above me glistened with hues I was unable to identify.My body didn't feel heavy. My heartbeat sounded far away, like it belonged to someone else.The world changed when I sat up. As if reality itself were being rewritten behind me, each movement left a faint silver trace in the air."Where am I?"There was no echo of my voice. Like a pebble disappearing into deep water, it sunk quickly and softly.Then I felt the Thread stirring.It whispered, "Home."It sounded more like an emotion than a word—warmth laced with grief."This isn't home," I said as I slowly rose up.Once, it was.Shapes started to emerge in the distance as the air

Seren’s POV“I wasn’t afraid of him anymore. That frightened him most.”For a moment, we only stared at each other across the broken sky.The Chainbearer’s form flickered in the strange light of the realm — one moment human-shaped, the next nothing but shadow and fire. His eyes were the same cold blue that had haunted my nightmares since childhood.But something else was there too.Sadness.Loneliness.A hunger so old it had forgotten its shape.I took a slow breath. “You followed me.”He stepped forward, the ground trembling beneath his feet. “You opened the path.”“I closed it.”“Not for me,” he said softly. “Never for me.”My wolf growled inside me, pacing, restless. The silver glow beneath my skin pulsed in warning.“You don’t get to speak like you know me,” I said.His expression tightened. “I knew you before you knew yourself.”Anger flared in my chest. “You stole me. You chained me. You carved your mark into me before I could even speak—”He raised a hand. “I saved you.”The wo

Seren's POV“I fell into the world gasping his name, and nothing felt right when my eyes opened.”The world slammed back into me like a storm.Air. Cold. Wet. Real.I hit the ground so hard that my lungs folded. My fingers clawed at the snow until I felt Kairos beside me, coughing, shaking, alive.Alive.That was all my mind cared about.“Kairos,” I whispered.His hand twitched toward me, brushing my wrist. “I’m here.”The sky spun in circles above us. The clouds wavered like smoke, and for a moment I thought we were still trapped in the realm. But the air smelled like pine and frost, not silver fire. The world held edges again. Things had shadows. Sound came back slowly — the distant crack of ice, the beat of running feet, someone calling our names.Rowan was the first to reach us. He skidded to his knees, eyes wide. “Alpha! Seren! What happened? The portal— it shook the whole forest.”Kairos tried to stand and almost fell again. I grabbed his arm to steady him, but my own legs tremb

Seren’s POV“Someone was pounding on my door before the sun even rose, shouting my name like the world was burning.”The pounding didn’t stop.It shook the wooden door, jolting me out of a restless half-sleep filled with silver flashes and strange whispers. I sat up too fast, my vision blurring. The glow under my skin flickered again, soft but steady, like a strange heartbeat.Kairos was already on his feet, boots hitting the floor. “Stay there.”I didn’t listen. I swung my legs off the bed, though my knees almost buckled. He caught me with one arm before I could fall.“Seren,” he said, “you shouldn’t be standing.”“I’m fine,” I whispered. The lie tasted thin.The knocking grew louder.“Alpha!” Vaughn’s voice broke through the wood. “It’s urgent.”Kairos swore under his breath. He helped me sit back on the edge of the bed before striding to the door and pulling it open.Vaughn stepped in, breath sharp. “The council is assembling. They’re demanding answers.”Kairos rubbed his jaw. “Of
