All Chapters of The Alpha’s Claiming Bite : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The forest lay thick around us, shadows pooling like ink beneath the trees. Every rustle of leaves, every snap of a twig, every faint movement made my heart pound—not from fear alone, but from the bloodmark pulsing in my veins. It was a fire that I couldn’t ignore, a pull that connected me to Kade, to the pack, to the instincts buried deep inside me.Kade moved ahead, body low, muscles coiled, eyes glinting gold in the dappled moonlight. Wolves flanked him, silent and alert, their presence a living extension of his senses. And I, trailing close, could feel every heartbeat, every intent, every surge of power that radiated from him.“This is near the border,” Kade murmured, voice low and dangerous. “Rogues have been moving here. And there’s someone else. Someone… watching.”I shivered, though not from cold. The bond flared hotter, pulling my awareness outward. I could sense it—another alpha, tense and calculating, lurking on the edges of the territory. My pulse quickened, muscles tensin

The forest seemed to hold its breath.Shadows hung thick among the towering pines, each rustle of leaves carrying a weight I could feel in my chest. The bloodmark pulsed with an intensity that set my nerves on fire, tugging at me, warning me. Something was wrong. Something was waiting.Kade moved beside me, silent, controlled, golden eyes scanning the darkness. The pack flanked us, alert, teeth bared, muscles taut like coiled springs. But it was the pull in my veins—the fire of the bond—that told me more than even Kade could see.“They’ve set something,” I whispered, my voice tight, barely audible over the night. “Something… like a trap.”Kade’s gaze snapped to mine, pupils narrowing. “I can feel it too,” he said, low and dangerous. “Rogues have been clever, but not clever enough. Stay close. Trust the bond. Let it guide you.”The warning pulsed in my chest. The rival alpha was not reckless; he was calculated, patient, and cruel. He had waited for this moment, baiting us into a carefu

The forest was alive with whispers of danger. Every rustle of leaves, every subtle shift in the underbrush, screamed of unseen eyes and hidden threats. My pulse thrummed in sync with the fire of the bloodmark, hot and insistent, tugging me forward, guiding me through the darkness.Kade moved beside me, silent and predatory, golden eyes scanning every shadow, every glimmer of movement. The pack followed, tense and alert, muscles coiled, senses heightened. But it was the bond that spoke loudest, pulsing, warning, connecting me to him and the danger ahead.“The lair isn’t far,” Kade murmured, voice low, almost a growl. “I can smell it. His scent… it’s layered with traps, fear, and arrogance. He thinks he can manipulate us. That he can lure you.”I shivered at the thought. The rival alpha’s ambition was palpable, his cruelty deliberate. He wanted more than a fight—he wanted to fracture us, destabilize the pack, and perhaps claim me if the bond faltered.My fingers traced the mark at my ne

The chamber reeked of smoke and blood, the torches spitting shadows across stone walls. And standing in the center of it, like a nightmare given flesh, was the rival alpha.His presence was suffocating. Broad shoulders carried old scars like trophies, his skin inked with symbols that pulsed faintly in the torchlight. His eyes glowed a deep, unnatural red—the mark of an alpha who had fed too long on fear, rage, and stolen power.Kade stepped forward, his chest bare, golden eyes blazing. His dominance rolled through the room in waves, crackling like a storm about to break. The pack behind us lowered their heads instinctively, the air vibrating with the clash of power.The rival alpha’s gaze slid to me, lingering on my neck where the mark pulsed. His lips curved. “So this is what the great Kade Wilder has fallen to. A human. Fragile. Corruptible. Your leash, Alpha.”Kade’s growl shook the chamber. “Careful,” he said, voice sharp enough to cut bone. “Her name leaves your mouth again, and

The storm hadn’t broken, but Lena could feel it coming.By morning, the great hall was quiet, yet the silence was wrong—too sharp, too brittle, as though every stone held its breath. The fire still burned in the hearth, wolves still moved through the fortress, but something had shifted overnight. Whispers clung to the air like smoke. Whispers of her.She heard them when she crossed the courtyard with Kade, his hand possessive at the small of her back. Wolves bowed their heads to him, but their eyes slid toward her, and in their gazes she read everything—fear, resentment, awe, hunger.“The human.”“Look at her hands.”“Bloodmarked.”“Cursed.”Her fists curled, hiding her nails. Claws. Still faint, still small, but real. She could feel them even when they weren’t visible, tingling beneath her skin as though waiting to break through again.Kade felt her tension. His thumb pressed into her spine, a subtle command: stand tall. He didn’t look at her, but his voice was a low growl meant only
