บททั้งหมดของ The Breeder of Alpha: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Kieran’s POV,“So, what have you decided, finally?” I was sitting in the royal council chamber when King Aldric’s voice shattered the silence. The candle flames flickered casting restless shadows across the room as the king and the elders of the royal pack leaned in to hear my response.Across the oak table, Princess Lyria was glancing at me, her fingers clenched so tightly that her knuckles gleamed white against her emerald gown. She was beautiful, no question about it but her eyes burned with a dark fire that set my wolf on edge.I finally leaned forward, keeping my voice calm like a quiet lake. “As the Alpha of the Shadowmoon Clan, I agree to this marriage proposal under a few certain conditions. You must share your grain reserves and grant full access to your ports for my pack from now on. My people need food and trade to face the upcoming winter.”“Haha…” King Aldric burst into laughter all of a sudden. “That’s a steep price, Alpha,” he growled. “Our grain is our lifeblood, and th

Mira's POV,As our car slipped past the border into Shadow Moon pack territory, a heavy weight seemed to lift from my chest making me relax for a moment. The dense forest parted revealing glimpses of the pack’s castle bathed in the golden glow of sunlight.“Here we are,” Lord Kyden said warmly, his hand gently patting my back as the car glided to a stop in front of the pack’s grand castle. Since our car had been instructed to drive slowly due to my health condition, we were the last to arrive in the courtyard.“Carefully now,” Kyden murmured softly as he took my hand in his firm grip. I stepped down from the car, my legs felt a bit unsteady beneath me. “You need to move as little as possible, remember?” His eye sharply scanned me for a second, then searched my face for any sign of strain.I managed a faint smile clutching his hand tightly for support. Lord Kyden was always so caring towards me ignoring the chaos of pack politics. He had even refused to ride with Princess Lyria, choosin

Mira's POV,“I’ll marry Lyria as my mate, then. As you have nothing to say.” Kieran trembled with barely contained rage as he confronted me. “And remember, Lyria will be my Luna after our marriage.”The words tasted like ash, shuttering the dreams I had woven thinking he might choose me one day. My hands rested protectively over my swollen belly, trying to fight the storm tearing me apart. My lips quivered and all I could say sounded frail and broken. “I… I wish you and Princess Lyria well, Alpha. May she… may she give you a strong and healthy heir.”He leaned forward, his voice low and edged with sharp rage. “You think that’s what I want to hear, Mira? Your blessing?” His eyes locked onto mine and I flinched, the intensity of his eyes pinning me in my place. “Do you even understand what this will cost both of us?”I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out. My throat tightened and I shook my head as if to shake it off. “I… I don’t know what you want to hear from me, Alp

Mira's POV,“My baby. My baby… please… no…”My eyes flung open gasping hard as my heart slammed against my ribs like it was trying to break free. My lungs screamed for a whiff of air as if I was still fighting against someone strong to save my life.“Kieran!”My hands were still trembling as I placed them over my face, trying to scrub away the terror from my jumbled mind. The room was engulfed with darkness except for a strip of silver moonlight sneaking through the curtains time to time. It wasn’t enough to remove the darkness but my head was calming down a bit now.I kept standing there, waiting for my pulse to calm down completely. My throat was dry like sandpaper and I finally dragged my body out of bed to fetch some water. My bare feet soon touched the cold floor as I shuffled to the small table in the corner. The room was too damn quiet and I was still trembling weakly.I poured myself a glass of water and gulped it down in one go, trying to steady my frayed nerves.“Calm down. I

Mira's POV,The door clicked shut behind Kieran and the sudden quiet in the room suffocated me with a hellish pain. I stood frozen, staring blankly at the empty space where he had stood just moments ago."Moon Goddess, why do you have to be so cruel to me?"My heart twisted with a wave of sobs and a sharp, gnawing pain at a truth I couldn’t escape. Kieran! My Kieran.He was betrothed to Princess Lyria and I had lost him forever. Soon, she would claim him as her husband and I’d be nothing more than a fleeting memory in his past… someone he might eventually choose to get rid of.I paced restlessly in my room, the thud of my heart the only sound echoing in the silence. My hands instinctively rested on my belly where I could feel the faint presence of my baby. In this cruel world, my baby was the only fragile hope I had left."Don’t blame your daddy for it, my sweet baby," I whispered softly, trying to soothe my racing thoughts. "He’s just doing his duty as the Alpha. One day, you’ll under
