บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha king and the Hunt: บทที่ 181 - บทที่ 190

Caelum’s POVWe left the place before sunrise.After tracking the footprints it led no where important.The city was still sleeping when General Rowan’s soldiers opened the northern gates for us.The sky was dark.Even though dawn was approaching, thick clouds covered the moon, leaving the road ahead barely visible.I sat behind the wheel of the vehicle, my hands resting firmly against it as we followed the narrow road toward the mountains.Aria sat beside me and Nyra was in the back.General Rowan’s two soldiers followed behind us on horseback.Our destination was still several hours away. The village beneath the mountains. The place where we hoped to find answers.The place where, according to Rowan’s scouts, the king might already be waiting. I glanced at the rearview mirror.Nyra was staring out the window.“You okay?” I asked Her eyes met mine through the mirror. “I’m fine.”“You’re sure?”“Yes.” She smiled Aria looked at me and I shrugged while Nyra rolled her eyes. “I regret

Luna Aria's POVThe pack house had never felt so quiet.I sat beside the cradle near the bedroom window, gently rocking it with one hand while watching my daughter sleep.Her tiny fingers curled around a doll she was holding, her silver hair shimmering softly beneath the afternoon light.She was beautiful.A tiny miracle born into a world that seemed determined to return to war.I smiled and cooed at her "You have your brother's hair," I whispered."But your father's stubbornness" The baby stirred, letting out a sleepy little sound before settling again.The sight made my heart melt, behind me, footsteps approached and I knew it was Kaelen.Kaelen wrapped his arms around my shoulders from behind and kissed the top of my head."She's asleep?""For now."He leaned over the cradle. His large hand looked enormous beside our daughter's tiny one.Yet somehow she instinctively reached out and wrapped her little fingers around his thumb.Kaelen chuckled. "I think she already knows who spoils

Caelum's POVThe silence lingered long after the gates had closed. None of us moved.I stared at the village, my hand resting on the hilt of my sword."Did he" Aria began. "Just point at Nyra?" I finished.She nodded slowly. "I thought I imagined it."Nyra's face had gone pale. "I've never seen that man before.""You know him?" I asked.She shook her head immediately. "No, I swear I don't."I believed her and the confusion in her eyes was genuine.Still... The way the old man had looked at her made my instincts tense up.He hadn't looked surprised at all, he had looked certain as if he'd been waiting. "We've come this far," I said quietly."We can't turn back now."Neither of them argued.Together, we walked down the winding path toward the village.As we approached, I noticed how small it really was.The stone wall surrounding it was barely twice my height, patched in several places with rough timber where age had begun to wear it away.A wooden sign hung beside the entrance, faded

Nyra's POV"No, this can’t be happening right now, I can’t have my heat”The word barely escaped my lips, another wave of heat crashed through my body and I gripped the edge of the table so tightly that the wood creaked beneath my fingers.Every breath became harder to take, it felt like my skin burned everytime i moved and my wolf paced frantically inside my mind.It's time.He said No.Stop fighting it.I'm an Alpha, what did you do, this isnt right.The thought echoed desperately through my mind, Alphas don't go into heat, they simply didn't.We were dominant wolves and our instincts were different.This wasn't supposed to happen.Another sharp cramp tore through my abdomen and a small gasp escaped me, any moment now and my scent would fill the room.I could feel my nipples hardening already, Across the table, Chief Garrick's face darkened with realization."This scent” he sniffed and groaned as he looked around for the source, I wished the ground could. So I could fall in.he

Nyra’s pov Mate?He said but I wasn’t paying attention to that, my wolf was growling and all I wanted to do was press him to the ground and make him stop this ache i was feeling.I shifted closer. Then closer still. Until my shoulder pressed against his arm and the heat of him was coarsing through my thin shirt. The contact helped for half a second. Then it made everything worse, a soft, needy sound slipped out of me before I could stop it.“Nyra,” he said quietly, voice low and steady. “We can’t do this, I’m not taking advantage of your heat”I swallowed hard “My wolf isnt listening” “How bad is it?” I asked “Bad enough that I can’t think about anything else.”He exhaled through his nose and lifted his arm in silent invitation. I went without hesitation, curling into his side, pressing my face against the warm column of his throat. The scent of him hit me harder up close like lake water and sun-warmed skin.I rubbed my cheek against his neck. Then my nose. Then the soft place
