All Chapters of On Your Kneels, Alpha Chase : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Elena*****Lucian’s Hidden Caves — Hours After the Attack *****The world was still spinning when we finally stumbled into the caves.My arms ached from holding the twins so tightly, my lungs burned, and my clothes were soaked with melted snow and blood, some mine, most not. The hunters were dead. Every last one of them. But their presence was a warning I could no longer ignore.We weren’t running from rumors anymore.We were running from a world that wanted my children dead.Lucian lowered the heavy stone slab that sealed the cave entrance, the grinding sound echoing deep into the darkness. He stood still for a moment, breathing hard, his blade still dripping silver from the fight.Fia whimpered in my arms, her small fingers clutching my shirt. Finn slept on my back, wrapped tightly, his face buried near my neck. They didn’t understand what happened. They didn’t know how close death came.Lucian finally turned to me.“You fought well,” he said quietly.I brushed past him, moving deep

Elena*****In the forest*****The screams hit me before the smell of smoke.I froze in the middle of the forest path, my heart slamming painfully against my ribs. Finn and Fia were strapped securely to my chest in their carrier, both asleep, unaware of the chaos ripping through the night.“Lucian!” I whispered sharply.He appeared behind me instantly, silent as a shadow, silver eyes narrowing as the wind shifted again.More screams.More burning.The rogues’ settlement was under attack.“I knew something felt wrong,” I breathed, gripping the straps of my babies’ carrier. My palms were sweaty. My heart wouldn’t slow.Lucian didn’t move for a second, scanning the distance. His expression was calm, but there was tension in his jaw. “It’s worse than we expected. Move behind me.”“I’m not hiding,” I shot back.His gaze snapped to me. “You have two newborns on your chest, Elena.”“And I’m still not hiding.” I adjusted my stance. “Those people saved us once I’m not running while they die.”L

Chase*****Five Years Later — Crescent Valley Plains, Dawn*****I had been running nonstop.Hours of chasing a scent so faint most wolves would’ve thought it was their imagination. But not me. Not when that scent had once been the center of my entire existence.Wildflowers. Ash. A hint of something warm I hadn’t breathed in five long years.Elena.Every step forward felt like my chest was ripping open wider. My wolf paced inside me like a caged animal, snapping and snarling, pushing against my skin with a desperation that bordered on madness.Quinn stayed close behind me, panting slightly. “Chase….slow down. You’re going to scare the delegates.”“I don’t care,” I growled without looking back.We crested a hill overlooking the large open plain in front of the Crescent Valley Fortress. Dawn had turned the horizon gold. Delegations were arriving for peace negotiations, carriages rolling in, warriors assembling, banners fluttering in the cold wind.But all of that became background noise

Seraphina*****Crescent Valley Fortress — Same Morning*****I knew something was wrong the moment the messenger ran into my quarters without knocking.His face was pale. Sweaty. Terrified.People were always terrified around me, but this was different.This was fear of a disaster he didn’t know how to say out loud.“What is it?” I snapped.He gulped. “Alpha Chase… he….he saw something in the courtyard.”My heartbeat jumped. “What something?”He hesitated.“I don’t pay you to stand and tremble like an idiot,” I barked. “Spit it out.”He finally whispered, “Elena is here.”Everything inside me froze.Elena.Alive.Not dead in the wild.Not buried under rogue attacks.Alive. Standing. Breathing. Existing.For a moment, the world spun, and I had to grip the edge of the table to steady myself.“Are you sure?” I hissed.“Yes, Luna. And she’s not alone.”My eyes narrowed. “Explain.”“She arrived with two children.”My stomach twisted so violently it felt like I’d been hit in the gut.No.No.

Elena*****Crescent Valley Fortress — Eastern Wing*****I barely slept.Not because of Chase.Because of the twins.Finn had crawled into my lap and fallen asleep on my chest, warm and peaceful. Fia kept waking up every hour, sensing the tension in the air. Her abilities were still unstable. Emotional pressure around her made her restless.By the time dawn crept through the window, my head was pounding.I stood at the balcony, arms crossed, breathing in the cold air while the twins slept. The fortress was already awake, warriors marching, patrols moving, scouts preparing for the peace summit.Everyone was tense.Everyone but me.And that was the part I worked hardest for.Behind me, a soft knock sounded.Before I could respond, the door opened.Lucian stepped inside.Tall. Calm. Silent. His presence swallowed the room instantly. He didn’t need an introduction, he carried the kind of authority that made even the air react.His cloak billowed softly as he walked toward me. Silver patter
