All Chapters of Moon's Restraint: The Alpha's Dangerous Obsession: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The silence after Alpha Kael spoke felt strange. “Unless you would rather sit where I sit.” No one in the council chamber moved. For a moment, it was as if the entire room had forgotten how to breathe. I suddenly became very aware of where I was sitting. Not across the chamber. Not standing among the advisors like before. But beside him. Close enough that the warmth from his body reached me through the small space between our chairs. My hands rested quietly in my lap, but my shoulders had stiffened without my permission. 'Why did he say that…?' Several elders exchanged brief glances. One of them shifted forward slightly, clearly debating whether to continue speaking. The tension in the chamber felt thick. Finally, one of the older council members cleared his throat. “My lord,” he said carefully, his tone respectful but strained. “The seat beside the Alpha is not a place casually occupied.” The meaning was obvious. That seat was meant for the Luna. Not for someone lik

Alpha Kael did not stop walking after leaving the council chamber.He simply pulled me along with him.It took me several steps to realize something strange.Our hands were still intertwined.For a moment my ears still rang with the memory of raised voices and the scrape of chairs across the floor. The smell of old parchment and iron had followed us out like a ghost.But Alpha Kael did not pause.He did not even look back.He simply kept walking through the corridor with long, steady strides.My mind was still tangled inside the council chamber... inside the punishment he had delivered so calmly... inside the cold silence that had followed.Then my gaze dropped again.Our hands.Still joined together.His hand held mine firmly as he walked through the corridor, long strides confident and effortless.Not hesitant.Not questioning.As if this had never been unusual at all.As if my hand had always belonged in his.My chest tightened slightly.'He really does whatever he wants.'My eyes

The palace did not remain quiet for long.At first it was only a distant noise somewhere beyond the office walls... the sharp echo of raised voices, boots striking stone, the clatter of something heavy hitting the floor.Then came the unmistakable sound of fighting.A shout.Another.The scrape of metal.Beta Nial’s head lifted immediately.Alpha Kael did not move.But the air in the room shifted.The noise in the corridor grew louder... closer... moving quickly through the palace like a storm rushing through narrow halls.Servants cried out somewhere outside.Boots pounded.Someone shouted orders.Another voice shouted back.Then came the unmistakable thud of a body striking stone.My stomach tightened.“What is happening?” I whispered.No one answered.The fighting was already approaching the office.A heavy impact struck the doors.Once.Twice.Then the doors burst open.The wooden panels slammed violently against the walls.The man standing in the doorway was breathing hard.Ruiz’

Morning spread across the palace courtyard in pale gold light, but there was nothing peaceful about it.The air itself felt restless.Whispers moved through the gathered wolves in low, sharp currents, passing from one mouth to another with barely hidden anticipation. Warriors stood near the edges of the courtyard with straight backs and guarded expressions. Servants lingered farther away, pretending to keep busy while listening far too closely. Even the younger wolves who normally avoided the center of palace affairs had somehow found reasons to remain nearby.A priest from the Moon Temple was arriving.That single piece of news had spread through the pack before the sun had properly risen.And somehow... I already knew what many of them believed.I stood beside Alpha Kael and Beta Nial near the front of the courtyard, trying very hard to keep my face calm under the weight of so many eyes. It did not help.The looks kept coming.Cold.Accusing.Some wolves would glance at me and then

The palace corridors felt quieter than before.Not peaceful... just watchful.I could feel it as I walked, in the way conversations softened when I passed, in the way footsteps shifted, in the way eyes followed before quickly turning away as if they had not meant to look at all.It was different from yesterday.Yesterday had been sharp. Cold. Certain.Today felt... uncertain.'They’re still deciding...'I kept my gaze forward and walked as if I did not notice. It was easier that way. If I pretended not to feel it, maybe it would not settle so heavily against me.But it did.It lingered somewhere between my shoulders, a quiet weight that refused to leave.I turned into a narrower corridor, hoping for a moment of quiet.That was when I saw them.Two servants struggling with a large wooden crate, both bent slightly under the weight as they tried to carry it together. Their steps were uneven, their grips shifting constantly as if the wood might slip from their hands at any second.One of
