The Alpha's Silent Divorce: Reclaimed by the Enemy のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

The clock on the wall made a soft hissing sound.Killian stood near the crystal window. His reflection looked pale against the valley outside, where the sun was slowly rising. The exhaustion was finally catching up to him. Dark circles sat under his eyes, and his shoulders, usually strong and steady, looked heavy with the secret we carried.“We can’t hide the boy,” I whispered from the edge of the silk bed. “The Seer will feel the hunger inside him. She’ll know something is wrong.”Killian turned to face me. He didn’t look like a hero. He looked like a man ready to take a dangerous risk.“We’re not going to hide him, Elara,” he said quietly. “We’re going to cover him.”He walked to the small table and picked up a bowl of water. From his pocket, he pulled out a small black stone, a piece from the Sovereign Well. When he dropped it into the bowl, the water turned dark, almost black.“This is a masking stone,” he explained. His voice was low and urgent. “It won’t stop the Void. But it w

The training sword felt heavy in Killian’s hand.He stood in the middle of the courtyard, breathing hard as he faced three of his best warriors. Normally, he would defeat them in seconds. He usually moved fast and smoothly, like a shadow with steel.But today was different.His steps were slow. A dull ache spread from his lower back through the rest of his body, the same place where he had touched my stomach the night before.“Again,” Killian growled, wiping sweat from his eyes.Tanya stood at the side of the training ring, watching carefully. Her eyes were narrow. She didn’t speak, but her hand rested tightly on the handle of her sword.She could see something the others could not.Their Alpha was weakening.His movements were slower than they should be, missing the sharp strength that a True Alpha normally had.I watched everything from the stone balcony above. My hands rested on the railing.I could feel it too.Every time Killian’s strength dropped in the courtyard, the baby insid

The cost of the bond was becoming deadly.Killian lay on the stone floor of the war room, breathing heavily. His chest rose and fell with effort. He had collapsed during a meeting with the pack elders. Only Harkan’s quick excuse, saying the Alpha was “fasting for the moon”, stopped the elders from panicking.But the truth was clear.Killian’s skin looked pale and gray. The baby inside me was growing stronger, and the masking stone had turned the bond into a constant drain. It was slowly pulling the life out of him.“He won’t survive until the birth,” I whispered to the healer, who was desperately mixing herbs that clearly weren’t helping. “If this continues, the baby will be born in a fortress with a dead king.”I looked down at my hands.They were steady.My skin looked brighter than ever, almost glowing. I felt stronger and more alive than I had ever felt in Silas’s mansion. I was carrying a powerful child, and that power was killing the one man who had protected me.I couldn’t wait

The Old Bridge stretched across a deep gorge like a long gray spine. It was the only path connecting the Midnight Moon territory to the lands where Silas ruled.Thick fog covered the bridge. I could barely see the warriors standing along the walls.But I could feel something had changed.Ever since I placed the Lunar Heart against Killian’s chest, the air in the fortress felt different. It was heavy with energy, almost like electricity. A faint violet power filled the air, making the hairs on my arms stand up.Killian stood alone in the middle of the bridge.He wore no cloak. His sword was still sheathed. His arms were crossed over his chest, and the faint purple glow of the crystal could be seen through his tunic.On the other side of the bridge, more than a hundred Silver Crest wolves waited in the fog.Their golden eyes shone like small fires in the mist.Silas stepped forward.He stared at Killian and breathed in deeply, as if testing the air.“I heard you were dying, Butcher,” S

The air underground was heavy and hard to breathe in.A strange violet energy leaked from cracks in the walls, filling the tunnels with a faint glow.Every few minutes the mountain groaned, it was like stone grinding against stone.Killian walked ahead of me through the narrow hallway. The light from the torches stretched his shadow across the walls.The Lunar Heart glowed clearly beneath his shirt now, pulsing faster and faster.He wasn’t just the Alpha anymore.He looked like the center of a storm that was about to break.We stopped in front of the iron doors of the lowest barracks. Killian kicked the door hard, and the lock broke instantly.Inside, Tanya sat quietly on the edge of her cot with her head lowered.She didn’t move when the door slammed open.She looked empty, like someone who had lost everything.“Stand up, Commander,” Killian said.His voice echoed through the room.Tanya slowly lifted her head. Her eyes widened when she saw the violet veins glowing along Killian’s ne
