All Chapters of Claimed by My Enemy Alpha: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Kael Blackwood did not move for several seconds.The wind rolled across the cliffside and carried the scent again, faint but unmistakable. His wolf stirred beneath his skin, restless and alert in a way it had never been before.Mate.The word repeated like a low growl in the back of his mind.Kael clenched his jaw.“That is impossible,” he murmured.His wolf disagreed.The scent drifting through the forest carried something strange. Human, yes. But beneath that was something older. Something that did not belong to any pack he knew.Kael turned sharply and began walking back toward the large stone house behind him.By the time he pushed open the front door, several members of his pack were already inside the main hall. Conversations quieted the moment they saw his expression.“Something wrong, Alpha?” one of them asked.Kael ignored the question.“Who entered our territory today?” he said.The pack exchanged brief looks.“No one reported crossing the border,” another wolf answered.Kae

Aria barely had time to react before Kael pulled her inside.The door slammed shut behind them with enough force to rattle the windows. For a moment the house fell into complete silence except for the rapid beat of her heart.She pulled her wrist free.“Okay,” she said sharply. “You’re going to explain what that meant.”Kael moved toward the window and glanced through the glass toward the forest.His expression had turned completely serious.“They shouldn’t have reached this area yet,” he murmured.“That doesn’t answer my question.”Aria stepped closer.“You said my father’s pack.”Kael turned toward her.“Yes.”“My father doesn’t have a pack,” she replied.“He does.”“Not unless he secretly runs a wildlife sanctuary.”Kael studied her carefully.“Your father is Alpha Darius Hale.”The name meant nothing to her.“I’ve never heard of him.”“I know.”“Then how can you possibly know that he’s my father?”Kael hesitated briefly.“Because you smell like him.”Aria stared at him.“That migh

The howl echoed across the mountains again.This time it lasted longer, rolling through the forest like distant thunder. Even after the sound faded, the air around the house felt heavy and tense.Aria looked toward the dark treeline.“That didn’t sound like the wolves that were here earlier.”Kael shook his head slowly.“It wasn’t.”“Then what was it?”Kael’s jaw tightened.“That was an Alpha call.”Aria blinked.“A what?”“The kind of call an Alpha uses to gather his pack.”She stared at him.“You’re telling me my father is summoning an army.”Kael didn’t answer immediately.He walked toward the broken doorway and looked out into the forest again. The wind carried scents across the clearing, and every one of them made his wolf restless.“They’re already moving,” he said quietly.Aria felt a knot tighten in her stomach.“How many wolves are we talking about?”“Enough.”“That’s not a number.”“It’s the only one that matters.”Aria ran a hand through her hair.“This is ridiculous.”Kael

The clearing did not feel welcoming anymore.Aria stood slightly behind Kael as the wolves continued staring at her, their expressions shifting between curiosity, suspicion, and something sharper she could not quite name.Hostility.No one spoke for a moment.Then the same woman who had questioned Kael earlier stepped forward again. Her gaze moved over Aria slowly, taking in every detail as though searching for something she could not find.“She doesn’t look like one of them,” the woman said.Aria raised an eyebrow.“One of who exactly?”The woman ignored her and looked directly at Kael.“She smells human,” she repeated.Kael’s voice remained calm.“She’s not.”That only made things worse.The wolves exchanged glances, their unease growing.Aria felt it clearly now. She was not just an outsider here. She was something they didn’t trust.And they weren’t trying to hide it.“Maybe someone should actually explain what’s going on,” Aria said, folding her arms. “Because so far I’ve been ch

The growl outside did not fade. It deepened instead, low and continuous, like something alive pressing against the edges of Kael’s territory. Aria felt it in her chest, not fear this time, but pressure that made it harder to breathe.Every wolf in the room reacted at once. Some moved toward the doors while others shifted where they stood, their bodies tightening as instinct took over. Kael didn’t move immediately. He stood still for a moment, almost unnaturally still, and then everything about him changed.“Positions,” he said.The word cut clean through the room. There was no hesitation and no confusion. The wolves moved instantly, forming structure out of what had been tension only seconds before. Aria watched it happen in real time as calm turned into coordination and chaos into control. This wasn’t panic. This was preparation.She looked at Kael, something uneasy settling in her chest. “You’ve done this before.”“Yes.”His voice was calm. Too calm.Her stomach tightened. “How bad i
