All Chapters of The Little Canary of the Alpha: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Brielle POV.The hum of the engine filled the silence between us, the streetlights outside casting fleeting streaks of gold and shadow across the interior of the car. I stared straight ahead at the road, my hands folded tightly in my lap, the weight of everything unsaid pressing heavy on my chest. I knew I couldn’t let things stay like this—awkward, charged, and unspoken. It was better to be clear now, to lay everything out before we reached the venue where things would only get more complicated.I turned my head slightly toward him, watching the sharp line of his jaw, the focused set of his shoulders as he drove. “Kael,” I began, my voice soft but steady, cutting through the quiet. “About what you told me a few days ago… when you said you wanted me to be your mate.”He glanced over at me then, just a quick, searching look that seemed to read right through me, before his eyes returned firmly to the road ahead. His expression was unreadable, guarded. “It looks like you’ve already made

Brielle POV.“I wanted to come,” I answered, keeping my voice as steady and polite as I could. “It is a special celebration, and I wanted to be here.”Elvie’s smile widened just a little. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes glinting with curiosity that did not feel friendly at all. She leaned in just a tiny bit, as if she were sharing a secret, but her voice carried clearly enough for those nearby to hear.“That is wonderful,” she said slowly. “But tell me… did Elion get mad at you? Oh, come now. You know why. When I gave you the invitation myself… I half expected him to throw it away or tell you not to come. Did he get angry with you because I invited you here directly?”Her question hung in the air, heavy and loaded. She wanted to make it look like Elion did not want me here, like I had come only because she allowed it, or that Elion was keeping me hidden away. I took a small breath and looked straight at her, my voice clear and calm.“You did hand the invitation to me personally

Brielle POV.The rich taste of wine touched my lips, but I hardly noticed the flavor. My mind was still stuck on every word Luna Celestia had spoken earlier—about my mother being “weird,” about how she chose to stay away from her. Those words circled in my head like a dark cloud, heavy and painful. I felt so stressed and uncomfortable, like something was squeezing my chest tight. Without thinking, I tilted my head back and drank everything in my glass in one long swallow.One glass down.The liquid went down warm and fast, but it did nothing to calm my thoughts. I was so lost in remembering my mother’s sweet face and kind ways, so hurt by what had been said, that I did not see what was happening right in front of me. I did not catch the way Luna Celestia and Elvie glanced at each other the moment I emptied my glass. I missed the small, secret smiles that touched their lips—smiles that looked satisfied and knowing, as if they had been waiting for exactly this to happen. I was too busy

Elion POV.I stood in the quiet hallway, slowly adjusting the front of my crisp white suit. I smoothed the fabric down with steady hands, making sure every fold was perfect. Today was a big celebration for my parents, their anniversary, and everyone else here seemed to be full of joy and excitement. But honestly? Not a single part of me cared about the party, the speeches, or the toasts. My mind was fixed on only one thing. I took a breath, pushed the large double doors open, and stepped into the main hall.As soon as I appeared, the whole room seemed to stop. Every head turned toward me. All eyes were fixed on me. I could feel the weight of their stares—curious, admiring, expectant. People started walking toward me, smiling widely, ready to greet me and offer their congratulations.I lifted one hand gently, palm facing them, to signal them to stop. I gave a small, polite nod to everyone, just enough to be respectful, but I did not slow down or change my path. I walked straight throu

Brielle POV."Are you all looking for me?"My voice was soft, but in that quiet, shocked room, it sounded loud and clear.Every single person inside turned their heads sharply toward the doorway where I stood. I was still wearing the same dress I had on earlier at the party. My hair was a little messy, and my face was still pale, but I was standing straight, awake, and fully conscious. I looked at all of them—at the shocked guests, at the elders with their mouths open, at Renee who looked like she had seen a ghost, and at Luna Celestia who was trembling near the bed.Then, Elion walked quickly toward me. His face looked full of worry and relief, just like a guardian who had been terrified for his ward’s safety. He reached me in a few long steps and stopped right in front of me."Brielle," he said, his voice low and thick with emotion. "Where did you go? We have been searching everywhere for you. We were so worried."I looked straight into his eyes. And inside my mind, I was stunned.‘
