บททั้งหมดของ Ice Claimed: The Alpha’s Obsession: บทที่ 181 - บทที่ 190

“My own boots will navigate the route to the medical bay without an escort,” Ethan rumbled, his massive form shifting away from the iron toolkit as his amber eyes narrowed in defensive pride.“Are your tracks familiar with the administrative layout of this Skydrivee facility?” I countered sharply, sealing the latches of the medical kit with a heavy snap. “My office maintains direct clearance with the head physicians. My runners can bypass the standard triage queue to secure an immediate scan. If your pride insists on navigating the automated intake lines alone, your wolf will remain stranded in the waiting sector until the solstice moon cycles out completely.”The supreme Alpha’s jaw tightened, his tongue failing to produce an immediate retort.Despite the vast territories controlled by Silvercrest Holdings, this mountain outpost was completely outside his administrative jurisdiction. His northern alliances carried immense weight within the Mysticfall borders, but within this specific

“Didn’t your system indicate a severe requirement for fuel? Move your boots toward the dining hall and absorb some meat first,” Ethan rumbled, his thick fingers carefully avoiding the cooling dressing I had just secured over his battered forehead.“My own tracks are redirecting toward the main wardrobe to reorganize the gear,” I countered, my voice dropping to a sharp, clinical register as I measured his towering stature against the narrow walls. “Your massive frame will occupy my master quarters for this rotation. My own sleeping skin will be deployed within the modified storage cell down the corridor.”“If the allocation of space has reached such a severe deficit, my own leathers will remain confined to the smaller cell,” Ethan shot back, his amber eyes narrowing as he flatly rejected the structural displacement of my station. “The contact with the timber beam during the morning watch was an isolated environmental hazard. My spatial calculations will adjust; my skull will remain ful

“The tactical reality is that this entire perimeter now reeked of infant fluid,” I muttered, my boots shifting on the floorboards as the scent of sour milk dominated the small chamber.Ethan retreated into the adjacent washroom to scrub his bare chest. I carefully deposited Robert onto the center of the platform, extracting a moistened linen cloth from my belt to clear the white foam from his lower jaw. “Little warrior, does your spirit find amusement in testing the nerve of the supreme Alpha? Your violent rejection of that milk vessel completely shattered his combat composure. His record contains zero cowardice, yet your fragile state left his system completely destabilized.”I unfastened the infant’s soiled training cloth, applying a fresh leather wrap to his frame. The moment the clean binding was secured, Robert’s lips curved into a rare, tranquil expression. It lacked the vocal tone of a full laugh, manifesting instead as a silent, knowing smile.“Did your eyes just target your s

“Papa! Elevate me to your shoulders! Observe the male scout in our vanguard—he has the pup perched on his own shoulders! I demand you elevate me to that same position!” Layla gestured toward the pair navigating the path before us, her voice vibrating with intense envy.Ethan bypassed any analytical deliberation, his massive hands gripping Layla’s waist to hoist her atop his shoulders.Layla erupted in a shriek of pure adrenaline. “Daddy! My height is superior! I have eclipsed her level! Ha! Will your sled transport our unit back to the rinks for another expedition in the next rotation?”“An absolute certainty.” Ethan’s expression softened into a rare, genuine light, his jaw relaxing as he affirmed the scout’s request.I observed the internal exchange from the periphery. A warm, unfamiliar pressure expanded in my chest; my palm moved to my tunic, extracting the recording device to secure the image of the moment. The instant the shutter clicked, a brilliant cascade of pyrotechnics ignit

“My sanity remains intact, Tyler.”Chloe stared into Tyler’s face, her tone eerily measured. “My tactical calculation indicates Ethan is experiencing a high-level euphoria with Collins at this exact marker. Refrain from transmitting this data to their frequency and disrupting their velocity. I will permit them to navigate their paradise for a few more rotations!”“Oh, your system is stable. I am the one experiencing a data error, or perhaps Ethan’s regulators have completely failed!”“Your emotional output would not reach this magnitude if my facial tissue remained uncompromised, correct? Your previous evaluations stated I was uniquely qualified for the highest tier of alpha males. Your own words positioned Ethan and my vanguard as an elite match.” Chloe let out a dry, hollow laugh. “Now that my structures are ruined, your system codes me as unworthy.”“Do you truly believe your aesthetic shell is the determining factor, Chloe? If Collins were the one who suffered a structural collaps
