Lahat ng Kabanata ng THE WRONG VOW, MY PERFECT ALPHA: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

KAELI felt a pull before I understood it. It wasn’t physical, nor was it even visible, but it was deep enough that my attention fractured mid-sentence as I sat at the council table. The room was still speaking—voices layered over each other in careful politeness—but the sound faded like it had been pushed behind glass.My hand tightened around the edge of the document in front of me.“Alpha Kael?”I didn’t answer, the pull sharpened.It wasn’t pain exactly. It was awareness turned wrong, like the bond had been pulled taut and then snapped halfway back into place, trembling under strain. My wolf lifted immediately, restless under my ribs, pacing in tight circles that had no direction.I pushed my chair back and every head at the table turned. “Continue without me,” I said flatly, already rising.One of the elders frowned. “Alpha, we’re still discussing border allocations—”“I said continue without me.” My voice didn’t rise, but the temperature in the room dropped anyway. No one stoppe

LENAFor a second after the impact, the room didn’t behave like a room anymore.The sound of Kael hitting the wall still echoed in my ears, sharp and final, like the estate itself had absorbed the force and was now holding it against me in silence. My breath stopped halfway in my throat as reality snapped back into place in uneven pieces.Kael.The name hit my mind before logic followed it, and when it did, my stomach dropped so fast it felt like I had missed a step on stairs that weren’t there.“No—” I moved instantly, the word breaking apart as I rushed forward. “Kael.”He was still upright, which somehow made it worse. One hand braced against the wall where he had struck it, head slightly angled down as if he was assessing damage the way someone might assess a minor inconvenience. The controlled stillness in him didn’t match what I had just done. It never matched what I had just done.My hands reached for him before I could think better of it. “I didn’t— I thought you were—”His he

LENAI had started learning the rhythm of Kael’s world, even if I didn’t like the sound of it.It wasn’t just power. It was restraint wrapped so tightly around authority that most people in the room didn’t realize they were already being controlled before they even spoke. I noticed it more clearly now—the way conversations paused half a beat too long when he entered, the way chairs shifted subtly to make space that wasn’t asked for, the way even disagreement was delivered carefully, like it might be remembered later and still, they spoke.The council chamber was colder than I expected, all stone and elevated seating arranged in a wide arc that forced attention toward the center platform where Kael sat. I sat slightly behind and to his right, positioned there without discussion, as if the placement had been decided long before I arrived and no one had bothered to explain it to me.That was fine. I was getting used to not being explained to.Kael had been speaking for the last ten minut

PRINCE ADRIAN I woke up in a good mood or at least that’s what I told myself. The kingdom was stable and the nobles approved of Cara.  The scandal that came with being mated to someone as lowly as Lena Ashford was fading. The court had moved on. Everything was proceeding exactly as planned. I wasn’t stuck with a weak servant and I had gotten rid of her, thankfully the moon goddess passed her to someone else. Not my problem. No embarrassment, no whispering from the court and most importantly, no burden.  Cara was beautiful, charming and everything a f

LENAI was still asleep when the door slammed open. Cold air rushed into the room and dragged me straight out of my dreams.I groaned.“Get up.”That voice, I needed no one to tell me it was Kael plus who else would barge into my room at this time of the day?I opened one eye slowly, glaring at him from under the blanket. “It’s not even morning.”“It is training time.”“I didn’t agree to training at sunrise.”“You didn’t agree to almost dying either.”That shut me up for half a second then I threw a pillow at his head.He didn’t even bother dodging, it hit him and dropped harmlessly to the floor.“Do you enjoy ruining people’s sleep?” I snapped.“Only those who survive it,” he said calmly, then he turned and walked out. “Five minutes.”The door shut behind him and I just sat there staring at it.“I hate him,” I muttered.I still got up, unfortunately.**The training grounds were already cold when I arrived, it was too open and too quiet.Kael was waiting impatiently and immediately h
