All Chapters of THE ALPHA TWINS: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

KAEL'S POVThe war room had never been so full.Every commander in the pack stood around the massive wooden table while Liam marked locations across the map with pieces of charcoal. Scouts came and went every few minutes, bringing reports from every corner of our territory.No one spoke above a whisper.The disappearance of my mother had shaken the pack.Her escape had given them hope.But hope alone wouldn't win a war.I looked around the room."They're expecting us to panic."Liam nodded."They're expecting us to charge straight into the Coven.""And that's exactly why we won't."The witch doctor folded her hands inside her robes."Seraphine has already prepared her strongest defenses.""She's waiting for you."I looked at the map again."If she's waiting...""...then we'll make her come to us."One of the warriors frowned."Alpha, how?"A slow smile spread across my face."We give her something she can't ignore."The room fell silent."The twins?"Liam asked.I shook my head."No."

KAEL'S POVMorning arrived without bloodshed.That alone was enough to make everyone uneasy.The warriors had remained on patrol throughout the night, yet not a single witch had crossed into our territory. No dark magic had been sensed. No attacks. No strange disappearances.Nothing.And somehow...That frightened me more.I stood on the balcony overlooking the training grounds as Liam approached."Alpha."I turned to him."Report.""The northern patrol found nothing.""The eastern border is clear.""The western forest is quiet.""And the southern pass?"He shook his head."Not a trace of the Coven."I frowned."They're too quiet.""My thoughts exactly."Before either of us could continue, a loud caw echoed overhead.A black raven swooped down from the sky and landed on the stone railing just a few feet away from me.Neither Liam nor I moved.The bird wasn't afraid.It simply stared at me with unusually intelligent eyes.Then it lifted one foot.Something was tied around its leg.Liam

KIARA'S POVThe silence inside the pack felt different after Seraphine's voice echoed through Rowan's nursery.It wasn't the peaceful kind.It was heavy.Oppressive.As though something unseen had settled over our home.The witch doctor had spent hours cleansing every room with herbs and ancient symbols while Olivia whispered protective spells over the twins. Every warrior remained on high alert, searching every corner of the estate for traces of dark magic.They found nothing.Absolutely nothing.Yet none of us could shake the feeling that Seraphine had already accomplished exactly what she'd intended.I tried to convince myself everything would be alright.I had to.For Rowan….For Ryder…..For Kael.Especially Kael.He hadn't spoken much since that night.At first, I blamed exhaustion.The burden of leading the pack while worrying about his mother, our sons, and the war with the Coven would have crushed anyone.But by the next morning...Something felt wrong.Very wrong.I carried bre

KIARA'S POVI couldn't breathe.The witch doctor's words echoed over and over inside my head."The curse has begun feeding on your bond."I instinctively looked at Kael.He was looking at me too.For a long moment, neither of us spoke.The fear in his eyes mirrored my own.Finally, Kael broke the silence."How long?"The witch doctor lowered her gaze."I don't know.""It could be days.""It could be weeks.""It depends on how much power Seraphine pours into the curse."Olivia stepped forward, her face unusually calm despite the gravity of the situation."There has to be a way to stop it.""There is," the witch doctor replied."But it won't be easy."Kael's jaw tightened."Tell us.""The curse survives on negative emotions.""Doubt.""Fear.""Suspicion.""It feeds every time either of you begins questioning the other."I frowned."So if we refuse to let it divide us...""It weakens."The witch doctor nodded."But that alone won't destroy it."Kael crossed his arms."What will?"She hesit

KIARA'S POVI watched from the nursery window as Kael and Celeste crossed the courtyard together.He wasn't smiling the way he used to smile at me.But he wasn't pushing her away either.That hurt more than I wanted to admit.Only a few weeks ago, Kael couldn't go an hour without finding some excuse to be near me. He would steal kisses when no one was looking, wrap an arm around my waist as we walked through the pack, or insist on carrying one of the twins simply because he wanted to be close to us.Now...It felt as though an invisible wall had been built between us.I looked down at Rowan sleeping peacefully in my arms while Ryder lay beside him in the crib."I know your father is still in there," I whispered. "And I'm going to bring him back."A soft knock sounded.The witch doctor stepped inside, followed by Chloe.The moment our eyes met, Chloe lowered her head."I know you probably don't want to see me," she murmured.I shook my head."If you're here to help, then come in."The wit
