All Chapters of The Alpha's Rare Omega Heir : Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Elias Vale PovSomewhere beyond our reach, the people who had taken our son were already moving to make the prepared story become the only story the world would hear.I sat on the edge of the damaged bed in the secure suite, the empty sling still folded in my hands. The room smelled of smoke and dust. The bond that had once held three of us now held only two. The silence where Rowan should have been was constant and cold.Kael stood near the broken door, speaking quietly into the radio. Search teams were still moving through the northern tree line and the outer grounds. No new tracks had been found since the first hours after the attack. The group that took Rowan had prepared their exit well.I stared at the empty crib. Every time I reached for the bond, I found nothing. The absence made it hard to breathe.Kael ended the call and came to me. He sat beside me and took the sling from my hands, setting it aside.“Riven’s teams found the handoff point,” he said. “Northern tree line, jus

Elias Vale PovWe would not accept the silence. We would not accept the lie. And we would keep hunting until we found the path that led to our son.I sat in the command room as the first search reports of the day came in. The team sent to the old logging road had found more traces—three additional empty vials and a set of disturbed leaves where a covered vehicle had waited. The trail moved east for another two miles and then disappeared again on hard ground. It was still thin, but it was more than we had the day before.Kael stood over the map, marking the new points. His face was set and tired. Neither of us had slept more than an hour at a time since Rowan was taken.“They’re moving him in short stages,” Kael said. “Different vehicles. Strong blockers. They know we will follow any clear scent.”I watched the marks on the map. “East is toward the neutral trading routes. If they reach open roads, the trail will be harder to hold.”“Then we reach them before they get that far.”Ri

Elias Vale PovAs long as the trail held, we had a way to reach him.I sat in the command room with the updated map open in front of me. The marks from the river mill now continued along the old mining track into the higher forest. The forward teams had moved through the night and sent three short reports. The trail was still broken and carefully covered, but it had not ended. That fact was the only thing keeping me steady.Kael stood on the other side of the table, reading the same reports. Neither of us had slept more than an hour at a time. The silence in the bond where Rowan should have been remained constant and cold. Every time I reached for him, I found nothing.“They’re staying on the mining track,” Kael said. “Hard ground. Fewer marks. They’re trying to make the next stretch cleaner.”“They’re still leaving signs,” I answered. “They have to stop and change vehicles or cloth. Each stop risks another trace.”Riven entered with the latest field update. His jacket carried the sm

Elias Vale PovRowan was still ahead of us, and we were still coming.I sat in the command room with the map spread wide in front of me. The trail from the river mill through the mining track now reached farther into the higher forest. The newest marks from the rock shelf and the fallen stone were clear enough to follow. The forward teams had not lost the line during the night. That single fact kept me from breaking.Kael stood across the table, reading the same reports. The silence in the bond where Rowan should have been remained absolute. Every time I reached for him, the empty place answered. It never changed.“They’re still moving northeast,” Kael said. “The holding line the cut-out mentioned sits in the same direction. If that information is real, they’re trying to reach it before we close the gap.”I looked at the thin chain of marks. “Then we close it before they settle.”Riven entered with the first light of morning on his clothes. He brought the direct update from the forwar

Elias Vale PovThe path was still there, and every mark on it told us Rowan was still ahead of us.I sat in the command room with the map open under the early light. The newest marks from the cluster of pines continued the thin line farther northeast. The forward teams had held the trail through the night and sent two short reports before dawn. The signs remained weak, but they had not disappeared. That was enough to keep me moving.Kael stood on the other side of the table. The silence in the bond where Rowan should have been sat between us without change. Every time I reached for our son, the empty place answered. It never softened.“They’re still on the rising ground,” Kael said. “No clean break. They’re trying to keep the gap without giving us a clear turn.”I looked at the chain of points. “The upper line the handler spoke of sits in this same direction. If they reach it, the trail may end.”“Then we do not let them settle.”Riven entered with the direct update from the forward
