All Chapters of The Alpha's Unwanted Plus-Size Bride: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

After a brief pause, Caelan’s dark voice filled the bedchamber over the glowing red comm-crystal. "Also, stop calling my personal crystal in the middle of the night from now on. My human mate is a light sleeper, and she has a sharp temper. If she wakes from the noise, I have to spend half the night coaxing her because her wolf-less stubbornness makes her impossible to soothe."Without waiting for her reply, he severed the crystal connection and tossed the stone onto the floor.Gazing back at me, his silver eyes flashed with a dark, satisfied glint. "Are you satisfied now, little one?"I rolled my eyes, pulling my heavy frame back against the headboard. "You have a few screws loose in that Alpha brain of yours."I burrowed under the thick wolf-skin blankets, turning my back to him. He slid in behind me immediately, his large, hot hand wrapping over my stomach as he rained low, possessive kisses along my jaw line.It was long past midnight, so I closed my eyes, trying to force my human

I did not know how to console a wolf who had just watched his blood-mother leap to her death, so all I could do was offer him quiet reminders of his pack duty.Lifting a brow, his silver eyes flashed with cold, predatory anger. "Are you not staying in my quarters tonight, human?"After a long pause, I shook my head, my heavy frame shifting toward the wooden archway.I pulled my cloak tightly around my shoulders and left his house.So many unexpected tragedies had struck the territory in a single day. By the time my carriage pulled up to the main iron gates of the Royal Alpha Quarter, it was long past midnight.Before my carriage even rolled to a halt outside the courtyard, I spotted a tall figure standing by the heavy stone doorway. He was a massive, imposing male. Under the dim glow of the moon-crystal lamps, he looked like a weary Alpha returning from war.After stepping out of the carriage, I stood beneath the stone archway. Rain had begun to drizzle over the capital once more.Cae

Having nothing else to occupy my restless mind, I bound his pack registration number to the rune feed on his behalf.Just as the archive initialized, the crystal array vibrated aggressively in my hand, glowing with a bright golden light that signaled an incoming voice transmission.It was Osric Fenwick.The water was still running heavily behind the stone partition as Caelan washed. I called out to inform him, and he grunted through the steam for me to answer it.Before I could even press my finger to the rune to speak, Osric’s panicked voice blasted through the crystal speaker. “Caelan, what in the Goddess's name are you doing?! Why haven't you answered my mind-link or crystal calls for the past two hours?!”I opened my mouth to explain that his Alpha was currently in the washbasin, but Osric didn't pause for a single breath.Osric continued ranting frantically, “We have a massive disaster at the Silvermoon Grand Healing Temple! The southern district branch is being mobbed by low-tie

We were separated by entire human kingdoms and dangerous wolf territories. I wasn't too sure if Torin was being honest with me, so I gripped my communication mirror tightly and said, “Torin, give me your exact coordinates in the northern human lands. I will take a pack carriage and come over for a visit in two moons. I need to see her newborn pup with my own eyes.”“The mountain frost is far too severe right now, Elowen, and your human body falls sick at the slightest chill,” Torin replied hurriedly, his voice filled with sudden panic. “The northern human lands are infinitely colder than Silvermoon Capital. Your lungs wouldn't handle the mountain air. Just wait until Seren’s body recovers and the pup grows a bit older, then we will ride back to the territory together.” At that exact moment, the faint, sharp cry of a newborn babe echoed through the link. “The pup is crying in the inner chamber. I must go to them now. I will send a rune-picture of the babe to your mirror shortly. I am b

“You really do not know how to comfort a human heart at all, Caelan,” I said, freeing myself from his tight hold and exhaling a sharp breath before chuckling softly.He mirrored my small smile, his silver eyes glowing with a warm, possessive intensity as he looked down at my plus-size frame. “I will endeavor to do better next time, my Luna.”I giggled softly, forcing myself to swallow a few more bites of roasted meat despite my lingering lack of appetite. Knowing he was slated to ride out for an inspection of the border garrisons tomorrow morning, we had planned to head straight back to our private villa after dinner.However, the communication mirror on Caelan’s belt began to glow blue repeatedly. Selene Thorncroft’s panicked voice echoed through the link, practically begging the two of us to return to the Stormfang estate together to assist with final evening arrangements. Caelan was clearly reluctant to spend another hour in that mourning house, but her desperate, tearful pleas lef
