All Chapters of The Alpha's Unwanted Plus-Size Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Mrs. Eriksen’s hurried footsteps echo down the stone corridor as she rushes toward the kitchens.Staring down at the untouched, steaming bowl of medicinal broth, I sink back into the chair, lost in the bitter dark of my own thoughts. I was born into this world without receiving an ounce of warmth or affection. The fragile human life I carried in my bloodline was always treated as a flaw, and the so-called bonds I encountered later were no different.In truth, I have never known real familial love, let alone the possessive, soul-deep affection High Alphas claim to give their mates. I never learned how to navigate love, nor was I ever taught how to hold another heart.My human grandmother adopted me, shielding my weak nature from the harsh realities of the wolf packs. In those few brief winters before her death, she showed me what true care meant. To me, her soft touch was the only template of love I ever knew.On the flip side, Garrick Whitlock’s extreme, unyielding obsession with the

“Caelan,” I call out, my voice rough, scraping like dry parchment against the back of my raw throat. “About the ambush at the Frostfang Refuge... when you rushed Isolde Ashbourne out of the territory while the Thorncroft Alpha Dominion spiraled into a sudden emergency. Were those incidents truly just tragic coincidences, or were they meticulously staged steps in your grand plan?”Sitting on the edge of the velvet blanket, Caelan’s sharp jaw locks tight. His golden wolf eyes narrow into lethal, amber slits as he fixes me with an unyielding, intense stare. “Are you suggesting I deliberately orchestrated a crisis to use my own pregnant mate as a scapegoat?”A hollow, heavy ache blooms in my chest, threatening to crush what little breath remains in my lungs. “From the moment I was brought into the Alpha Dominion District, I was tasked with managing territorial trade alliances. I never handled internal audits or pack treasury oversight. Yet, the moment I finalized the agreement with Dr. Lu

“Ignore his arrogant demands,” I murmur into the crystal, leaning my back against the icy stone pillar of the balcony while keeping my voice low. “Are you still stationed in the human territory, Torin?”Torin Wolfsbane and I went through the intense trials at the Moonfang Academy Grounds together. After we passed our martial assessments, he crossed the border into human lands to deepen his knowledge of psychological warfare. I, on the other hand, withdrew from pack life, burying my human weakness beneath the shadow of my marriage to Caelan Thorncroft.Torin’s boisterous, rough laugh echoes over the crystal link. “Of course, female! Are you still brooding inside Silvermoon Capital? How is that human body of yours holding up under the Alpha’s oppressive bond?”I squeeze my eyes shut, rubbing my throbbing temples as a fresh wave of exhaustion washes over me. “I am fine. When do you plan to cross back over the pack borders?”“Very soon.” The sound of liquid sloshing against a glass fills

“Did you enjoy tearing my skin open with your teeth, High Alpha, or were you just marking your territory?”I force the harsh words past my sore throat, stepping out of the adjoining wash chamber as water droplets trail down my heavy, plus-size curves. The warm spray had stung furiously against the bloody bite mark on my neck—a bitter reminder of Caelan’s unbridled wolfish dominance before he left for his desk.Caelan Thorncroft does not even look up from the territorial scrolls laid across his massive carved oak desk. The dark pine and ozone of his Alpha scent still saturates the air of our bedchamber, heavy and suffocating. “You survived it, Elowen. Get back into bed.”I press a palm over the prominent five-moon swell of my stomach, my human body aching with a bone-deep exhaustion that no amount of sleep can fix. Without a wolf to process the physical toll of carrying a High Alpha’s hybrid heir, every hour feels like a slow, crushing weight. I collapse onto the velvet-draped mattress
