All Chapters of THE ALPHA’S FIRST FALL 2: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Vanessa's bitter outburst did not catch me off guard.That sun, when she flat-out refused to enter the shamanic chamber, I could see her stubborn, hateful streak. But my wolf was still taken aback by the raw venom in her voice.Andrew wrapped his massive arm around my frame, giving my shoulders a firm, protective squeeze before his voice cut through the air. "You are overthinking this, Aunt Vanessa. Bringing these spirit-blossoms was my idea. My mate gathered them himself to show our respect."Vanessa collapsed back against her mountain-fur bedding, her chest heaving as her clouded, ruined eyes turned toward Andrew's voice."Lord Wolfe... you visit my chamber today and bring your disgraced mate along," she rasped, her voice trembling with dark resentment. "What message are you trying to send to my broken line? Just spit it out."Andrew released my hand and stepped forward. He bent his large frame, taking Vanessa's frail, bruised fingers into his own—the hand bearing his silver Alpha s

"Lord Wolfe must possess deep devotion to consider the warmth of your heavy ceremonial furs, Lord Monroe.""Indeed, I have served in the Sacred Loom for many winter cycles, and it is the first time an Alpha King has demanded double-lined shadow-silk just to protect his mate from the frost. Truly a rare bond."In the fitting chamber of the Sacred Loom, two high weavers were assisting me with my ceremonial robes, their faces filled with undisguised envy.I offered a faint, bashful smile, my hand instinctively resting over the slight swell of my lower belly. "He is simply accustomed to taking charge of my life. My inner wolf is carrying his heir, and if a fever strikes my body during the frost moon, it creates trouble for the entire pack. He tends to overthink these matters."My mind drifted back to our early pup cycles at Wolfe Crest Estate, long before the war and Redstone dragged us through hell. Back when the younger wolves in the training courtyard refused to wear thick leather unde

"Is it gonna hurt?"Andrew lifted his gaze, his golden eyes narrowing slightly, deeply staring at me in the harsh light of the early morning."Lord Monroe, you think so highly of my beast?""What do you mean?" I asked, feeling perplexity ripple through my bond, my eyes soft and clear as I leaned against the massive headboard of the primary chamber at Wolfe Crest Estate.The Alpha King's lips curved slightly, his heavy dark scent filling my lungs. "You think my stamina and intensity inside your wet body could surpass your daily training routines in the martial court?"My cheeks flushed crimson, and I playfully slammed my fist against his broad, bare shoulder. "Just be careful with my belly, okay?""Yeah, you are quite the handful, little mate. If you have so much faith in my cock, wait until our heir arrives, and I will prove how long I can hold my knot inside you."His voice was a rough growl, whispering against my jawline, his mouth scorching hot as it trailed down my throat to leave

"I definitely did not write this forge," I said, my voice ringing clear against the cold stone of the hospital corridor."There is no way my mate wrote this document!"My words smashed directly into Andrew Wolfe's deep, authoritative roar. I froze for a fraction of a second, not expecting our voices to overlap so seamlessly before the entire gathered court.The Alpha King turned his head, his golden eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that burned straight through my chest. My wolf stirred, a sudden ache of relief blooming in my throat.He believed me. Without a single second of hesitation, Andrew stood beside me."Lord Wolfe, your godmother was nearly driven into a blood-frenzy by this shock!" Damon Hawthorne barked, taking a furious step toward us, his hand clutching his ceremonial daggers. "This document was written to drain the last of Lady Barbara's life force! You cannot shield this Redstone convict from justice!"I stepped past Andrew's broad shoulder, holding my head high

"I am not canceling my own mating ritual," I said, my voice cutting through the dark silence of the bedroom, sharp and cold as a winter blade.I looked out the floor-to-ceiling window of Wolfe Crest Estate, my pulse hammering against my ribs while my inner wolf paced in frustrated circles. The golden mate bond in my chest stretched thin, aching with every second Andrew remained away."You are out of your mind, Lanka!" Carllo yelled, stepping into the dim light of the room and shoving a steaming cup of warm goat's milk into my hands. "Look at you! You are pale as a ghost, carrying his pup, and that Alpha is gallivanting through the northern mountains while you stand here frozen!""He gave me his word, Carllo," I murmured, my thumb tracing the silver rim of the cup. "He said he would be back before the dusk sun hits Grand Meridian Hall.""His word isn't worth a dead rogue's hide!" Carllo spat, crossing his arms over his chest, his eyes flashing with protective rage. "I spoke to Daniel C
