All Chapters of Moon bound to the ruthless alpha: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

It came from somewhere above me, sharp enough to cut through every other sound surrounding me. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe. I simply stood there in the darkness, my back pressed against the cold stone door, listening as that single scream tore through the underground chamber.“Mother?”My voice came out weak, almost unrecognizable.I pushed myself away from the door and slammed both hands against it.“Mother!”There was no answer.Only another explosion of noise from above.A heavy crash shook dust from the ceiling, followed by the unmistakable sound of wolves snarling and men shouting. The battle had already been raging for what felt like hours, but until that moment, I had still held on to the hope that my parents were winning. My father was the strongest Alpha I had ever known. Ironfang had always been feared because of him. No enemy had ever dared to enter our territory and believe they would walk away alive.But now I had heard my mother’s scream.Something inside me changed.

Anna’s POVI couldn’t bring myself to say anything as Kael’s story stayed between us beneath the maple tree, hanging in the cool night air, long after his voice had fallen silent. I kept replaying every word in my head, every detail he had trusted me enough to share. I had spent so much time looking at Kael Nightshade and seeing the ruthless Alpha everyone else seemed to fear. The man who rarely smiled, rarely spoke more than necessary, and carried himself as though nothing in this world could reach him. I had wondered more than once how someone could become so cold, so controlled, so frighteningly detached.Now I understand that he that I wasn't born that way.Someone had taken that softness from him.My chest tightened as I looked at him sitting beside me, his gaze lowered toward the ground. The moonlight caught the sharp lines of his face, but for the first time, I wasn’t seeing the Alpha everyone bowed to. I was seeing the boy beneath him. The boy who had been forced to survive s

I caught up with Emma just before she reached the tents.“Emma!”She glanced over her shoulder and immediately burst into another fit of laughter.“Oh, no.” She picked up her pace. “I don’t want to hear it.”“Emma, stop!”“I am not stopping!”I finally caught up with her and grabbed her arm, pulling her toward the side of the path before anyone else could hear us. She stumbled to a stop, still laughing so hard that she had to place one hand against her stomach.“You are so annoying,” I whispered, looking around to make sure nobody had followed us. “Why are you laughing like that?”She stared at me for a second, then covered her mouth as another laugh escaped.“Anna, I walked into the forest looking for you and found you sitting on the Alpha’s lap with your hands in his hair.”My face immediately heated.“It wasn’t—”She raised a finger.“Don’t.”I pressed my lips together.“You don’t even know what happened.”“I know enough.” She leaned closer, lowering her voice dramatically. “Enough to

Anna’s pov Kael pulled back the flap of his glamping tent, I followed him inside, and I stopped just a few steps in.I had expected it to be comfortable, maybe a little more spacious than the tents the others were using, but this was nothing like I imagined. The inside was huge, carefully designed to feel more like a small luxury room than a tent in the middle of the woods. Warm lights hung from the wooden frame, casting a soft glow over everything. There was a small sitting area on one side, a low table with a few things neatly arranged on it, and thick rugs covering most of the floor. But what caught my attention most was the large king-sized bed in the center of the tent.I looked around slowly, taking it all in.“This is a tent?” I asked, unable to hide the surprise in my voice.Kael chuckled softly. “It’s technically a tent.”I looked at him. “Technically?”He shrugged. “I like being comfortable.”That sounded exactly like something Kael would say.I turned back toward the bed,

Anna’s POVKael was already gone when I woke up.I turned toward his side of the bed and found nothing but an empty space where he had been sleeping only a few hours ago. I sat up, pushing my hair away from my face as I looked around the quiet room.He must have left early.I couldn’t help wondering if he had even looked back before leaving. After the way things had been between us lately, I wasn’t sure what to make of him anymore. One minute, he made me feel like I was the only person in the room, and the next, he acted as though keeping his distance was the easiest thing in the world.I sighed and pushed the thought away.I wasn’t going to spend the morning trying to figure out what was going on inside Kael’s head.I got out of bed and started getting ready, deciding that whatever the day brought, I would deal with it when it came.When I stepped outside, I immediately realized that everyone was already awake and busy.The ceremony area from the night before looked completely differen
