บททั้งหมดของ THE LAST HUMAN BLOODLINE: Mated To My Surrogate : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 78

Far beyond Valthera's outermost borders, where the trees grew so densely that moonlight struggled to penetrate their branches, four cloaked figures stood in silence.They had been watching Valthera for hours.Perhaps longer.Time seemed to have little meaning in the ancient forest.The tallest figure stood beneath the twisted branches of an enormous tree, his face hidden beneath a dark hood. Beside him stood three others, equally silent, their cloaks stirring in a wind that did not touch the surrounding leaves.From their position, they could see the distant lights of the kingdom.Valthera slept beneath an ordinary night sky, unaware that the heavens had failed to deliver the celestial event Seraphina and the witches had spent days anticipating."They have begun to notice," one of the figures said, his voice deep and strangely resonant, carrying an age that no ordinary human voice could possess.Another figure turned toward the distant kingdom illuminated by lights."The signs were ne

Aria was lying in bed that afternoon, thinking about the events of that morning, when she glanced over at Kael. He had fallen asleep, his face peaceful and calm as he rested. Her thoughts drifted further. She could still remember the way Kael's thoughts had reached her, warm and clear, as though he were whispering directly into her mind. Even now, she wondered whether it was something she could control or another mysterious ability waiting to reveal itself. A gentle knock on the hospital ward door suddenly interrupted her thoughts. "Are you ready, dear?" Luna Melina asked from the doorway. Aria turned around. "Um, not yet, Ma. Kael is still asleep." Melina's eyes moved towards Kael. "Oh, I thought he would be awake by now. Dr. Ellan is expecting us. I guess I'll just have to come back later." Aria immediately sat up in bed. "I think we should go and see Dr. Ellan. Since he has made time to see us amidst his busy schedule, we can tell Kael what he says when we return

The Council Chamber of Valthera felt so cold when Kael stepped in.Despite the massive fireplace burning in a corner of the room and the air conditioner, which had been adjusted to provide more warmth, the atmosphere was suffocating.At the far end of the room, at the head of the long middle table, stood an elevated platform where the Alpha's seat rested.It was a golden-coloured throne carved from black stone, with silver markings running along its edges, symbols of the bloodline that had ruled Valthera for generations.Kael Blackthorn had occupied that throne since the death of his father, Caleb Blackthorn.Today, however, the elders were looking at the throne as though it no longer belonged to him.Luna Melina followed closely behind him as he entered. Cassian walked on Kael's other side, his expression grim and cold.Dr. Ellan had allowed Kael to attend the meeting on the condition that he would not strain his injury.The moment he stepped into the room, the murmuring among the el

The hospital corridors were quieter than they had been earlier in the day by the time Kael returned from the council meeting. The silence, however, did little to calm the storm raging inside him.Doctor Ellan had insisted that the condition for him to attend the council meeting was that he avoid stressing himself and return to his room to rest immediately afterward. Kael sighed as he walked down the hallway, his mind still trapped in the events that had unfolded in the council chamber, replaying every word, every argument, and every hand that had risen against him.Twelve hands. Twelve elders who had once sworn to protect the interests of Valthera.Twelve people who had considered replacing him before the claims of his infertility had even been confirmed.Kael's jaw tightened as he remembered their expressions.He had fought enemies on battlefields without hesitation and faced threats against his life with a calmness that often unsettled even his warriors.Yet nothing had prepared him
