All Chapters of The Alpha’s Greatest Blindness: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

The next report from the deeper-level watch arrived before the sealed wing had settled from the last one.I stayed in the inner room with the connecting door open, the silver cuff locked in that same hard heat against my wrist. The Burden sat high and steady under my skin, turned downward with the cuff, tracking the pressure under the packed stone the same way it had once tracked the residual on the second girl. Every fresh pulse from below registered as a thin answering pull through the silver.Kael received the runner in the outer room. The captain’s face carried the tight look of a man who had left a worsening situation and expected to return to a worse one.“The hairline crack has lengthened,” the captain said. “Fine dust is continuous on two junctions now. A third section of packed stone shows new stress marks. We shored the first crack from this side. It is holding for the moment. The pressure behind the stone is not steady anymore. It comes in slow surges, as if something is te

The seam did not stay narrow for long.I felt the next surge in the cuff before the deeper-level watch could send a runner. The silver locked hard against my wrist, and the Burden rose with it in a single steep climb that left my ears ringing. I gripped the bedframe and held on until the pressure levelled again, higher still than the last baseline. Through the open connecting door I heard Kael already giving orders, voice low and absolute, before the captain from below had fully crossed the outer threshold.“Report.”“The seam widened during the surge,” the captain said. His breathing was rough from the run. “We could not collapse it cleanly without risking the upper join. We shored both sides and posted a permanent watch on the gap. Cold air is still coming through. The dust is heavier. The surge pattern is tighter than an hour ago. The watch believes the next strong one will test a second section of packed stone further along the same junction.”Kael’s uninjured hand rested flat on

The order to collapse the side section left the sealed wing in a different kind of silence.I stayed in the inner room with the connecting door open, both hands closed around the silver cuff. The heat against my wrist sat hard and steady, tracking the deeper junctions the same way it had tracked every surge since the residual collapsed. The Burden under my skin stayed high and aligned, turned downward toward the packed stone and the grinding pressure that was no longer theoretical. Through the open doorway I could see Kael at the table, charcoal in his uninjured hand, marking the second seam and the planned collapse on the deeper map with short, precise strokes.He had not sat down since the second seam report. The clean bandages along his ribs and arm still held, but the careful way he breathed said the cost of the extraction and the unbroken watch had settled deeper than cloth could cover. Elder Orion stood at the side of the table with the containment fragments, saying nothing. The

The order to drop the weak stretch went out while the grinding under the keep was still gathering weight.I stayed in the inner room with the connecting door open, both hands closed around the silver cuff. The heat against my wrist sat hard and constant, tracking the deeper junctions and the slow, heavy pressure that had replaced the earlier short surges. The Burden under my skin stayed high and aligned, turned downward toward the packed stone that was about to fall. Through the open doorway I could see Kael at the table, the deeper map marked with the first seam, the buried second seam, the planned drop, and the outer slope positions under the dark marker. He stood with his uninjured hand braced on the edge of the wood, body locked in the careful posture the rib wound still forced on him. The bandages along his arm and side had taken on faint dark edges again. He had not left the level. He had not truly rested. The stone and the slopes were not going to give him the chance.Elder Orio

The order to drop the newest seam went out while the grinding behind it was still climbing.I stayed in the inner room with the connecting door open, both hands locked around the silver cuff. The heat against my wrist sat hard and intent, tracking the open gap and the slow, heavy pressure behind it the same way it had tracked every surge since the residual collapsed. The Burden under my skin stayed high and aligned, turned downward toward the packed stone that was about to fall. Through the open doorway I could see Kael at the table, the deeper map marked with the first seam, the buried sections, the newest open gap, and the outer slope positions under the dark marker. He stood with his uninjured hand braced on the edge of the wood, body held in the careful posture the rib wound still forced on him. The bandages along his arm and side had taken on darker edges again. He had not left the level. He had not truly rested. The stone and the slopes were not going to give him the chance.Eld
