All Chapters of The Alpha’s Greatest Blindness: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

The outer chamber became a killing ground in the space of a few breaths.I stayed behind the connecting threshold with Elder Orion’s staff still angled across the opening, my hands locked on the frame hard enough to ache. Beyond that line, the private-wing posts met the western fighters who had already cleared the broken door. The sound was close and ugly—short impacts, boots scraping stone, the raw noise of men fighting in a room that had never been built for it.Kael held the torn opening itself.He was the first obstacle the next rank had to pass, and he made them pay for every step. Blood ran freely from the reopened rib wound and from the scrape along his thigh. His uninjured arm worked in short, brutal arcs. Each time a body tried to push through the ruined upper joint, he met it and drove it back or put it down. The frame around him was no longer wood so much as a jagged outline. Splinters littered the floor. Corridor air poured in without resistance.The cuff on my wrist burne

The inner door closed under Elder Orion’s hands with a solid, final sound.For a moment the outer chamber’s noise became muffled wood and vibration instead of clear combat. I stood in the centre of the inner room with the cuff burning against my wrist and the second girl’s presence pressing through the silver without pause. The continuous signal did not care that a door had shut between me and Kael. It climbed anyway, feeding on the violence beyond the wood and the rising pressure under the keep as if both were the same current.Elder Orion barred the connecting door and set his back against it. The staff stayed in his hands. His breathing was heavier than before. He had spent himself on the threshold line the same way the posts were spending themselves in the outer chamber. He did not pretend otherwise.“You stay in this room,” he said. “If the connecting door starts to fail, you take the far corner, and you do not move toward the breach. The design wants you closer to the open fight

The upper hinge of the connecting door split with a sharp, final crack.Light from the outer chamber cut through in a widening line. The bar still held the centre, but the top of the door had started to shear away from the frame. Cold air and the raw stench of the fight poured into the inner room. Elder Orion shoved his shoulder under the failing upper line and braced. I put my weight beside his. The wood groaned. Beyond the door, the outer chamber was a single compressed knot of violence with almost no space left between the ruined outer threshold and the last closed door in the wing.Kael’s voice came through the widening split, close enough that I could hear the wet catch in every breath.“Bar holds. Posts—keep them off this door. Do not let them work the hinge.”He was right on the other side of the wood. Still giving orders. Still placing whatever was left of his body between the western line and the last threshold. The private-wing posts answered with the short, desperate sounds

The upper half of the connecting door became a vertical fight in the space of a breath.Elder Orion met the next western fighter in the ragged opening with the staff and pure refusal. The old wolf had no clean room to work in. He used the broken upper frame as a funnel, forcing each body through a choke the lower bar still enforced. A man came over the torn edge. Elder Orion took his legs out and drove him sideways into the wall before the next one could follow cleanly.I stayed in the far corner of the inner room as ordered, back to stone, cuff burning white against my wrist. The second girl’s presence poured through the continuous signal without pause. The eastern rise was in the lower active levels. The outer chamber was lost. The last incomplete break in the channel was the distance between this corner and the secured room—and the failing threshold that still stood, half-torn, between me and the breach.Through the upper opening I could see a slice of the outer chamber. Kael was f

The western line hit Kael against the connecting door with the full weight of everything they had left to spend.I saw it through the torn upper gap. His body took the impact against the lower barred half and folded. Elder Orion shouted from the inner side and jammed the staff into the upper opening to keep anyone from climbing through on the back of that single brutal moment. The private-wing posts—what remained of them—threw themselves into the knot around Kael without clean order, only the raw need to keep the Alpha from being finished on the stone outside the last threshold.I stayed in the corner because he had ordered it with the last clear word he had left. The cuff burned white against my wrist. The second girl’s presence surged through the continuous signal in a wave of alarm that matched my own. The eastern rise was opening into the lower main corridor approach. The outer chamber was a red, compressed ruin. The last incomplete break in the channel was still the distance I wa
