All Chapters of Claimed By The Storm Brothers: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kael The morning sun streamed through the windows of my father’s study, reflecting off the wooden panels and bathing the room in a warm golden glow.I sat stiffly in the leather chair across from his desk, my fists clenched so tightly that my knuckles hurt. I was doing everything I could to keep my hands from trembling.The atmosphere felt suffocating.Alpha Ronan watched me from across the desk, his expression impossible to read. It was as if he were studying me piece by piece, searching for something I wasn’t even sure I had.“Do you trust her?”His voice was calm, but there was something sharp underneath it that immediately made me straighten.“Who?” I asked, even though we both knew exactly who he meant.“Eira.”Her name settled heavily in my chest.The truth was, I didn’t know what I felt about her.The mate bond had made everything complicated. One moment, I could feel myself being pulled toward her. The next, I was filled with coldness and disgust.Some days, her courage almos

Kael’s POVThe final day of the Conclave had arrived, but I couldn’t stop pacing around the room. My father’s revelations kept replaying in my head, leaving me with more questions than answers.Being in my position suddenly felt heavier than ever. Everything around us seemed to be falling apart, and yet I had no idea what the right move was. I knew I couldn’t just sit back and watch Alpha Darius frame us while driving the packs further apart.But the more I thought about it, the more complicated everything became.I grabbed my phone and called Soren, my fingers slightly unsteady. After a few rings, he picked up.“Kael, what’s going on?”I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. “You’re not going to believe this,” I said. “At the Conclave meeting, Father proved that Alpha Darius had been setting us up all along. He brought out the documents. There was clear evidence that everything had been planned.”“So… is that good news or bad news?” Soren asked.“Are you serious?” I snapped. “It’s b

EIRAThe grand ballroom fell completely silent.Every movement stopped. The music died away, and even the quiet conversations disappeared the moment Elara’s accusation echoed through the room.Every pair of eyes turned toward me.The weight of their stares felt suffocating, as though the air had suddenly become too heavy for me to breathe.My heart pounded violently against my ribs.This wasn’t how tonight was supposed to go.I desperately searched the room for something familiar to hold on to, and my eyes landed on Soren standing beside Thorne.They were both staring at me, almost as though they were waiting for me to deny everything.Still shaken, I turned toward Alpha Ronan.As the host, he immediately stepped forward. His expression was hard with anger as he raised a hand, attempting to stop the situation before it got worse.“Enough of this nonsense, Elara. This is neither the time nor the place for baseless accusations.”Before he could finish, another voice cut through the room

Soren I paced back and forth across my room, too restless to sit still. Guilt, frustration, and the desperate need to make things right kept running through my mind.I couldn’t get Eira’s expression at the ball out of my head. The hurt and betrayal in her eyes had been impossible to ignore. She hadn’t said anything to us afterward, but somehow, her silence hurt more than any accusation ever could.I stopped in the middle of the room.Why the hell did I care so much?Why did watching her walk away with tears in her eyes leave such a heavy feeling in my chest?It wasn’t as though I liked her. Not really. The mate bond had forced her into our lives, and I’d spent weeks fighting against the pull it had on me.But tonight had been different.Watching her stand there alone while everyone turned against her, knowing that we had done absolutely nothing to defend her, had stirred something inside me that I couldn’t ignore.I hated feeling this way. I hated that the thought of her being hurt m

EiraI jolted awake, my body feeling unusually heavy and the air around me strangely thick. Nothing about my surroundings made sense. I could hear leaves rustling nearby, an unfamiliar sound that was somehow soothing at the same time. The air smelled of fresh flowers and damp earth.My heart raced as I tried to make sense of where I was. This definitely wasn’t my room.A faint glow overhead caught my attention, and I quickly pushed myself upright, confusion washing over me.Where the hell was I?Gradually, my senses began to clear. I was sitting on soft, cool grass that felt slightly damp beneath my hands. The darkness of the night muted the colours around me, but a gentle light illuminated what appeared to be a swimming pool.I blinked several times, trying to adjust my vision.A beautiful swimming pool lay before me, its calm surface reflecting the starry sky above. My heart skipped as I took in the garden surrounding it. Flowers lined the edges of the pool, their vibrant colours st
