All Chapters of When The Alpha Rises : The First Female Alpha Surgeon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Meanwhile, Sienna and Adrian’s mother, Margaret, sat together in the Blackwood mansion, their laughter filling the sitting room. For the first time in days, there was no tension between them.Sienna leaned back comfortably in her chair while Margaret watched her with obvious satisfaction, as though everything had finally fallen into place.“I’m so glad Blair is finally gone and Adrian is free from her,” Margaret muttered, the corner of her lips lifting. “Blair was a cursed wolf. I’m not even sure she had a wolf, or if she was just pretending to. Look at her body. She looks so fat. That’s probably why every child she gave birth to died. A witch like her. Who knew she would end up barren?”There was something almost bitter in the way Margaret spoke about Blair, as though even mentioning her name left a bad taste in her mouth.Margaret knew exactly what had happened to Blair over the years. She and the nurse she had paid were the only ones who knew the truth. She had never liked Blair fr

Camille swallowed and looked away.Kael stared at her in silence.The disappointment in his eyes was enough to make her shift uncomfortably. His family had betrayed Blair. They had all played a part in what had happened to her.And now she was dead.Kael shook his head, guilt pressing heavily against his chest. He turned and walked out of the mansion without another word.“Kael!”Camille hurried after him.He didn’t stop.He reached his car, opened the driver’s door, and climbed inside. Camille quickly entered through the passenger side and shut the door behind her.“Kael…”He finally turned toward her.“This is an abomination,” he said, his voice trembling. “Blair and Sienna are sisters. How could Sienna betray her like that? And you knew all of this was happening and never said anything to me?”Camille bit the inside of her cheek.“Well, it doesn’t matter now, does it?” she replied coldly. “Blair was never going to give Adrian an heir because she was barren, and Adrian was going to

“Blair betrayed me and this pack by trying to sell us out to the enemy. She tried to run away when she knew I had found out. Then the car caught fire, and she died.”The words felt wrong even as they left his mouth. None of them were true, but Adrian knew the truth would not serve him. Blair was dead as far as the pack was concerned, and no one was left to challenge the version of events he chose to give them.His jaw tightened before he continued.“And Blair and I had been separated for a long time. We just didn’t make it public. My condolences are with Blair’s family and everyone who knew her.”He paused again, forcing his expression into one of grief.His heart was beating hard, but he kept his face composed. For a brief moment, his eyes drifted toward Silas.His Beta was staring at him with open disbelief.Silas had expected Adrian to announce Blair’s death, but he had not expected him to accuse her of betraying the pack or attempt to destroy her reputation now that she was suppos

Meanwhile, in Silvercrest Pack, Blair descended the staircase in the blue gown Luna Arianna had given her. The soft fabric fell beautifully around her body, hugging her full, curvy figure without making her feel uncomfortable. For once, she had been given something that made her feel feminine rather than something she had to wear simply because it was available. She reached the last step and paused. Her fingers instinctively moved over the fabric around her waist as she looked down at herself. The gown was beautiful, and she knew that somewhere beneath all the years of insults, there was a part of her that wanted to believe she looked beautiful in it too. But insecurity had become so deeply rooted in her that even compliments struggled to reach her. All her life, she had been called fat. She had heard it from strangers, from people she thought were supposed to love her, and from those who seemed to believe her body made her less deserving of kindness. But hearing it from Adrian—the

“Sit down!”Two words. One command.It wasn’t a request, and Blair knew that immediately. She paused before slowly turning her head toward Alpha Lucian. Their eyes met, and for a moment neither of them looked away. His expression remained calm, almost unreadable, but there was a coldness in his eyes that made her instinctively straighten her back.Of course.She had just left Nightveil Pack only to find herself in what might be another kind of trouble. From the frying pan into the fire.Blair had heard the rumors about Silvercrest’s Alpha. People said Lucian was strict, ruthless, and not the kind of man anyone wanted to cross. She had never paid much attention to those stories because she had never expected to meet him, let alone live under his roof.Now she understood why people were afraid of him.She swallowed and slowly sat back down in the chair. Her hands rested weakly in her lap as her eyes returned to the television.Adrian’s face was still on the screen.The words he had said
