The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Twenty-Two
Kieran's POV The sun was already creeping through the curtains, and Elara was curled beside me, still asleep. She looked soft. Peaceful, even. I stayed still, not wanting to ruin the moment. Everything was quiet, just the sound of her breathing and the occasional sound of birds chirping outside. It was the kind of quiet that felt rare, like the kind that only showed up when the world finally decided to slow down.My arm had gone numb under her weight, but I didn’t mind. There was something grounding about having her here. After everything, the chaos, the fights, the moments I wasn’t sure I’d earned her trust, this felt... good.Better than good. It felt like something was finally settling.I stared at her lips for too long, then leaned in and kissed her, gently and slowly.She stirred eventually, eyebrows scrunching a little before she blinked up at me. There was a second where she just stared like she was making sure I was real. And then her eyes shifted and I mean literally. They g

Kieran's POV “Ronan. Mason. You’re next.”My voice didn’t waver. If anything, it rang louder now—because at this point, it wasn’t a test anymore. It was a warning. And every ranked wolf in the room could feel it.Ronan, the tank. Mason, the tactician. Both elite. Both proud. Both looked at each other, then at Elara like they weren’t sure if they were stepping into a spar or a battlefield.Ronan cracked his neck, arms crossed. “You sure about this?”Elara just nodded once, already stepping back into that same eerie, steady stance. Balanced. Loose. Dangerous.Mason exhaled, rolling out his shoulders. “Alright, Luna. Let’s see what you’ve got.”The second they entered the circle, she moved.Ronan charged in first, as expected—power and brute strength, aiming to overwhelm her. But Elara met him halfway, ducked low, and twisted, using his momentum to spin him off course. He grunted and stumbled, but she didn’t wait.She slid behind him and kicked the back of his knee, hard enough to drop

I wasn’t given a choice. I was sold like a property on the eve of my twentieth birthday to a monster they call Alpha Kieran Blackwood. They call it a treaty, a bond to unite two packs against a common enemy. But to me, it’s a death sentence, one wrapped in silk and sealed with blood. I didn't realize I was the price until they summoned me.I was in my room when the Beta barged in.“The Alpha wants you in the council room,” he said.My stomach twisted the moment I heard it, a familiar dread coiling in my chest. Nothing good ever followed those summons–just orders, punishments, or reminders of how worthless I had become.The hallway stretched on, heavy with each step. Whispers clung to the air like smoke. “There she goes, Mooncrest’s little curse.” I kept my gaze fixed on the floor, focusing on the rhythm of my footsteps, the only thing I could control.As I entered the council chamber, silence swallowed me whole. The kind of silence that was thick with judgment, a pressure in my ches

Alpha Kieran Blackwood.His presence sucked the warmth out of the room. He didn’t need to say a word; his gaze did all the speaking. Cold, sharp, and piercing, like it could see through skin, flesh, bone, straight into whatever was left of my soul.His dark eyes flicked over me, unreadable, indifferent, like I was nothing more than a transaction. A name on paper. A deal sealed.Alpha Kieran stood well over six feet, his body carved from years of relentless battles, not just training. His features were sharp and unforgiving—high cheekbones, a strong, chiseled jawline dusted with stubble, and a jagged scar slashing across his right brow, disappearing into his hairline like a permanent reminder of violence. It didn’t mar his face; it completed it.But it was his eyes that rooted me to the spot—crystal green, cold and piercing, like shards of ice buried deep in a winter forest. They held no warmth, no flicker of kindness, just an emptiness that swallowed everything whole.His scent hit me

The morning light barely crept through the tiny window, casting soft streaks across the cold, gray room. I was still tangled in sleep, wrapped in scratchy sheets, when the door burst open with the energy of a tornado wrapped in sunshine."Good morning, sunshine!"I jolted upright, eyes squinting against the sudden brightness—not from the sun, but from her. A middle-aged woman I'd never seen before.She practically skipped into the room, arms full of flowers, a basket dangled from her elbow, stuffed with colorful fabrics, small trinkets, and a pillow.She had the brightest smile, like her face didn’t know how to do anything else, reminding me of my mother. Her hair was tied up messily, and her eyes sparkled with mischief."Time to turn this sad little cave into something less tragic." She dropped everything with a dramatic flair, hands on her hips like she’d just conquered a kingdom.“Name’s Mira. Your new favorite person. Now, up!”Nyx chuckled in my head, “I like her!”I stared. She

Freedom.It sounded so strange in my ears. I couldn't believe it. I walked disoriented behind Mira, barely listening to her happy chatter. Everything felt... surreal.Then she stopped and placed a hand on my shoulder. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice gentle but firm.I stared at her for a long moment, and then, without warning, the tears came. A sob tore from my throat, and I crumbled. I didn’t know why. Maybe it was relief. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was just gratitude—for her, for this moment, for the chance to breathe again.Mira didn’t hesitate. She pulled me into a tight hug, holding me as I broke down. “It’s fine,” she murmured, stroking my back. “Everything will be fine.”For what felt like hours, I let myself cry, let the weight of everything spill out. When I finally stopped, I felt lighter—emptier, but in a good way.Mira smiled warmly, wiping a stray tear from my cheek. “It’s a good start, Hun. I’m here now, so whenever you feel overwhelmed, just cry. Crying is a

“Is there a problem here?”The voice was sharp—like steel slicing through the thick fog in my mind. I blinked, vision clearing just enough to see her.She stepped into the dim hallway light, clad in dark training leathers, sleeves rolled up like she didn’t have time for nonsense. She wasn’t tall, but the confidence she carried made her seem like a giant. Short, messy hair framed a face that said, ‘Try me.’The warriors stiffened.“We were just—” the sneering one started.“Leaving,” she snapped, not giving him the chance to finish.And just like that, they scattered like roaches when the light flicks on.She turned to me, her sharp glare softening slightly. “You, okay?” she asked while helping me stand.I nodded, though my heart was still sprinting like it owed someone money.She tilted her head, studying me. “You must be Elara. I’m Astrid.”Nyx’s voice in my head was smug. “I like her. Keep her.”Astrid glanced at my trembling hands and rolled her eyes, “don’t let idiots like that get
Huling Na-update : 2025-04-10The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Six
Kieran’s POVI could feel her determination through the link, but that wasn’t the only thing.I felt her pains, too. Every time Astrid struck her, I felt it. The blows weren’t even that strong, so why did they hurt her so much? And more importantly, why wasn’t she leaving?Then she fell and I could feel her weakening, the bond pulsing violently against my wrist. She was in danger.“That’s enough,” I told Astrid, my voice sharp, commanding. Final. “It’s her first day.”Astrid lowered her hands immediately, stepping back.I turned to Elara, starting to speak. “There’s no –” when she fell again. My breath caught.“Elara!”I shouted as I caught her before she hit the ground, my arms locking around her too-thin frame. I couldn’t feel her anymore. The bond, which had been thrumming with pain and exhaustion, went silent.The moment the bond went silent, my heart slammed against my ribs, panic twisting through me like a blade. I didn’t like this feeling.For the first time in years, I felt sc

Elara's POV His mouth crashed against mine, tongue deep and demanding, and I kissed him back like I was starving. Our breaths tangled. Lips slick and swollen. His hand gripped my jaw, tilting my face as he deepened the kiss like he couldn’t get enough.I didn’t want him to stop.I loved every second of it.Kieran groaned against my lips, his hands gripping my waist, sliding under my tank top, fingers trailing fire across my skin. I arched into him, craving more—craving him. I gasped when his fingers brushed under my breast, and he froze.“You okay?” he asked, breathless.I nodded.I was more than okay.“I need you,” he murmured against my lips. “But not here. Inside. You deserve your first time on a bed. Not in the damn forest.”I blushed and grabbed his hand, pulling him toward the house. I didn't hesitate a bit which was unlike me.Damn him for making me bold.Once we were in, he kissed me again but this time he was gentle. Like... overly gentle, which threw me off for like half a
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Twenty
Kieran's POV I heard the door creak open. It was the same sound Elara made whenever she came back after training. I’d gotten used to it by now—her quiet, steady footsteps, the soft shuffle of her clothes, the small sigh she always let out when she entered the packhouse. It was a familiar sound, one that told me she was back.I didn’t think much of it at first. She was just settling back in after training, probably needing some time to herself. The minutes passed, and I got back to work, my thoughts on the pack, on the tasks at hand. Time slipped by—an hour, maybe two.But then, the door creaked open again, much later than usual. This time, she was leaving.I didn’t even hear her footsteps anymore. The packhouse was eerily quiet. I glanced up at the clock—an hour and a half had passed since I’d last heard her. My heart skipped a beat. Something wasn’t right.The weight of silence in the house was suffocating. My mind, usually calm, now swirled with unease. I tried to push the thoughts
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Nineteen
Elara’s POV“Again.”Astrid tossed me a dagger and smirked like she was enjoying this way too much.“I swear, you’re not normal,” she said. “You were flailing last week and now you’re flipping midair like you trained with the Moon Guard.”I shrugged. Nyx was pacing in my head, smug.“Don’t look at me like that,” Astrid warned. “We’re not done.”We weren’t. We’d been at it since dawn, and my limbs were jelly, but the second I saw movement at the edge of the field, everything sharpened.Kieran.He was standing near the training ground, arms crossed, eyes locked on me. He looked tense, but not in the usual way an Alpha would be.–more like his insides were screaming.“Focus, Luna,” Astrid teased, spinning her blade. “Unless you want me to kick your ass in front of your very emotionally constipated mate.”I rolled my eyes and lunged.We sparred for another half hour. My moves felt faster, sharper. Like my body had been waiting to be pushed this hard. Nyx was fully awake now, nudging me, f
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Eighteen
Tobias’ POVI wake up at 5 a.m. every day, no alarm needed. My body’s been trained to rise with the sun—or before it. Discipline has always been easier than sleep, especially lately.I stretch and loosen up before heading to the simple gym behind my house. It was basic—just some weights, a punching bag, and enough room to work out. I spend an hour lifting and boxing before hitting the road.I run—long laps along the southern border, my usual route. Minimum five miles. It keeps my wolf calm and my mind sharper than my mouth, which, frankly, says a lot.Afterwards, I shower, hit the kitchen and make breakfast. Scrambled eggs, toast, and a coffee strong enough to raise the dead. I cook myself. Always have. I like eating alone. No noise, no conversation, just me and the silence. That’s my routine—quiet, clean, and predictable. Then I go see Kieran.Kieran and I… we used to be close. Practically brothers back when things were simpler, when the world didn’t hurt as much. After he lost his
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Seventeen
Elara’s POVI don’t know when it started—maybe the second my body hit the floor protecting him. Maybe the moment he realized I was willing to die for him. Either way, something shifted. Kieran changed.At first, I thought it was guilt. He never came near the room for days after the attack, and I've been in the room for days waiting for him, asking for him, but by the third day of stiff silence and excuses from Tobias like “He’s training” or “He's in a meeting” I got the message loud and clear.He was pushing me away.And the worst part? I had no idea why.Instead, he built walls. Cold, silent ones.I tried reaching him through the link, but he kept shutting me out. Nyx couldn’t reach Fenrir too. I was much stronger now and I was tired of waiting for him to come talk to me.“Go to his office,” Nyx said. “If he's not coming to the room and is purposely shutting us out, we deserve to know why.” I made my way to his office that night. I knocked and heard no sound but I could feel him in
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Sixteen
Kieran's POVI didn't even notice when morning came. All night, I'd been hunched over the desk, drawing and redrawing war strategies, scanning the map over and over, until the lines blurred, plotting every possible weak point of attack. I needed to find a way to end this. End Magnus.He took my parents and sister.I won't let him take Elara too–Never.A knock broke through my thoughts. Tobias stepped into the room.“Fuck, Kieran! Why do you look like that?” He rushed over, eyes wide, and pressed a hand to my forehead.I swatted his hand away, jaw tight. “I'm fine. What do you have for me?”He paused, watching me too carefully. “Alex caught a wolf trying to escape this morning.”I snapped my head up so fast, that the room tilted slightly, and Tobias instinctively reached out to steady me. I shoved his hand away again. “Where's he?”“We took him to the dungeon.”“Let's go.”There was no time to waste.We reached the dungeon, and the thick stench of blood slammed into my senses. It was
The Alpha's Quiet Mate Chapter Fifteen
Kieran’s POVEverything slowed, she moved faster than I could react. One moment, the assassin lunged and the next, she was there. Elara’s body slammed into mine, knocking me back with more force than her small frame should’ve carried.I stumbled back, heart lurching—then I heard it—the sickening sound of metal sinking into flesh. Her flesh.My heart stopped. I stood there, paralyzed, as blood began to soak her dress.“Elara!” Her eyes locked with mine, and a tremble passed through her lips before she collapsed into my arms. She was bleeding, too fast.Her blood was on my hands. My mate—hurt, because of me. It was happening all over again, someone close to me was getting hurt because of me. Fenrir snapped.He tore out of me with a roar that shook the entire hall. I didn’t stop him. I didn’t try. I gave him the reins. Let him do what I couldn’t.The assassin never stood a chance, Fenrir ripped him apart, bone-crunching like dry wood beneath his paws, he didn’t stop and I didn’t wa
