The Alpha's Scar's Chapter Twenty-two: Fracturing Loyalty
Kiernan’s footsteps could be heard as he walked down the deserted corridor, his mind on an unending race. The thought of facing Caden after everything that has been going on sent shivers down his spine. The thought of facing someone he was called his closest friend, more like a brother, gave him serious unrest. Caden's rule has seriously become increasingly tyrannical. His harsh and unyielding rule has brought division among everyone. “What has blinded Caden this much?” Kiernan thought to himself. The limit of Kiernan’s loyalty has been continually tested, and he has been failing these tests, unfortunate for Caden. Kiernan has battled with the thought of going against his own Alpha in a rebellious way. But the truth is what he has chosen to stand for. Little did he know that it's not as easy as he thinks.

Aria gently cradled her belly with her left hand, a mix of emotions swirling within her heart. Joy intertwined with fear, creating an unsteady rhythm as she navigated the dense underbrush of the forest. Being pregnant in such a wild and untamed place felt both surreal and perilous; danger lurked in every shadow. The knowledge that she was carrying Caden's child intensified her anxiety, wrapping it in a cloak of uncertainty. “How could this happen?” she pondered, her mind racing. “Just one encounter with Caden, and now I’m faced with this monumental life change.

Yet, now, it felt like a trap, suffocating him with a sense of foreboding. The trees loomed ominously, their gnarled branches resembling skeletal fingers, stretching out as if to ensnare him in their grasp.“Aren’t you tired of living in fear, Kenan?” a voice slithered into his ear, laden with urgency and intent.Kiernan spun around, his instinct kicking in as his hand instinctively gripped the hilt of the dagger sheathed at his belt.

With each word he penned, Caden felt as if a heavy burden was slowly being lifted. For the first time, he was confronting not only the reality of his actions but also the deep wounds they had inflicted on his people.
