All Chapters of The Alpha's Burning Heart: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Raina's POV I returned to the pack house, feeling a mix of shock and joy. The news of my condition was both surprising and uplifting. As I placed my hand on my lower belly, a smile spread across my face. I lay down on the bed in Tristan's room, giggling as I imagined the kind of mother I would be. What seemed like a terrifying situation for my mother was a blessing to me.I couldn't help but wonder how Tristan would feel about it. What would he say? How would he react? He had promised me he would fix it, whatever that meant. But I knew keeping this from him would be wrong. My mother was mistaken about that. It was secrets like this that had led Tristan to where he was now.I thought about everything Jenifer had said to me and laughed softly. The Rains wouldn't get their wish after all. I didn't know what their deal was with Tristan, but I doubted Natasha would get more than what she had right now. With that realisation, I buried my face in Tristan's pillow, inhaling his familiar scent

Tristan's POVThe journey to Renhall was not taken lightly, but it was a necessary step. The invitation came as a surprise, yet I couldn't disregard it, knowing the assassins who targeted Raina were in the King's service. Though I didn't believe the King was the mastermind—he had nothing to gain—I needed to get close to him to uncover the truth.As the youngest among the kings, it was expected that I make courtesy visits to my peers before they came to me. Yet, preoccupied with identifying my foes, I had overlooked this custom. I made the risky decision to leave Alec in charge of Stormhowl's affairs during my absence, preferring to have Jared and his men at my side for protection against potential betrayals. I could only hope Alec would manage without causing issues.I also felt anxious about the gift I had chosen for Raina. I was uncertain whether she would appreciate it, but I believed it was time to start mending our strained relationship. Reuniting with her family felt like the ri

Tristan’s POVNatasha wasn't quite herself throughout the event, and we both remained sitting at the high table reserved for the kings. Only two kings were in attendance: the King of Renhall, who was the host, and myself, the King of Ironclaw. The others had said it was short notice, and King Rufus wasn't angry. In fact, he said he was most eager to meet me.He danced with Natasha while I danced with his wife, and then I danced with Natasha. She took liberties with me, resting her head against my chest and moving as if we were two people in love. She drew a lot of attention towards us, and I didn't like it, but I bore it. After the event, King Rufus requested to have a private meeting with me, which I believed was the reason he had invited me. I even suspected I was the only King he had invited to the event. I knew I would soon find out the truth.As the evening progressed, I followed King Rufus to his private chambers. The grandeur of the palace continued to impress, but my mind was

Raina's POVAs night fell, I found myself missing Tristan, knowing he wouldn't be home until the next day. I used to enjoy his absences, but now I longed for his return so I could share the good news my mother had delivered, and while I considered keeping it from him, I realised it could damage the fragile relationship we were trying to build. Despite everything, I was determined to nurture whatever we had.The morning arrived, and I spent time with my mother at the house that was under renovation. I felt grateful to Tristan for his kindness towards my family and hopeful that things would improve soon. I suspected he was working on something secretive and just hoped he knew what he was doing rather than acting out of blind rage, which had caused problems in the past.By evening, a maid came to inform me that Elisabeth wanted to see me. It was an odd request, so I refused. Shortly after, the maid returned with a note in her hand."Please, Raina, come and see me. I needed to tell you som

Tristan's POVI could not believe Dean loyalists had waited for me to leave so they could set him free. Although Jared had arrested Alec, I doubted he had a hand in it. Whoever did this must have been lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to be away and have my guard down before striking. It wasn't Alec. Alec was the most obvious culprit, which made him innocent. Who else would have helped them?As I moved towards the cells to examine the place, I panicked in my heart, and I didn't know why. Maybe it was from Raina. Although I wasn't wearing her mark, I could feel her emotions, and one she gave off was fear and panic. I couldn't hang around to ease her mind. I would do that later.I arrived at the cell, my heart pounding as I pushed open the heavy iron and silver door. The first thing that hit me was the smell—food, sweat, and a faint metallic tang of blood. I took a deep breath and stepped inside, eyes scanning the chaotic scene.The tray of food lay scattered on the floor, its conte
