All Chapters of The Alpha's Burning Heart: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Tristan's POVAs I stepped out heading to the office, the warm afternoon air kissed my cheeks, carrying with it a sense of urgency and purpose. I linked Jared to join me swiftly. We had important matters to discuss, and I needed his counsel on how to navigate the turbulent waters that had recently engulfed us.Thoughts raced through my mind, replaying the previous night's events like scenes from a thriller movie. The kidnapping, my search for Raina and rescuing her from assassins, the news about my baby, the progress I made with Raina, the frantic rush to save Jason from the brink of death, and the revelation about the fire this morning—it all pointed to a web of deceit and danger that threatened our very existence.Arriving at the office, I was greeted by Alec's troubled expression. His furrowed brow spoke volumes, but I waved off his concerns with a reassuring shake of my head."Everything is fine. I won’t hurt her," I assured him, though the anger still simmered within me over the f

Tristan's POVI left my office and decided to head to the Rains residence. When I arrived, I found Jennifer and Irvin enjoying tea in their garden. I never understood why people drank hot tea on sweltering afternoons. Iced tea made sense, but the teapot and teacups on the table under the gazebo told a different story.Their garden was immaculately maintained, a clear indication that the Rains were big on impressing people. In the past, I might have viewed them as snobs, but their affluent lifestyle compared to the Winters suggested there was more going on. There was no way a Gamma should be living better than a Beta. I realised now what I had been too angry and blind to see before: Irvin was certainly getting benefits beyond what Stormhowl provided.The moment they saw me, both Irvin and Jennifer stood up. Jennifer smiled while Irvin looked confused. Of course, he would be. I never visited, even though we were in-laws, and I certainly wasn't smiling."Please join us, Your Majesty," the

Tristan’s POVIrvin continued, clearly more comfortable now that I had allowed him to speak freely. "Your father was a strong leader, but his strength often came at the expense of wisdom and foresight. His desire to expand Ironclaw's influence blinded him to the needs of his people. Darius saw this and believed he could do better. He thought he could bring prosperity and stability where your father had brought conflict and hardship.""And what about you, Irvin? Where do you stand in all this?" I asked, watching his reaction closely."I stand with Ironclaw, Your Majesty. I have always done what I believed was best for our people. Sometimes, that meant supporting your stepfather, King Darius. Other times, it meant supporting my people. Now, it means supporting you," he said, his eyes meeting mine with a steady gaze.I took another reluctant sip of the tea, using the moment to consider his words. "And yet, you still struggle to convince the other alphas to support my rule.""It's not an e

Tristan’s POVI dumped the muffins in the trash upon arriving at the location and walked inside. Jared was never disappointed when it came to torture and information extraction. We were both skilled in it, though where he could be somewhat lenient, I was ruthless. The rage and anger within me made me a dangerous person to deal with.Ronald was bloodied and bound in silver, his legs apart and arms spread wide. He was suspended in the middle of the underground facility, the silver hindering his healing and leaving him with a grotesquely swollen eye. Jared stood shirtless and wearing shorts, preparing for another session. I began taking off my clothes as well. When I returned to Raina, I wanted to be clean, not reeking of blood and sweat. The thought that this bastard had almost taken her away from me permanently, sending her to a place where I could never reach her again, filled me with a blinding fury. There was no way I was going to be lenient with him. I planned to extract every bit o

Tristan’s POV “Mr. Benjamin and his wife are deeply involved in the conspiracy, and they answer directly to King Rufus. Your mother had her suspicions about them long before you took over. Even your stepfather was conducting his own investigation into King Rufus’s activities, believing that some individuals were planning to eliminate him due to the new trade laws he was about to enact. These laws would have significantly altered the terms and conditions of trade, shaking the established order. I didn't have all the details, but I'm sharing what I gathered from eavesdropping and overhearing conversations,” he said and stopped to catch his breath. Jared and my blows had done a number on him, but I didn’t care. He was lucky he was still breathing."I have no personal issue with Raina. In fact, I liked her. But she was an obstacle, and Aunt Jenifer wanted her out of the way," he confessed."What about the pastries? They tried to kill me once. Why haven't they tried again?" I questioned, s
