Replaced by His First Love Chapter 389 Bite Does Not Belong to You
Bite looked smaller under the theater lights.It was stupid. He was a stuffed wolf with one button eye and flattened ears. He had no heartbeat to shrink, no fear to hide, no pain to swallow.But Jonah's scream came through the screen, high and raw, and suddenly Bite looked like a child dragged into court."Give him back!" Jonah shouted from the red room.Silas caught him around the waist before he could throw himself at the wall where the object had vanished.Mira clutched Eli's wrapped socks and stared at me through the screen with a face too old for seven.The nursery had stolen a child's comfort object because I had proved objects could hold names.My proof had teeth now.Serena stepped toward Bite."Careful," I said.She glanced up with a soft smile. "It is cloth.""It is not yours.""Neither was Leo."The room went very still.She had not meant to say that where everyone could hear
Replaced by His First Love Chapter 388 The Observation Theater
The theater had no seats.First, there were no seats.No benches. No galleries. No soft place for a body to rest while judgment happened.Only screens.They rose in circles around the nursery platform, stacked from floor to ceiling, each one showing a different watcher from Rebirth City. Some faces were clear. Some were blurred by bad signal. Some belonged to people hiding in dark rooms with candles and kitchen knives on the table.All of them watched me.At the center of the theater, the black-gold warmer rolled forward on a rail.Leo's archive light pulsed inside.Weak.Too weak.I moved toward it.The floor flashed red under my foot.EVALUATION IN PROGRESS.DO NOT APPROACH CHILD UNTIL PROMPTED.I stopped because the warmer's light dipped when the warning appeared.Serena stepped into the opposite circle, still behind glass but closer now. Her

For one second, the nursery bowed to Kael.The lights lowered.The warmer closed around Leo's archive like a guard taking orders. The band on my stomach loosened. The doors along the circular room unlocked with soft, obedient clicks.Alpha command had always worked like that.It made the world move before anyone checked who got crushed underneath.Then the second layer woke.PATERNAL CLAIM RECOGNIZED.ALPHA CUSTODY ARBITRATION ACTIVE.MATERNAL DISPUTE NOW SUBJECT TO HOUSE BLACKWOOD BLOODLINE LAW.The loose band around my stomach tightened again.I sucked in a breath."No."Kael's voice came through the debt key, raw. "Aria, I was trying to stop the transfer.""You opened another one.""I know.""Do you?"The words cut harder than I intended, but I did not take them back.The nursery screens changed from Serena's pub

I did not choose either option.For three seconds, I had nothing else.No brilliant plan. No hidden Architect door. No clean line that split the trap in half.Only refusal.I pressed my burned palm flat against the platform and looked at the two choices until the letters blurred.SURRENDER FETAL ANCHOR.RELEASE ARCHIVE.The nursery waited with perfect patience.Machines could afford patience. Mothers could not.The child inside me had gone still again."Leo," I whispered, and I did not know which one I was calling.The archive light shivered in the warmer.Serena sighed behind the glass. "You always do this. You mistake delay for love.""And you mistake possession for motherhood.""The city disagrees."The walls changed.Every pale panel around the nursery lit at once. Screens opened in rows, showing streets, kitchens, clinic halls, stairw

I did not run at the glass.Not running counted as the first victory.Every part of me wanted to throw myself forward. My hands, my teeth, the old animal panic under my ribs. Serena stood ten steps away behind a wall I could not break yet, smiling with my child's stolen cloth in her arms.So I stopped.I made my feet stay on the nursery floor.The floor was warm.That detail disturbed me more than the cold rooms had. The red room had admitted what it was. The Vessel Preparation Nursery pretended it was kind.Pale mats covered the hallway. Little crescent moons had been printed along the walls. Most had peeled at the edges. Under one curling sticker, I saw old tape marks and a brown smear someone had failed to scrub out.There were rules painted above the mat in rounded blue letters.SOFT HANDS.QUIET VOICES.MOTHERS DO NOT FRIGHTEN THE BABIES.I star

The door did not close slowly.It tried to take my hand off.I threw my shoulder into the gap and drove my fingers against the blue-lit frame. Pain shot from my knuckles to my elbow. The metal edge bit through my sleeve, caught skin, and dragged a hot line across my wrist."Aria!" Mira screamed behind me."Stay back."The order came out rough. Too rough for a child, but I did not have a softer voice left.Silas moved anyway.I heard his boots scrape over broken glass. "Need the pipe?""Need you alive.""Annoying request."He stopped close enough that I could feel him wanting to pull me out. That old guardian reflex still lived somewhere under the holes in his head.The door pushed harder.Blue nursery light washed over my face. Warm air breathed through the gap, powder-sweet and rotten underneath, like clean blankets stored beside spoiled milk.Serena used Leo's voice again."Mommy."
Replaced by His First Love Chapter 45: Iron Rule of the East Wing
The Council Hall of the Moon Pack was an echo of Kael’s soul: cold, cavernous, built from stones that had witnessed centuries of bloodletting. Today, the air inside wasn’t just heavy—it was nearly unbreathable. Not from smoke or fire, but from the suffocating weight of Kael Blackwood’s Alpha aura,

Midnight in the East Wing felt like a tomb built from velvet and ice.Outside, the northern mist had returned, thick and relentless, coiling against the reinforced glass like ghosts with unfinished business. Inside the study, a single candle burned on the desk. Its amber flame flickered, stretchin

The storm had passed, leaving the Moon Pack estate washed in a cold, gray stillness.Elder Thorne and his executioners were gone, chased off by the threat of economic collapse and a wall of wolf-warriors. But the threat hung in the air like ozone after lightning—invisible, suffocating, waiting to s

The sulfurous air of Ash Valley thickened, shifting from a hazy red to a suffocating bruise-purple. The ground beneath Phoenix’s tactical boots pulsed with a bone-deep vibration, as if the mountain itself were running a fever.“The third gate,” Kael rasped.He stood at the edge of the circular ston
