All Chapters of Bite Me Harder, Alpha: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

The scream tears out of me before I can stop it.Pain explodes through the mate bond like shattered glass, slicing deep into my chest, my belly, my soul.“Kieran—” I gasp his name through the bond, but my voice cracks.The pup’s bright spark, usually so fierce and warm, is flickering. Fighting. Each time he pushes back against the resonator, it drains me faster, like the device is sucking the life from both of us. Golden light bleeds from my skin in erratic bursts, but it’s not enough. The weaker mate bonds across the pack are already snapping. I can feel them—distant howls of confusion and rage turning into violence as wolves turn on their own mates.Rowena grips my shoulder, her voice sharp. “Focus, Luna! Anchor the circle!”Kali and Laura are chanting on either side of me, their hands joined with mine, but their faces are pale. The sage smoke that once rose clean now twists into ugly black threads. The air tastes metallic, like blood and ozone.“I can’t—” Another wave hits. My visi

One moment, I am breathing through another wave of the resonator’s poison, the next my entire body seizes as white-hot agony rips through the mate bond. I cry out, doubling forward in the command tent, both hands flying to my belly.“Sienna!” Kali’s voice cuts through the haze.The pup thrashes violently inside me, his spark flaring so brightly I can almost see it behind my eyelids. I feel the observatory collapsing through the bond, stone and metal screaming, fire roaring, and Kieran in the center of it all.Kieran! I scream down the connection.His reply is a snarl of pure fury and pain. Stay back! I’m coming…Another explosion tears through the bond. I gasp, knees buckling. Rowena catches me before I hit the ground, her strong arms wrapping around my shoulders.“Hold on, child,” she says, her voice tight but steady. “Bre

The pain evolves into something deeper, more terrifying.It no longer comes in waves. It is a constant, vicious pulling deep in my core, like invisible hands are trying to tear the bridge energy out of my blood. I collapse onto the ritual mat at the forward command point, arms wrapped tightly around the gentle swell of my belly.A raw scream tears from my throat.“Sienna!” Rowena is instantly at my side, strong hands gripping my shoulders.I feel the secondary device activate beneath the observatory. Kieran is still inside the collapsing building.Kieran! I scream down the connection.His reply is a roar of pure fury. Hold on! I’m coming—I gasp, curling instinctively around my stomach as sharp, warning contractions grip my body. Not full labor yet, but terrifyingly close. The pup is fighting back with everything he h

I bury my mate. I raise an Alpha alone. I watch my pack bleed for years under the shadow of old wars.But nothing prepares me for watching my son’s mate and unborn grandson fight for their lives in front of me.Sienna lies on the reinforced ritual mat at the forward command point, her body trembling with violent contractions that come far too early. The gentle swell of her belly, which has only begun to show her pregnancy, now looks painfully tight. Sweat soaks her hair. Her face is pale, lips bloodless.“Stay with us, Luna,” I whisper, gripping her hand tightly. My voice is steadier than I feel. “Your Alpha is coming. Your son needs you.”The pup’s spark — that fierce little light I feel through the bond — is dimming. Every time it flares to protect his mother, the device drinks deeper. Sienna cries out as another contraction rips through her, her free hand clutching her belly.“He’s fighting so hard,” she gasps, tears streaming down her face. “He’s too small… Rowena, please… don’t l

The infirmary has a scent of herbs, blood, and burning sage. Pillows prop me up on the reinforced bed, my body sore and heavy.Kieran bursts through the door so hard that it slams against the wall.His chest heaves, clothes torn and soaked with blood that isn’t all his own. Gold bleeds through his eyes, fangs still partially extended. The moment his gaze locks on me—on the curve of my belly—he crosses the room in three strides and drops to his knees beside the bed.“Sienna.” His voice cracks as he presses both hands to my stomach, forehead dropping to rest against the swell. The pup kicks hard right where his palm lies, and a broken sound tears from Kieran’s throat. “You’re alive. Both of you.”I thread my fingers through his sweat-matted hair, tears spilling over. “We’re here. Thanks to Kali.”His shoulders tense. Through the bond, grief hits him so hard it steals his breath. He doesn’t pull away from my belly, but his free hand finds mi
