LOGINCHAPTER 137: A MYSTERIOUS WALL OF LIGHT ADRIAN I gritted my teeth so hard I thought my jaw would crack. I clenched my fists down at my sides, fighting with every ounce of my willpower to endure the blinding agony, desperately trying to bite back the scream tearing at the back of my throat. My vision blurred for a second as the heat cooked through my veins.Then, just as quickly as it hit, the blinding pain died down.A sudden, overwhelming rush surged through my core. I felt like a thousand megawatts of raw, crackling electrical energy had just been directly deposited into my muscles. My veins thrummed with a terrifying, limitless power.I exhaled a ragged, smoking breath, shook out my arms, and quickly strapped on my heavy leather war gear, fastening my combat knives and sidearms into place.I stepped softly back over to the bed, looking down at Elena's sleeping face. She looked so deeply peaceful, not even a single eyelash fluttering. My expression softened completely. She must ha
CHAPTER 136: GETTING READY FOR THE BATTLE ADRIAN:After leaving Elena tucked safely into the bed to rest up, I didn't waste a single second. I pulled my bedroom door shut as quietly as possible, turned on my heel, and marched straight down the grand staircase toward the packhouse courtyard.When I stepped outside into the cool night air, our elite combat warriors were already lined up in rows, standing tall and silent under the pale moonlight. Gamma Theo stood near the front, and the moment he saw me approach, he straightened up and called the men to attention.I scanned the rows of hardened, loyal faces, my jaw clenched. I knew what was coming, and I knew the sheer magnitude of the threat heading straight for our gates."Listen up, men," I called out, my voice cutting cleanly through the quiet night. "We’ve got a massive fight on our hands tonight. King Seth’s elite Lycan warriors are moving in on our territory, and they plan to hit us with a full-scale ambush in less than two hours
CHAPTER 135: NOT NOW, LUNA ELENA:I followed Adrian closely through the dark, dense brush until we finally broke through the tree line to the edge of the northern border. Right off the gravel path, the twin beams of an SUV's headlights cut sharply through the night, slicing long pillars of light across the forest mist.Clement was leaning against the driver's side door of the vehicle, waiting anxiously. But the second we stepped into the light and he saw me standing right beside Adrian, his jaw literally dropped. His eyes went wide with absolute shock, darting back and forth between us in utter disbelief. He looked completely stunned, his gaze drifting over to Adrian as if demanding an instant explanation for how I had magically reappeared out of the middle of nowhere.Adrian didn't waste a single breath offering explanations. He kept his face hard and unreadable, waiting as Clement stepped forward to pull the back door open. Adrian gestured for me to get inside first, and the second
CHAPTER 134: CONFESSION TIME ELENA:"My father told me straight up that he thought you weren't good enough for me anymore," I explained, watching Adrian's face harden. "He said you were going to soon lose your pack and your Alpha title anyway, so my value to him was wasted on you."Adrian gritted his teeth, a low growl rumbling in his chest. "Go on.""When I asked him how you were going to lose everything, my father spelled out their exact battle plan," I said, my voice dropping to a serious whisper. "He told me that your pack is going to be ambushed and attacked by King Seth’s elite Lycan warriors tonight at midnight. You were going to be taken hostage or killed in the chaos, and Julian was going to be installed as the next Alpha of the Blackwood Pack."Adrian's eyes flashed a dangerous, furious gold, and a deep, terrifying growl ripped out of his throat, vibrating through the clearing."Calm down, Adrian, let me finish," I soothed, placing a hand on his arm. "When my father told me
CHAPTER 133: ELENA FORGIVES ADRIAN ELENA:I let out a long, heavy sigh and shook my head. "Alright, stop. Just stop it," I murmured, staring at him. "If I tell you that I'm going to forgive you just like that, then I'm an absolute fool. But... I'm willing to give you a chance to prove yourself. You have to prove to me that you're actually worth dying for."Adrian's eyes lit up with a desperate, glowing intensity. He finally stopped slapping himself, his cheeks bright red and stinging from his own self-punishment, He grabbed my hands, holding them tightly against his chest. "I'm ready to do anything, Elena. Anything at all. Just don't leave me. Let's go home to the Blackwood Pack where we both belong. You are my officially crowned Luna now, and the safety of our pack rests on our shoulders."I stood still where I was, no longer trying to pull away or break free from his grip. Seeing that I had finally calmed down, Adrian pulled out his phone with his free hand and punched in a quick
CHAPTER 132: IF YOU LEAVE ME, I'LL KILL MYSELF ELENA:Hearing Adrian look me dead in the eyes and accuse me of stealing that alliance document—throwing my sacrifice right back in my face without even giving me a single second to explain myself—made me feel like I had just made the absolute greatest, most devastating mistake of my entire life.Standing there in the cold, damp dirt of the forest, the warmth of our intimacy completely evaporated, replaced by a hollow, sickening ache in my chest. A bitter, ironic thought echoed through my mind. I should have stayed at King Seth's palace. I should have just sat back, let them crown me Queen, and lived out my days draped in gold and velvet safety. I should have stayed and enjoyed the attention, the luxury and the powers that came with being an Alpha Queen.Instead, a heavy wave of hot, suffocating regret crashed over me. I deeply regretted that I had made Kamala snuck into my father's heavily guarded office to steal that alliance document
CHAPTER 5: A MATE AND A MISTRESS ADRIAN:I stepped out of the room as the door clicked shut behind me, leaving Elena Thorne alone with her tears and her tall tales. She really thought she knew me. She really thought a bullet to her boyfriend's head was the peak of what I could do.She had no idea.
CHAPTER 4: THE PACKAGE IS HEREELENA:I kept my face pressed against the cold glass of the window as the SUV sped away. I didn’t care if I looked pathetic; I just wanted to memorize every detail. The stone gate of our estate, the crooked oak tree where Kamala and I used to hide from our tutors, and
CHAPTER 3: GETTING MARKED BY THE COLD ALPHA ELENA:I stood there, rooted to the spot, watching the man who had ripped my heart out three years ago act like he owned the very air I breathed.After he finished whispering those threats in my ear, Adrian finally turned his attention to my father. It w
CHAPTER 6: IT'S YOUR MASTER ELENA:I heaved a sigh as I watched the door click shut and I heard Adrian’s heavy footsteps fading down the hall. His voice still echoed in my head, telling me to break a single rule of his and experience what's worse than death. What a devil!I stripped that red dress
