MARKED BY THE THREE ALPHAS Chapter Sixty Eight
Lila's pov The second trial began three days later.Unlike the first, there was no combat arena, no gathered warriors waiting to see blood spilled across the dirt. Instead, the pack assembled inside Bloodmoon’s council hall, where long wooden tables stretched beneath hanging lanterns and every seat was filled before sunrise.The atmosphere felt entirely different.Quieter.Sharper.More dangerous in its own way.Because physical strength was easy to understand. Wolves respected combat instinctively.Wisdom was harder.Leadership even harder than that.Lila stood near the center of the hall while murmurs rippled softly through the gathered pack members. She could feel the tension through the bond already—curiosity mixed with expectation.The Trial of Wisdom had a reputation among older packs for exposing weaknesses no physical challenge ever could.A bad fighter might lose a battle.A bad leader could destroy an entire pack.Elder Miriam stepped forward once the room settled.“The Sec

Lila's pov The entire pack gathered at the training grounds before sunrise. Cold mist clung to the earth while torches burned around the circular combat arena carved into the center of Bloodmoon territory. Wolves lined the outer edges of the field in silence, bundled in dark cloaks against the early morning chill. Some looked curious. Others skeptical. Lila could feel all of it through the bond. Their anticipation. Their concern. Their doubt. It would have terrified her once. Now it only sharpened her focus. She stood near the edge of the arena dressed in black training leathers, flexing her fingers slowly to loosen the stiffness still lingering in her body. The scars left by the wolfsbane had mostly faded, but exhaustion still lurked beneath her skin if she pushed too hard. Kade noticed immediately. “You can still stop this,” he said quietly beside her. Lila glanced toward him. He looked calm on the surface, but she could feel the tension beneath it through the bond. Da

Lila's pov The first thing Lila noticed when she woke was warmth.Not heat from blankets or sunlight.Them.Kade lay behind her, one arm wrapped carefully around her waist like he was afraid she might disappear if he let go. Darius sat in a chair near the bed, elbows braced against his knees, watching her with exhausted intensity. Ronan stood near the window, silent and alert, his gaze fixed on the dark forest beyond the compound walls.For one disoriented moment, panic surged through her.Warehouse.Chains.Wolfsbane.Marcus—Then the bond wrapped around her gently, steady and familiar, and reality settled back into place.Safe.She was home.Relief hit so hard it almost hurt.Darius noticed her awake first. He stood immediately, crossing the room in seconds.“Hey,” he said softly, crouching beside the bed. “Easy.”Lila hadn’t even realized she was shaking until he took her hand.The trembling worsened instantly.Images flashed violently through her mind—Marcus grabbing her in the f

Lila's pov The warehouse exploded into chaos.The sound of splintering metal thundered through the building as Bloodmoon warriors stormed through the lower level like a force of nature. Shouts echoed against rusted walls, followed almost immediately by snarls, crashes, and the unmistakable sound of wolves colliding in violent combat.Lila’s heart slammed against her ribs.They were here.Relief hit so hard it nearly made her collapse.Marcus spun toward the warehouse entrance, panic finally cracking through his fury. “No—”A deafening howl cut him off.Darius.The sound alone carried enough rage to freeze the blood.Then came the fighting.One of Marcus’s rogue allies flew backward across the warehouse floor hard enough to smash through a crate. Another barely managed to raise his weapon before Ronan appeared from the shadows behind him with terrifying speed, disarming him in seconds before driving him hard into the concrete.Bloodmoon moved like a single living thing.The ritual bon

Lila's pov Consciousness returned slowly, dragging pain behind it like chains.For several long seconds, Lila floated in darkness, aware only of the burning ache spreading through her body. Her head throbbed violently, and every breath carried the bitter scent of wolfsbane into her lungs. The poison clung to her skin and settled heavily inside her veins, weakening her wolf until even shifting felt impossible.Then the memories came rushing back.The forest.Marcus.The cloth pressed over her mouth.The terrifying realization that she couldn’t fight him off because the ritual had left her too weak.Her eyes snapped open.Dim yellow light flickered overhead from an old industrial lamp hanging crookedly from the ceiling. Rain hammered against rusted metal walls somewhere outside, and cold air drifted through broken windows high above the warehouse floor.Lila tried to move immediately.Metal restraints jerked tight around her wrists.The chains rattled loudly in the silence.Pain shot t

Lila's pov I was alive.Kade knew it with absolute certainty.The bond still existed.Thin.Strained.Painfully distant.But alive.And that was the only thing keeping him from completely losing control.The war room had descended into chaos within minutes of my disappearance.Pack warriors rushed through the compound preparing weapons and shifting patrol routes while alarms echoed through Bloodmoon territory. Wolves moved at full speed through the halls carrying messages between units as panic spread rapidly through the bond.Their luna was gone.And everyone felt it.Kade stood at the center of the room gripping the edge of the strategy table so hard the wood cracked beneath his fingers.The fury rolling through the bond was almost unbearable.Darius paced like a caged predator, eyes glowing dangerously every few seconds as his wolf pushed closer to the surface.Ronan looked the calmest.Which somehow made him the most terrifying.His expression had gone completely cold.Focused.L

Ronan’s POVShe runs like someone still expecting to be chased.Not fast. Not reckless. Controlled. Every stride measured, every breath deliberate. She cuts through the pines on the north trail just before dawn, when the mist is thickest and the world is still half-asleep. She thinks no one sees he
MARKED BY THE THREE ALPHAS Chapter Fifteen
The days after the war room meeting fell into a strange, almost peaceful rhythm, one that felt both fragile and hard-won.Lila woke each morning to the same sounds: distant howls fading into birdsong, the low rumble of pack members starting their day, the occasional sharp laugh from Jace or Cole in

Lila’s POVThe dream starts the same way it always does.I’m back in the garden behind the Silver Moon pack house. Moonlight spills over the grass like spilled milk, cold and pale. Marcus stands under the willow tree, smiling that slow, oily smile that never reaches his eyes. He’s wearing the same

Lila's pov The knock on my door comes just after lunch.I’m still in the borrowed sweatpants and T-shirt Maya lent me, hair damp from the quick rinse I took after patrol. When I open it, it’s not Maya or Jace or even Darius.It’s Kade.He stands there in the hallway, arms loose at his sides, black
