MARKED BY THE THREE ALPHAS Chapter Thirty Five
Lila's pov The plan formed in silence before it was ever spoken aloud.Morning crept slowly into the ravine, pale light filtering through the broken canopy above. The forest beyond remained tense, like it was holding its breath. Even the wind seemed cautious here.I sat beside Kade and Victoria, watching Darius.He hadn’t slept.I could feel it through the bond, not exhaustion, but something sharper. Focus. Resolve. And beneath it, a deep, steady current of anger that had finally found direction.“This is the only way,” I said quietly.Darius didn’t look at me. “There are other ways.”“Not clean ones,” Kade replied.That got his attention.Darius turned slightly, his expression guarded. “You think challenging him is clean?”“It’s lawful,” Kade said. “And that matters.”Victoria shifted beside us, her hands clasped tightly in her lap. “He’s right. Pack law still holds weight, even now. Gregor can twist it, but he can’t ignore it ,not in front of everyone.”I leaned forward slightly.“

Lila's pov The moment we crossed deeper into Ashford territory, everything changed.It wasn’t just the scent.It was the feeling.The forest here felt… wrong.The trees stood too still, their branches clawing at the sky like silent witnesses. The air carried the sharp tang of fear beneath the usual earthy scents of pine and soil. Even the birds were quiet.Darius slowed beside me, his body going rigid.I felt it through the bond instantly, the flood of memories, heavy and suffocating. Pain layered over anger. Old wounds reopening like they had never truly healed.“This way,” he muttered, his voice tight.He didn’t look at either of us as he veered off the main trail, guiding us through a narrower path barely visible beneath overgrowth. His movements were precise, automatic, muscle memory taking over where his mind clearly didn’t want to go.Kade and I followed without question.“This leads to a blind spot near the outer dens,” Darius added after a moment. “Used to be where we’d sneak

Lila's pov The message arrived by raven at dawn.The sound came first, a harsh, insistent caw that cut through the quiet like a blade. It dragged me from sleep slowly, unwillingly, like I was being pulled up from deep water. The warmth around me made it harder to wake. Kade’s arm was draped protectively across my waist, and Darius’s steady breathing brushed against the back of my neck.For a moment, I didn’t move.Then the raven cried again.Ronan was already gone.I felt the shift in the room before I even opened my eyes fully, the absence of his presence like a missing piece in a pattern. He always moved like that. Silent. Efficient. As if he existed half a step ahead of everyone else.By the time I pushed myself up on one elbow, he was already returning.The raven perched on his forearm, dark eyes sharp and watchful. A small scroll was tied neatly to its leg.Ronan’s expression gave nothing away.“It’s for Darius,” he said.Darius stirred beside me with a quiet groan, dragging a h

Lila's pov The tension in the den was suffocating.We had barely spoken on the walk back from the forest. Darius walked ahead, shoulders hunched like he was carrying the weight of the world. Ronan moved silently beside me, his presence steady but distant. Kade kept glancing at all of us, his jaw tight with that controlled leadership mask he wore so well. By the time we stepped inside the alphas’ private den and closed the door, the air felt thick enough to choke on.Kade lit the fire and turned to face us, arms crossed. The flames cast long shadows across his face.“We’re not leaving this room until this is addressed,” he said, voice low but firm. “All of it. No more walking away. No more pretending it’s fine.”Darius dropped heavily into a chair, elbows on his knees, staring at the floor. “What do you want me to say? That I’m fine watching her laugh with Ronan like I don’t even exist? That I’m okay with her spending hours alone with you in the war room?”His voice cracked on the las

The tension had been building for days, like a storm cloud growing heavier and darker with every passing hour. I could feel it in the bond , Darius’s jealousy wasn’t just simmering anymore. It was boiling over, threatening to burn everything we’d built.I was sitting with Ronan on the edge of the training circle after a long strategy session. The sun was setting, painting the sky in deep oranges and purples. Ronan had been quietly explaining a new scouting technique, his voice low and calm as always. I laughed softly at one of his rare dry jokes, leaning slightly toward him as I responded.That was all it took.Darius appeared like a thunderclap. One moment the clearing was peaceful, the next he was storming toward us, shoulders rigid, fists clenched at his sides. His eyes burned with raw, unchecked fury.Ronan sensed him immediately and rose to his feet, calm but alert. I stood too, heart already hammering.“You two having a good time?” Darius snarled, voice thick with barely contain

The den was quiet in the aftermath.The others had slipped away sometime in the early hours, Darius with a lingering kiss to my shoulder, Ronan with a soft brush of his fingers across my cheek. I lay curled against Kade’s chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. His arm was draped over my waist, heavy and warm, but something felt… off. The bond hummed between us, but there was a tension in it, a guarded wall I could feel even in his silence.I shifted, propping myself up on one elbow so I could see his face. The fire had burned low, casting soft shadows across his sharp features. He looked at me, calm as ever, but I knew him now. I could feel the careful control he kept wrapped around himself like armor.“You’re pulling away,” I said softly. “Even now. I can feel it through the bond. You’re afraid.”Kade’s expression didn’t change, but his fingers tightened slightly on my hip. “I’m right here.”“Don’t do that.” My voice was gentle but firm. “Don’t deflect. Not with me.

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

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

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
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
