The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate Chapter Forty-Seven
IVY’S POVThe next morning, they called an emergency meeting. Not to punish me, but to “review the security risk.” The room was packed with murmuring council members, high-ranking wolves, and curious spectators who smelled of judgment and tension.Kane stood beside me at the center of the stone-floored chamber. His presence was a silent warning: no one touches her.But I didn’t hide behind him.I stood tall. But my legs still ached.Elder Risa, her white braid coiled tightly at her neck, leaned forward. “Luna Ivy… this power. Do you understand it?”“No,” I said honestly. “But I’m learning.”“Can you control it?”“Not yet. But I will.”A few murmurs rippled through the room. Elder Risa’s voice remained calm. “Then until you can prove that, perhaps it’s wise that you refrain from training sessions.”Before Kane could object, I stepped forward. “With respect, Elder… that’s the fastest way to ensure I never learn to control it.”She blinked. Surprised by my steadiness.Kane crossed his a

IVY’S POVI didn’t sleep.Even after the glow faded, even after Kane finally laid beside me, breathing steady and close, I stared at the ceiling, haunted by the quiet crackle beneath my skin. Every blink felt like lightning behind my eyes. Every breath buzzed with something unnatural.I slipped from the bed before first light, silent as shadow.Kane didn’t stir.I wrapped the wool blanket tighter around my shoulders, pulled my boots over the bandaged soles of my feet, and slipped through the quiet halls of the pack house like a ghost.The cold bit deeper the farther I walked from warmth and light.I needed space, I needed answers, and I needed silence.Not Kane’s assurances, not the pack’s stares, not even the warmth of the fire that once comforted me.*************The forest was still damp with dew, the leaves whispering beneath my boots as I moved deeper into the trees. There was an old clearing past the ridge, forgotten and overgrown. The place I could fall apart unseen.I dropp

IVY’S POVThe morning sun hadn’t fully crested the treeline when Kane called for training.He said it was to “rebuild morale.”I knew the truth. It was to remind the pack where strength resided, especially after last night.Word of my Trial had spread like wildfire. Some now looked at me with awe, others with thinly veiled suspicion.Kane stood at the edge of the training field, arms folded, his gaze sweeping over the assembled wolves like a blade.“Pair up,” he commanded.I stayed near the back. My feet still throbbed with every step, though I refused to limp. The gauze beneath my boots was soaked through with salve, but I was there present and accounted for.I wasn’t going to be the whisper behind the rumor, I would face it head-on.Derick, cold and expressionless, didn’t even look my way as he sparred with one of the younger Alphas. Elder Merek hadn’t shown at all.Kane called my name. “Ivy, come with me.”A murmur rippled through the crowd of course.I walked forward, standing acr

IVY’S POVThat Night, Kane and I arrived at the trial ground. They called it the Path of Fire. A ritual older than most packs remembered, rooted in pain, spirit, and resilience. A test of loyalty.The firestones weren’t literal flames, but they might as well have been. Each slab of stone was scorched with ancestral magic, forged to burn through weakness and expose the soul beneath.Only those deemed worthy could pass.The crowd gathered like wolves circling blood. Cold air. Sharp whispers. And Merek, standing beside the stones like a vulture in robes.Kane stood at my side, his hand trembling slightly in mine. That single tremor meant more than anything he could say.“You don’t have to do this,” he whispered.“I do,” I replied. “For them and also for us.”He turned me to face him. “I should have shut this down. I should have…”“You didn’t. Because you knew I needed to stand.”His throat bobbed as he looked into my eyes. “If you fall…”“I won’t.”He swallowed hard. Then pressed his for

IVY’S POVThe next day, the wind bit harder than usual that morning, despite the sun burning white against the winter sky. I walked beside Kane through the center of the pack grounds, our hands no longer hidden or hesitant.But even in the light of day, I felt it. The shift, the judgment. The anger pulsing beneath every glance cast my way.The pack had barely tolerated me. But now… now that Kane had spoken for me, stood for me, something had broken loose.And it was coming. I felt it before I saw him.Elder Merek, one of the oldest, most traditional voices in the Northern Bloodline. A man who had known Kane’s father, worshipped him like a prophet. A man who would rather see me burned than bowed to.He stepped into our path like a shadow rising, his white hair wild around a face lined with pride and disdain.“Alpha,” he said, voice tight and controlled. “A word.”Kane didn’t release my hand. “Say what you came to say.”Elder Merek’s gaze flicked to me, lips curling.“In private please.
The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate Chapter Forty-Two
KANE’S POVThe night dragged on.I sat alone in the war room, the map of the territories spread across the long oak table in front of me, but I wasn’t seeing it.I was seeing her. IVY, the girl with fire in her blood and light in her eyes.My mate. My weakness. My war.I exhaled slowly, running a hand through my hair. The candlelight flickered, casting shadows that danced across the parchment like spirits mocking me.“She’s the Goddess’s chosen,” I muttered to myself. “And I’m falling in love with her.”Falling? No. I already had.And that terrified me more than anything.Because love made promises. And I had already made one I couldn’t break.“Finish what I started, Kane,” my father’s voice echoed in my mind. “Wipe out the Moonborne. Their line must end with you.”I’d sworn it on his deathbed. With blood on my hands and grief in my throat.And now the last of them was in my bed, wrapped around my soul, marked by my teeth.I glanced down at my hand, still faintly stained with the scen
