The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 165 - Old Law, Sharp Teeth
Veyne didn’t bother with pleasantries.“You overstepped.” he said the moment we entered the Council chamber.The doors boomed shut behind us, sealing the sound like a verdict. The room smelled like old paper and older grudges - ink, dust, and the faint metallic tang of blood. That was really peculiar sensation in a quite new mansion.Bereth sat at the center of the table, fingers steepled, his expression carved into something neutral enough to pass for wisdom. Halvorsen leaned back in his chair, thick arms crossed, mouth already pulled into a scowl like this entire meeting was a personal inconvenience he intended to survive through brute irritation alone.Veyne stood.A subtle assertion of height, of dominance, of the unspoken idea that he answered to no one - not even the table he supposedly served.“I followed the law.” I replied calmly. “Your favorite thing.”Cameron didn’t move beside me, but I felt him - solid, contained, a predator choosing stillness. The bond hummed between us,
The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 164 - The Rite of Counterclaim
I learned something important that day: power doesn’t announce itself with shouting. It pauses. It waits. And then it steps forward when everyone else thinks the moment has passed.The great hall was still buzzing when Cameron and I finally broke away. Conversations snapped shut as we passed. Eyes followed. Calculations were made quietly, behind polite nods and murmured courtesies. Some of them pitied me. More than a few of them were already deciding whether I was worth betraying later.I didn’t let any of it show."What have you done?" he mindlinked me. With curiosity and maybe a little... amusement . "Later. I will explain everything when we will be alone. Now let's go. Quick." I hushed him in response.The corridor leading east was colder than the rest of the mansion. My boots echoed softly as we walked, Cameron half a step behind me. Matching me.“They think I’ll hesitate and I will loose.” he said quietly.I didn’t slow. “They think I’ll behave and I will let it happen.”He le
The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 163 - The Announcement and the Knife
They announced it at noon.Of course they did.The great hall was dressed for ceremony - banners restored, long tables cleared, the old stone floor polished until it reflected light like a mirror. Witnesses arrived in waves: Alphas, Betas, ranked wolves from packs that had learned long ago that absence was a political statement. No one wanted to be absent from this.I stood beside Cameron at the front of the hall, my spine straight, my expression calm. If anyone expected me to look afraid, they would be disappointed.But my wolf was coiled tight inside me, every instinct screaming that this was a trap dressed up as tradition.The Council arrived last.Five men. Same faces. Same entitlement. Bereth walked at the center, Veyne half a step behind him, hands folded, eyes already calculating. They took their places on the raised platform without acknowledging us.Witnesses rose. Silence fell.Bereth stepped forward. “By authority of the Northern Council,” he intoned, voice echoing through
The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 162 - The Clause That Was Never Meant to Be Used
There are silences that ring. This one did. The words the clause concerning mates hung in the air long after the messenger fell quiet, heavy enough to press against my ribs. I could feel Cameron’s pulse through the bond - fast, controlled, furious. Not panic. Calculation.That scared me more.Rowan was the first to move. He turned sharply toward the messenger. “Which Councilor approved the petition?”The man hesitated. “It was filed through Councilor Bereth’s office, but…” He swallowed. “It required secondary validation.”“By whom?” Silas asked.The messenger looked at me again. “Councilor Veyne.”The name landed wrong. Veyne wasn’t loud like Bereth. He wasn’t brutish like Halvorsen. He was quiet. Legal. The kind of man who hid knives in footnotes.Damon swore. “That rat’s been waiting for this.”Cameron finally spoke. “Explain the clause.”No one rushed to answer. Because everyone in the room knew what it was. They just didn’t want to be the one to say it out loud.I straightened in
The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 161 - The Council
Morning arrived wearing a lie.Sunlight poured through the tall windows like everything was normal. Like the world hadn’t tilted on its axis sometime between poison and survival, between water and fire, between what Cameron was willing to become and what others would try to stop him from being.The mansion was awake in that restrained, watchful way it got before something went wrong.I noticed the details now. The extra guards along the eastern corridor. The servants moving faster, quieter. The way conversations dropped when I entered a room. Anticipation clung to the air like static.I dressed with intention. - No softness. No invitation. No apology - Dark trousers. A fitted jacket. Boots I could stand in for hours. My hair pulled back tight enough to keep my wolf from pacing under my skin. I didn’t want to look like a mate today.I wanted to look like a problem.Cameron watched me from the doorway, already dressed, already Alpha-still. His eyes followed my movements - not possessive
The Curvy Heiress: Lost Werewolf Sister Chapter 160 - The Weight
The mansion loomed through the trees like it always did - solid, immovable, pretending it hadn’t just watched us disappear into the woods and come back changed.We walked the last stretch in silence.Not the awkward kind. The settled kind. The kind that came after something decisive, something that didn’t need to be named to be real. Our hands brushed once, twice, then stayed close without touching. The bond between us had quieted into a deep, steady warmth, like embers banked low but very much alive.The front doors opened before we reached them.Someone had been watching.Cameron’s jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. “Room first.”“Agreed.” I said. My hair was still damp, my clothes clinging in ways that would absolutely not go unnoticed by four highly observant Alpha brothers.We took the stairs two at a time.The door to our room closed behind us with a solid click, and for the first time since the lake, the world exhaled.Steam rose faintly from my clothes as I leaned back agains
