Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Surprising Tribute: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

I would never admit it aloud, but today was more than I could handle. And I still had more to come. First Zaya got sick. Which is probably normal with any pregnancy. Though inside, it hurt me to see her that way. Bent over in pain and unable to truly offer her any comfort. Then Audrey finds out our secret. And now I had to agree to letting Anna in on it. Which is dangerous itself. She just mated with a wolf that is not from our pack. I had a hard enough time making sure my brother didn’t tell his mate who is one hundred percent loyal to my mate. I wasn’t lying when I said we all trust Anna. But soon, she will be a part of her mate’s pack. Eager to win their approval and trust she could fold under pressure and give in. Sure, Alpha Brax is loyal to the invisible crown I wear, and he has always claimed to be loyal to my family as well. But only time will tell if someone is really who they claim to be. With all this on my mind, I still must deal with the update Crane was about to g

Zaya POVAudrey asked if she could trail along while I had my talk with Anna. And I almost agreed. But this was something I wanted to do alone. Especially since Anna would be gone soon and I wasn’t sure where that would leave our friendship.Anna was my first pack friend. If that was a thing. She was there for me when my parents were taken by Evander. When I found out my human boyfriend had moved on. When I found out Godric was my mate. We shared so much in such a short time. And now she was leaving.I feel like we didn’t get enough time together. We didn’t have enough memories.My knock on her door was followed by a small thud behind it. A few seconds later, she swung it open. Fast and hard. She looked embarrassed. With her hair messy, a white sheet draped across her body and dragging behind her.She released a breathy voice, “Luna!”I throw my hand across my mouth in efforts to contain my laughter. Only when I was confident the giggles had gone, I finally spoke. “I can come back lat

POV ZayaMy time with Luna Tari went well. We talked for awhile about a little of everything. My time growing up with humans. Her life with the wolves.Her strengths and weaknesses as a Luna. The in and outs, the dos and don’ts. She shared her advice of being a Luna. And I shared my thoughts on everything to let her know how I appreciated her guidance but that I also had my own mind.By the time we were redressing, I could honestly say I knew all there was to know about Tari. I could also say that we both felt a little more relaxed.We left the locker room laughing with our arms entangled, but stopped dead in our tracks when we locked eyes with our mates.“There they are!” Alpha Brax said looking amused.Tari released my arm and ran to her mate as if she hadn’t seen him in days. I hung back watching their exchange, while Godric watched me. It was awkward at best. We should be just as loving as them, but we weren’t.He smiled at me, and I smiled back. Then we waited until they acknow

Godric POV“We should have killed him already. He’s been alive way too long.” Alex shouted and his eyes turned black. His wolf wanted to be loose. At this moment, we all hated Alpha Dagon. I held my hand in the air and brought it down to let him know he was too loud.“We are going to take care of him, brother. You have my word.”Alex nodded and he tried to calm himself. He was right. Alpha Dagon needed to be put down and we probably needed to evaluate his entire pack. Who knows what else he is hiding.“Alpha.” Crane reminded us of why we were meeting.“So Alpha Dragon is making noise?”“Not sure if he is, but I definitely heard something interesting from his pack member.”“Spit it out!” My brother spoke, obviously no longer patient.Crane ignored his irritation, but he didn’t hesitate. “I heard a guy say that you killed Evander out of jealousy. That Evander and Zaya were really close.” Crane lowered his gaze at that last statement.“How close?” I asked.“Close enough to make you kil

Godric POVThe dinner had long since ended. After Anna left, my mother gave us quite a long talk about duty and honor. I couldn’t wait for it to be over. I couldn’t wait to be alone with my mate.There was only one question coming to my mind. Only one thought, which I voiced as soon as we entered the comfort of our own room. “I thought you told her the other day.”Zaya stood opposite me on the other side of the room. “Well, I didn’t. Okay.” She folded her arms and started to pace back and forth.“Why are you upset? This is what you wanted right?”“What I wanted?” She paused to get a better look at me. “I didn’t want one of my closest friends to feel alienated in front of everyone she loves.”I sighed, “I didn’t want that either. And that is not what I meant.”With her arms still folded, she shifted onto her other foot. “Oh. You meant me wanting the world to know that I’m pregnant.”I simply nodded.“Why did you have to call her out like that? It could have been any one of us to tell.
