บททั้งหมดของ Mate’s revenge : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Under the gray, chilly sky, the pack had assembled. Dominick's voice sliced through the tense atmosphere like a blade."Bring him forward."Caleb was pulled into the circle by two enforcers. His clothes were ripped, and his face was bruised. They believed that Caleb had been a faithful member of the pack for many years. He was now charged with betraying them all."Caleb," Dominick said in a composed yet steely voice, "you were spotted close to Marcus prior to the assault. For weeks, you have been behaving strangely. And now we discover this.Marcus handed Dominick the parchment, which he held up. Unquestionably powerful, the symbols on it glowed dimly.Caleb shook his head, his eyes widening. “I swear, I didn’t betray the pack. I..,,I didn’t have a choice!”Lisa stepped forward, her voice sharp. “No choice? What does that mean, Caleb? Who compelled you?”Caleb’s gaze flashed about, desperate. “Varek. He... he endangered my family. He threatened to kill them all if I didn't assist him.

Tension was in the air in the packhouse. Even though his chest felt like it was giving out, Dominick stood at the center of the group, his face a mask of calm. Dissident mutterings echoed through the gathering around him."You abandoned Marcus to perish!" A shrill, accusing voice broke out. Caleb was speaking, his voice bolded by the audience. "How can we have faith in a leader who disregards his own?"Dominick's jaw tightened, but he took a moment to react. He looked across the room and saw anguish, fury, and, worst of all, uncertainty."He didn't desert Marcus," Lisa interrupted in a strong tone. With her hand on Dominick's arm, she stood alongside him. "After Varek got away, Dominick had to decide whether to defend the other members of the pack."Caleb laughed. "Keep the pack safe? While one of our own bled out, we chased a ghost? Is that what you call leadership?"Enough!" The room fell silent as Dominick's voice boomed. His sharp eyes locked with Caleb's. "I didn't make that deci

"Are you crazy?" Marcus slammed his hand down on the map that was lying on the table and hissed. "It is suicide to venture into rogue territory!"Dominick had a stare that could have sliced through steel. And it's possible to leave Lisa there? Whatever it takes, I don't care. We will get her back.With a grim yet determined expression, Chelsea folded her arms. "Dominick is correct. We will lose her if we do nothing now. And if Varek manages to seize her authority...The inference was obvious even if her voice trailed off.Marcus raked his fingers through his hair, his every motion marked with frustration. "All right. However, this is more than a simple rescue effort. You are aware that we are about to fall into a trap."Whether it's a trap or not, I don't care," Dominick snarled. "I'm concerned about Lisa. That is the only thing that counts.With her piercing eyes fixed on the map, Chelsea nodded. We enter at the break of day. We'll cross the ravine on the east side. It is the least p

Dominick felt a chill when Lisa's low, frightening growl reverberated around the area. Her unnaturally bright eyes met his, lacking the affection and warmth he had usually experienced."Lisa," he murmured quietly, his voice shaking with determination and terror. It's me. It's Dominick.She didn't answer. Rather, the dark energy swirled around her like a maelstrom, and she bared her teeth in a predatory position.Despite the force pushing him away, Dominick stepped closer and begged Lisa to fight this. "I am aware that you are inside. You're stronger than this, I know that!With a snarl that sounded more animal than human, she swung her claws out to strike. Dominick narrowly escaped as the blow's ferocity carved deep slashes into the ground where he stood.His voice broke as he continued, "Don't make me do this." "Please, Lisa."The wolf spirit inside her spoke through her lips, its voice blended with hers in a haunting echo, yet her expression twisted into something terrible."Now she

Before them lay the battlefield, a tumultuous jumble of claws, blood, and snarls. Amid the confusion, Dominick held Lisa's shaking hand and their eyes briefly locked.His voice was firm but low as he questioned, "Are you with me?""Always," she said, although her pallor and the faint shudder in her voice indicated that she was becoming weaker.With the fragment of the Obsidian Stone flashing menacingly in his hand, Kael stood at the center of the conflict. He was surrounded by a pulsating swirl of shadows that served as a clear reminder of the peril they were in.The dark energy whirling around him magnified Kael's sneer, "You've come to die." "How appropriate for a broken mate and a so-called Alpha."Dominick advanced, his wolf snarling ferociously. "What it means to fight for something worth dying for is something you'll never comprehend."Dark energy surged toward them as Kael raised his hand. Just as the explosion tore through the ground where they had stood, Dominick jerked Lisa
