Semua Bab Bullied by my stepsister; Claimed by the Alpha : Bab 101 - Bab 110

~RIYAThe wind was thick with tension as I stepped out of the ruined council chamber, now a graveyard of shattered traditions. My gown was torn, stained with sweat and ash, but I walked tall. My power had blossomed into something wild and unpredictable—a living thing that breathed with me. I could feel it pulsing beneath my skin like starlight waiting to explode.The River Heart Pack stood silently as I passed, their faces a mix of reverence, awe, and fear. Not long ago, they had doubted me. Some still did. But they all felt what happened inside the chamber. They all saw the light that poured from me when I banished the last remnants of Howard's deceit. They knew I was no longer just Nathaniel's Luna.I was becoming something else entirely.Maria ran up to me, clutching Lily's hand tightly. Her expression was wet with tears, but a smile burst through as she hugged me tightly. “You did it,” she whispered. “You broke through. Riya... you’re ready.”Ready for what? That was the question

~RIYAThe wind howled like a wounded beast as I stood at the edge of the battlefield. The sky, cloaked in red clouds, bled with the light of the looming Blood Moon overhead. My heart pounded against my ribcage like a war drum. All around me, the River Heart Pack was preparing for what might be the final confrontation with the witch hybrids. And Ama.Somewhere in the midst of this chaos, my stepsister—my enemy—was out there, waiting, brimming with dark magic and hatred.Maria stood beside me, her hands glowing faintly with healing magic. “The witches have pierced the outer barrier,” she whispered. “Nathaniel’s troops are holding, but barely.”I turned toward her, my hands already crackling with the strange blue energy that had become a second skin. “Where’s Nathaniel now?”“By the western wall,” she replied. “He’s fighting them head-on. The witch queen herself—Vireya—is leading that flank.”Vireya. That name chilled my spine. Rumors spoke of her as one of Inadu’s direct descendants, cr

~RIYAThe sky bled red over River Heart.I stood atop the highest balcony of the Alpha estate, my gaze sweeping over the ravaged land below. Trees once green were now blackened husks. The battle against the witch hybrids had left its mark, not just on the land—but on my people. And on me.A breeze swept my white cloak around my legs, tugging at my long silver-blonde hair like ghostly fingers. The wind carried the stench of burnt magic and the coppery scent of blood. My pulse beat steadily beneath my skin, but every throb was a reminder—I had come far, but I had not yet finished what I was born to do.Behind me, the doors creaked open."She's waiting for you," Lily whispered.I turned slowly. "Where?"Lily didn’t meet my eyes. "At the Moonstone Clearing."The Moonstone Clearing. The sacred ground that lay between the boundary of River Heart and the Shadowed Glen—the place where Ama had vanished days ago, swallowed by the earth during our last confrontation. Only now, something darker s

~RIYAThe full moon hung like a guardian above the battlefield, casting silver light across the devastation. Blood soaked the once-verdant meadows of River Heart, and the air trembled with the lingering vibrations of magic and pain. My feet barely touched the ground as I ran, my heartbeat syncing with the thunderous growls of wolves locked in brutal combat and the shrieking war cries of witches descending from the skies.This was it. The breaking point. The end of everything or the beginning of something new.Nathaniel fought in the distance, his hulking wolf form holding off three witch-beasts at once. I saw the glimmer of steel in his eyes even through the chaos. He was alive. He was still fighting. And so was I.Ama's betrayal burned like acid in my chest. Her alliance with the witches of Witch Inadu had opened a gate of destruction we hadn’t foreseen. They were not merely witches—they were hybrids, twisted with the blood of werewolves, stronger than either race alone. And Ama, my

~RIYAI stood in the center of the ruined battlefield, barefoot and blood-smeared, the scent of magic and iron heavy in the air. The wind whispered through the trees like it was mourning, and for a moment, I just stood there—still, breathless, listening to the echoes of a war that had almost broken us.River Hearts Pack lands were scorched. Craters dotted the once-lush forest floor where the witches' spells had exploded. Fires still smoldered in the distance, and the sky remained stubbornly grey, like the heavens were unsure whether to cry or finally let the sun shine again.Behind me, healers rushed between the injured. I could hear the low hum of Maria’s voice as she coordinated, her usually calm tone sharp with urgency. I looked for Nathaniel, my bond tugging faintly toward where he was leading the last wave of cleanup and securing prisoners. My heart ached to run to him, but I couldn’t—not yet.There was something I still had to do.I walked slowly, deliberately, toward what remai
