Semua Bab The Lycan King's Hybrid Mate: Bab 121 - Bab 125

Jensen's Point of View I sit behind my desk, the morning sun pouring in through the tall window behind me, casting warm streaks of light across the wood grain. My coffee's gone cold, untouched since I set it down. My fingers trace the rim of the mug absently as my thoughts wander back to breakfast with Rosalee. It had been… nice. Warm. For a few minutes, it had felt almost normal, like before everything fell apart. But I should’ve known something was coming, there was a tension in her eyes, a determination under the surface of her smile. And then she said it. “I want to help and fight in the trap set for Crimsonclaw.” I exhale slowly, rubbing the back of my neck as I lean back in my chair. That familiar ache is there again, a tight coil of conflict deep in my chest. I still don’t know how I feel about her joining the fight. On one hand, the thought of her in danger turns my stomach. I still care about her. More than I’d like to admit. No matter how complicated it’s gotten betwee

Rosalee's Point of View It’s 13:30, the clock on the wall ticking steadily in Jensen’s home office, but still no word from him. I sit on the edge of the couch, my foot bouncing anxiously. I keep glancing at my phone, willing it to light up. What if the alphas don’t trust me? What if they see me as Crimsonclaw’s spy, no matter what I’ve done to prove otherwise?

Her eyes scan me from head to toe, taking in my training clothes. “Great,” she says bluntly. “You’re already dressed. Jensen talked to the alphas, they’ve agreed to fight with you.” I release a breath I didn’t realize I was holding, relief softening my tense shoulder

Rosalee's Point of ViewI sit quietly in front of the mirror, the morning light filtering in through the window casting a soft glow over the room. My fingers tremble slightly as I finish braiding my hair, tying it off tightly at the end. It feels like a small act of control, something solid in the midst of the storm churning in my stomach. I stare at my reflection, trying to convince myself, I’m ready. I repeat the words silently, again and again. But no matter how many times I say it, the knot in my gut won’t loosen.Today is the day we face Crimsonclaw. Today is the day I face my mother... The day everything changes.A knock at the door pulls me from my thoughts. I stand, my legs feeling a little unsteady beneath me, and quickly cross the room. When I open the door, Jensen stands there, his expression grim and unreadable. He’s already dressed for battle, his eyes sharper than usual, his mouth set in a tight line.“It’s time,” he says, his voice low and steady.I nod my head, not tru
