Semua Bab The Stripper Alpha: Bab 51 - Bab 57

ZAHRA-ROSEI stared at her, eyes wide, because what the hell does she mean by that?“I don’t understand,” I said, disbelief spreading through me like wildfire. Even Eira went silent at the mention of what Luna Verena had just said.“Yes,” she drawled, tilting her head, “what part of what I said don’t you understand?” Her sharp gaze pinned me in place, searching for even the smallest sign of hesitation, but I wasn’t giving her that satisfaction. She didn’t deserve it.‘But we can’t fight her,’ Eira moaned softly in my head.And she was right. We couldn’t. And the Luna knew that too, which is why she said something as ridiculous as this, right in front of everyone.“I mean,” Luna Verena continued smoothly, “with the way things are going, it’s only a matter of time before my son, the Alpha, formally names you Luna of Moonshine Pack. As the Alpha’s mate, you will be the representative of all she-wolves and women in the pack. We need to know your strength before that happens, don’t you th

A new day.And I had no idea what it held for me.‘You’re still alive,’ Eira taunted, her voice teasing inside my mind.A small, unwilling smile touched my lips. My body ached from yesterday’s bruises, but it was my pride that hurt the most. The sting of humiliation was far deeper than any physical wound.‘They think we are weak,’ Eira hissed, ‘or maybe they fear the strength we haven’t unleashed yet.’I sighed softly, stepping out of bed.“Are we really holding back strength, or are we truly weak, Eira?”I didn’t wait for her answer, I didn’t want to.As I opened the door, hushed voices carried through the hallway, faint but clear enough for my sharpened hearing to catch every word.
