All Chapters of The Alpha's Obsession : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

The clinking of silverware and rising murmur of laughter filled the Pack House’s great hall. Tables were lined with steaming platters of roasted vegetables, herb-buttered meats, baskets of honey rolls, and savory dishes that made Elena’s stomach flutter with gratitude more than hunger.She sat beside Asher at the head of the table—her hand nestled in his, their shoulders pressed gently together. The title “Luna” didn’t feel so foreign tonight. Not with the warmth of her mate beside her and the soft hum of the pack’s unity pulsing through the room.Asher stood, his broad frame commanding attention. He raised a glass, his voice strong but full of emotion.“To the mothers who raise our warriors, the friends who become family, and the mates who keep us tethered when the storms rage too strong,” he said, gaze flicking to Elena. “To the bonds that hold, even after loss. Tonight, we eat together not because we are many—but because we are one.”A few gasps rang softly. Several wolves stood to

Kade leaned in toward Elena, brushing a strand of hair from her face. She flinched, but didn’t scream. “So protective. Just like your father was before he let this land rot.”Elena's breathing turned shallow.Asher’s fists curled at his sides.“You want to know how I got in?” Kade taunted. “Old trails. Ones your father never secured. You’re cleaning up a failure of generations. But it won’t matter. I’m here now.”He looked at Elena again. “And you? You’re just a bonus. The perfect way to get under his skin.”Elena felt the heat of Asher’s fury pulse through their bond. She held it, fed it her calm, her anchor.“I’m here. I’m with you,” she whispered again in the link.“I came for vengeance,” Kade said, turning back to Asher. “You. Your name. Your bloodline. All of it ends. Tonight, tomorrow—I don’t care. But it ends.”Asher took a step forward, slow and deliberate. “Touch her again. I dare you.”“I think I will.”Kade’s fingers trailed Elena’s cheek. Her eyes filled with tears—but she

She wiped the blood from his cheek with the edge of her sleeve, her touch shaking, reverent, desperate. Then she kissed his hand—cool, stained red, unmoving.“You promised me,” she whispered, her lips brushing the back of his knuckles. “Forever, remember?”Her fingers ran through his tangled hair, pushing it away from his forehead. The strands stuck together, matted with blood, but she didn’t care.The world blurred around her, disappearing as the past roared to the surface—an avalanche of every shared smile, whispered vow, and laugh that ever passed between them.“You’re mine,” he’d said the first time they made love, voice hoarse, reverent. “Mine, Lena. Always.”She could still hear his laugh echoing in her mind—full and contagious—like it had been just hours ago. How his hazel eyes crinkled at the corners when she teased him. How they darkened with desire when he looked at her like she was the only thing that existed.The memory of their moonlight promises, lying under the stars, w

ELENA'S POVAfter my tormented scream,everything was pin drop silent, Icouldn't even hear how badly myheart was beating. How loud my sobswere that were filled with such unruly,never ending hopelessness. Not eventhe howls from the wolves of the packthat were paying respect to their alpha.I slowly lifted my head to see everyonewas watching me.A loud high pitched sound resonatedthroughout the woods and wind blew,pushing the leaves to swirl in the airaround me. I watched as some of theleaves on the ground were forced asidecreating a type of path. Then a lightsurrounded the forest across from meand I winced. My eyes squinted atthe now bright white light that shinedthrough, lighting up the whole area. Noone reacted to the loud sound but, me.When I followed the trail with myeyes, a slim figure emerged from thelight in the forest. I caught sight of longplatinum hair that flowed down. Asthe person came closer and closer, thelight dimmed out. Upon her head sat agolden

Asher's POVAfter Asher's death: The white ceiling was the first thing I came to see when I opened my eyes. I gasped and sat up in a quickness. My first instinct was to look down at my once bloody body but, now I was clean of any blood. I touched my rib cage and looked around, noticing that I wasn't out in the forest. Instead, I was at my house in my living room."Elena?" I called out in pure confusion. I didn't know what this was but, all I was thinking about was her.I didn't get an answer as I rose to my feet and walked to the stairs to run up them."Elena!" I shouted louder, panic crawling up my spine. A growing feeling of pain settled itself within my gut.‘She’s not here,’ Leo stated with such a sad tone, almost like nothing meant anything anymore.“What do you mean she’s not here?” I asked, my voice trembling. “You smell her, right? You feel her?”Leo was quiet for a moment before replying. ‘I do… but it’s like her presence is everywhere and nowhere. It’s wrong. It feels… empt
