Semua Bab THE OUTCAST’S ALPHA MATE: LOVE AND REDEMPTION: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Reyland did not move, did not speak.He knew his father well.This could not be rushed.Dax circled Reyland, twice.“What…has happened?” Dax whispered hoarsely.Reyland smiled in his heart. He had expected, ‘what have you done’ or ‘what has she done to you’, but instead, his father, the Alpha of Lightmoon pack, the wolf he respected and loved more than any who had ever existed, had asked a question that did not cast blame on anyone.He wanted to kneel, to kiss his father’s bare feet, but this was not the time.“Her blood, father, it is like fire,” Reyland replied in awe as he watched his father assess him.“Are you in pain?” Dax asked slowly.“No. I feel strong, I feel energized. It’s like there is electricity running through me,” Reyland responded confidently.“When did you notice this?” Dax inquired breathily.“I didn’t. It happened after we – I ingested her blood and I woke up like this,” Reyland said, editing the events for his father’s ears, and the wellness of his father’s mind.

Reyland shifted worried eyes to Byron.The doctor shook his head, then glanced at the stairs, silently asking Reyland to go up.Reyland nodded and left the doctor and patient alone.==========Dax slept, just like Corien had the day before.For him, now that Remembrance Day was over, his duty, for now, was over.His son, whom he had been protecting, had, with his own hand, embraced the very thing he was trying to keep away from him. The deed had been done. That concern was now over.His pack was in the hands of good men: his Beta, his heir. That trouble was over.For Alpha Dax, only one thing was left – Bloodrayne; and that would be done in the next two days, before the year was through.He had decided to move the attack date forward, to the thirtieth of the month, instead of the thirty-first.The disruption the date change would cause would keep their allies busy for a little while – they would not ha

“If I say I will protect you, have you grown so bold as to accuse me of lying?” Dax retorted quietly, his steady gaze holding his son’s nervous one.“If you fight him –” Reyland pushed back urgently.“Who said anything about fighting?” Dax cut in again.He placed his second hand on Reyland’s other shoulder and turned the large man to face him.“I will protect you. This pack, will protect you. Your brother, will protect you. That…she-wolf, will protect you,” Dax continued.Reyland’s lips parted as his eyes widened.“Do you know that she offered an oath for you?” Dax continued flatly before Reyland could interject.Reyland gasped. He made to step back, but his father held him in place.Dax stared at him, nodding slowly.“She asked my leave to bind her life to yours,” Dax stated dryly.“Fa–” Reyland breathed, shaking his head as his father continued to nod.“She said she would give her life for you,” Dax drone

After Marian had gone into her dorm, leaving Dorien alone outside, Dorien had gone off alone to let off some steam.He knew his father had gone to see Reyland.He could not face his Luna, Risa, at that moment, not with where his head and heart were at. So, she had not been an option.Not even for the calming techniques he was supposed to be learning from her – not that they ever actually did what they were supposed to be doing during those sessions.He had never regretted mixing pleasure with his meditations, until most recently.He could feel the strain within him, but was losing the battle of control, every day.He knew it.He could sense it.But he was slowly, steadily going past the point of caring.He had not wanted anyone telling him to calm down, which was what Beta Brock would say, and he really couldn’t stand to see, let alone hear, Alpha Corien’s or Luna Diane’s neutral or positive reass

“I mean, what do you call a girl who jumps from one guy to the next without so much as batting an eyelash?” Dorien continued calmly, with no break in his tone.“And brother’s no less, I mean, fine, maybe she’s not a whore, but she definitely is a homewrecker, of some sort, at the very least.”The door flung open.Dorien was wearing a smug smile, with a brow raised, to greet his brother.His eyes took in the person standing before him.Instantly, Dorien paled.He staggered backward.Reyland blinked, his own face going from red to grey, then green.His large hands began to shake, then he started to fidget, his fingers running against each other as he glanced away from his little brother.Reyland closed his eyes, cursing under his breath.Dorien’s mouth fell open.Finally, the Noble Alpha found his voice.“What. The. Hell?” Dorien rasped.&ldq
