Semua Bab THE OUTCAST’S ALPHA MATE: LOVE AND REDEMPTION: Bab 51 - Bab 60

What Dorien knew, and knew well, was that his brother was a skilled strategist.He had seen through his act of changing the topic, but he had a lot of respect for his brother, almost as much respect as their father did.He was willing to be pulled along, in so far as it was a direction he was willing to go.“You, brother, are a real danger to this pack, do you know that?” he mumbled.“What do you mean?” Reyland asked lightly, stepping forward.A muscle in Dorien’s jaw ticked.As his back was to Reyland, Reyland did not see his face.And because Reyland was not practiced in using wolf abilities, he did not sense the change in Dorien’s aura.Dorien’s face was pale, his eyes were wide, as he stared ahead, looking at nothing, his eyes quaking in their sockets.He heard me? Dorien mused.He doesn’t take the blood. He hasn’t taken it since I forced him o

“Dax and I have had an understanding since the beginning.”“He is my brother, my other half.”“This has always been the case.”“Your mother, my mate, was the only person who separated us.”“When she came, when we met, my world became brighter. I became lighter. Something I did not know was missing, joined with a wandering wolf.”“Before her, there was only one road before me – blood, wars, death.”“When she showed up, I had options, choices, chances that I could never have dreamed of.”“Your mother…was my redemption.”He paused, his eyes filling as his chest heaved.Marian stared wide-eyed at her father.Since the battle, four years ago now, where both her mother and younger brother had died at Dax’s own hands, never had her father spoken about her mother.Not like this.Not with such pa

The shock made Marian’s reddening vision clear.Dinka retreated.She stared open-mouthed at her father.“Alpha,” Marian breathed, her hand moving absently to her bruised cheek, which was already healing.He stared down at her imperiously.“Do you hear me, Marian?” he pressed.Marian closed her eyes tightly and breathed in deeply. She sat back down on the bed, her back straight, opened her eyes, and nodded at her father.Corien sat at the edge of the bed, beside her.“They took their blood, every red moon, every blood moon. About two or three times a year,” he continued neutrally, his voice back to being mechanical.“They used it sparingly, storing it for months until they could replenish it.”“Only very few of his closest men got to use it. They got what they wanted, enhanced strength, speed, healing.”He was speaking faster now, coldly, cutt

“Nothing of this can be disclosed,” Tobias continued happily in the mind link with Misha.Tanner froze in his retreat, his back to his masters.“You, Tanner, will not speak of this to anyone,” Tobias continued in Tanner’s mind, pulling him into the secret conversation.“We will make all the plans, all the arrangements between us and a select few.”“Does the one who brought you the message understand the implications of his words?”“No, Alpha," Tanner responded in the link, his back still to the Alpha and his son in the physical realm, as he bowed to them in their mind space.“Keep it that way,” Tobias droned.“Yes, Alpha,” the Head of the runners replied respectfully.Tanner knew exactly what Tobias meant.The Head of the runners resumed his swift exit from the Alpha’s throne room before his Alpha said or did anything more.There was more than one reason his men dreaded their Alpha.He had creative ways of making anyone regret their mistakes, and sometimes, he didn’t even need a reason

One of many in the warrior camps who had looked up to and admired – and maybe even more – Dax, long before Dax or Corien became ranked leaders of Lightmoon pack, Jackson had proved his fearlessness and resourcefulness more than once.The traits Dax appreciated in anyone he entrusted with anything.Dax stared up at his man now. Knowing that he was being heavy-handed.His mind flashed to his former Alpha, the one he and Corien had called father, and he let his Gamma down – gently.He squeezed Jackson’s shoulder in silent apology, glancing away from him.“Alpha,” Jackson whispered, placing a hand on Dax’s.Dax’s eyes snapped to the Gamma with grey, soulful eyes.“If Reyland can –”“No,” Dax stated flatly, turning away from eyes that made his mind waver.This was part of the reason Dax had made Jackson his Gamma.He was not as fierce as Broc
