Semua Bab Betrayed By My Ex, Claimed By His Father: Bab 91 - Bab 100

CHAPTER 91 BLINDING LIGHT! I woke to the sound of murmuring voices. The bag was gone. My wrists were raw but unbound. I sat in what looked like a stone bunker—dimly lit, the air cool and damp. Julian was beside me, sitting against the wall, a shallow cut on his cheek and blood on his collar. But his eyes found mine the second I stirred, and his shoulders relaxed. “You good?” he asked quietly. “Define ‘good’, ” I croaked. Before he could answer, the door creaked open. A woman entered first—tall, silver hair pulled into a braid down her back. Her eyes were sharp, but not cruel. Behind her came a large male, broad-shouldered, with an aura that screamed alpha even though he wore no mark. Neither of them looked like rogues. They looked like soldiers. &ldq

CHAPTER 94 RAVEN'S POV  NO! NOT YOU TOO! I crossed the distance between us in a flicker of an eye. “Julian! JULIAN!” Tears streamed down my cheeks, my hands pressing down on his wound, trembling. “No, no, stay with me…” I sobbed. “You saved me. Don’t you dare die on me now. You can't leave me too. Please, Julian. No!” He touched my face. “I… told you I would.” “Why didn’t you let me fight him alone?” I cried. “Because…” He coughed blood. “Because I’d rather die than lose you.” My hands cupped his cheeks, my breath ragged. “I should’ve let you mark me,” I whispered. “I should’ve never doubted. I shouldn't have waited this

CHAPTER 96 THERE WAS UNFINISHED BUSINESS. The sky was gray, the clouds thick and unmoving. It felt like even the heavens were mourning. The field behind the ruined Hall had been turned into a resting ground. Warriors moved in solemn silence, carrying the bodies of the fallen, wrapped in the red and silver colors of our pack. The scent of blood had been replaced with smoke, sage, and lavender oil, lit in bowls at every corner to guide their spirits back to the Moon. I stood at the edge of it all, arms stiff at my sides, heart bleeding inside my chest. Julian’s hand was in mine—warm, and steady, but I barely felt it. One by one, the bodies were carried out. Some I knew—a boy I used to train with, a healer who once treated my bruised knee, a scout who used to sneak honeybread into my pockets. Their faces were peaceful now. Too peaceful.

CHAPTER 98 RAVEN'S POV  THE WOODS HAD NEVER FELT SO STILL. The scent of ash was fading, replaced by damp moss, pine, and the distant hush of night animals returning to their routines. I walked beside Julian in silence, boots brushing leaves, arms close enough to touch but not quite. After my emotions let loose earlier today at the field, he hadn't left my side. The pack had retired for the night, it was just us. The moonlight filtered through the tall trees, casting silver lines on the earth. I tilted my head up and whispered, more to myself, “She’s watching us.” Julian glanced over. “The Moon Goddess?” I nodded. He gave a half-smile. “Then she picked a good night for it.” We kept walking, and after a while, his voice broke the hush again.&nbs

CHAPTER 100 HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS! The night wore on after our beautiful moment. I sat on the edge of the bed, still in the delicate silk slip from the ceremony. My hands were clasped in my lap, thumbs nervously rubbing over each other, over and over again. Julian moved behind me. He was giving me space.m, but I knew he felt it—the silence that suddenly pressed down like stone. Even after that very perfect moment! “Are you okay?" He finally asked. I swallowed, my throat turning dry. “I just…” I finally whispered, voice catching in my throat. “I kept looking for him.” Julian knelt beside me. His hand found mine, steady and warm. I couldn’t look at him yet. “I stood there as they chanted my name. As the council placed that sash across my shoulders. And I kept thinkin
