Semua Bab Alpha’s Deal: Be My Mate: Bab 161 - Bab 170

⸻Chapter 161 He Deserves to Know"(Zarina's POV)The house was quiet. Too quiet.I was by myself in the garden, my fingers touching the white lilies' soft petals Asher had planted with the children the previous week. They had patted the dirt with such joy with their small hands… I smiled remembering, but the smile failed to reach my heart.Because all I could hear was the elders’ voices echoing in my head.She has brought shame."She is not one of us."She needs to be exiled or relieved of her title.Those words hurt more than any wound ever could.I had remained there, amidst them, not crying. Trying to be strong. They interrogated me like a culprit. They were not keen on listening to the truth. They already knew what they wished to believe.And I now had to tell Asher.He needed to know… but my heart just felt so heavy. I was aware he would be angry. Not at me—at them. I also knew he would blame himself. He always did, no matter what happened.I washed my hands and stood. My legs w

Chapter 163 Asher’s POVI got the message just after dawn.The guard at my door didn’t say much—just handed me a scroll sealed with the mark of the elders. My heart dropped as soon as I saw it.They wanted to see me. Urgently.I didn’t need anyone to tell me what it was about.Cara.Zarina.The blood. The lies. The chaos.I had barely closed my eyes the night before. Zarina slept curled in my arms, her back pressed to my chest. She didn’t say much after everything that happened—just buried her face in my shirt and held on tight. I stayed awake, watching her breathe. I kept thinking about how close I came to losing her again.And now this.I left the room quietly, brushing a kiss on her forehead, and told the guards not to disturb her no matter what.When I reached the council hall, the atmosphere was already thick.Six elders sat at the long table, eyes cold, their silence heavy. Not even the birds outside dared to sing.I stood tall, shoulders back, but I could feel it. The judgment.

Chapter 165The Visit to the Seer(Asher's POV)I set out early, hardly light yet. I looked back once—Zarina was asleep, her body wrapped in the thick blanket, her lips slightly open, peaceful. It tempted me to crawl back beside her, peck her on the forehead, and pretend all this nonsense didn't exist.I couldn't, though. Not when someone was manipulative enough to destroy all we had built.Cara.I still couldn't get over how far she would go. Claiming to be pregnant with my child… lying to the elders, gaining their sympathy, and trying to turn the pack against Zarina. That was it. It was time to stop this.I trekked to the edge of the forest, where trees were taller, older… silent. Few wolves came here. That was where she lived—the seer.She was no member of a pack, but a traveler who could see what others could not. I didn't know that she would help us. But I had to try.As I reached her little hut, I stopped for a moment. Smoke was floating out of the chimney. It was the scent of sm

Chapter 167The GlowZarina’s POVThe soft morning light poured through the window, warming the room and kissing my skin. I opened my eyes slowly, taking a deep breath. It smelled like fresh air, sunlight, and home.I turned my head and saw Asher sleeping beside me. His strong chest rose and fell gently with each breath. His dark hair was messy, and his face looked so peaceful and boyish. It made me smile.I reached out and touched his cheek softly.His eyes fluttered open, and when he saw me, he smiled. A real, full smile.“Good morning, my queen,” he whispered.I laughed softly and snuggled closer to him. “Good morning, Alpha.”He kissed the top of my head and wrapped his arms around me. “I wish we could stay like this forever,” he said quietly.“We can try,” I teased.We laid there in silence, just enjoying the feeling of being together. There was no rush. No noise. No fear. Just peace.But peace doesn’t last long when you have three little wolves running around.Tiny knocks came a

⸻Chapter 169 The Gathering of TruthZarina’s POVThe day finally came.The sky was soft with morning light, and the wind danced gently across the packhouse grounds. It felt like something important was about to happen. I stood by the window, holding a cup of warm tea in my hands, staring out at the large clearing where the gathering would happen.This was Asher’s plan, but we both agreed it was time. Time for truth. Time for peace.It wasn’t just about me anymore. It was about our children. About our future. About the pack we were building, the one we wanted to make stronger. And lies had no place in it.“Asher,” I whispered as he stepped into the room, fully dressed in his Alpha robes. “Are you sure?”He came over, placed his hand on my shoulder, and kissed my forehead. “She’s played this game long enough. If she’s lying—then she’ll be exposed in front of everyone.”“And if she somehow escapes it again?”“She won’t.” His voice was firm. “The seer we’re bringing today… she sees what’
