Semua Bab Breeder or Mate: The Crimson Threshold: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Grandparents? Really? Erico, in all the years we've been together, you have never once mentioned grandparents! Not a single word," I countered with skepticism, my arms still defiantly crossed over my chest. The accusation hung heavily in the air between us."And for them to suddenly die and leave you two hundred thousand dollars? That's quite the convenient, strange story."His explanation felt flimsy, too neat, designed to deflect, to dismiss my very real fears about the rogues and the mysterious pot. My wolf, Era, moved restlessly within me, sensing the deception, a low growl rumbling in the back of my mind. She wasn’t buying his story either.He finally looked at me, his gaze earnest, even pleading, attempting to bridge the growing chasm of doubt. His hand reached out, gently closing over my fisted ones."I know it sounds strange, Zela. Believe me, it is. I wanted to tell you before, but it was complicated. They lived very private lives, far away, and we weren't close. I only fou

The sweet, refreshing aroma of my favorite herbal tea wafted gently through the room, rousing me from sleep and drawing me back to consciousness.Slowly, I opened my eyes, blinking against the morning light that filtered through the window, painting soft stripes across the bed.Beside the bed, Erico sat with a steaming cup in his hands. His broad smile, filled with warmth and genuine delight, lit up his face as he gazed at me. His eyes shimmered with affection, crinkling slightly at the corners as he watched me stir, a tenderness that instantly softened my morning haze."Sleepyhead," he teased softly. "You slept through the entire day. Here, this will do you good."He extended the cup toward me, the steam curling into the air between us, carrying the comforting scent. "You must have been utterly exhausted. You went to bed so early, I was starting to think you'd turned into a hibernating bear."I chuckled weakly, the sound still heavy with sleep."If I have, it's your fault for spoilin

In Eclipse Moon, the predawn quiet of Alpha Gene’s office was abruptly splintered.Head Warrior Cleo, stormed through the doorway, his face grim, a crumpled note clutched in his fist. It was still early morning, but Alpha Gene was already buried in his pack duties, seeking solace in the ceaseless demands of leadership.Since his daughter had disappeared without a trace, work had become his sole distraction. His mate, Luna Beth, lay on a nearby sofa, a soft cloth draped over her face, the anguish of her missing daughter settled like a crushing weight upon her heart.“Alpha, another note has been placed at the gates!” Cleo announced tight with urgency. “There’s now a demand for one hundred thousand dollars. It states that Zela is expecting and warns us not to take any action that could endanger her life or that of the unborn pup.”Both the Alpha and his mate shot upright at the warrior’s words, their bodies rigid with shock and dread. Alpha Gene snatched the note from Cleo’s hand, his e

In the Royal Palace, Crown Prince Raul stood by the grand arched window, his gaze fixed in the distant, his eyes narrowed into thin, weary slits.The fierce emotions raging within him, despair, frustration, and a gnawing emptiness, he had managed to keep firmly in check for now, but he knew not for how long. His Lycan wolf, Slade, was at the brink of madness, especially in the quiet evenings, when he would howl, a mournful lament for his missing mate. To Slade, Zela’s initial rejection had been a mere sting compared to this agonizing uncertainty: was she dead or alive? The silence from her absence was a gaping wound.“How much longer must we wait for our mates?”Ivor, murmured from beside him. His own despair was equally evident. Lilias had also vanished without a trace since the day they left in the helicopter. He was absolutely certain his mate had gone after Zela. Zela! Ivor refused to believe she was dead. Raul’s story, the horrific tale of seeing her body burn beside Alpha Nervi

The Crown Prince and his Secretary now turned their full attention to Alpha Zenic, who stood there alone before them. Now that Alpha Jack was busy with his newly discovered mate, Zenic would have to do the initial, difficult discussions with Raul himself."Alpha, your daughter is also among the she-wolves abducted by Jermain," Raul began, his tone serious, cutting straight to the heart of the matter. "I do wonder, however, how that could have happened. An Alpha female is not easily overpowered, and Jermain's henchmen were, as far as we know, merely ordinary warriors. I hope you've considered that thoroughly.""You are absolutely right, Your Highness," Zenic affirmed, his posture stiff. "My team and I have investigated this small detail thoroughly. All other abducted she-wolves are of mid-rank, daughters of warriors, healers, and teachers. Andrea is the only top-ranking among them, which highly perplexes me. Woodcrest and Silver Bow have no established conflicts, although we don't have
