Semua Bab The Lost Beta: Bab 1 - Bab 7

The noises of the chase echoed through the forest. The chilly night atmosphere was stained by the scent of blood, leaves stirred with each careful footfall, and branches snapped beneath heavy boots. With acute instincts and striking golden eyes, Beta Alexander glided like a specter.According to the reports, they had spent hours following a hazardous renegade. A lone wolf was intruding close to Moonshadow's boundaries, moving in and out without being noticed, leaving behind bloody and perplexing trails.But something about this hunt felt... wrong.The scent they were following wasn’t just rogue filth and desperation. It was something else. Something familiar.Alexander’s wolf growled low in his mind, restless, unsettled.Then he heard it. A scream, raw, desperate, filled with terror.Alexander’s heart pounded. Without hesitation, he surged forward, his warriors close behind.What they found made his blood freeze.---Just by a sturdy tree trunk was a girl abruptly cornered, her body s

Like a death sentence, the scout's words lingered in the atmosphere."Tell the girl her father is waiting."Silence fell over the room.Emily's breathing became labored. She wavered a little, fear and bewilderment encircling her like a noose. "My father?" she muttered. “That’s not possible. He’s dead.”Alexander’s jaw clenched. He didn’t trust this. The rogues wouldn’t lie without reason. If they said her father was waiting, then someone out there wanted her to believe it.Damien was watching her too closely. The Alpha had been hiding something and now, the truth was slipping through the cracks.Emily’s hands trembled. She didn’t recall her past life, but deep in her gut, she knew this wasn’t just a threat. It was a warning.And if Lucien was truly alive...Then everything they thought they knew about her past was a lie.---The room was thick with tension as Damien finally spoke. “You’re not leaving.” His voice was cold, final.Emily’s head snapped up. “But if my father…”“If he’s al

Emily stood frozen before the rogue crest, its intricate carvings glowing under the flickering torchlight. The weight of Lucien’s words pressed against her ribs."You were meant to rule."The whispers of the gathered rogues filled the chamber, a mixture of awe and anticipation.She was their heir. Their leader.And yet, a part of her recoiled from the thought.Emily clenched her fists. “Why should I believe you?”Lucien’s smirk was patient, as if he expected her hesitation. “Because the truth has always been inside you.” He gestured to the crest. “Touch it.”A strange compulsion urged her forward. She placed her palm against the cold stone…And the world shattered.---Pain lanced through her skull.Visions flashed before her eyes:—Her father, Lucien, standing tall before a gathering of rogues, his voice echoing through the night. “She will be our salvation.”—A younger version of herself, hiding behind a tree, watching as warriors swore loyalty to her.—Then fire. Blood. Betrayal.E

Under the moon, the river swirled, cold and black. Emily felt the cold water on her face as she looked from Lucien to Alexander. One man looked at her with the rage of a parent who had been betrayed, and the other with the love of a man who would do everything for her."Emily," Alexander shouted over the sound of the rushing river. His voice became weak. "Please, I beg you."She was speechless. Lucien edged closer, his cloak flowing around him and his eyes glittered like fire."You've made your choice," he yelled. "If you cross that water, you are no daughter of mine."Her heart cracked. For so long, she’d yearned for a place she belonged. Now it felt like belonging would cost her everything she loved.Behind Lucien, the rogues shifted restlessly. She could see their unease, the way their loyalty was starting to splinter. If she fled, some would follow, others would turn on her. She would ignite a war no one could control.But when she looked across the river at Alexander, she saw a f
