Semua Bab A Contract With An Alpha: Bab 111 - Bab 120

SELENEThe morning sun peeked through the curtains, soft and warm against my skin. For a second, I forgot the mess from last night.Until I stretched out my hand and touched… nothing.No Zarek.No warmth beside me. Just cold sheets and silence.I sat up slowly, letting the blanket fall from my body, and grabbed the silk robe draped at the foot of the bed. As I tied the sash around my waist, I spotted Zarek’s black card on the table near the mirror—exactly where he kept it.I walked over, picked it up, and turned it between my fingers.He said I could use it whenever I needed anything. But today, I wasn’t just “needing” something. I had a reason.I turned as the door opened.Zarek stepped in, towel slung over his shoulder, shirtless and still damp from his shower. His eyes landed on me and the card in my hand.“Planning to rob me?” he asked lightly.“I want to get some baby stuff,” I said, holding up the card. “Maybe a few extra things too.”He grinned and tossed the towel aside. “Take

SELENE“She should have been smarter,” I said quietly, my gaze fixed on the window. “She should have had a better plan when she thought of sleeping with her brother’s friend, who would likely later be his enemy.”Behind me, Nora shifted. The tension between us was no longer about Leila—it was about what came next.“I didn’t just become your bodyguard for nothing, Luna Selene,” she said after a pause, her voice low but charged. “I became your bodyguard because I’ve known you for a long time. You were once Lucien’s mate, and he betrayed you. Chose Mira. And I watched you survive that. Your revenge is mine too.”I turned toward her slowly. Her eyes were fierce, unwavering.“I will help you,” she continued. “With Orion. We both know he’s not that easy.”A smile curved on my lips—tight, sharp, calculated. “Seems we both have the same goal after all.”Leila was in the garden again.Zarek spotted her from the training grounds and made his way over, wiping his hands on a towel slung across hi

The door slammed behind her, hard enough to rattle the lantern on the wall.Mira stood in the center of the room, breathing hard, her eyes bright with fury.Lucien didn’t look up from where he sat at the edge of the bed, boots still muddy, shirt unbuttoned at the collar. He’d just come from a patrol meeting, but the weariness in his face had nothing to do with the border.“You’re avoiding me again,” Mira said, voice low but shaking.Lucien exhaled, slow and deliberate. “Not now, Mira.”“No, exactly now,” she snapped, stepping forward. “You don’t speak to me. You barely look at me. And we haven’t touched each other in weeks. Do you think I don’t notice?”Lucien’s jaw clenched. “It’s not the time for this.”She laughed bitterly. “There’s never a time with you. Never a moment when I feel like your mate instead of a piece of furniture that’s just… here.”“Mira—”“No,” she said, cutting him off. “You don’t get to Mira me into silence. You don’t get to come back from patrols covered in bloo

Mira’s voice cut through the air like a blade.“Take one more step, Lucien, and I swear—I’ll call a meeting. I’ll summon the elders, the council, every damn warrior in this pack. And I’ll tell them everything.”Lucien froze, his back still to her. “Everything?” he echoed coldly.“I’ll tell them you slept with me,” Mira hissed, “while you were still mated to Selene. That you used me like a pawn. That you betrayed the mate bond before it ever shattered.”He turned slowly, gaze ice-cold and void of remorse. “Do it.”Mira blinked.Lucien stepped closer, his voice low and dark. “Call your little meeting. Tell them all. I’m not afraid of the truth anymore. Not theirs. Not yours.”“You think they’ll let you keep your title after that?” Mira snapped. “You think the elders won’t strip you of your command, that your own warriors won’t revolt?”Lucien’s jaw flexed. “Let them try. I built this pack. Brick by brick, blood by blood. And if anyone—anyone—tries to remove me, I won’t hesitate to spill

The garden had emptied.The scent of humiliation still lingered in the air—Lucien’s desperation clinging to the stones like old rot—but Selene was already gone, swallowed by the shadows of her triumph. The moon glared down on the aftermath, silent and cold.Evelyn remained in the alcove, hidden by an arch of stone and ivy, arms folded tightly across her chest as she watched the warriors drag what was left of Lucien away.“Selene managed to get Lucien out of the way,” she murmured under her breath. “Who could be next?”Clara, standing just behind her, glanced around nervously before replying, “I didn’t know she was this strategic.”“She isn’t just strategic,” Vivian added from the other side, arms crossed tightly. “She’s dangerous. Ruthless.”A faint smirk tugged at Evelyn’s lips. “She’s finally becoming the Luna they all feared she would be. Shame it took betrayal to wake her up.”Clara stepped closer, her voice barely a whisper. “Lucien has lost his title. He’ll be banished… or worse
