Semua Bab Betrayed Luna To Alpha Queen: Bab 101 - Bab 110

Dante's fist slammed into the nearest tree. The bark cracked under the impact. Blood dripped from his knuckles, but he didn't seem to notice."Where is she?" he roared at Nikolai. "Tell me where they took her!"Nikolai stayed on his knees in the dirt. His green eyes were empty. Lost."I don't know," he whispered."You don't know?" Dante's voice cracked with rage. "You were right there! You fucking watched them take her!"Lucian stood with his arms crossed. His silver eyes were ice cold as he stared down at Nikolai. "Explain. Now.""It was Elise," Nikolai said quietly. "Zephyr stepped closer. His pale eyes narrowed. "The woman with Kieran? how do you even know her?"Nikolai just stared at him lost. He looked like a broken man."She was there with Kieran. They had bond chains. Laura tried to fight, but she seemed weak for some reason. And I couldn't..." His voice broke. "I couldn't move.""You couldn't move?" Dante's voice was deadly quiet now. "The woman we all love was being chained

Ten years ago...Three months. That's how long Nikolai had been in Elizabeth's territory. Three months of pretending to court her while really gathering information for his employers.The Shadowfang Mercenaries had been hired to find weaknesses in Alpha Thornfield's defenses. Trade route information. Guard rotations. Anything that could be used against him.Nikolai was supposed to seduce the Alpha's daughter and get her to reveal secrets. Easy money.Except it hadn't been easy at all.Elizabeth was nothing like he'd expected. She was smart. Brave. She saw through people's lies except somehow not his.And she loved him. Really loved him. Not his charm or his looks or what he could give her.Just him."I've never felt like this before," she whispered one night as they lay together under the stars. "Like I could tell you anything. Like you see all of me and still want to stay."Nikolai's heart clenched. Because he did see all of her. Every beautiful, trusting, innocent piece.And he was

The shadows in Zephyr's eyes slowly faded. Like smoke clearing after a fire.He blinked. Once. Twice. Then looked around the camp with slight confusion on his face."What happened?" he asked quietly, massaging his forehead."You zoned out," Lucian said. Relief clear in his voice. "Are you okay?"Zephyr nodded slowly. But his hands still shook."I could feel her," he whispered. "Laura. She's so lonely."Dante stepped forward. "Where? Can you track her based on that?""I...I." Zephyr's voice cracked. "I'm not sure, it's too faint."Before anyone could respond, Viktor came running toward them. His face was grim."Alphas," he called out. "We have reports.""What kind of reports?" Lucian asked."Shadow wolf attacks. Three villages hit last night."The news hit like a punch to the gut."How bad?" Dante demanded."Bad. Millfield is gone. Everyone dead or missing. Riverside had twenty killed before the survivors ran.""And the third village?""Oakenbrook. They held out longer. But barely."Da

The rogue's claws raked across Dante's ribs. Blood soaked through his shirt.He was losing. Badly.Ten rogues surrounded him and Kera in the forest clearing. They'd been tracking shadow wolves when the rogues found them first.Dante swung his sword but missed. His movements were getting sloppy. Too much rage and not enough focus.A rogue lunged at Kera. She dodged but barely."Dante!" she called out. "We need to run!""No." He blocked another attack. "We fight."But they were outnumbered five to one. And Dante's mind wasn't on the battle. All he could think about was Laura.Was she hurt? Was she scared? Was she even still alive?A rogue's fist connected with his jaw. Stars exploded behind his eyes.Dante stumbled. His knee hit the ground.This was how it would end. Dying in the dirt while Laura needed him.Then the pain hit.It slammed into his chest like a bolt of lightning. Not his pain. Laura's pain.Agony ripped through every nerve in his body. He could feel her terror. Her helple

Lucian pressed his hand against the tent wall. His knees shook. Laura's pain was like fire in his chest. But he couldn't fall. Not now. Not when his warriors were watching. "Sir?" Marcus stepped closer. "You need to rest." "No." Lucian's voice was rough. "Gather everyone. Now." "But you're hurt—" "Do it." Marcus left. His face was worried. Ten minutes later, the entire camp stood in front of Lucian's tent. Warriors from all four packs and more. Their faces were scared and angry. "Listen to me," Lucian said. His voice carried over the crowd. "I know you're afraid. I know some of you want to run." A few warriors looked at the ground. "Laura is gone," he continued. "Our bonds are breaking. But that doesn't mean we give up." "Easy for you to say," someone called out. "You're not the one dying from shadow infection." Lucian's eyes found the speaker. A young warrior from Dante's pack. His arm was wrapped in bandages. Black veins showed under his skin. "You think I'm not dying?"
