Semua Bab The Awaited Lycan Queen : Bab 11 - Bab 20

The purpose of Leo’s visit to the Moon Crest Pack had long been fulfilled. Several council meetings had been held, and countless private discussions with Alpha Dominic had taken place. Now, the time had come for Leo to return home. But a quiet unease lingered in him. Since Dominic’s return, the atmosphere in the pack had shifted—tighter, more watchful. No one moved without purpose, and Leo hadn’t found a moment alone with Aliyah. He paced the room, agitation etched into every step. “Just two days left before I leave this place,” he muttered. He stopped, fists clenched. “I hope Dara will return with me. I’m not ready to leave her again.” Suddenly, an idea sparked in Leo’s mind. After a moment of deliberation, Leo pulled out a piece of parchment and began to write. His message was brief, each word carefully chosen, weighty with intent. When he finished writing, Leo folded the note carefully and gave a quiet command. “Bring Rylan,” he said to one of the guards. Moments later, Ry

Aliyah was all set to leave. Her bags were packed, her heart pounding. Leo stood tall beside her, his werewolf pack ready to move. The Council had assembled to witness their departure. Alpha Dominic stood at the front, flanked by Beta Garrick.Dominic stepped forward and extended his hand. Leo took it, their grips firm a silent exchange of strength and status. A smirk tugged at Dominic’s lips as he said, “I hope you return safe… and alive.”The words landed heavily, sharp beneath the pretense of goodwill.Leo offered a polite smile. “Thank you for the hospitality. I’ll be sure to return the favor if you ever visit my pack.”Garrick approached Leo, his expression unreadable. “So, you’re finally leaving,” he said, a smirk ghosting across his face. “Nice of you. Though… you’re leaving with something of mine. I hope it’s worth it.”There was something in his eyes unspoken, heavy. And just behind Leo, Bayle stood still, his gaze briefly locking with Garrick’s. Whatever passed between them,

After the long journey, they finally arrived at their pack, the Blood Crescent Pack. Aliyah, away for several years after Luna Rosetta had ousted her, now stood beside Leo at the pack’s entrance.The pack erupted in joy as word of Alpha Leo’s return spread through the territory. Luna Rosetta oversaw every detail of her son’s return with poised anticipation, welcoming him warmly after his long absence. As Leo and Aliyah entered, the pack greeted them with happy growls and playful jumps. But curiosity soon stirred when they noticed the blood soaking their clothes and the wagon trailing behind them, burdened with the bodies of fallen wolves.Rosetta’s expression darkened with worry. When her eyes fell on the unfamiliar woman walking beside Leo, a deeper concern flickered beneath her regal composure.“My son,” she greeted, wrapping him in a dignified embrace. “Why do you return bathed in blood? Was there an attack? Has the Moon Crest Pack moved against us?”Leo sighed, the weight of recen

Bayle was finally dragged before everyone. The entire Werewolf Council stood assembled in formal robes, their faces carved in stone. At the head of the chamber sat Alpha Leo, his eyes storm-dark as he watched the traitor being brought in.Bayle stood in chains, blood crusted at the corner of his mouth, yet defiance still flickered in his eyes.“Bring the prisoner forward,” Leo commanded, his voice as sharp as steel drawn in silence.Bayle was shoved to the center of the chamber, where the ancient seal of judgment burned faintly beneath his feet, etched into the stone floor, pulsing with old magic.Leo's gaze swept over the council. “He betrayed his kind,” he said. “Now speak what punishment befits such a crime?”An elder moved to the forefront and declared, “Use the ancient runes to bind him. Cut his connection to the moon and make him bear the burden of his betrayal.”One of the council members then suggested, “Or we could banish him. Drive him away from our territory and let him roa

The contest, set to begin in a few days, had stirred excitement throughout the pack. All interested female werewolves were instructed to submit their names to Luna Rosetta, who was tasked with overseeing the process. Aliyah feared her name might be left out, but Alpha Leo personally ensured otherwise. He gave Rosetta Aliyah’s name himself and warned her sternly: Aliyah must be allowed to compete fairly. She dared not defy him.The final list held twenty names. Twenty strong, determined women. It would be a fierce competition but Luna Rosetta already had a favorite in mind, a contender she was certain would become Leo’s mate.As the day drew closer, the contestants threw themselves into preparations. And this time, Leo was at Aliyah’s side,training her, guiding her. He believed in her completely.He was certain: she would win.---Alpha Leo, Luna Rosetta, Beta Rylan, and all the elders of the werewolf council sat in their designated places, the grand arena prepared for the long-awaited
