Semua Bab Alpha’s Regret After His Abandoned Luna Left: Bab 81 - Bab 90

(Third person's POV)Three days had passed since Ivy Lawrence's sudden death, yet questions remained. The ceremonial Silver Moon funeral rites were performed in the Northern Territory, the traditional flames purifying her body for the journey to the eternal hunting grounds.Her remains were then transported back to Blackwood territory for burial in the sacred pack grounds.A tense gathering formed near the freshly turned earth of Ivy's grave. The Lawrence family stood rigid with grief, their ceremonial black robes stark against the autumn foliage. Across from them, the Thornwood family maintained a dignified distance.Victoria Lawrence's face contorted with barely contained rage as she locked eyes with Aurora."You!" she spat, stepping forward. "You visited her days before she died. What did you say to her?"Beta Lawrence placed a restraining hand on his mate's arm, but she shook him off."My daughter was fine until you came!" Victoria's voice cracked with anguish. "You drove he

I raised my chin as I approached Alexander Blackwood. The moonlight cast sharp shadows across his face, highlighting the tension in his jaw. Caleb Silvercreek trailed slightly behind me, his presence unexpectedly reassuring."Alexander," I addressed him coolly, "Thank you for sending Caleb to my healing sanctuary. He's been quite helpful."Alexander's eyebrows shot up in surprise. He clearly hadn't expected gratitude."You're welcome," he replied, regaining his composure quickly. "I'm glad you find him useful. I can send more pack members to assist you if needed."There was something strange about his behavior—too accommodating, too careful. My wolf Zoe stirred suspiciously within me."That won't be necessary," I replied.Caleb stepped forward, his tall frame casting a long shadow. "Your ceremonial vehicle is ready, Alpha Healer," he announced loudly, opening the door to my white transport vehicle with silver embellishments.Alexander's amber eyes flashed at the title. "Alpha He

(Alexander's POV)I stood at the doorway of the pack's healing den, one foot already out the door. Aurora was all I could think about - I needed to find her, to explain. But the soft, mournful whimper behind me stopped me cold."Please don't go," Lily whispered, her voice breaking.I turned reluctantly. Lily's fragile form looked impossibly small against the white healing sheets. Her blue eyes, so like Ivy's, were filled with tears."You have no idea what it's like there," she continued. "In the Northern Territory healing den. Day after day, nothing but white walls and the sound of wild birds flying to the moonstone lake."Her words pierced something inside me. A responsibility. A guilt I couldn't shake."I counted the days between your visits," she said, her fingers clutching the edge of the blanket. "Even when you were distracted with pack business, just having you there made everything bearable."I remained silent, torn between duty and desire. My wolf Alex paced restlessly w

The tension in the Blackwood ancestral den was suffocating. I stood frozen, watching my mother transform from the elegant, composed she-wolf everyone knew into a fierce protector of her bloodline."If anything happens to my daughter," Mother continued, her voice vibrating with power, "no wolf in this territory will be spared."The room fell into shocked silence. Richard Blackwood and his mate sat rigid in their ceremonial chairs, clearly unprepared for this display from the usually diplomatic Elara Thornwood.Mother wasn't finished. She turned her burning gaze directly to Alexander, who had risen from his seat, his amber eyes wide with surprise."And you," she said, her voice cold as winter frost, "if you cannot let go of Lily Lawrence completely, then you will leave my daughter alone. No more games. No more manipulation."Alexander's jaw tightened. "Elara, this isn't—""Isn't what?" Mother cut him off. "Isn't you trying to claim my daughter while keeping another she-wolf as your

(Alexander's POV)The urgent howl of my communication device jolted me awake at five in the morning. I fumbled in the darkness, eyes still heavy with sleep."Alpha Blackwood," the pack healer's voice was tense. "It's Lily Lawrence. Her condition has worsened significantly. You need to return to Blackwood territory immediately."My wolf Alex stirred anxiously within me. "I'll be there within the hour."I dressed quickly, my mind already calculating the fastest route back. This was the third emergency with Lily this moon cycle.The pack's healing den was chaos when I arrived. Healers rushed around Lily's frail form, their expressions grim. Her skin had taken on a silvery pallor – a dangerous sign of advanced silver poisoning."What happened?" I demanded."Her body is rejecting the treatment," the head healer explained. "Without a compatible donor soon..."The implication hung heavy in the air. We all knew who the compatible donor was. Aurora.For two hours, I watched the healers
