Semua Bab Alpha's Regret After I Mated to His Brother: Bab 271 - Bab 280

**(God's POV)**Pack reporters swarmed the gathering entrance. Camera flashes lit up the hunting den like silver lightning."There's Veronica Hayes!" a journalist shouted.Veronica walked through the crowd with her head high. Whispers followed her, but she didn't care."Miss Hayes, what brings you here tonight?" A reporter thrust his device at her face."What are you doing here, Veronica?" Madeline Bell's voice cut through the noise. She pushed through the crowd, face twisted with anger."Are you moon-touched? This isn't for territory-less omegas."Veronica's eyes glittered dangerously. "Do you think you're the only one who represents the Hayes pack's dignity?"The reporters pressed closer, smelling drama."You have no right," Madeline snarled. "Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of."Veronica reached into her hunting pouch. "I have something the pack will find interesting."She pulled out a recording device. "A conversation between Madeline Bell and the Wolf Bloodline

**(Lucian's POV)**The territory alert chimed at dawn, jolting me from peaceful sleep beside Elara. Her soft breathing remained steady as I carefully untangled myself from our shared sleeping furs.I kissed her forehead gently. "Sleep, little doe. I'll handle this."The persistent chiming continued as I padded to the front entrance. Who dared disturb us at this ungodly hour?I opened the door to chaos. Dozens of service wolves flooded my living area, carrying massive bouquets of moonflowers, forest lilies, and exotic blooms I couldn't even name."Delivery for Miss Elara Rivers!" the lead wolf announced cheerfully.My dominant aura flared involuntarily. "Who ordered this?""Anonymous sender, sir. Premium hunting lodge arrangement."Elara appeared behind me, rubbing sleep from her eyes. Her expression transformed to wonder as she saw the floral invasion."Lucian, did you do this?" she breathed, moving toward a particularly stunning arrangement of silver moonflowers."No," I sai

**(Elara's POV)**Madam Evergreen's fury radiated like silver fire as she stepped protectively in front of me. Her elegant composure had transformed into something fierce and maternal that made my heart flutter with unexpected warmth."How dare you?" she snarled at Seraphina Thorne, her voice cutting through the gathering's shocked silence. "You unpresentable mistress, what gives you the right to act so imperiously within this pack hierarchy?"Seraphina's face went white as moonlight. "I beg your pardon—""You heard me correctly," Madam Evergreen continued, her dominant aura flaring impressively. "A she-wolf who clawed her way into the Thorne Pack through questionable means has no business insulting her betters."Madeline Bell quickly stepped forward, clearly sensing the dangerous shift in pack dynamics. "Madam Evergreen, perhaps we should remember that Alpha Evergreen has invested significantly in our territory project with Damon."The subtle reminder of financial leverage force

**(Cassandra's POV)**My pack communication device rang sharply, cutting through the tense atmosphere at the Thorne Pack territory. The caller ID showed the Pack Healer's Ward."Miss Thorne?" The voice was crisp and professional. "Your father has been admitted with severe silver poisoning. His condition is unstable, and we may need to perform a moonlight heart ritual."My paws trembled as I gripped the device. "How severe is it?""Critical but not immediately life-threatening. However, family presence is recommended."I ended the call and immediately contacted Lucian. His voice was cold when he answered."Cassandra.""Brother, Father is in the Pack Healer's Ward," I said quickly. "Severe silver poisoning. They might need to do a moonlight heart ritual."Silence stretched between us before Lucian responded with characteristic indifference."It's not life-threatening. You and Damon should handle it.""But Lucian—""I wasn't raised by Victor," he cut me off. "He made his choice

**(Marcus's POV)**I turned to face Cassandra Thorne, her cruel words cutting through me like silver."You're right," I snarled. "This is our retribution. That's why I met your wolf - this is my punishment!"I walked away, leaving her standing there. She was my retribution, and I was hers.**(Cassandra's POV)**I watched Marcus disappear into darkness. When had I fallen in love with him?The memory hit me hard. Before Lucian's mother died, Victor ignored me and Damon completely. We lived in a rented den with Seraphina in low-status territory.The first time I entered Thorne Pack territory, everyone mocked me. They called me a mistress's pup. I ran to the moonberry bushes and cried.Marcus found me there. He gave me a box of moonberries without saying much. I was instantly attracted to his natural nobility and kindness.I treasured those moonberries for weeks. They represented the first kindness anyone showed me.Later I learned the truth - those moonberries were meant for Ela
