Semua Bab He Banished Me to the Rogue: Bab 11 - Bab 20

So this was how they saw me—not just a slave, but a thief. A shameless, undeserving parasite.The weight of their accusations pressed down on me, squeezing until breathing became a luxury.Disappointment didn’t cut as sharply as I thought it would. Instead, it dulled into a bitter habitual ache, spreading through my bones like wolfsbane."So that’s what you think of me?" "Because I was a slave, I don’t deserve to have anything good? Anything that doesn’t match my status must have been stolen?" "Alpha Joe, I may not be Midnight Ridge Pack’s true princess, but I was your sister for more than ten years. In your eyes, am I really that despicable? That worthless?" His face paled, the confident mask of the Alpha slipping . His fists clenched at his sides, so tight his knuckles went white."I... that’s not what I meant..." His voice cracked, hoarse and unsteady. He couldn’t even look at me."It’s just a bottle of medicine, Julia!" Beta Steve finally sighed, his tone low and measured, t

The night was deep. Rather inconveniently, as soon as my last life-saving medicine was gone, my illness struck again. I curled up on the wooden bed, the chill seeping through my bones. No matter how many layers of blankets I covered myself with, I couldn’t resist the piercing cold and pain. My body trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat quickly soaking through my inner garments. My teeth chattered loudly, I wanted to summon my wolf, sadly, none seemed to be responding. It remained silent deep within me, enduring the same pain I was.Clutching my shoulder, where the Panthera tigris had bitten me, my mind blurred, and I was dragged back to that snowy night in the rogue den. Crying, I had called out Alpha Joe’s name, Beta Steve’s, my parents'… over and over. But they were far away, in Midnight Ridge Pack. They could never hear me. I had jumped into the freezing lake to escape the Panthera tigris, my hair frozen stiff, my body shaking violently. The icy water had cut into me li

After careful consideration, I decided to use Xavier’s late mother as my leverage. The rogue den had taught me one thing: survival wasn’t about brute strength. It was about playing the long game. And today, I was going all in.On the anniversary of her death, I donned the very gown she had worn when she first met the old Rogue King. A sheer veil concealed my face. When Xavier saw me, his eyes darkened, swirling with emotion, unable to look away. Half the battle was already won. But captivating him wasn’t enough. I steadied myself, adjusting my posture, stepping past him into the shadowed hall.The air inside was heavy, carrying the scent of dust, decay, and faint traces of wolf musk .The moment the old Rogue King stepped into the long-abandoned palace to mourn the woman he had once loved to the extreme—and hated just as deeply—I pressed down on the first piano key. A forbidden sound filled the air. It was the same melody the late Rogue Queen had once played—Mariage d’Amo

I didn’t learn that Penny and Xavier had crossed paths until the next day, when I went to the ranch to tend to the sheep. Thanks to my medicine, Penny had recovered quickly. She was now able to wrap herself in thick coats and wander around Rogue Den, her delicate little face peeking out from beneath the fur-lined hood. Meanwhile, Xavier had taken down an eagle mid-flight with a single arrow, claiming it as his prey. That was when Penny appeared. With wide, misty eyes, she stood before Xavier, indignant. "Eagles are meant to soar freely in the sky. Why did you have to shoot it down?" There weren’t many onlookers. But that didn’t stop Penny’s eyes from welling up with unshed tears, her shimmering gaze locked onto Xavier’s silver-masked face. Only his cold amber eyes were visible, distant and untouchable. A faint blush crept up her cheeks. Her voice quivered, soft and delicate. "Xavier Highness… If you refuse to let it go, I’d like to buy it from you." "My brother has

Alpha Joe’s hand never landed on me.Xavier, clad in traditional groom’s attire, tall and imposing, strode over with his guards in tow."My woman—do you think you have the right to discipline her?"Alpha Joe and Beta Steve released me simultaneously.Beta Steve’s face was beyond pale, his eyes locked onto Xavier’s attire.His voice rasped out, hoarse and disbelieving:“Julia, the man you’re marrying… is him?”The rogue king of Rogue Den was leagues above a mere Beta of Midnight Ridge Pack in status. He had believed himself my best choice.How laughable. He was never even close.I didn’t need anyone’s pity.“Julia, why didn’t you tell us you were marrying the rogue king?” Alpha Joe’s tone softened, his earlier anger replaced with reproach.“So we could have sent a proper gift.”Compared to the entire Rogue Den, the Midnight Ridge Pack is utterly insignificant. Although Rogue Den is located in a remote area with an unfavorable climate, it boasts the largest territory. The harsh weather a
