Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To The Scarred Alpha: Kabanata 111 - Kabanata 120

LEAHI’m half-asleep when I hear the scrape of the cage door. My body stiffens instantly, every sound in this place usually means more pain. But this sound is different. It’s softer, and a little hesitant.“Leah,” a low voice whispers.I blink, trying to focus. A boy, no, not a boy exactly. He looks young, maybe close to Lucian’s age, with sharp features and dark hair that falls into his eyes. He’s crouched by the bars, his hands moving quick, slipping something small through the gap.It’s food. A hunk of bread, a strip of dried meat.My throat goes tight. “What… what are you doing?” My voice comes out rough, cracked from days of screaming.“Keeping you alive,” he says flatly. His eyes flick around, scanning the hall. “Eat fast. If the guards see…”“Why?” I cut him off, suspicion lacing my words. Nobody here has shown me kindness here.He hesitates, then mutters, “Because you don’t belong here. And because I can’t just keep watching him like this anymore.”I freeze. “Him?”He leans cl

LEAHI’ve lost count of how many days it’s been.“Leah? You still with us?” Karl’s voice comes from the cage next to mine. I manage a weak smile even though he can’t see it through the shadows. “Define ‘with us.’”He lets out a small chuckle. “You’re alive. That’s what matters.”“Barely counts,” Molly mutters from her cage. “But it still counts.”Their voices are the only thing that keeps me sane. Somehow, these two strangers have become my lifeline, reminding me I’m not alone.And that’s why I have to tell them about Kalen’s plan. I wait for the guards’ footsteps to fade before I lean closer to the bars. “Hey, both of you, listen. I need to tell you something.”There’s a shuffle of chains. “What is it?” Karl asks.I lower my voice. “Kalen, he’s been helping me. He’s not like the others. He’s Orion’s son, but he…”“Leah.”The voice slices through the dark like a blade.My stomach drops.Evelyn steps into view, dragging her nails across the metal cage as she walks by. Her red lips curl

LUCIANI’ve been standing in the same spot for almost an hour, staring into the distance like it’s going to give me answers. The air around me feels heavy, like the world’s holding its breath.We’re set up at the edge of the mountain ridge, far enough from Orion’s main compound that we won’t be noticed, but close enough to move fast once Kalen gives the signal. My wolves are spread out through the trees, quiet and alert. No one speaks. The tension is thick enough to choke on.Kalen’s message came two nights ago, slipped into our camp through one of his scouts. A sealed note saying; There will be a sign, be ready.I didn’t know if I could trust it.I mean, how could I? Even though we were friends, he's Orion’s son. The same man who’s been raised by the monster who ruined all our lives. But something in me said to try anyway. Maybe it was desperation. Maybe it was hope. Or maybe it was Leah. She’d always been the one who saw good in people, even when they didn’t deserve it. So I took a

LUCIANMy heart breaks into pieces the moment I see her collapse.Leah’s body hits the ground, silver light fading from her skin, and all I can hear is her uneven heartbeat. The rest of the world turns red. I don’t think, I just move. The black-eyed wolves charge from every direction, and I rip through them with pure rage, my claws slashing and cutting. “Get out of my way!” I roar, my voice echoing through the smoke. The wolves scream and fall, but more keep coming, crawling over the corpses of their own.Theron’s voice cuts through the chaos behind me, yelling orders, trying to keep the warriors in line. I don’t listen. My world has narrowed to one thing, Leah.I reach her finally, dropping to my knees. She’s barely breathing. “Leah.” I say her name like it might pull her back. Her hair is tangled and soaked in blood, her skin ice cold. “No, no, no… come on, baby. Stay with me.”Her eyelids flutter, and for a second, I catch a glimpse of her silver eyes. Weak, but alive.I pull he

LUCIANMy paws hit the forest floor hard as I run through the trees, the cold air slicing past me. Leah’s weight is light on my back, her body limp. The warriors moves around me in formation, breathing hard. We made it out. But I can’t feel any victory. Not when she’s like this.“Alpha, we’re almost at the camp,” one of the warriors mindlinks me. His tone is tired, but hopeful.I grunt in reply, pushing my legs faster. The smell of smoke and blood still clings to my fur. Behind me, Theron runs close, his massive brown wolf form keeping pace. His thoughts brush mine.She’s still not awake?No, I answer. Her pulse is weak. I can’t risk shifting yet.We reach the clearing we set up earlier, a makeshift camp with scattered gear, cars waiting near the edge of the woods. I slow down, lowering Leah gently onto a blanket someone spreads out. The second my paws hit the dirt again, I shift back, covered in blood and exhaustion.“Get the cars ready!” I bark out. “Now!”Theron shifts too, pulling
