Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mated To The Scarred Alpha: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

LUCIANThe sun spills gold over Thornveil as our carriage rolls out of the palace gates. The fae have refused to let human inventions into their world, so they don’t use cars. Several guards line the road, their silver armor shining in the light. It feels weird leaving after everything that happened, but I’m also relieved.Leah sits close beside me, her hand warm in mine. The second our fingers touch, that familiar spark runs through me, grounding me like always.“You okay?” she asks quietly, watching my face.“Yeah,” I lie halfway. “Just tired.”My body still hasn’t felt right, something is off. I can’t hear Fenrir’s growl or feel him moving inside me. It’s like he’s gone quiet, buried deep where I can’t reach him.Outside, the fae lights float in the air, guiding us through the forest. The view is beautiful, but I can’t relax. Leah leans her head on my shoulder and sighs. “I’m going to miss this place. It’s peaceful.”“Too peaceful,” I mutter.She laughs, her fingers brushing my arm

LEAHThe sun is barely up when we reach Bloodmoon territory. The smell hits first, burnt wood, iron, and blood. The fae convoy slows down as the first ruined houses come into view. Roofs are caved in, walls clawed apart, the ground scorched black in patches. My chest tightens, this isn’t the home we left.Lucian doesn’t say a word. His jaw is locked, eyes straight ahead, fists clenched on his knees. When we stop, the fae captain steps forward, his face grim. “This is where we leave you, Alpha,” he says. “We’ll return to the fae lands and report to King Caelum. May your pack heal fast.”Lucian nods stiffly, shaking the man’s hand. “Thank you. Tell Caelum I owe him one.”The fae bow slightly, then turn back. Their carriages vanish down the forest path until only silence remains.Lucian finally steps forward, and I follow him. The pack grounds are quiet except for the sound of crackling fire and distant voices. Warriors move around carrying the wounded, others repairing walls. Everyone s

LEAH“Lucian!” I scream, my voice tearing through the room.His body is heavy in my arms, his head limp against my shoulder. For a second, I freeze, then panic slams into me like lightning. I shake him hard. “Lucian, wake up! Please… wake up!”Nothing.His skin feels too cold, his breathing shallow. My heart is pounding so loud I can barely hear my own voice when I yell toward the door, “Somebody help me! Now!”Two guards burst into the room within seconds. Their eyes widen at the sight of their Alpha motionless in my arms.“Get the healers! Now!” I shout, tears already blurring my vision.One of them runs off, while the other helps me lift Lucian. We don’t wait for a stretcher. I cling to him as we rush through the halls, my heartbeat racing with every step. He looks so pale and still, like the world itself has stopped breathing.When we reach the infirmary, a few healers rush to meet us, pulling open the curtains and clearing a table. They help me lower him onto the bed.“Alpha Luci

LUCIANThe next morning, Bloodmoon feels alive again, louder, busier, hungrier for action. The air is filled with smells of training dust and rain-soaked earth. Pack warriors move across the field, their shouts echoing through the courtyard. After everything that happened, it finally feels like momentum.Leah’s out in the open yard, practicing her elemental control with the fae instructors Caelum sent to guide her. From where I stand on the balcony, I can see her lift her hands, eyes focused. The air stirs, a ripple of energy circles her. A burst of wind follows, spinning the practice dummies off balance. The fae watching her exchange looks that say she’s getting stronger.I should be surprised, but I’m not. I’ve seen her grow every single day, more confident, more sure of what she can do. And every time I watch her, it reminds me why I’ll burn the world before I let anyone touch her again.I take a breath and turn back to my desk, covered in maps and sealed letters. My hand still ach

LEAHThe world explodes into chaos.The first line of the black-eyed wolves slams into the allied front, and the sound that follows is nothing but growls, and screams. Arrows whistle past, spells burst like fireworks, and the ground shakes under the trolls’ heavy steps. The fog makes everything worse, enemies just appear from nowhere.Lucian’s at the rear, barking orders, cutting down everything that comes near. “Hold formation! Watch the cliffs!” He orders through the mindlink to all wolf warriors.I’m right in the middle of the chaos, throwing fire and air and earth together just to keep our front from breaking. Every time I take one down, two more replace it.A troll swings its massive club at a group of elves to my left and I dash forward, catching its arm in a swirl of wind before shoving it back with a wall. The blow knocks it off its feet, and the elves shoot their arrows straight into its chest.I don’t even have time to breathe before the next wave hits.“Leah!” Lucian’s voic
