Semua Bab Wolfless Hybrid: The Awakened Witch : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Ashton's POV I already knew my father was mind-linking my mother, warning her about what the Council rep was allegedly about to do. If Damien thought I was just going to stand by and let that happen, he was insane.I stepped toward the gate, my voice cutting through the tension as I started shouting orders. I watched as Oliver and Henry leapt effortlessly over the eleven-foot gate like it was nothing. “Tim,” I barked, “call Council Member Sean Paul. Let him know that his assistant is here, inside my pack, trying to carry out the illegal orders of another Alpha. Make it clear, I won’t allow it.” I didn’t pause.“Ask him if the Council has started breaking the very laws they swore to uphold. And tell him this: if he allows this assistant to lay so much as a finger on any of the women I’m protecting, then I’m going to war with Blackwood. I expect him here within the hour to explain himself.” I narrowed my eyes, my voice like steel.“And if she is here to do what I think she is, I want

Lauren's POV Ashton had just left, and I already missed him. I understood why he brought me here. He wanted me to feel more secure by staying with my sisters. Still, a part of me wished I had gone to the gate and told those three assholes exactly what I thought of them now that I was finally safe.It warmed my heart to see how good Maya looked this morning. She actually seemed happy, something I had not seen in her in over five years. Not since she turned eighteen and didn’t phase. She had been so crushed, and Dad had written her off immediately. To him, she wasn’t valuable anymore because she wasn’t a wolf. He cast her aside for not being what he expected, and his rejection shattered her.It hurt both Meliza and me to watch it happen. I love Maya, and I’m truly glad she’s finally had a chance to find love. I couldn’t help but wonder if that handsome vampire had something to do with the smile on her face. From the way he came straight toward her the moment we arrived, I could tell he

Maya's POV I scoffed at her first question. It was obvious Damien had already given her his version of events and for whatever reason, she believed him. I was grateful that Ashton and his family were on our side. I wanted Oliver to come back. I missed him. He made me feel calm and safe, something this woman clearly wasn’t doing.She had just heard Alex tell her that she couldn’t pack us up and ship us back, but she chose to ignore him. I doubted she would be any more willing to hear us out. She looked like the kind of person who had already made up her mind. I couldn’t help but wonder what Damien had done to win her over. Did he pay her off? Offer to sleep with her? Those were his usual tactics.I stepped forward and spoke clearly. “First off, my name is Maya Alvarez. No one in this pack hurt me. I was injured trying to escape the Blackwood Pack. I nearly died from that injury, and I want that formally noted. I will not go back there. And, in case you had not noticed, I’m not even a

Ashton's POV No sooner had I told Gabriel to escort Meliza somewhere quieter than the Council Representative started throwing her weight around. She genuinely believed we were all supposed to fall in line just because of her title. I glanced at Lauren and immediately felt the wave of anger rolling off her. She was furious and it was all because of this woman. A woman who clearly thought her role gave her authority, when in reality, she was little more than a glorified pencil pusher at the Council.I stepped in to block Rachel, giving Gabriel and Meliza the chance to slip out of the room. I’m the Alpha here. She doesn’t have the power to override my authority or my decisions.“This woman insulted both Maya and Lauren and refused to hear a word from either of them,” my mother said sharply. “Lauren told her we were done here until the Council sent actual members, not someone playing at power. Rachel already made up her mind the moment she walked in, insisting the girls be returned to Da

Ashton's POV “Before they get here, does anyone want to step out?” I asked, glancing around the room. It was already cramped, and I didn’t want the children exposed to the argument I knew was coming.“There’s no way I’m leaving Maya alone in here with that woman,” Oliver said firmly.“I’m staying too,” Gabriel added. “I know the laws just as well as you do, and we’re not going to let them bulldoze us. That she-wolf clearly has an agenda. What she pulled earlier was disappointing. And Damien? He’s not even part of our division. His Council is stationed way up north. How he already has her dancing to his tune is beyond me. Something doesn’t add up.”“Yes,” I agreed, my tone grim. “It’s deeply concerning that she would risk her job for someone she barely knows.”“We’ll be staying,” my father, Kelvin, said calmly. “I know how these old foxes operate. I’ve worked with Sean before, and I’ll be here to offer support.”“I’m not going anywhere,” my mother added firmly. “Lauren is my daughter-
