Semua Bab Alpha's Heat His To Ruin Hers To Heal: Bab 31 - Bab 40

My hands were still shaking with rage.Michael's words kept playing in my head. The way he looked at Calla. The way the whole pack turned on her like wolves on wounded prey.She's a fucking liability.I wanted have a go at him right there in front of everyone. Show them what happened when someone disrespected me.My wolf was still pacing under my skin, demanding blood."Axel." Jace grabbed my arm. "We need to talk. Now."I looked back at Calla. She stood frozen by her table, those strange gold eyes still blazing. Even from across the room, I could smell her fear.And something else. Something that made my cock twitch despite everything.That scent she got when she was aroused. When she needed me.Fuck. Not now."Everyone Out!" I ordered everyone and watched as they all filed out before turning to Jace."What's so important it couldn't wait?" I snapped.Jace pulled out his phone and showed me a message. "We intercepted this twenty minutes ago. Crimson Order communications."I read it q

The scroll room was dark when I slipped inside. Everyone was asleep. Finally, I could search without judging eyes watching my every move. I lit a small candle and started pulling books from the shelves. There had to be something here. Something that could help me understand why I was so broken. "Well, well. Look what we have here." I spun around, heart racing. A woman stood in the doorway. She was around my age, with ink-black hair and the most unusual eyes I'd ever seen. One brown, one gray. But what really caught my attention were the glowing marks on her arms. Like tattoos, but they seem to pulse with soft light. "Sorry," I whispered. "I didn't know anyone else was—" "Sneaking around in the middle of the night?" She leaned against the doorframe with a smirk. "Yeah, I can see that." Her voice was smooth but had an edge to it. Like silk wrapped around a blade. "I'm just looking for something," I said. "Aren't we all, honey." She pushed off the doorframe. "Word of advice?

The memory hit me in waves as Axel carried me through the forest.His voice cutting through the red haze in my mind. Strong and commanding, but gentle."Look at me."I remembered how his alpha power had washed over me like cool water on burning skin. How it had pulled me back from the edge of madness."You know this voice."I had known it. Even when the beast inside me wanted to tear him apart, some part of me recognized him.My alpha.My mate.The words had broken through the feral rage like nothing else could. They were truth carved into my bones.But now, walking back toward the compound, shame burned in my chest.I had attacked the pack. Drew blood from someone who had never hurt me. Proved that everything Michael said about me was right.I was dangerous. A monster.Axel stopped walking suddenly. We were at the edge of the compound, close enough to see the lights but hidden in the shadows.He was hesitating.I understood why."It's okay," I whispered against his neck. "I understan

The new mirror caught the morning light as I sat on my bed at 5:25 AM. Rika had given me the gown last night after the whole issue with the pack. Said I needed to "see myself clearly" if I wanted to survive here. I wasn't sure what she meant then.Now I did.The woman staring back at me wasn't the polished senator's wife I used to be. My dark hair fell in waves past my shoulders, messy from the little sleep I had. The thin nightgown clung to my curves in a way that would have made Blake furious. Too revealing and very tempting.But here, it just made me feel like myself.My green eyes looked tired. My skin was pale but not fragile anymore. There were small scars on my hands from training. Proof that I was learning to fight.My body had changed too. Stronger and more defined. The soft curves were still there, but now they came with muscle underneath. Power that I was only beginning to understand.I touched my neck where Axel's scent still lingered from when he'd held me.Last night pl

The silence after the battle felt heavier than the fighting.I sat on the cold ground, my whole body shaking. Not from fear but from guilt.Elder Thorne was dead. The man who had been talking to me just minutes before the attack. Who had been trying to help me understand my wolf.Now he was gone. Torn apart by vampires who came here looking for me."This is your fault."Michael's voice cut through the quiet like a blade. Everyone turned to look at him.He stood in the center of the compound, his clothes torn and bloody. His eyes glowed with rage as he stared at me."They came for her," he said louder. "The vampires. They attacked our home because of her."I wanted to say something. To defend myself. But the words wouldn't come.He was right."Look around you," Michael continued. "Look at what she's brought us. Death. Destruction. And for what?"Some of the pack members nodded. Others just stared at the ground."Michael, that's enough," Axel said. His voice was low and dangerous."No,
