Semua Bab THE ALPHA’S SILENT BRIDE: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Chapter 32 LUCIEN’S POV The Elders called. They wanted to have a meeting and I couldn't miss it this time. They made that clear. I sniffed my leather outfit before throwing it on. What could they want? What's so important they couldn't wait? A part of me knew it had to do with Isla but what? I knocked on the doors of the chambers and waited patiently for an invitation. “Come in,” a feminine voice said and I pushed the doors open. The chambers smelled like old wood, herbs and warm honey. My boots clicked against the wooden floor as I approached the crescent table where they were all seated. Their eyes were trained on me and I stared back. All ten of them and only two I could trust, the others I could barely tolerate and one in particular I didn't want anything to do with him. “Good morning,” I muttered as I settled into my designated seat. “It’s a surprise we have your attention today, Lucien,” Mira spoke. Her little eyes squinted from behind those glasses. “Four strategy meeti

Chapter 34 TARLYN'S POVI waited for night. It would keep my secrets and cover my tracks. The clouds drifted lazily across the sky, teasing the moon that lay low and bright. I heard a lone wolf cry from somewhere in the pack. I winced as I cleaned my injuries. That stupid girl. A smile curved my lips. The bodily harm I had experienced was a little price to pay. They had all seen it. A mad Luna. Words have spread across like wildfire but for the fear of Lucien, everyone spoke in hushed tones. I scoffed. They would never expect what's coming for them. I applied powder to my face and showered myself in perfume. I had a visit to make. The pack was alive when I opened my door. The maids chattering and the men in the training grounds. I could not let anyone see me. I pulled my cloak firmly across my face as I hurried out of the palace. The torches in the corridors shone bright and I moved quickly to avoid attention. The air outside was wet and the smell of trampled flowers hung low. I sn

Chapter 36 TARLYN’S POV I lay in bed watching the sunset. It's been three days since my last visit to Blackridge. Three days of intense love making with Kane and it was time to make another visit. I heard Callen’s laughter float to me and I hurried to my window. Lucien was out for business.’ I had a feeling he was pulling a stunt to keep the Elders off his neck. He didn't want them to think he was a weak Alpha tending to that stupid girl. I returned to my bed and fetched the file from my wardrobe. I had not gotten the time to go through it. My fingers shook with anticipation as I opened the file. The word ’Omega’ jumped at me from the old papers. “Omega?” I said with a sneer. The girl was a common Omega. She had always struggled with her wolf. She had been publicly rejected by Kyle and humiliated continuously by the new Luna. I hurriedly flipped to the last page and there was a red question mark. The words missing person at the bottom. It wasn't a closed case so that me

Chapter 38 ISLA'S POV The night was quiet and the wind was loud and violent against the windows. I held the sheets tightly to ground me. To remind me of where I was. I inhaled and exhaled just like Yvonne had thought me to. With time, I would learn to control my mind and the mares would stop. I believed her. Tonight, I could feel that familiar knot in my stomach and I could feel a presence in the room with me. Him. I needed to stay awake. There would be no mares if I stayed awake. I lay looking at the ceilings and counting backwards from a thousand. Suddenly the smell hits me. It smells like the infirmary but not Yvonne's. My hands go limp beside me. I struggle to keep my eyes open but they slowly shut down. I was back at the medical quarters at Blackridge but it wasn't like I remembered it. Things had changed. I seemed to be floating below the ceilings. Suddenly, I heard the windows break and someone crawled in. I edged closer and saw Tarlyn. I moved to stop her but she didn't ac

Chapter 40LUCIEN'S POVHer body shook uncontrollably and her lips moved quickly but her eyes remained closed. I looked at Yvonne who offered a little smile. I could see how tired Yvonne was and I felt like I had placed her on a spot with Isla but she wouldn't accept help. She felt like she could handle everything herself. “It’s normal. She would either wake up or…”“I am the Luna of Blackridge,” Isla suddenly spoke out of her sleep. I froze and looked at Yvonne. She raised a brow. “That has never happened.”“She just spoke, Yvonne,” I stared at Isla. “She just spoke.”“She said she's the Luna of Blackridge,” Yvonne said like I had not heard it. I didn't want to know what she said. I hated that she said that. That he still had such a strong hold on her. She gasped and her eyes shut open. They were red and a pulse throbbed by the side of her head. Her eyes flickered with recognition when they looked at me and I was grateful. She was panting like she had just run a race and despite t
