Semua Bab THE ALPHA’S SILENT BRIDE: Bab 61 - Bab 70

Chapter 61 TARLYN'S POV I turned around for the hundredth time since I laid on my bed. I had not gotten a proper sleep in days and I could not tell when next I would get one. These days, it seemed like my demons had caught up with me and for some reason, they were playing catch in my head. I inhaled and walked to my window. I threw it open and let the wind run through my hair. The pack was pitch dark and quiet. I wondered what Lucien was up to and even Kane. Kane. I scoffed. He would never expect what hit him. The audacity to actually raise his voice and threaten me. I leaned against the window. There was a lazy howl from somewhere in the pack and I heard a lover giggle. I needed to make new connections in the council. I didn't think I could trust Elder Thorne for any much longer. That man moved like a green snake in the grass. Elder Len seemed like a good option but she was very unpredictable. Too unpredictable. I walked to my dresser and pulled out a cigarette. I had not had one

Chapter 63LUCIEN'S POV I swallowed and tried to keep a straight face. Why would the council summon me by these early hours of the morning? Had they found out that I left the pack in Isla? Did Tarlyn know and out me? I curled my fist. If that was the case, I would make sure she never had the mouth to snitch ever again? I cleared my throat. “Did they say why?” The guards shook their head. I inhaled and ran my sweaty palms across my pants. “Tell them I would be with them shortly.”“Yes Alpha,” They said together and walked away. I mindlinked Callen to meet me in twenty minutes. In the meantime, I had to see my daughter. The door to Elara’s room was slightly ajar when I got there. The smell of lavender hit me and I inhaled deeply. I could hear repeating sentences after her tutor. I knocked on the door briefly. She turned around eagerly and her eyes widened. “Daddy,” She jumped down the chair and ran to me. I picked her up and spun her around. “Hey Princess,” I placed my nose in he

Chapter 65 TARLYN'S POV I stood by a window staring down at the courtyard. My palms were cold against my skin and that was one way to tell how anxious I was. It's been a while since Kane was dragged to the council like a criminal and I had tried to eavesdrop but it's either nothing was being discussed or everyone suddenly lost their voice. I had run away when I heard feet approaching the door. I couldn't let Kane see me around. If he had a suspicion that I told on him, that would be all the confirmation he needed. Once the Elders started trooping out, I hurried back and waited for Elder Thorne. He was usually the last. “Goodday Elder,” I greeted as I hurried to his side. “Tarlyn,” He looked around quickly and pulled me back into the council room. “What is wrong with you?” His hand was still tightened fast around my arms. I pulled it back. “Don’t hold on to me like some criminal, Thorne,” I adjusted my dress even though I didn't need to. “What have you done, child?”“I am no chi

Chapter 67ISLA’S POV I held onto my cheeks and chuckled dryly. My eyes stung with tears and I closed them briefly. She would not see my cry. “You’re just like everyone else. Is it hard to admit? You are scared.”“You were eavesdropping on my conversation.”“Yes,” I got on my feet. “I’m just a pawn in your game. In a game where you're trying to prove yourself.”“That’s not…” Her lips quivered. “Who?” I bit my lower lips. “Who are you trying to prove yourself to? To yourself? The Divine?”“I don't have to prove myself to the divine. She sees everything.”“Is it the council of elders?” She looked down at her feet. I felt heat crawling through my clothes and up my neck. “You are trying to prove yourself to the same people who cast you out like you meant nothing to them. That's what you're using me for?” I screamed at her. A vein in my neck threatened to pop. “You don't understand what you heard.”“Do me the honours,” I laughed as I flung my hand around. “Make me understand, Sayora.

Chapter 69TARLYN'S POV I saw her when the Elders led her into the chambers. Her red dress caught my eyes and the way Len and Thorne fussed over her, I knew who she was. A potential new Luna. “She can't even wield a sword. There's no way Lucien would pick a girl like that,” I said beneath my breath but the way a guard turned to look at me made me realise I might have said it out loud. “What are you looking at?” I snapped at him. He looked away without saying a word. I chewed on my lips. I almost had Lucien where I wanted him yesterday but Serena had to rear her ugly head. I would kill that girl. Now, flashy girls were being paraded before him. What if he found someone he liked? I saw Lucien approaching the chambers and I waited for him to go in before rushing to the doors. “You can't go in,” the guards crossed their swords in front of the door. I rolled my eyes. “Who said I was going in?” I stood by the door, my arms crossed. “You can't stand here either.”“What’s your proble
