บททั้งหมดของ The Banished Mate: Awakening The Silver Wolf: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Far Behind... Within the cave, the Alpha remained still long after they were gone.His hand rested on an old pendant, blackened with age. A twin to the one Maren wore.A whisper curled through the cavern — soft, feminine, haunting."You cannot run from your blood forever."The Alpha clenched his jaw. “I buried you, Sahra.”The voice only laughed.“And still, I rise in your daughter.”The fire sputtered. The cave grew colder.He exhaled. Slow. Broken.“Moon help me... I may have no choice.”The cave was silent, but the past was not.As the Hollow Moon Alpha sat alone by the dying embers of the fire, the flickering flames seemed to peel back the years. The stones around him blurred, warped — until they became marble halls, warm sunlight, laughter.A time when the world was different.He was younger then. Fierce, bold, the Alpha of the revered Hollow Moon pack. His name was whispered with awe. His word was law.And she… Sahra, the witch with starfire in her eyes, had come not as a threat

Later that night, the night air was cool and still, the moonlight spilling silver over the forest like a gentle caress. Inside the great hall, the pack’s celebration throbbed with laughter and music, their joy echoing through the walls. But Ella stood apart, outside on the balcony, her heart weighed down by swirling thoughts.She leaned against the railing, eyes tracing the glittering stars above, her chest tight with the weight of everything she’d endured. So much had changed. She was no longer the weak wolf, the slave, the outcast. She was a warrior now—strong, respected, unstoppable.Yet her heart twisted in knots, raw with emotions she barely understood. Damian’s words replayed in her mind, his eyes haunting her, his touch lingering like a spark in the dark. Why did he make her feel so alive? So vulnerable?“Ella.”Her breath hitched, aura flaring as she spun around to find Damian standing behind her—tall, powerful, yet gentle. His dark eyes held concern, his presence overwhelming

The moon hung like a silent sentinel in the sky, casting silver light across the forest, painting the trees and river in an otherworldly glow. The night was still, the air cool and sharp, as though the world itself was holding its breath. But inside Ella’s chest, a storm raged—untamed and unrelenting.She stood at the edge of the riverbank, her reflection rippling in the moonlit water. Her body ached from relentless training, muscles sore, bones heavy—but her spirit thrummed with a strange, wild energy. Her wolf stirred beneath her skin, no longer just a whisper, but a rising force.Yet with that power came something more dangerous—feelings she couldn’t suppress, emotions that surged every time Damian drew near. The way his gaze lingered on her… the brush of his fingers… the quiet strength of his voice. Her pulse would quicken, her spirit would blaze, and her soul—gods help her—would tremble.She shut her eyes tightly, chest constricting with a mix of longing and fear. Why him? Why no

Damian watched as Ella climbed down, his heart pounding with pride. She had done it—she proved her strength and courage in front of everyone.But something didn’t feel right.He remembered Zara’s face earlier—the smug look like she was waiting for Ella to fail. Then, when Ella succeeded, Zara’s smile disappeared. She looked furious.Damian’s jaw clenched. This wasn’t just about getting envious of her little successes or jealousy. Zara had really expected something to go wrong. But, why?His eyes moved to Lucian, who stood quietly at the edge of the arena. His gaze was fixed on Ella, his stance tense, and protective.Had Lucian seen something too? Had he stopped something from happening around the arena?Damian’s chest tightened. Zara had planned something—and Lucian might know the truth.---Zara’s Growing ResentmentZara stormed away from the arena, her heart pounding with anger.Everything had been planned. Ella was supposed to fail in front of everyone. She was supposed to fall and

Damian watched the both of from a distance, his eyes narrowing with worry. He caught the sharp tension between Zara and Lucian, and the way Zara looked at Ella—with something like jealousy blazing beneath her smile.Something was off. And Zara was right in the middle of it.He walked over to Ella, his voice calm but firm. “Are you alright?”Ella turned to him, smiling with quiet strength. “I’m fine, Alpha. Lucian offered to train me today.”His chest tightened. Lucian—always watching her, always stepping in to protect her, but from what exactly?.Damian clenched his jaw. He couldn’t let his feelings distract him. He needed answers—about Zara’s behavior, Lucian’s secrets... and why his instincts screamed that Ella was in danger.He watched Zara leave the grounds, her steps sharp, her aura flaring with anger.Damian’s gaze hardened. He would get to the bottom of this. He would protect Ella—no matter what it took.But when he turned back to her, something shifted inside him. Her focus, h
