Semua Bab The Banished Mate: Awakening The Silver Wolf: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Lucian’s heart was heavy with worry. Now that Selena was his mate, the thought of sending her back to the Gamma’s estate filled him with fear. The danger there was real—too real. What if something happened to her before he could stop it?“Lucian,” Selena said softly, taking his hand. Her eyes were steady, though he could see the worry behind them. “You can’t keep me hidden. If I disappear now, they’ll know something is wrong. They’ll be more suspicious. We can’t risk it.”Lucian clenched his jaw. “Then let’s tell Damian everything now. He’ll know what to do. I won’t lose you, Selena. Not after I just found you.”But Selena shook her head gently. “Not yet. I’ll be careful. I promise. But we can’t draw attention too soon. Let me go back... let me help you protect Ella and the pack. Please.”He hesitated. His wolf roared in protest, but deep inside, he knew she was right. So before he let her go, Lucian did what his heart demanded. He marked her as his—his scent, his claim, his protectio

Selena sat quietly in the small corner of her shared quarters, the dim light of the candle flickering as she untied the tiny scroll from the sparrow’s leg. As her eyes moved over Lucian’s words—his heartfelt praise, his romantic promise of protection—her cheeks flushed softly, and a warm smile tugged at her lips. “My light… his heart is with me,” she whispered to herself, holding the note close to her chest. His words filled her with strength. Whatever danger awaited, she would face it—for him, for Ella, for the pack.Meanwhile, Rina, sitting alone near the outer gardens of the Gamma’s estate, received her own letter. The Beta’s words of respect and trust filled her with pride. She reread the line—“I trust you… Protect Selena at all costs.” Unaware of Lucian’s newfound bond with Selena, Rina’s heart soared at the thought that he valued her so deeply. A wild smile spread across her face, and quietly, she vowed: “I will not fail him. I will prove myself worthy of his praise.” Her determ

The night air was thick with silence when the female spy once again slipped into the Gamma’s estate, cloaked in shadow. The soft creak of the old wooden door as it closed behind her seemed to echo through the dimly lit room, where the Gamma sat alone, head bowed, his mind a storm of bitterness and regret.Her voice broke the stillness, smooth as silk but cold as ice. “It is time, Gamma. The waiting is over. The plan must begin.”He lifted his gaze to her, his face drawn, eyes sunken from sleepless nights. “Time?” he echoed, his voice hoarse. “Time for what?”She stepped closer, her eyes glinting with malice. “Time to strike. Damian, Lucian, Ella—they’ve had their reign long enough. Now, they must fall. And you… you must rise.”The Gamma swallowed hard, his heart racing. A part of him longed for power, for revenge. But the other—what was left of the honorable warrior he once was—trembled at the path before him. “How?” he asked, though he already feared the answer.The spy’s smile was t

The night was cool and still as Selena approached Lucian’s estate, her steps heavy with sorrow. Her heart ached, not just from the sting of humiliation but from the bitter taste of betrayal. Tears clung to her lashes, and by the time she reached the entrance, she was trembling.Inside, Lucian stood at the window, his gaze fixed on the path beyond the gate. He’d felt her pain through their bond—sharp, raw, and undeniable. His heart had burned with helplessness, but now, as he saw her approach, all he wanted was to take that pain away.The door opened, and Selena stumbled in, her eyes red from crying.“Lucian...” Her voice broke. “It was awful. They humiliated me. I—”She couldn’t finish. The tears spilled over, and she lowered her head, ashamed.Without a word, Lucian closed the distance between them, gathering her into his arms. He held her tightly, his warmth chasing away the cold that clung to her.“Shh...” he whispered, his voice low and full of emotion. “You’re safe now, my love.

The weight of inaction gnawed at Lucian’s heart. Each hour that passed without word from Rina only added fuel to his growing dread. His wolf was restless beneath his skin, pacing, snarling, demanding he do something.Finally, Lucian could bear it no longer. He made his way back to the Alpha’s estate, his steps swift, his mind made up. It was time Damian knew everything—no more secrets, no more risks.Inside the Alpha’s private chamber, Damian stood by the window, the moonlight casting silver across his sharp features. He turned as Lucian entered, immediately reading the storm in his Beta’s eyes.“What is it, Lucian?”Lucian drew in a deep breath, his heart pounding. Then, in a voice steady but heavy with guilt, he spoke.“Alpha... there’s something I must confess. Something I should have told you long before now.”Damian’s eyes darkened with curiosity—and warning. “Go on.”Lucian didn’t hesitate. He told Damian everything. About his suspicions of the Gamma—the strange meetings with an
