All Chapters of The Alpha’s Bane : Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Selene flinched as her father’s hand slammed against the table for the third time in this young night. The sharp crack echoed through the chamber, the force rattling the items on the table. “Reckless!” Beta Darian’s voice thundered, sharp and cold. “You stained this family’s name with your foolishness.”Selene’s throat tightened. She opened her mouth, but Lucan shot her a look that warned her to stay silent.Darian’s eyes burned into her, every muscle of his face carved deep with fury. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done?”“I was only…” “Only what?” he barked the words so loud her chest jumped. “Only running into danger without second thought? Only dragging shame across the title of my house? You, Selene, my daughter, behaving like a spoiled pup who thinks the world bends to her obsession!”Her lips trembled. She pressed them together, holding back the sting in her eyes. She hated this, the sound of his rage, the weight of his disappointment. When she was little, she used to run

Aria’s lashes fluttered against her cheeks as she stirred awake. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Kael.He was seated near the edge of the bed, shoulders tense, gaze fixed on her as though he hadn’t allowed himself to blink in hours. The faintest shift of relief flickered across his face when her eyes met his.“You’re awake,” he said, brushing a strand of her from her face. His voice was low and steady. Aria blinked once in affirmation as she tried to sit up. Before she could say anything else, he rose and stepped to the door. “Healer.”The Nightfang healer entered almost immediately, she had been waiting at the door for hours. She moved fast, setting her satchel down by the bed. Kael didn’t take his eyes off Aria even as the healer worked.“How do you feel?” the healer asked, her fingers pressing gently against Aria’s wrist, gauging her pulse.“Better than the first day,” Aria responded, her throat still dry. The healer gave a small smile. “That’s improvement,

Kael sank back into his chair, disapproval written all over his face. His hand ran once over his face, slow and deliberate, as though trying to wash away the sight of Selene standing before him. For a long moment, he didn’t even look at her. It was easier not to. Easier to pretend she wasn’t there, easier to force himself to remain silent, when he had a million words for her. Beta Darian was the first to break the silence. His voice was measured, steady, but Kael could hear the guilt loud and clear. “I know,” Beta Darian started, clearing his throat as though the words themselves weighed too much. “I know Selene has been reckless. She let herself be blinded by… her obsession. And that is wrong.”Kael’s eyes snapped open at that, his jaw tightening. He straightened in his chair, his mask of calm shattering as the anger surged to the surface. His voice cut clean through the chamber.“No,” he interrupted, his tone sharp. “Don’t soften it. Don’t excuse it.” His gaze finally turned, l

The clang of the morning bell echoed through the stone walls, sharp and cutting. Aria stirred awake, her body still heavy from training the day before. Across the room, Mira groaned and buried her face beneath the blanket while Lira sat upright at once, already tying her hair back.“The breakfast bell will follow in minutes,” Lira murmured. “We know!” Aria and Mira echoed from their beds. The girls dragged themselves from their beds to the bathroom. Few moments later, another bell rang—breakfast. Mira sighed, “I swear they live to torment us.”Aria gave a small smile, watching Mira yap all day was now something she was used to. By the time they reached the dining hall, the long tables were already filling up. Wolves moved about quietly. The only sound was that of bowls and mugs clattering. Selene entered with Laura at her side. Her head held high, her steps measured. Heads turned as always, but it wasn’t her composure that drew eyes. It was her cloak—plain black. Her chest bore

The morning bell tolled softly across the pack grounds, its sound echoing into the Beta’s chamber. The faint vibration stirred the air, but inside, the world was warmer, quieter.Laura shifted beneath the blankets on Lucan’s bed, blinking against the faint light creeping in through the curtains. A soft groan escaped her, and before she could move further, Lucan’s arm came around her waist. He drew her back against his chest, his lips pressing lazily into her shoulder, her neck, wherever his mouth landed.She giggled, snapping half-heartedly at him. “Lucan…”“Mm.” His voice was muffled against her skin. “Don’t move yet. Just a few more minutes, baby.”“Minutes?” she turned her head to catch the mischievous gleam in his eyes. “You mean hours.”He grinned, unashamed, and trailed kisses down the slope of her arm. “If I had my way, yes. Hours. Days. The whole moon cycle.”Laura laughed again, warmth rushing to her cheeks. “You’re insatiable.”“And you’re irresistible.” He leaned up, catch
