All Chapters of The Contract between two Alphas : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Serena's POV I walked into the council hall like a storm that refused to die down. My heart was still burning from the night before, when my fury had torn through homes and lives. The destruction still smelled faintly in the air burned timber, crushed earth, the sour trace of fear. Every eye in that chamber turned toward me: the elders seated stiffly in their carved chairs, the pack leaders lined up in grim silence, Ada’s worried gaze fixed on me, and Dominic standing at the far end like a shadow carved from stone.They wanted an explanation. They wanted an apology. What they were going to get was the truth.I stopped in the center of the hall, refusing to bow or soften. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, restless, unrepentant. I raised my chin. “You called me here because I destroyed homes,” I said, my voice cutting through the chamber like steel. “Because I unleashed power none of you could control. But let me tell you now—I will not stand here and beg forgiveness for what I did. My

Serena's POV The glow from the council fire still lingered in my mind, but even as the embers died, the heat in my chest wouldn’t. I couldn’t breathe around it; I couldn’t think around it. Every shattered home, every terrified howl, every look on Dominic’s face it haunted me. And I was certain of one thing: I couldn’t forgive him. Not now. Not ever.Ada’s hand on my shoulder was steady, grounding, but it felt like a chain too. “Serena,” she said softly, her voice low enough that no one else could hear, “you have to come with me. Now.”“I’m not going anywhere,” I snapped, yanking my shoulder back. My wolf thrashed inside me, claws scraping against the cage of my skin. “I need to deal with this. I need to make sure he pays.”“You don’t understand,” Ada said, her eyes flashing gold in the dim light. “This isn’t just about him. Your wolf… your fury… someone is feeding it. Someone is pushing you, Serena. Faster than nature intended.”My laugh was bitter, short, sharp. “Feeding it? Pushing

Dominic’s POV I didn’t sleep. I couldn’t. Not after the chaos Serena had unleashed, not after her accusations, not after seeing her rage tear through everything I’d built. My blood still throbbed where her claws had cut me, the pain a reminder that nothing was simple anymore. And then there was Peter. That snake. That human predator masquerading as a politician, and now as a vampire. He had dared touch me, dared sink his teeth into my flesh when I confronted him last night, and I had barely pulled away.I ran a hand through my hair, shaking off the tightness in my jaw. Dante’s sharp voice broke the silence.“Should we start now, boss?”I didn’t answer immediately. I studied the data on my screen, cross-referencing every forged record, every falsified report, every manipulated ledger Peter could have touched. He thought he was clever, hiding behind layers of vampire influence, supernatural intimidation, and mortal proxies. But he wasn’t. Nothing is untouchable when you know where to l

Dominic’s POVThe council chamber felt suffocating the moment I stepped inside. Even before my eyes adjusted, I could feel the tension the way it pressed against the walls, seeped into every glance, every shuffle of fur and robes. The air smelled of fear and anger, a reminder of what had happened just nights ago. Broken homes, injured wolves, shattered trust… and all of it still raw.Serena was here, standing near Ashley. I saw her immediately her posture rigid, shoulders squared, eyes sharp enough to cut glass. My pulse quickened at the sight of her. She’d been through so much, yet here she was, unwavering. I had grown close to her, yes, but this… this was far more than a bond it was a lifeline, a tether to something I couldn’t afford to lose.And then there was Basty. My younger half-brother, a storm wrapped in silver eyes and anger so raw it could ignite forests.“Dominic,” Basty’s voice cut through the murmurs, thick with accusation and venom. “You expect us to believe everything

Serena’s POVThe moment I heard the news, a cold fire ignited in my chest. Ashley had been captured by rogue werewolves wolves who didn’t care about pack laws or alliances, wolves who thrived on chaos. My stomach tightened, fear clawing at me, but it was mingled with fury. I could feel my rare werewolf power pulsing beneath my skin, sharp and hungry, sensing the danger Ashley was in. I had never used it fully outside training, but now, desperation demanded it. Ashley has lost her wolf for me and couldn't fight. And I know Cruz and Peter were definitely behind all of this. Dominic’s voice came over the comm, steady but tense. “Serena… you can’t do this alone.”I ignored the tremor in my own voice and let my anger speak. “I’m not going to sit here while they hurt her. She’s part of my pack..my family!”Dominic’s sigh was heavy, but I could hear the determination behind it. “Then I’m coming with you.”I blinked, surprised. “You don’t have to. I can…”“No. Not this time,” he interrupted,
