Semua Bab The Alpha's Scorned Mate : Bab 121 - Bab 126

Selene It felt so good to hold my sword again. It had been too long. Granted, I’d been busy giving birth and looking after a newborn, but still. The weight of the hilt in my hand was like heaven. Avery was an exceptional Gamma, truly. She was brilliant at hand-on-hand combat, an art form not all warriors practiced. Sure, we often fought in wolf form, and she had training exercises for that, too, but there were times when we couldn’t shift and had to fight in human form. Avery told me the ability to take down an enemy in human form is what separated the good warriors from the sub-par ones. I’d always been fascinated with warriors. Growing up in the slums, we didn’t see them often. We were forbidden from so much as even stepping foot on the warrior training grounds back at Crescent Moon, so the only time I’d ever seen warriors growing up was at official pack events or when they came through the slums to arrest someone—which wasn’t often since the rest of the pack didn’t really care

Selene My heart stopped, and I stared in utter disbelief as I realized that it was, in fact, Jax. But how was that possible? How had he found the Silvermist Pack? No one knew they were still alive. It...it didn’t seem right. It had been almost a year since that painful day when he exiled me. Why was he here? I pulled back from Jack. “What’s wrong?” he asked, sensing my mood had shifted. I shook my head. “It’s Jax,” I said faintly. “What? Where?” he asked, whipping his head around in the direction I was looking. Jack knew all about Jax, as did Avery. I’d told them the whole story, from the Alpha Mate Reveal to the rejection. Jack had been angry when I recounted the public rejection and exile details. He’d said he hated him, full stop. It was different with Avery. I didn’t have my mom here at Silvermist, so she stepped in and took on a motherly role. I’d spent countless nights alone with Avery, crying, trying to work through all the pain that Jax had caused. She’d comforted me,

Selene Instantly, Jack shifted, too. Avery and I instinctively stepped backward. They were roughly the same size, both wolves muscular. They snapped their jaws at each other and started to circle one another. Storm let out a menacing roar, but I saw him limping slightly as he circled Jack’s wolf. That was odd—he must be hurt. Storm bared his claws. He pounced on Jack’s wolf and his claw connected with Jack’s shoulder, leaving four deep gashes. They instantly started oozing blood. Jack’s wolf didn’t even hesitate, though. He leaped through the air and sunk his teeth into Storm’s front leg. Storm tossed Jack’s wolf off him, causing Jack’s wolf to hurl through the air and land with a loud thud. Jack’s wolf got up. His gash was bleeding profusely now, as was Jax’s leg. Both wolves snarled, their eyes locked on one another. I stood frozen in place. Their power and alpha energy surged through the air, and the children let out a terrified gasp. Avery darted over and stood in front of th
