บททั้งหมดของ Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Kane's POV The day of the meeting with the Alphas finally came.The council chamber smelled of dominance and tension. Twelve Alphas sat at the long carved table, each of them strong enough to command entire packs. Even without words, the air was filled with challenges. The Elders stood along the walls, watching in silence, judging every move.Zack sat at my right, his jaw looking tight. Lucas sat on my left, looking like he owned the room even though half the Alphas present would gladly see his head roll. Together, the three of us carried the weight of our pack but I could feel the eyes measuring us, waiting for cracks.Magnus of Ironfang, thickset and scarred from years of war, was the first to speak. His voice was gravel and steady.“We’ve handled rogues before but not like this, they’re striking in coordinated waves. Small bands at first, then larger groups. It’s not random.”Brann of the Shadow Claws slammed his fist against the table, making the wood creak. “Someone’s leading the

Lucas’s POVI leaned against the wooden fence, my clapping echoing across the training ground.“Well, well,” I said, my voice dripping with amusement. “That’s my girl.”Orion lay flat on the dirt, his wolf flashing in his eyes, he was obviously humiliated. Ava stood above him, staff gripped tight, she was breathing fast but her stance solid. She wasn’t trembling the way she used to. No….she was steady.And fuck, if that didn’t make something inside me stir hot and fierce.Tracy rushed forward, kneeling beside Orion. “Are you alright?” she whispered but her eyes shot daggers at Ava.“Stay back, Tracy.” I pushed off the fence, taking my time crossing the field. My boots crunched against the gravel with each step. “Wouldn’t want you getting hurt next.”Her lips pressed tight but she didn’t move.Ava’s hands clenched around the staff. She was still braced, still ready, even though the adrenaline was making her breaths come hard. My wolf growled inside me, proud.I stopped right in front o

Kane’s PovIt's been weeks since the meeting with the other Alphas, plans had been made, alliances strengthened. For the first time in weeks, I felt like we had a strategy that could hold against the rogue threat.Then the door burst open.One of my guards stumbled in, his face pale. “Alpha Kane…survivors. They’re at the border. They say they’re from….Bloodfang Pack.”The name hit me like a fist. Bloodfang, that was Ava’s old pack. The one that spat her out, broke her spirit, left her with scars that no one could see but I could feel through the bond.I stood, my chair scraping hard against the floor. “Bring them in.”The guard nodded and disappeared.Zack leaned forward, his arms crossed. “Bloodfang? That’s Ava’s pack.”Lucas smirked faintly but his eyes sharpened. “What the hell would they be doing here? Last I heard, they were too proud to ask for anyone’s help.”“They must be desperate,” Zack muttered.I didn’t answer. The doors opened again. This time, the guard stepped aside to

Ava’s POV “What do you want, Tracy?” I asked, my tone flat.She clasped her hands together, taking a fewl steps toward me like we were old friends. “Only to talk, didn’t get the chance when last we saw… after what happened with Orion.” Her eyes flicked to the ground as if embarrassed on his behalf. “I’m sorry about that.”My lips pressed tight. Sorry? She was never sorry.I crossed my arms. “Say what you want to say and leave me alone.”Tracy tilted her head, her smile never fading. “I came to say… I’ve missed you.”I almost laughed in her face. “Missed me?”“Yes.” Her voice softened, almost convincing. “You were like a sister to me once, do you remember? We used to share everything. I…I don’t want us to be enemies anymore.”My chest burned with anger. “You made sure we were enemies, you framed me, you made me the outcast of our pack. You stood there when they called me wolfless, when they stripped me of everything and you—” My voice shook and I stopped myself, forcing the words down

Kane’s POVI couldn’t get the sight out of my head.Ava, standing in the middle of the training ground, her chest heaving, sparks crawling over her skin. The dummy had been split clean in half, the ground scattered with broken wood.I’d seen warriors fight with everything they had, seen Alphas destroy enemies with one blow but never like that. Never with that kind of raw, untamed force.And it terrified me.Not because I thought she’d hurt me but because I knew what would happen if the elders found out. They would twist this, they would say she was a threat. They would demand she be controlled or worse, removed.I found her in her room later that night. She was sitting by the window, staring out into the dark forest. The moonlight lit her face, soft and calm, as if she hadn’t just turned the entire training ground upside down.“Ava.” My voice came out rougher than I intended.She turned quickly, standing. “Kane.”For a moment, I just looked at her. She seemed so small, standing barefo
