Semua Bab REJECTED AND REBORN AS THE ALPHA KING'S LUNA : Bab 61 - Bab 67

"No one is surrendering anyone," Celeste said firmly. "But we need time to consider options." Ravencrest pulled a pocket watch from his coat, checking it with casual elegance. "Time is a luxury I'm disinclined to grant. You have one hour to decide. Surrender the twins, or we attack. Every wolf here will die, and I'll take the twins anyway. At least this way, the rest of you survive." He turned and walked back to his army, his silver hair catching moonlight like a banner. The Council exploded into argument. Thorne advocated loudly for surrender. Damien remained silent, his expression calculating. I could see him weighing options, considering angles. If the vampires took Thelma, his political rival Xavier would be devastated. The True Alpha might even leave the pack in grief. Damien saw opportunity in disaster. Alpha Vera argued against surrender on principle. Marcus Grey pointed out they had no army capable of defeating vampires. Only Celeste seemed to be thinking beyond the immedi

POV: Xavier Ravencrest smiled, showing fangs. "Meet your opponents, wolves. Malakai, six hundred years of battlefield experience. Seraphine, dhampir witch who's killed more wolves than you've met in your lifetime. And The Silent One, who hasn't spoken in three centuries. The last time he fought wolves, forty-seven died. Good luck." He laughed and retreated with his champions. "We're going to die," Luna said quietly beside me. "Maybe," I replied. "But we'll die fighting for what's right. That counts for something." The Oracle appeared, gesturing for us to follow her. "Come. I have much to teach you and very little time to do it." +++++++ The training was brutal. The Oracle took us to a secluded clearing and immediately began drilling ancient vampire killing techniques. Vampires were faster than wolves, stronger than humans, and could manipulate shadows and blood magic. "Their weakness is their arrogance," the Oracle said. "They've lived so long, they underestimate their opponen

POV: Theo The mate bond with Luna burned through me like fire, connecting us in ways I'd never imagined possible. Every hit she took, I felt. Every surge of her Alpha power, I shared. We were separate bodies but somehow one being, fighting together despite the distance between us. I clutched the arena barrier, my hands pressed against the invisible wall that kept me from reaching her. Through our bond, I could feel her exhaustion, her pain, her absolute determination not to surrender. "Come on, Luna," I whispered. "You can do this." In the arena, Luna circled the three vampire champions in her massive Alpha wolf form. Silver fur gleamed with both sweat and blood. She'd broken Malakai's neck minutes ago, a sickening crack that echoed across the arena. He lay twitching on the ground, regenerating but temporarily out of the fight. Seraphine hissed, her dhampir features fully revealed now. Her eyes glowed red, fangs extended, and dark magic swirled around her hands like living shado

POV: Celeste I had lived for twelve hundred years. I had survived wars between packs, witch hunts, vampire invasions, and the collapse of entire civilizations. But I had never seen anything like this. Dr. Cassandra Vex stood in the ruins of our arena, surrounded by soldiers armed with weapons that hummed with unnatural energy. Her blue glowing eyes swept across us with clinical detachment, like we were specimens in a lab rather than living beings. "Stand down," I commanded my wolves, raising my hand to stop them from attacking. "Everyone hold position." "Wise decision," Dr. Vex said. "Though I should clarify, standing down won't save you. It will simply make the capture process less painful." One of the younger pack warriors, a hot headed male named Derek, ignored my command. He shifted into wolf form and charged at the nearest soldier. Dr. Vex didn't even flinch. She pressed a button on a device at her wrist. A high pitched sonic pulse erupted from the soldier's weapon.
