Semua Bab The Last White Wolf & Her Chosen Kings: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Daeira POVThe path ahead pulsed softly, and I could already feel it, the beginning of the test. It would show me things I didn’t want to see. It would ask questions I wasn’t ready to answer. But I had Auren at my side. And my heart? Was ready.The light here was different.It didn’t come from a sun or moon, just this quiet, ambient shimmer that bathed everything in a surreal silver glow. The leaves sparkled with dew that glowed like stardust. The trees whispered in a language my soul like...half recognized. And the wind was warm and sweet, like it carried the scent of forgotten memories.Auren and I had just stepped deeper into the forest path when the air shifted. Then it stopped. The trees stilled. The breeze vanished. The forest... held its breath.Then came the sound, like thunder cracking inside a cathedral. And a flash of light tore across the sky above us. A figure descended.He wasn’t winged like Auren. No golden robes or shining armor. Just presence. Cloaked in smoke and sha

Daeira POV I dropped to my knees, sobbing, smoke curling in my lungsAuren knelt beside me, wrapping his arms around me without a word.“You saved them,” he whispered.“But I let the evil go.”“No. You bought us time. And gave them life.”I looked up at him. And for the first time… I believed I could be both fierce and good. The forest shimmered. I passed the Trial of Heart. And my heart? It finally felt whole.The forest stilled.Auren’s arms tightened around me, and I swore I could feel the quiet thrum of his heartbeat against mine. It echoed like a tether, real and grounding, the one thing holding me in place.Then the light above us fractured, like glass hit by a hammer. A figure descended from it.Tall. Unreadable. Neither male nor female. Draped in robes of starlight and midnight shadow, their face hidden beneath a silver hood that shimmered with constellations. Their voice, when it came, was a boom that slid beneath my skin and shook the bones of the world.“Daeira of Seralyn

Daeira POVWaking up tangled in limbs, muscle, warmth, and smug male contentment was becoming a whole thing. And honestly? I wasn’t even mad about it.After the night we’d had, glowing, sobbing, and cuddling, the emotional equivalent of skydiving with no parachute, it felt good to wake up with my head on Kael’s chest, Riven snoring dramatically into my shoulder, and Auren drooling against my thigh like a peaceful little golden retriever angel.“You’re leaking,” I mumbled, nudging Auren with my foot.“Biological malfunction,” he muttered sleepily, not moving.Kael chuckled. “Good morning to us.”We all showered together, which, yes, was as steamy and playful as it sounds, got dressed in our various Alpha core aesthetic clothes, and headed down to the dining hall where our usual suspects were already gathered.The staff greeted us like royalty. Plates of eggs, bacon, sweet cakes, and fruit lined the long table, and mugs of steaming drinks sat at every seat. Tarin, ever the efficient que

Daiera POVThe moment the door to our suite clicked shut, I couldn't hold back anymore.The weight of the day, the endless meetings, the whispers of doubt from the pack, the shadow of trials looming like storm clouds...it all crashed down. I needed to shatter it. To burn it away.And I needed him. Only him, in this raw, aching moment."Auren," I breathed, the word like a plea wrapped in fire.He turned, those golden eyes softening with that quiet curiosity that always undid me, but I didn't give him a chance to speak. My hands fisted in his shirt, yanking him close until our bodies collided. Our lips met in a frenzy, hungry and bruising, all teeth and gasping breaths that tasted like desperation and home. He gasped into my mouth, a sound that shot straight to my core, but his arms banded around me like iron vows, pulling me tighter to him. We stumbled back, slamming into the wall with a thud that rattled the sconces. I didn't care. Couldn't stop. My tongue swept his, claiming every

Daeira POVTarin burst into the room like a hurricane, nearly tripping over her own damn feet.“Alpha! You need to wake up, right now. It’s bad. It’s all over the damn network,” she gasped, her eyes wide and wild.I blinked hard, still tangled in limbs and blankets. Riven let out a grumble, and Auren squinted at her with pillow lines across his cheek. Kael sat up instantly, already half in fight mode.Tarin tossed the remote onto the bed. “Just, turn on channel four. Now.”I didn’t ask questions. I grabbed the remote, hit the button, and the screen flickered to life. The council’s smirking faces filled the screen like a lineup of demons in designer suits.Alpha Malrik and Luna Danika sat front and center, with that smug bastard Kade and his gremlin sister Saria on either side. Around them were the rest of the council....Alpha Draeven Korr, Alpha Solas Myrren, Alpha Malvek of Black Hollow, and Luna Valesa Greynight of Greynight Pack.Every single one of them radiated that disgusting sm
