The ultimatum from kain

Chapter 130Darius's POVI stood in my chambers staring at nothing, my mind replaying the conversation with Sebastian over and over. The look on his face when I'd told him I felt nothing for him. The way his voice had broken when he'd said he was done trying.I'd done the right thing. I'd pushed him away before things got more complicated. Before the bond became impossible to ignore. Before—Pain.Sudden, sharp, overwhelming pain exploded through my chest. I gasped and stumbled, my hand flying to my sternum like I could physically hold my heart together.What was happening?The bond. The mate bond that I'd been suppressing for months suddenly felt like it was being ripped out of me. Like someone had reached into my chest and was tearing away pieces of my soul.I tried to breathe but couldn't. My lungs wouldn't work. My vision blurred at the edges.Then my legs gave out completely and I hit the floor hard, the impact jarring through my already agonized body."Sebastian!" I screamed h

The breaking point

Chapter 131Darius POVI woke violently, jerking upright with my hands fisted in the sheets before I was even conscious of being awake.My chest was heaving. My skin was damp. The room felt too small, the walls pressing in from every direction, and inside me Kain was not restless the way he had been for the past several days. He was furious and dominant in a way that made my skull pound with the force of his presence."Get up," he snarled."I'm up." I pressed the heel of my hand to my sternum. The ache was there again, deep and constant, like a bruise on the inside of my ribs.Every time I thought I was beginning to grow accustomed to it, it shifted, sharpened, found new ways to remind me of exactly what I had done.I swung my legs off the bed and sat on the edge, breathing slowly. In and out. Trying to find some measure of control.It did not work.The moment I tried to press down on the bond, to suppress it the way I had been doing for months, pain erupted across my chest like a b

Calculated Cruelty

Chapter 132Lance The room was too small.That was the first thing I thought every morning when I woke up in this place. A guest quarters. A courtesy room with plain walls and basic furniture and a window that looked out onto pack grounds that were not mine. Darius had not even offered me a better room. Had not come to check on me or sent word.Nothing.I stopped pacing and stood at the window, my arms crossed over my chest, staring out at the grounds below. Pack members moved about their morning routines with the ease of people who belonged somewhere. Wolves sparring near the eastern yard. Younger members heading towards the training field. The healer moving between buildings with her bag on her shoulder.All of it ordinary. As if I was not here.I turned away from the window.Darius had always come back before. That was simply the way it worked between us. There would be distance, but then Darius would come back. He always did.I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the floor

The attack

Chapter 133Sebastian POVThe marketplace was loud in the mornings.That was the main reason I had started going early. The noise helped. Vendors calling out to each other across the stalls, the clatter of crates being unloaded, the ordinary back-and-forth of people who had things to do and places to be. It filled up the space in my head that had been very quiet and very loud at the same time since I had left the pack house.I had been here eleven days.I knew that because I had been counting, not intentionally, but the way you count things when each day feels distinct and separate and you are very aware of the fact that you are getting through them one at a time.I shifted the crate in my arms and carried it through to the back of Marta's stall. She was a round, practical woman in her sixties who sold dried goods and had accepted my offer to help with lifting and restocking without asking many questions. That was the part I appreciated most."Other one as well," she said, nodding

The hunt

Chapter 134Darius POVThe bond had gone quiet again by the time I reached the marketplace.Not the gradual quiet of distance. The sudden kind. The kind that cut off mid-signal like a wire snapped cleanly in two. One moment it had been screaming through my chest—fear, sharp and unmistakeable, Sebastian's fear—and then nothing. Just the hollow ache that had been living in my sternum for eleven days, unbroken and constant.I did not slow down.The marketplace was winding down for the afternoon. Stalls half-packed, vendors moving around with the easy tiredness of people finishing a working day. The kind of scene that would have told anyone watching that nothing had happened here.I moved through it and let Kain lead.That was not something I did easily or often. Letting my wolf have the front was a loss of control and I did not give that up without reason. But Kain's senses were sharper than mine and right now I needed sharp. I needed every advantage I had.Kain pulled me left, away fr

Face to face

Chapter 135Sebastian POVMy wrists hurt.That was the first clear thought I had when the fog of the struggle settled enough to let me think at all. My wrists hurt because whatever they had bound them with was tight and the skin underneath had already started to protest. I had been trying to work my hands free since they had put me in the back of whatever vehicle had brought me here and I had not made any progress.I stopped trying and looked around instead.There were lots of trees in every direction. Dense, thick, the kind of woodland that did not exist inside pack territory. Inside Darius's territory the trees were managed, thinned in places, with paths cut through them and markers at the boundary lines. These trees were not managed. They grew into each other, the canopy blocking most of the light, the ground underneath uneven and root-covered.I was not in the pack.The realisation hit me in the stomach and stayed there. I was outside the territory. I did not know how far out

Alpha unleashed

Chapter 136Alpha UnleashedDARIUS POV I heard Lance's voice before I cleared the trees.Torren was two steps behind me and the guards were fanning out through the tree line the way I had told them to, quiet and wide, cutting off any exit route. We had moved fast once the trail had opened up. One of Torren's trackers had picked up the scent outside the pack boundary and we had followed it here without stopping.I did not announce myself.I came through the trees and took in the clearing in the space of a single second.Sebastian on the ground, hands bound, upright but still. Two wolves I did not recognize positioned further back. And Lance, standing over Sebastian, something in his hand, his arm already beginning to rise.I did not think.I crossed the clearing in four strides and hit Lance with everything I had.My shoulder drove into his chest and we went back hard, the impact carrying both of us off our feet. Lance hit the ground and I came down on top of him, one hand already

The truth finally spoken

Chapter 137SEBASTIAN POV My wrists hurt less now that someone had cut the binding off them.I was sitting on the ground where Lance had left me and I had not moved yet because my legs were not entirely ready to cooperate. I was rubbing the marks on my wrists and staring at the ground and trying to arrange my thoughts into some kind of order.Lance's words were still in my head. That was the problem with words delivered that deliberately and that calmly. They did not disappear just because the person who had said them was gone. They sat there and waited.You were never meant to stand beside him. You were never built for it.I knew it was manipulation. I had known it even while he was saying it. Lance had constructed every piece of this situation from the beginning, the rumours, the distance between me and the pack, the night that had started all of it. He had said so himself, plainly, without any apparent concern about admitting it. That was how certain he had been that I was not

The Judgement

Chapter 138Sebastian pov Darius took my hand as we walked back through the pack grounds and did not let go of it.That was the part I kept noticing. Not the wolves stopping to stare as we passed, not the murmur that followed us through the outer yard and towards the pack house entrance. Just his hand around mine, steady and certain, like it had always been there and was not planning on going anywhere.I leaned slightly closer to him and kept my voice low. "They're all staring.""Yes," he said."I can't survive this many people staring at me."He turned his head and pressed his mouth briefly to my hair. "Start getting used to it," he chuckled. "You are the Alpha's mate. They will be looking at you for the rest of your life."My heart did something complicated and fast inside my chest. I did not say anything back because I did not have anything coherent to say. The mark on my neck was warm. A steady, settled warmth that had not faded since he had put it there in the marketplace squa

The Real Mating Ceremony

Chapter 139DariusSebastian had been lying on his side staring at the wall for the better part of an hour.He was not asleep. I knew what Sebastian looked like when he was asleep and this was not it. This was the particular stillness of someone who was very much awake and thinking too hard about something.I sat on the edge of the bed. "You need to start getting ready. They will call for us soon.""What if we postpone it," Sebastian suggested.I exhaled. We had been through this the previous night, twice, and once more just after dawn. I reached over and took his hand."Sebastian.""Just hear me out—""You are going to be fine," I rubbed his shoulders slowly. "Postponing it will not make you any less nervous tomorrow or the day after. It will just mean you spend another night lying on your side staring at that wall."He was quiet for a moment. "What if something goes wrong?""Nothing is going to go wrong.""You don't know that.""I know that the entire pack is currently in the garde
