Semua Bab Daddy Alpha, Take Me : Bab 161 - Bab 167

~Nadia The room had grown unfamiliar to me. Not because anything had changed within it, but because I had. Days had passed…how many exactly, I wasn’t sure anymore…and yet the air still felt the same. Still. Stale. Heavy with everything I refused to face and everything I could no longer ignore. I pushed myself into the corner of the wall as I sat, holding my knees to my cheeks, my gaze unfocused as it drifted across the scattered mess that had once been my space. Clothes lay untouched where they had fallen, the curtains remained drawn halfway, letting in just enough light to remind me that time was moving… even if I wasn’t. Nothing interested me. Not the quiet outside. Not the life within the pack house. Not even Lucian. My fingers tightened slightly against the fabric beneath me at the thought, my chest constricting as something sharp twisted deep inside. Lucian. The name alone felt like a wound. Pain came first, then anger. And beneath it… something darker. Something I didn’

~NadiaFor a moment, the world felt quiet again.Not the heavy, suffocating silence I had been drowning in for days, but something softer…fragile, almost unreal, like it didn’t belong to me anymore.I lay there, still, my breathing slowly evening out as my eyes lifted to meet his.Lucian’s green eyes held mine, steady, searching, his hands resting gently against my cheeks as he whispered. There was something in his eyes…something deep and unguarded…that made my chest tighten despite everything I knew.Despite everything I had learned.The last few minutes lingered between us, unspoken but undeniable. I had felt every second of it. Every angle he grounded me on the bed, just moments ago. For that brief, dangerous moment… I had allowed myself to forget the truth, the pain. To forget everything he had done.But reality was never far behind. The weight returned slowly at first, like a shadow creeping back into place, pressing against my chest, tightening around my thoughts until I could

~Aiden The room settled the moment I began to speak. Voices lowered, movements stilled, and gradually, attention gathered where it needed to be…on me.I didn't need to worry about Damian and Malakai slipping out, because I already positioned guards behind them.I let my gaze move across them slowly. Faces filled the hall, familiar and unfamiliar, all carrying the same question in their eyes.Why are we here?I drew in a steady breath before speaking.“I know this gathering was sudden,” I began, my voice calm, carrying just enough to reach every corner of the hall without strain. “And I understand that many of you are wondering why you were called here without explanation.”A few murmurs stirred, quiet but present.“I wouldn’t have done that,” I continued, “unless it was necessary.”That settled them further.“This concerns the safety of the pack.” I said and complete silence followed. “For some time now, something hasn’t been right,” I said, my tone steady, grounded. “Our movements h

~Nadia The silence that followed Aiden’s final words did not feel natural.It pressed in from every side, thick and unmoving, as though the entire hall had been forced into stillness against its will. No one spoke. No one shifted. Even the air itself seemed to hold its breath.I stood by the corner, my fingers curled tightly against my palm, my gaze fixed ahead though my thoughts refused to stay steady. Aiden’s voice still echoed in my mind, each word replaying with a weight that refused to settle.Elder Damian.A traitor.The accusation alone had been enough to shake the room, but now… now something else was coming.Something final. Something that would either shatter everything…Or prove nothing at all.Aiden moved first.I watched him step aside slightly, his posture calm, controlled, as his gaze turned toward the man he had brought with him.The seer nodded and moved forward.A quiet shift moved through the crowd as attention followed, unease rippling beneath the surface of the si
