Semua Bab A Vengeful Luna. Three Alphas : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Derek Pov Her breath stutters violently.But she still doesn’t speak.I bring both hands up, cupping her face lightly, carefully, so she can pull away if she wants. “Tell me what happened.”She shakes her head again. “You’ll be angry,” she whispers.“I’m already angry,” I say quietly. “But not at you.”Her eyes flicker with something,fear? uncertainty?, I can’t tell, but I press on before it vanishes.“Were you threatened?”She doesn’t answer.“Were you punished unfairly?”Nothing.“Elise,” my voice cracks, “are you scared?”Her breath breaks then. Not fully, not loudly, just enough to confirm everything I feared.She’s terrified.And she’s been dealing with it alone.I lean forward, resting my forehead lightly against hers. “I’m right here. You’re not alone. You don’t ever have to be alone again.”A tear slips down her cheek, hitting my thumb.“Elise,” I try again, gentle but firmer now, “I’m not leaving. I’m not giving up. I will sit here all night if I have to. I will sit here unt

Alpha King Russell PovThe throne room feels colder tonight.Perhaps it is the stone which was veined with silver runes that pulse whenever the power of the crown stirs. Or perhaps it is me. The longer I sit on this throne, the more I feel the chill of its expectations seeping into my bones.Rubbing my temple, I leaned back against the carved obsidian spine of the throne and fixed my gaze on the shimmering vision forming in the air above my palm. It was a live mind link feed of my sons. Damon was standing at the threshold of the fire circle with his shoulders squared, but hesitation rippled across his aura like cracks in a frozen lake. Drake was a storm. His jaw was clenched and his posture was aggressive, ready to challenge anything that breathes. Derek was neither calm or agitated, he was silent, blank faced and his eyes were distant. It was a triad of discord. Three wolves that were bred for unity were now splintered like fractured glass.My throat tightened at the sight as

Elise Pov The moonlight never feels gentle in the palace gardens.With my head bowed, I walked slowly along the winding path, my fingertips grazing the hedge as though the cool leaves could anchor me in a place where everything felt like it was slipping through my fingers.The night air was humming, not just with crickets or the rustle of the roses, this hum was different. It was filled with vibrating and electric tension.The pack’s unrest pressed on my skin like static, prickling along my arms and spine. I tried to inhale deeply, but even the night felt too heavy. After a while, I paused beside the reflecting pool, and in the glassy surface I saw my own reflection. My head was throbbing as the remnants of a fragmented mind-link rippled through me.Damon’s voice though it was distant crackled like lightning. “She’s the spark that ignited the fire.”I froze. The words were faint, but they sliced through cleanly. I wrapped my arms around myself, trying to steady the shaking in m

Elise Pov I braced myself to whatever was to come. The wolf seemed to glare at me, those dark eyes boring through my very being. I prepared myself to fight, unwilling to let go of my mission here tonight. However, within a blink of an eye, the wolf seemed to melt into the night. Didn't it come for me? Wasn't it the guardian of the ancient rune? With the disappearance of the wolf, the cavern violently. The writing in the parchment in my hand started fading, slowly. " No!" I screamed, trying desperately to read a line or two. It was a waste as each word seemed to disappear from my brain too. As the cavern shook more violently, I hurriedly sneaked out of the only cave that hadn't been blocked by the fallen stones. It was dark but with my wolf eyes, I was able to crawl out of the secret cave. Unexpectedly, I found myself on one of the route to the border with a figure standing akimbo in the darkness. A familiar figure, one that had been with me these past few days. " Derek?" I ca

Elise PovThe moment Damon’s voice rang through the hall, I felt a shockwave. It was so violent that it tore a ripple across the mate bond that made my breath hitch and my heart seize.His accusation had hit me like a blade driving straight into my ribs.The bond between us flared in protest, a sting so sharp that it feels like lightning beneath my skin. My hands began to tremble and for a heartbeat, the room spun once. Damon, what are you doing? – I yelled in my head when in reality, I wanted to yell out on the top of my voice. My gaze drags to him in a slow and unwilling manner. And when I finally met his eyes, I saw nothing of the man who once whispered promises into my neck.There was nothing left of the wolf that shielded me from every danger.What was staring back at me now was wildness. It was possessive fury, and an unhinged desperation.His chest heaved with every breath, his muscles tensed and his jaw was clenched so hard that I heard the faint grind of teeth. He pointe
