บททั้งหมดของ Redemption Of The Rogue Luna: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

The days that followed the mock patrol shifted something in the pack. No one said it aloud, but the lines between suspect and protector began to blur.Where Korra once earned side glances and suspicion, she now received nods, small smiles and gifts. Trainees calling her “Commander” half-jokingly.And Kael, Kael became nearly impossible to separate from.He seemed determined to make up for every moment he had ever doubted her, every moment he had ever let her walk alone. His presence was no longer hesitant or subtle. It was constant, warm, and protective in a way that made Korra’s wolf relax for the first time since she arrived in the pack.*****************On the fourth day after the trial, some pack youths asked Kael to join them by the river for an afternoon swim.Korra had hesitated when Kael invited her to come with them. She had never gone with a group before, but he simply took her hand and said, “Come. Just this once.”One look at his hopeful expression and her resistance diss

They sat on the steps between the shelves.Korra leaned into Kael, her head on his shoulder, while he wrapped his arms around her protectively. As she cried, her tears soaked into his shirt.“I thought she died because she was sick,” Korra whispered. “But she was running, she was trying to keep me alive.”Kael pressed a soft kiss to her hair. “She succeeded,” he said. “You are here, and you are alive.”Korra shook her head. “What if they are still out there? What if they come back for me?”Kael pulled her closer. “Let them try.”She inhaled sharply. His voice was steady, unshakable, and Alpha-level fierce.“I’m not losing you,” he said. “Not to a hunter, not to a pack, and not to fate either.”Korra closed her eyes. His strength grounded her as nothing else could.“We will find out who issued that sealed order,” Kael said. “And why and if anyone is still moving in the shadows… we will end it together.”She whispered, “Why does everything hurt so much, Kael?”He brushed his thumb acros

Her fingers dug into the dirt as if the earth could steady her, but the world tilted, spinning around her as if she had stepped off a cliff.“Why…?” she whispered. “Why would anyone want us dead?”Her vision blurred again, and she didn’t hear the footsteps until it was too late. Something hard slammed into the side of her head.White exploded behind her eyes as her wolf shrieked and the world went black.*****************Kael knew something was wrong long before anyone else realized it.He and Rhyker stood over the strange item the patrol warriors had found. It was a shredded piece of fabric marked with the same rogue emblem found during the mock patrol.“That symbol again,” Kael muttered, his jaw tightening. “This is connected, it has to be.”Rhyker grunted. “I don’t like the timing.”Before Kael could reply, a cold shiver tore down his spine so violently he gasped.His wolf lunged inside him, and Kael staggered.“Kael?” Rhyker snapped. “What’s wrong?”“She’s afraid,” Kael breathed,

The lake was still cordoned off when Rhyker dismissed everyone. Kael stood beside Korra as if welded to her, every muscle in his body drawn tight and trembling with a rage he didn’t know how to contain.Korra could still feel the tremors in her hands long after warriors dragged the poisoned buckets away. She tried to curl her fingers into her palms, to steady them, but the shaking only worsened.She heard only Rhyker's voice echoing in her head, “Because if Kael dies… Silvercrest’s heir will break.”Her lungs tightened every time she replayed those words.Kael noticed, and he walked beside her, close enough that their shoulders brushed, but not close enough to overwhelm her. “Don’t disappear into your head,” he murmured.“I’m not,” she whispered.He gave her a flat stare. “You are.”She swallowed. “I just… didn’t think anyone would go this far.”“Someone did,” Kael said. “Someone inside.”Korra shivered. “Kael… if something happens to you”“It won’t.” His voice sharpened. “I won’t let

Silence fell over the command center as warriors paused in their preparations, exchanging uncertain glances. Even Rhyker's expression darkened."No," Kael said flatly. "Absolutely not.""Kael…""I said no." His voice cracked. "We don't negotiate with rogues, and we certainly don't hand over pack members to appease them.""Even if it saves lives?" Korra challenged, though the thought of facing her father again made her want to vomit. "Even if it's the only way to protect those villages?"Kael moved around the table with predatory speed, gripping her shoulders. "You think I would let him take you? You think I would survive watching that happen?"His eyes blazed with such fierce protectiveness that her breath caught. This wasn't just the mate bond speaking; this was Kael, the man who had shown her kindness when she had nothing, who had believed in her when no one else did."We find another way," he said, his voice dropping to something raw and desperate. "There's always another way."Bef
