The Alpha's Accidental Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

Marisol’s POVThe forest went silent. No birds, no insects, no wind just oppressive, unnatural quiet.“Everyone behind me,” Kael ordered, his wolf form bristling. “Now.”We clustered together Marion’s fighters, Vera, Gray, Dr. Rhodes, and me at the center.“What are they?” I whispered.“Wendigos. Ancient curse-born creatures that feed on supernatural essence.” Dr. Rhodes’s voice shook. “They were sealed away centuries ago.”“How do we kill them?”“You don’t. You survive them. Maybe.”The trees at the forest edge began to wither. Leaves blackened, bark cracked, as if something was draining life from everything it touched.Then I saw it.The creature was impossibly tall ten feet at least, skeletal thin with gray-white skin stretched tight over bones. Its face was elongated, mouth too wide, filled with needle teeth. But the worst part was its eyes empty black voids that focused directly on my stomach.“Precious,” it hissed. “Two lights burning so bright inside the flesh-mother. We can ta

Marisol's POVI landed hard on something soft. Not grass the texture was wrong, almost like silk but alive, pulsing beneath me. When I opened my eyes, the sky was wrong. Instead of stars, there were swirling colors that moved like aurora borealis, but in shades I'd never seen before."Easy," Lena's voice said. "The between-place takes adjustment. Your brain is trying to process things that don't exist in normal reality.""Where are we?""Nowhere. Everywhere. A pocket dimension created by the first nephilim as a sanctuary." She gestured around us.We stood in a valley surrounded by impossible mountains that seemed to fold in on themselves. Buildings dotted the landscape some ancient, others futuristic, a few made of pure light. Figures moved between them, but I couldn't focus on them directly. They shifted, changed."There are others here," I said."Refugees. People hiding from various threats. You'll meet some eventually, but first, we get you settled." Lena helped me to my feet. "How

Marisol’s POVThe world spun. Metal crunched. Glass shattered. We hit the ground upside down, my seatbelt the only thing keeping me from crashing through the windshield.Pain radiated through my shoulder, but worse was the cramping in my stomach. Sharp, sudden. Wrong.“The babies,” I gasped.“Hold still.” Seraphine was beside me, hands glowing gold. Through the shattered windows, the wendigo circled the overturned car. “Gray?”No answer from the front seat.Seraphine cut my seatbelt, catching me before I fell. “We need to move.”“Something’s wrong. I can feel”The wendigo’s face appeared in the window, inches away. “Come out, flesh-mother. We’ll be gentle with the lights. You, however”A massive black wolf slammed into the creature, tearing it away.Kael.Through the bond, I felt his rage, his relief, his absolute determination. He’d found me.More wolves appeared Vera in gray-silver form, others I didn’t recognize. The Blackwood pack had come in force.“Out, now!” Seraphine pulled me

Marisol’s POVThree days after Chicago, the world was still reeling.Every news channel showed the same footage creatures emerging from a portal, wolves fighting, two newborn babies glowing with power that erased monsters. The internet had exploded with theories, panic, and surprisingly, support.“Seventy percent approval rating for supernatural beings existing,” Vera said, watching the news. “Sixty percent want peaceful coexistence.”“And the other forty percent?” I asked, adjusting Luna in my arms.“Want us all dead or contained.” Vera switched channels. “Three governments are demanding the Conclave reveal itself. The UN is calling an emergency session.”Kael walked in carrying Aurora. “Let them call sessions. We’re not going anywhere until the girls are stronger.”The babies were growing fast. Too fast. They’d already gained two pounds each, and their eyes were silver like Kael’s.“The Conclave sent another message,” Gray reported. “Elder Sabine wants to meet. Tomorrow, alone, unde

Marisol’s POV“I decoded more of Thomas’s files,” Kael said, pulling up his laptop in our private office. The twins were finally asleep after a fussy evening, and we’d stolen this rare moment alone. Outside, the compound was quiet except for the usual patrol sounds.Encrypted documents filled the screen pages and pages of coded information that Vera’s tech team had spent weeks breaking down. Names, dates, financial transactions spanning decades. Bank accounts in countries I’d never heard of. Shell corporations layered so deep they seemed designed to hide something massive.“The Architect has been planning this for over fifty years,” Kael continued, his finger scrolling through files. “Every major supernatural event in the last half-century the Conclave wars, the pack territory shifts, even the development of modern fertility technology it’s all connected.”I leaned closer to the screen, my scientist brain trying to make sense of the data. “Connected how?”“Like pieces on a chess board
