Semua Bab The Mind Link That Exposed Him: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My mate, Alpha Lucius, was Alliance Chairman for four years. And I put him there. Just before his re-election, I found out he had a pup with another omega.He can kiss that seat goodbye.Just last night, Lucius and I were at dinner, talking about the election."Darling, my re-election is a sure thing."Lucius sat beside me, leaning in to kiss my neck."You are the strongest Alpha because you are my mate. And only the strongest Alpha is worthy of me…"I trailed off, frozen.Lucius didn't notice. He just smiled at me, a look of casual entitlement on his face."Be your what? Your one and only Alpha?"He leaned in to kiss me again, but I shoved him away on instinct.Because just a moment ago, he was mind-linking someone else.As his lips touched my neck, I’d heard the words that made my world crash.“My sweet little pup. Daddy’s moving you and Mommy into the new villa tomorrow. I built it just for you.”Lucius’s smile vanished. His brow furrowed in annoyance."What's wrong?"His powerful A

Lucius’s office was lavish, as always. Massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the entire sprawling city.All of this, built on the wealth of our Silver Moon pack."Have a seat, my love." Lucius pulled out a chair for me, pouring a cup of tea, playing the part of the perfect, doting mate. "I had them prepare lunch."Lunch arrived quickly, brought in by none other than Clara.She'd changed into a crisp uniform that hugged her curves just a little too perfectly.But the way her hand hovered protectively over her belly gave everything away."Your lunch, Chairman," she said, her head bowed and her voice soft. She didn't dare look at me."Leave it and get out," Lucius's tone was clipped and cold, a clear attempt to distance himself."Wait," I said suddenly.Clara's body went rigid.I dabbed my lips with a napkin, my eyes fixed on her still-flat stomach. I smiled. "Clara, right? How long have you been with the Alliance?""Al-almost three years, Luna.""Three years," I nodded, my voice ge

The next day was the Alliance General Assembly, where the election would be held.Morning sunlight streamed through the windows. Lucius was full of energy, adjusting his tie.He seemed to be in an excellent mood, as if last night's unpleasantness had never happened.He wanted to play the part of the loving, devoted couple in front of the entire pack, just like we always did."Darling, you'll be there with me today, won't you?" He moved to hug me. "Today, they will witness our victory once again."I sidestepped him just before he could touch me.I pressed a hand to my forehead, feigning exhaustion."I'm sorry, Lucius. I don't feel well today," I said softly, my voice weak. "I didn't sleep well."A flash of annoyance crossed his face, but it was quickly replaced by confidence."Alright, then. You rest here. Wait for my good news."He turned to leave, but I stopped him."Wait."He looked back."Even though I can't be there, as Chairman, you need a capable assistant to handle things."I li

That night, the rain fell in sheets.I was in my study, handling Silver Moon pack affairs, when I heard a frantic pounding on the door.No, it was more like someone was trying to break it down."Anya! Open the door! Please!"It was Lucius, his voice choked with desperation and terror.I ignored him, my eyes fixed on the documents in front of me. The pounding grew more frantic, punctuated by his pathetic wails."Anya! I know you're in there! Please, help me!"After ten minutes, the noise stopped.I thought he'd given up. But then came a heavy thud from the window.He was climbing in.I watched with cold eyes as the once-mighty Chairman of the Alliance crawled through my window like a stray dog.He was soaked to the bone, his suit in tatters, his face scratched and bleeding from the branches outside.The moment he saw me, he fell to his knees."Anya!" He grabbed my legs and sobbed. "I was wrong! I was so, so wrong! Please, forgive me!"I looked down at the man I had once admired, now gro

On the day of the ritual, the Alliance Grand Hall was packed.Every pack leader was present, media drones hovered, and the entire wolf world was watching the trial of blood.I sat in the VIP section of the main stage, dressed in the formal regalia of the Silver Moon pack.Lucius stood at the center of the stage in a white robe meant to symbolize purity, his face a mask of tragic determination.A fine performance.When the guards escorted Clara onto the stage, she looked weak and terrified, her trembling earning her a great deal of sympathy."Everyone," Elder Morrison, the presiding official, raised an ancient crystal sphere. "Today, we will witness the most sacred Blood Proving Ritual. The Moon Goddess herself will reveal the truth."The hall fell silent. Everyone held their breath.Morrison approached Clara and placed the sphere on her stomach. The orb began to glow with a faint silver light."Clara Winters, do you swear on your life to accept the judgment of the Goddess?""I... I do,
