All Chapters of Mated To My Alpha Step Brother: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Nova's POVThe guards returned just before sunset with two struggling figures. Elder Rowan and Elder Catherine. Both had their hands bound and looked furious at being caught."Where did you find them?" I asked the head guard as they were dragged into the council chamber."Eastern border, Luna. Meeting with a group of rogues in the forest." He gestured to one of his men who stepped forward with a leather satchel."We found this on Elder Rowan." The guard opened the satchel and pulled out several rolled parchments. "It included maps of our defenses, lists of our remaining warriors and patrol schedules."I took the documents and unrolled them. My stomach turned as I read through detailed information about our pack's weaknesses. It was everything the rogues would need to destroy us completely."You were leaking our security defense power to bandits and rogues." I looked at Rowan directly. "Giving them everything they needed to kill us.""We were ensuring our survival!" Rowan spat back. "T

Killian's POVI woke to movement beside me. The bed shifted as Nova slipped out from between Ken and me. My eyes cracked open to find her already halfway across the room, reaching for her clothes."What are you doing?" My voice came out rough with sleep.She turned, looking apologetic. "I need to get dressed. I have to leave soon.""Leave?" I sat up fully, the fog of sleep clearing quickly. "Already? You just got here.""I know." She pulled on her travelling dress; the same one she had worn yesterday. "But I cannot stay away from my pack any longer. It would be super irresponsible.""Just a few more hours." I threw back the covers and moved towards her. "Stay for breakfast at least.""Killian—""Please." I caught her hand, pulling her close. "We barely had any time together. Just a little longer."She looked up at me, conflict clear in her eyes. I could see she wanted to stay. Could feel it through the mate bond."My pack needs me." Her voice was soft but firm. "They are expecting me

Nova's POVI knelt beside Seraphina's unconscious body, my hands shaking as I reached for her. Blood soaked through her hair, dark and wet against my fingers. The gash on her forehead looked deep, angry red against her pale skin."Seraphina!" My voice came out strangled with panic. I grabbed her shoulders and lifted her upper body off the cold floor, cradling her against my chest. "Can you hear me? Please wake up!"Her head lolled to the side, lifeless. Terror shot through me. What if she was dying? What if I had lost her after everything?I pressed my fingers to her neck, searching desperately for a pulse. There was a pulse. It was faint but steady enough for me to know she was alive."Come on." I shook her gently, then harder when she did not respond. "Wake up. Please wake up!"Behind me, the sounds of battle continued to rage. Metal clashing against metal. Screams of pain and fury. But I could not move. Could not leave her here alone and vulnerable.Seraphina's eyelids fluttered. O

Nova's POVI paced the council chamber, my eyes flicking to the door every few seconds. The guards had been searching for over two hours now. Surely, they would find something. Someone. Anyone who did not belong.Footsteps echoed in the corridor and Akon appeared, his expression grim. My heart leapt with hope that quickly turned to dread at the look on his face."Well?" I stopped pacing, my hands clenched into fists at my sides. "Did you find anyone?""No, Luna." He shook his head slowly, frustration clear in his voice. "We searched every room. Every storage closet. Every corner of this palace. There is nobody here who should not be.""That is impossible!" I grabbed the note from the table and thrust it at him. "Someone left this! Someone who is still stalking me!"Akon took the note and read it carefully, his frown deepening. "This is the same handwriting as the notes from before? From when you were at the twin Alphas' territory?""Yes." I rubbed my arms, suddenly cold despite the wa

Jack's POVThe guards' hands tightened on my arms, preparing to drag me away. Panic shot through me. I could not leave. Not like this. Not when I had come so far."Wait!" I shouted, my voice echoing off the palace walls. "Are you not even curious? Not even a little bit curious about how I managed to leave you those notes?"Nova paused. Her back was still to me but I saw her shoulders tense. She had stopped walking.Good. I still had her attention."How did I get into the twin Alphas' territory?" I pressed on, speaking quickly before she could order the guards to drag me away. "How did I leave notes in your chambers? In your books? Under your pillow? Are you not wondering how I did all of that?"She turned slowly, her expression like stone. "I do not care how you did it.""Yes, you do." I met her eyes, refusing to look away even though the hatred burning in them made my chest ache. "You are curious. I can see it.""What I am curious about," her voice was ice cold, "is why you think any
