Semua Bab The Broken Beta’s Redemption : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Damon’s voice echoed in my head over and over again. If I could connect with my wolf, then he would lend his energy. For some odd reason, I understood the meaning of his words as: connect with your wolf, get rid of the risk of going mad, and then we can talk about breaking the gates. I was starting to learn to read deeper into his words rather than take them at face value, and when I did that, a lot of the things he had said made more sense and felt a lot less harsh. I really wondered who he was and why his way of expressing himself was so complicated. The tiny piece of information that his mate was a wolf did little to ease my curiosity. He was so mysterious, with that dark energy surrounding him, but I knew—now I know—that he cares. And if he was willing to offer help, then I would accept it. “I’ll give it a try then,” I finally said, breaking the silence that felt like it lasted forever. “I’ll talk to Varyn—my wolf—as long as you agree to keep your word.” My eyes found Damon’s,

I had never been covered in such darkness before. Damon’s dark fog engulfed me the moment my hand touched it, and I couldn’t even see in front of me. I didn’t know much about vampires, but this, this energy—was suffocating. So suffocating… yet somehow, it wasn’t more than that.I braced myself for the impact, for the pain—the fire they all said I would feel wielding his energy but nothing came. Instead, the place felt painfully familiar, like I had come into contact with this energy before. I twirled my hands through the fog again when I realized it was harmless, and it wrapped around my skin softly.What was happening? Did Damon release harmless energy just so I wouldn’t hurt myself? But then why had he screamed for me not to touch it?Another thought dawned on me, making me whip my head back. Why wasn’t he calling his energy off? It had been a couple of minutes, and I was still wandering in that familiar darkness. Had I done something wrong? Was I trapped here now?I tried to make o

I took a step back, my heart nearly beating out of my chest as I assessed the first damage I might have created with Damon’s energy and Varyn’s help. The moment my eyes lifted to the bars I’d slammed into, they widened as the large dent came into view. I let out a huge gasp as I dropped to the floor. One of the steel bars holding the gate was now completely bent. “It’s working,” I breathed softly, my eyes refusing to leave the spot as hope filled me. We could finally get out of here if we kept this up for a couple of days. “Now that’s what damage is supposed to look like,” Damon’s voice echoed, making me turn to him with a tired smile. I would forever be thankful to him, because without his help none of this would be possible—and without Rex too, because I wouldn’t have been able to wield his power without her. God, I would have so much to say to her if we finally met again. “Thank you,” I whispered, my eyes still on him. He frowned. “Save the thanks until we’re outside,” he sa

Robin’s POV Nothing was the same. Nothing had been the same since Julian was dragged away from us—away from me. Yes, the pack was thriving. Like the elders said, we were left alone, so all our operations were running smoothly. Aries made sure of that. But every attempt he made to even schedule a meeting concerning Julian went nowhere. His father, Alpha Charles, had been speaking with everyone who mattered for months, yet we still had nothing. And those failures weighed heavily on those of us closest to him. I blamed myself during the first month, for not being attentive enough to realize something this serious was happening. I let him suffer alone, let him give himself up for the pack, just like I knew he always would. That was why I loved him—his willingness to do anything for the people he cared about. I never imagined that same trait would be what tore him away from me. I tried to focus on my duties as Delta, hoping work would distract me from his absence. But every time I wal

The farther we walked out of the dungeon, the faster my heart beat. I was still stuck in that loop, unable to believe we were actually free, but another worry crept in—what were we going to face once we reached the surface?I stayed at the back with Lucian, watching Damon’s back as he walked without a trace of hesitation. How was he this put together? I knew he was built different, but still.“Halt.”His voice rang out sharply, and we stopped immediately, my eyes darting to what looked like the final door. We hadn’t passed a single cell on our way out, and that alone said a lot about how mysterious this prison truly was.“If we step out of here, there’s no turning back,” he said, brows raised. “We either make it out… or we make it out.”I nodded, drawing a steady breath.“We can try to be peaceful first,” Raven called from beside him.Damon let out a slight chuckle. “We’ll see how that works out.”His hands flew to the door handle.“Ready?” he asked, his eyes sweeping over us again.L
