Semua Bab The Broken Beta’s Redemption : Bab 31 - Bab 40

Sweat clung to every part of my body as I weaved through the grounds, keeping Raven and Lucian safely behind me. Damon’s energy flooded the entire area, so overwhelming that not a single soul dared to come near him. Those foolish enough to try dropped to the ground screaming, their skin burning under his power.This was the first time I truly saw how destructive Damon’s abilities were, and it left me speechless.“Keep walking and stop looking around, kid,” he yelled, briefly turning toward me. His eyes were blood red.In the next second, he grabbed a nearby guard by the throat, his energy wrapping tightly around the screaming man. He dragged the almost-limp body forward as he took bold steps, his gaze locked on Davin, who stood frozen at a distance—panic written all over his face.“Their Alpha is almost here!” Lucian shouted over the chaos.Damon seemed to hear him. He dropped the now-dead guard to the ground and turned back to us.“That’s enough playing around,” he said, reeling his

As we sat there staring at the bright moon, different thoughts flooded my mind, but above everything else was relief. Relief that we had all made it out together. My gaze drifted over everyone, soft and careful, and I couldn’t stop the small smile that formed on my lips.We stayed wrapped in silence for a long while, each of us lost in our own thoughts, trying to figure out what came next.My mind wandered back to my earlier conversation with Damon. I didn’t quite know how to explain it, but no matter how cold or intimidating he appeared, he cared—deeply. His powers were the only reason we escaped that pack so easily. They were destructive, terrifying… and effective.I had mentioned going back to my pack, going home—but even I knew it wouldn’t be easy. They might hate me now, for all I knew. Still, the thought had only crossed my mind because of Robin. If I could just see his face, even once, it would be enough to push me forward. But that wasn’t possible anymore. I couldn’t risk putt

Damon’s POV I walked into that pack with all the confidence I could muster in that moment. I knew exactly what I was doing when I whispered that I knew their secret to the Alpha. Early, I know—but that was going to be the basis of our negotiation, so it was better to put it out there at once. We didn’t come to play, and we definitely didn’t come to be threatened. This time around, we were the ones doing the threatening. I knew the others were surprised at how easy it was to get invited in, but they’d figure it out later. Their pack was as basic as I expected—just a few huts. As we walked past, people stepped out to stare at us. “They’re looking at us like we committed some grave crime when we only just got here,” Lucian said softly. “That’s how they always are,” Julian responded. “They’re always wary.” He finished just as we stopped in front of the huge hut standing in the middle of the field. “Let’s go in,” the Alpha said sharply as he walked ahead. We followed. I stretched

I woke up to light streaming in through the creaks of the hut. The warmth hitting my face soothed my skin, and I sat up, staring into nothing for a few seconds as I absorbed everything. This was what warmth felt like, the same feeling I’d been deprived of for months. I glanced beside me. Lucian was still fast asleep. I slipped out of the bed as quietly as I could and made my way outside. I flinched slightly as the sun hit me, but my eyes adjusted almost immediately. Around me, the people of the pack went about their day. Some stopped to stare, while others walked past without sparing me a glance. One thought crossed my mind as I stood there. How exactly were we supposed to sniff out the Men of Shadows? Was it even possible to get information about them from this pack? They lived hidden away, so the odds of the Men of Shadows having any ties to them were low. So where do we go from here? How were we supposed to find them? “You’ve been standing out here for close to ten minutes.”

Two days passed by in the blink of an eye, and before we knew it, it was the last day of the week. Everything was quiet in the Rold Pack, except for the occasional preparations being made to receive those special guests. We still had no idea who they were, and we’d stopped trying to find out as well. If Lucian’s information was correct, then they would be showing up today, and we would finally see who had so much power—enough to make such promises to the Alpha and get him to believe them so easily. “I really have a bad feeling about today,” Raven said as we gathered in the hut she shared with Damon. “The air around us feels like it’s carrying something unexpected,” she added, her eyes firm. “Does this have anything to do with those guests?” I asked. She sighed. “I have no way of knowing, Julian. I just think we should keep our guards up.” I nodded. “I never took my guard down for a second, so you have nothing to worry about,” Damon said calmly. “Whatever is going to happen, we’re
