บททั้งหมดของ Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate : บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

SERAPHINAAs he pushed me toward what he thought was a trap, I was actually directing him to a position I had planned. There was a large rock at the edge of the training field, perfectly positioned for what I had in mind.As Harrison made his final attack, intending to pin me against the large rock, I waited until the last second before jumping straight up, using the large rock as a springboard to launch myself high into the air. Harrison, already committed to his attack, couldn't stop his momentum and slammed into the rock with terrible force.I landed on his back, my claws digging into his fur, my teeth at the base of his neck where I could press on vital nerves without causing permanent damage.“Surrender,” I said, my words coming out as a mixture of human speech and wolf growls.For a moment, Harrison struggled, testing my grip. But I held firm, applying just enough pressure to show that I could incapacitate him if necessary. Slowly, his resistance ceased.“I surrender,” he said,

SERAPHINA“Luna Seraphina, there are three families who need help with winter food distribution, two property disputes that need to be resolved before the next Council meeting, and Mrs. Henderson wants to discuss the education program for pups.”I stared at the long list Elder Beatrice had given me, feeling a familiar flutter of overwhelming responsibility. Three weeks had passed since I was officially accepted as Luna-in-training, and every day brought new challenges I had never imagined before.“And don't forget,” Elder Beatrice added with a smile that somehow managed to be both encouraging and slightly sadistic, “today is the first time you'll handle a Pack Council meeting without direct supervision.”My stomach dropped. “Without supervision?”“Kaelos will be there, of course, but as Alpha, not as your backup. You need to prove that you can handle Luna responsibilities independently.”I nodded, trying to project confidence I didn't entirely feel. Three weeks of intensive training h

SERAPHINA“The benefits,” I continued, “include resolving disputes without creating winners and losers, providing a community space for Pack members to grow food and gather, and setting a precedent for handling future boundary disputes.”“Cost?” asked Beta Archer.“About $5,000 from the Pack’s reserve fund, plus minimal ongoing maintenance costs.”Elder Morgana nodded slowly. “A creative solution. What do the families think of this proposal?”“Both have agreed tentatively, pending Council approval.”“I support Luna’s recommendation,” Elder Beatrice said immediately.“Me too,” added Elder Marcus.A unanimous vote. My first major decision as Luna in training, and it had been approved without major controversy. A sense of relief washed over me.The third item was a request for increased funding for the children's education program.“Mrs. Henderson proposes expanding the current curriculum to include practical skills training and leadership development,” I explained. “The cost would incre

DARIUSAll because of Seraphina.If she hadn't left me... if she could understand that what I was doing was for our mutual good... if she wasn't so stubborn and idealistic...The headlights of an oncoming truck suddenly blinded me. I realized I had turned onto the wrong lane, but it was too late to turn back.The last thing I remember is the sound of metal colliding and excruciating pain.Then... darkness.TodayI opened my eyes in a hospital bed, my head throbbing and my body feeling like it had been shattered and put back together. But the strangest thing was... I remembered everything.Not just the accident, but also... the other things.Previous lives. Previous lives.Like a movie playing in my mind, I could see fragments of other lives. A soldier in a civil war three centuries ago. A merchant who traveled between wolf territories in the 18th century. A scholar who studied ancient magic in a life even longer ago.And in each of those lives, one thing remained the same.Seraphina.

DARIUSTwo months had passed since I left the hospital, and the progress I had made exceeded even my enemies' worst expectations.I stood atop a remote hill that I had made my operational headquarters—a neutral territory strategically located between three Pack territories, including Nightveil. From here, I can monitor movements and activities without being detected.“Alpha,” said a voice behind me.I turned to see Reed, the former Beta of the Silverpine Pack whom I recruited three weeks ago. He is now my deputy and one of my most important assets.“Report,” I said briefly.“Twelve wolves have been confirmed to join us,” he said, checking the notes in his hand. "Three from Silverpine, four from Ironwood, two from Redmoon, and three wild wolves with the skills we need.”Twelve. A good start, but I need more.“Quality?” I asked.“Mixed, but promising. The Silverpine wolves are all dissatisfied with the current leadership—they feel unappreciated since the new Alpha took over. The Ironwo
