บททั้งหมดของ Burned by My Ex, Reborn as His King's Mate : บทที่ 81 - บทที่ 90

KAELOSThis dilemma frustrated me. Waiting for concrete evidence meant giving Darius more time to strengthen his position, but acting too quickly could make me look like a paranoid tyrant.“How much time do we have, in your opinion?”“At the current rate of recruitment? Maybe two months before he has enough strength to make a serious move. But that's if he doesn't get outside help.”“Outside help?”Archer pulled out satellite photos. “There are reports of unusual movements from neighboring packs. Nothing concrete, but... the patterns suggest possible coordination.”I studied the photos carefully. There was indeed something unusual—too much movement for normal activity, too coordinated to be a coincidence.“Send a reconnaissance team to the border,” I decided. “I want to know exactly what's happening out there. And make sure the team consists of people whose loyalty we've verified.”“I'll do it immediately.”As Archer was about to leave, I called him back. “One more thing. Don't tell a

SERAPHINAAfter everyone dispersed, Elena approached me with a proud smile. “You handled that very well, Seraphina. I'm not sure I could have done as well.”“I just... did what felt right,” I replied with a sigh of relief. Adrenaline was still coursing through my veins.“That's the mark of a good leader. Good instincts.”That afternoon, I met with three other pack members who had various problems—a single mother who was struggling to take care of her child while working, a teenager who was struggling with online gaming addiction, and an elderly person who felt isolated from the community.For the single mother, I set up a co-parenting system with several other pack members who had children of the same age. For the teenager, I connected him with a mentorship program with one of the young warriors who could be a positive role model. For the elderly man, I arranged regular visits and invited him to join a craft group for seniors.Every problem had a different solution, and I found that I

CALLISTAKaelos looked at me with an expression I couldn't quite read. I knew I was pushing sensitive buttons, but I couldn't back down now.“Look at Seraphina,” I said in a calmer tone. "She's not from our pack, but she came and took an active role as Luna. She's not just a passive companion—she resolves conflicts, makes decisions, leads in her own way. And you know what? The pack accepted her. They respected her.“”Seraphina is a special case—“”Why is she special? Because she's Luna-in-training?“ I shook my head. ”No, Kaelos. She's special because she refused to be limited by traditional expectations. And that's what I want to do, too."Kaelos sighed deeply, stood up from his chair, and walked to the large window overlooking the pack's territory. He stood there for a long time, and I could see his shoulders tense.“You said you're not weak,” he said without turning around. “But you're my sister, Callista. The only close family I have since our parents died. If something happens to

Author’s POVThe words hung in the air, heavy and full of implication.“A mate who immediately judges and belittles me,” Callista replied bitterly. “Great. Just what I imagined.”“I'm not belittling you—”“You just did! You said I shouldn't be here, that my posture is wrong, that I'm inexperienced—”“Because it's a fact!” Alex cut in, his voice rising slightly. “I'm just telling the truth. If you can't accept it, maybe you're not ready to be on the frontier.”Callista stared at him with narrowed eyes, anger coursing through her veins. Her mate. Fate had given her this arrogant, rigid, judgmental mate as her life partner.“You know what?” she said coldly. “Maybe fate made a mistake. Because I can't imagine spending my life with someone as cold and boring as you.”Alex's expression hardened. "Boring? I'm realistic. I prioritize safety and discipline. If that makes me boring in your eyes, maybe you're just too reckless and immature to appreciate real responsibility.“”Reckless? Immature?

CALLISTAI stared at my brother in frustration. “So you're on his side?”“I'm on the side of your happiness,” he replied. “And like it or not, your happiness is tied to Alex now. Whether you like it or not.”The words hung in the air, heavy with undeniable truth.“When does he want to come?” I finally asked, my voice tired.“Tomorrow afternoon. If you agree.”I closed my eyes, feeling the wolf inside me howl with joy at the news. He wanted to see our mate again, wanted to feel her presence, wanted to mend the broken relationship.But my pride—my pride was still wounded.“Fine,” I said finally. “But if he starts judging me again, I'm leaving. I don't care about protocol or manners.”Kaelos smiled thinly. “That's understandable.”That afternoon, after an exhausting training session with Archer, I sat in my room, trying to calm my chaotic thoughts. But just as I was starting to relax a little, there was a knock on my door.“Come in,” I said.Elena entered with a serious expression. “Call
