Alpha Step Daddy : Four Mates, One heart의 모든 챕터: 챕터 31 - 챕터 40

RAVENFive days before the gathering, Dominic came to me with a file folder that looked like it had been through a war."I found something," he said, spreading documents across the kitchen table. It was 2 AM, and we were alone—Jax on perimeter patrol, Theo asleep upstairs, Mom visiting a friend in town. "Morrison's been busy."I studied the papers, bank statements, transfer records, signed agreements. "What am I looking at?""Proof that Morrison has been embezzling from his own pack for years. Skimming funds meant for pack housing, medical care, even the orphan fund." Dominic pointed to specific transactions. "He's got millions stashed in offshore accounts.""How did you get these?""I have contacts. People who owe me favors." He didn't elaborate, and I didn't push. "But here's the interesting part, he's been using that money to pay off other Alphas. Bribes, essentially. Vote against you, get a cash payment."My blood ran cold. "He's buying votes?""At least six that I can confirm. Ma

RAVENThe compound transformed overnight into something resembling a military base. Wolves arrived in waves—members of Rodriguez's pack, Reeves's fighters, Zhou's strategists. By Thursday evening, we had over seventy wolves camped on Iron Howlers territory, all preparing for tomorrow's gathering.The energy was electric, terrifying, exhilarating.I stood on the compound's main steps watching them train in the courtyard, combat drills, formation practice, coordinated attacks. Preparing for a fight we all hoped wouldn't happen but knew probably would."You should be resting," Mom said, appearing beside me with two cups of tea. "Tomorrow's going to be brutal.""I can't rest. Every time I close my eyes, I see everything that could go wrong." I accepted the tea gratefully. "What if Katherine freezes when it's time to testify? What if Morrison's evidence contradicts ours? What if his fifty wolves actually attack and people die because I—""Stop." Mom gripped my shoulder. "You're doing what

RAVENThree months after the gathering, life found a rhythm I never expected.School ended with graduation—me walking across the stage in cap and gown while three impossibly proud mates cheered from the audience. The human students thought I was dating Theo. The supernatural ones knew the truth and mostly pretended not to care.Mostly.The pack reforms moved forward slowly but steadily. Elections for the new Alpha Council happened territory by territory. Twelve representatives chosen democratically, replacing the old Council's absolute power. Magdalene stayed on as historical advisor, her cancer progressing but her mind sharp as ever."You're doing well," she told me during one of our weekly meetings. "Better than your father did at your age.""I have help." I gestured to where Dominic, Jax, and Theo sat reviewing territory dispute files. "He tried to do everything alone.""He had three mates too." Magdalene's smile was sad. "But he rejected two of them to appease the Council. Thought

RAVEN The emergency Council session was called for eight AM. By seven, the compound was chaos—wolves arriving from across territories, Alphas demanding to know what was happening, reporters from supernatural news networks setting up cameras. This wasn't just a trial. It was a theater. And everyone wanted front-row seats. "You ready for this?" Dominic asked as I dressed in formal pack attire—black suit, silver wolf insignia, the visual representation of Alpha Supreme authority. "No. But I'm doing it anyway." I straightened my collar. "Where's Tobias?" "Under guard in the meeting hall. Magdalene is with him." Jax appeared in the doorway. "She's pissed, by the way. Says you should have consulted her before calling this session." "She would have told me to wait. Gather more evidence. Build a stronger case." I grabbed Chen's files. "We don't have time for that." "She's not wrong though," Theo said quietly. His seer eyes were distant, troubled. "My visions are split. Half show you win

RAVENThe Winter Gathering hall was magnificent—three-story glass structure built around an indoor ice rink, because apparently supernatural politics required dramatic venues. Hundreds of wolves filled the space, Alphas and their entourages mingling before the ceremony began.I felt the tension immediately. Too many eyes tracking our movement. Too many wolves positioned near exits. Morrison's supporters were here, scattered through the crowd like landmines waiting to detonate."Second floor, northwest corner," Jax murmured in my ear. "Three wolves, all carrying concealed weapons.""East side, by the ice," Theo added. "Five more. They're nervous. Amateur nervous.""They're decoys," I realized. "Drawing our attention while the real threat—"Explosion.The blast came from below us, from the ice rink itself. Not massive—controlled, calculated. Enough to crack the ice and send wolves scrambling, but not enough to bring down the building.Yet."It's starting," Dominic grabbed my arm. "We ne
