Semua Bab The Alpha’s Forbidden Obsession : Bab 91 - Bab 100

An hour later, we gathered in the temporary command center. Lucy, me, Hailey, Edward, and Petra."Margaret told me something while I was treating her before the arrest," Lucy began. "About the payments from Purum Sanguinem. They weren't just paying her for information.""What else?" I asked."They were paying her to do something. Something specific. She refused at first, but they threatened her son more graphically. Made it worse.""What did they want her to do?"Lucy looked at Hailey. "They wanted her to inject Hope with something. During a routine checkup. Said it was harmless. Would just make Hope sick for a few days. Make you distracted and vulnerable."The room went cold. Silent."Please tell me she didn't," Hailey whispered."She didn't. That's where she drew the line. She gave them information but refused to physically harm Hope. That's when they escalated. Started sending her more graphic threats. More explicit videos of what they'd do to her son.""Did she tell them she refus

Two weeks passed. Hope's energy returned. She could shift again, her little wolf form bounding around the rebuilt sections of pack territory. The Somna-Lux had finally left her system.But my relief was temporary. The four-month deadline loomed. Only fourteen weeks remained.I stood in the new pack house, watching construction workers hammer and drill. The building rose from ashes, stronger than before. Reinforced walls. Bulletproof windows. Safe rooms on every floor.A fortress for a child who should be playing in meadows, not hiding behind steel."Luna, we have visitors." Edward appeared at my side, his expression tense."Who?""Council representatives. Three of them. They're demanding an audience.""Tell them I'm busy.""I tried. They said they'll wait. Been sitting in the meeting hall for an hour."I sighed. Politics never took breaks, even during wars.The meeting hall was one of the few completed rooms. Simple but functional. Three people sat at the long table, their expensive s

Lucian's POVGlass rained down. I threw myself over Hailey, felt shards slice my back. Gunfire erupted. Bullets tore through walls."Down!" I shouted, pulling her behind the desk.Chen fell, blood blooming on her shoulder. She clutched the wound, gasping."The envelope," she choked out. "Take it. Go.""Not without you," Hailey said, already moving toward her."No choice. They're here for me. For the information. You have to run."More gunshots. The door burst open. Three figures in tactical gear stormed in. Professional. Military precision.I shifted mid-lunge, my wolf form tearing through clothes. Hit the first attacker hard enough to send him flying into the wall. His weapon clattered away.The second one fired. Silver bullets burned as they grazed my flank. Pain exploded but I kept moving. Had to protect Hailey. Had to give her time to escape."Go!" I roared, my wolf voice rumbling.Hailey grabbed the envelope and Chen's arm. "Come on!""I can't walk. My leg." Chen gestured down. B

Morning came too quickly. I'd barely slept, kept rehearsing the confrontation in my mind. Imagining responses. Planning reactions. Preparing for the moment everything changed.Edward met us in the command center at dawn. His face was grim, exhausted. He'd been up all night gathering evidence."I have everything," he said, spreading documents across the table. "Bank statements. Communication logs. Travel records. It's all here."I looked at the papers. At the proof of betrayal. At months of deception laid bare in black and white."Are you absolutely certain?" Lucian asked."Yes. The offshore account belongs to them. The deposits correspond with conspiracy activities. The timing is perfect. Too perfect to be coincidence.""Could someone be framing them?" I asked, still hoping for another explanation. Any explanation that didn't involve someone I trusted destroying everything."Possible but unlikely. These accounts require biometric verification. Fingerprints. Retinal scans. Voice recogn

Lucian's POVThe trial began at noon. Every pack member who could attend did. Seventy-eight people crammed into the new meeting hall. Standing room only. Everyone wanting to witness justice firsthand.Petra sat in the center, wrists bound with silver chains. Not because we thought she'd run. But because tradition demanded visible restraint. Visible consequences.Hailey stood before the crowd, her Luna authority radiating. "We're here to determine Petra's guilt and appropriate punishment. Evidence will be presented. Petra will speak. Then the pack decides. This is democracy. This is justice. This is how we remain civilized despite barbaric circumstances."She nodded to Edward. He stepped forward with documents. Photos. Testimony."Bank records show forty thousand dollars deposited into Petra's offshore account over eighteen months. The deposits correspond directly with conspiracy activities. After the mall incident, five thousand. After Hope was drugged, seven thousand. After the pack
