บททั้งหมดของ Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By The Alpha Twins: บทที่ 131 - บทที่ 140

Roland’s POVMorning had barely settled over the mansion when my secretary entered the study with a look on her face that I had learned to take. She wasn't scared or flustered. Her usual confidence was replaced by a careful restraint like she understood that the paper in her hands had big consequences."Alpha Roland " she said handing me a sealed envelope "This came directly from the High Council. They wanted you to get it first."I took the envelope without saying anything and the council seal made my jaw tighten. Emergency notices usually didn't arrive without warning and after everything that happened with Serena, I doubted this one was about business."Did they say what it's about?" I asked.She shook her head."No Alpha. They just said everyone named on it has to show up."The phrase "every individual named" stuck in my head long after she left.The study got really quiet.I carefully broke the seal. Unfolded the document inside. My eyes scanned the page quickly until one line st

Selena’s POVThe council chamber felt really different today. Usually people gather here to talk about issues or solve problems between different groups. Today everyone came to see if a truth that has been hidden for a long time could finally be out in the open.The senior elders sat in a curve of high-backed seats under the pack crest. The visiting Alphas and council members from groups sat in the outer rows being very quiet and respectful. Nobody spoke loudly. You could feel the tension in the room because everyone knew that what happened here would affect a lot of people.Kai walked in with Kian carrying a leather case with a lot of evidence. They both looked calm. Everyone's eyes were on them. I followed them remembering that this was not about me or my own problems. Today was about the people who're not here to speak for themselves.One of the council attendants came up to us. "Alpha Kai," he said respectfully "the council has agreed to your request. You will get to speak when

Kai’s POVThe silence in the council chamber was like a fog. It had been a while since Kian had spoken and now everyone was waiting to see what would happen next. Even though no one had said it out loud it was clear that the hearing had changed. The elders were not asking questions like they used to. They were not trying to figure out if there was proof to keep going. Every answer and every silence had slowly shown them the thing.The High Elder put his hands on the table. Looked at Lady Eleanor again.“Lady Eleanor," he said in a voice "the council has given you every chance to say something about the documents the money records, the things people said, and the travel logs. Before we go on we need to ask you something ”His voice was calm. You could tell he was in charge.“What was the reason for your meetings with Mr. Roberts?" he asked.Lady Eleanor did not move for a time. The chamber was very quiet waiting for her to say something. When she finally looked up she did not seem as

Selena’s POVWhen I left Kai under the oak tree I didn’t go straight back to the council chamber. My mind was still on what he had told me. The truth he shared wasn’t his problem. He spoke like a brother remembering his childhood. Every memory he shared belonged to Kian too. I felt sure about it. I couldn’t explain why. I knew that if we didn’t talk about it it could create distance between us.I found Kian where I thought he’d be.He stood alone by a balcony overlooking the inner courtyard. The voices from the council chambers were distant echoes. His white cane rested against the stone railing. He seemed to know where he was even without it. He stood still listening to the world around him.Before I could say anything a small smile appeared on his face.“You walk quietly when you’re worried," he said, turning his head toward me. "Most people get louder when they’re anxious.”I smiled, even though a lot had happened that day.“I didn’t realize you could tell.”“I can tell " he said s

Kai’s POVThe council room was quiet again by the time we went inside. The atmosphere had changed. Nobody needed to talk about it. The older men did not look like they were discussing a case that was closed because every paper we found made them realize they did not understand everything. I was holding a leather folder under my arm. Even though it was not heavy it felt like it could change the history of our whole group.The oldest man sat down in his chair. Looked at me. "Alpha Price," he said, "you can give us information. Go ahead."I nodded my head to show respect then I walked to the middle of the room. "Thank you," I said.The room was quiet again. I knew everyone understood that if someone interrupted it would make what I was about to say less important. The silence was not empty it was full of expectation and a little fear."I thought," I started, trying to keep my voice steady "that we were done looking into Ellen Price's death.. When we were going through the papers we found
