Semua Bab The Alpha’s Rejected Mate Reborn: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Violet's POVThe library was quiet except for the sound of pages turning.I had been at this for hours. Searching through old texts, cross-referencing witch genealogies, looking for anything that might confirm my theory about Lila.Half-wolves were rare. Most witch communities shunned them. Considered them abominations. Impure.But that didn't mean they didn't exist.I flipped another page, my eyes scanning the faded text. Then I stopped.There.A passage about bloodline concealment. Methods half-bloods used to hide their dual nature.I read it twice, my pulse quickening.This was it. This was the proof I needed.I grabbed the book and headed straight for Ethan's office.When I arrived, I found all three of them already there. Ethan sat behind his desk, Sophia beside him, and Max leaned against the wall near the window.Max's eyes found mine immediately. I looked away."I found something," I announced, striding forward and dropping the book onto Ethan's desk.Ethan looked up. "What is

Lila's POVThe forest was dark and cold as I made my way through the twisted trees.I'd been walking for hours, following the old paths only witches knew and paths hidden from wolves and humans alike.My feet ached, my dress was still torn from my escape, but I didn't stop.I couldn't stop at this moment.Not until I reached them.Finally, I saw it. The clearing, the stone circle that marked the entrance to the witch sanctuary.I stepped through and immediately felt the shift in the air. Magic, it was thick and ancient.The coven was waiting.They stood in a semi-circle, their faces shadowed by hoods. But I could feel their anger radiating toward me like heat from a fire.I stopped in the center of the circle and lifted my chin."Sisters," I said."Failure." The voice came from the eldest witch, Morgana. She stepped forward, her dark eyes burning with fury. "You were sent to complete a mission. A sacred mission. And you failed.""The substance you gave me didn't work properly," I shot

Marcus's POVI stood at the window of my office, watching Sophia's car disappear down the road.She came. She actually came to invite me personally.A smile tugged at my lips. This was good. Better than good.After everything that happened, after the divorce, after Lila's exposure and death, Sophia still reached out to me. That had to mean something.Maybe she was finally seeing sense. Finally realizing that Ethan wasn't the right choice for her.I turned away from the window and walked to my desk, picking up the invitation she'd left.The paper was elegant. Expensive. Just like everything Sophia did now.My Sophia.No. Not mine anymore. But she could be again.I sat down heavily in my chair, the weight of everything pressing down on me.The pack was falling apart. Businesses were failing left and right. Trade partners were dropping contracts. Money was bleeding out faster than I could stop it.All because of Lila.That witch.Anger surged through me at the thought of her. How she'd p

Lila's POVI stared at my reflection in the still water of the lake.Unrecognizable.My black hair was gone. Replaced by soft golden blonde that fell in waves past my shoulders. My violet eyes, the ones that always gave me away, were now a warm hazel brown. Even my face looked different. Softer. More innocent.The transformation spell had worked perfectly.I ran my fingers through the blonde hair. It felt real. Looked real. Because it was real. Dark magic didn't create illusions. It changed reality itself.No one would recognize me now. Not Marcus. Not Sophia. Not that insufferable blue-haired witch Violet.I was someone new.Someone harmless.Someone they'd never suspect.I stood up from the water's edge and smoothed down the simple cream-colored dress I'd stolen from a merchant's cart two days ago. Gone were the elegant gowns of a Luna. Gone was the carefully crafted image of Lila Shadowvale.Now I was just a traveler. A lost wolf seeking refuge.Perfect.I'd spent the last week hid

Sophia's POVThe exhibition was three days away.Three days until everything I'd worked for would finally come together. Three days until I could expose Lila and Marcus once and for all.I stood in the main hall of the gallery space Ethan had secured for me in the heart of the city. It was perfect. High ceilings. White walls. Massive windows that let in natural light.Workers moved around me, hanging lights, arranging display cases, setting up the stage where I'd present my designs."The lighting needs to be brighter on the left side," I called out to one of the technicians. "I want every detail of the jewelry to be visible.""Yes, ma'am."I walked through the space, checking every detail. The placement of each display case. The angle of each light. The flow of the room.Everything had to be perfect.Because this wasn't just about showcasing my designs. This was about setting a trap."You're obsessing again," Zyra said in my head."I need everything to be right," I replied silently."
