All Chapters of Revenge Of The Alpha's Reborn Mate: Chapter 141 - Chapter 145

The Scorched Peaks (Lucas' POV)I climbed carefully over the unstable terrain, Jax close behind me."Remind me again why we're risking our lives in literal hell?" Jax called out, voice strained from the heat."Dragon's blood trees grow near lava flows," I explained, scanning the horizon for the distinctive twisted trunks. "The resin hardens in extreme heat. We need fresh sap before it crystallizes completely.""Right. Fresh sap. From trees that grow next to molten rock. This is a completely reasonable thing to do."Despite the danger and the weight of guilt about leaving Isabella behind, I almost smiled at Jax's sarcasm."You didn't have to come.""Yes I did. Someone needs to drag your body back when you inevitably do something stupid and heroic."We climbed higher, the temperature increasing with every step.My wolf was restless, unhappy with the heat and the distance from Isabella. The mate bond pulled at me constantly, a reminder of what I'd left behind.She'd woken to find me gone

The Confrontation (Isabella's POV)I was waiting in the main hall when Lucas finally returned.Five days. Five days of vague messages, non-answers, and feeling through the mate bond that he was in danger.One look at him told me everything I needed to know.He was pale. Moving stiffly like every step hurt. Trying to hide it but failing.Clearly hurt."What happened?" My voice came out dangerously quiet.Lucas tried to smile. That warm, reassuring smile that usually made my anger melt.Not this time."Nothing serious. Just a supply run that took longer than expected.""A supply run.""Yes.""That left you looking half-dead.""I'm fine, Isabella. Just tired from travel."He was lying. I could feel it through the mate bond, the exhaustion, and the pain.Jax appeared from the hallway behind Lucas, carrying supplies.He saw me, saw my expression, and immediately looked guilty."Jax."
