Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Last Of Her Pack: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

Eryx POVI watched her, Rachael, the heat burning across her cheeks, the flush deepening until her skin glowed. A smirk crept over my face despite the tension coiling in my chest. For a moment, I forgot my own awkwardness. She had that effect on me, the power to make me want to drop every wall I’d built around myself.“I’d like to lay down now… I feel worn out,” she murmured, her voice soft tinged with exhaustion and something I couldn’t name.I nodded, silently agreeing. She slid herself onto the bed with deliberate care, her movements slow, almost tentative and I let her. I sat silently, careful not to crowd her and when she tugged the blanket over herself, I mirrored the motion, covering her from the chill lingering in the air. My eyes stayed on her, tracing every detail, the way her chest rose and fell, the subtle twitch of her fingers as she adjusted beneath the covers.She caught my gaze a few times, her own eyes curious, hesitant and it was almost… intimate. Dangerous, yet inti

Rachael POVEryx brushed a soft kiss on top of my head before heading for the door. I watched him disappear into the hallway, the echo of his words lingering long after he’d gone.“I’ll keep you safe, even if it costs me my life.”Those words wouldn’t leave me alone. They circled my mind over and over again, refusing to fade. Did he truly mean them? Or was he just trying to comfort me, trying to make this strange situation feel less terrifying? I wanted to believe he meant it. Something in his tone had felt… serious, weighed down with a promise he wasn’t making lightly. It didn’t feel like flattery. It felt real.I sank onto the edge of the bed, fingers fumbling with themselves. The silence in the room was thick, too thick. My stomach clenched, reminding me I needed to eat properly. I was trying to ignore it when the door swung open again.Eryx stepped inside, balancing a tray filled to the brim with food.My mouth instantly watered. Before I could stop myself, I jumped to my feet.He

Lincoln POVI moved through the forest with Eryx’s men, every step measured and deliberate. The trees were dense here, their trunks like silent sentinels, and the scent of pine and damp earth filled my senses. I sniffed the air repeatedly, trying to catch even the faintest hint of movement. The forest was alive with subtle sounds, the snap of a twig underfoot, leaves rustling in the wind, the distant call of a bird. Every sound felt amplified, every shadow seemed to twitch with hidden life.“You head to the northwest,” I ordered, pointing to a narrow path barely visible among the thick trees. Four of the guards nodded sharply. “Yes, Gamma,” they chorused, and they disappeared down the trail, their movements quick and efficient.“You, southwest,” I said to another group, and they went off without question. Their footsteps faded into the distance as they scouted the other side of the forest.The rest of us pressed forward, deeper into the woods. I kept my senses alert, sniffing the air,

Athena POVI kept my body low, every muscle drawn tight as I watched the forest through narrowed eyes. The trees were quiet now, but I had heard them earlier, three, maybe four men crashing through the underbrush, weapons and heavy boots disturbing the soil. They weren’t hunting prey. They were hunting something.And I knew exactly what.I had masked my scent the moment the first twig snapped behind me. I’d used mud, crushed leaves, even the stale moss under the fallen log I had hidden beneath. I stayed still for what felt like a full hour, barely breathing, letting their footsteps fade until only the wind remained.I could not be caught.I must never be caught.But the world had shifted overnight. I’d heard whispers, half formed rumors carried by and foolish wolves. A young woman had been found in the most powerful pack in the region. And the alpha, their feared leader, had announced publicly that she was his mate.A female. Alive. Protected. Announced.My chest tightened around the

Lincoln POVI didn’t expect her to flinch away from me the second I stepped closer. The female’s entire body tensed, like she was ready to bolt if she had the strength. I paused, taken aback, then glanced at Eryx. He didn’t say anything, just stood there, silent and unreadable, watching her with that hard expression he always wore around strangers.“Easy, female,” I said quietly, lifting the cup of water toward her so she could see it was nothing harmful. She hesitated, staring at me with wide, blank eyes, then finally reached out and took it. Her hands trembled, but she drank.Something about her pulled at me. Maybe it was the way she looked so lost. Maybe the strength it took for her to sit there and keep breathing. I didn’t know. I only knew I liked her already, and I secretly hoped, maybe foolishly that she’d grow to like me back.“What’s your name?” I asked, keeping my voice soft.“Athena,” she said. She didn’t look directly at me again, she just kept eating, sneaking small side
