บททั้งหมดของ On Your Kneels, Alpha Chase : บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Elena*****Crescent Valley Fortress — War Hall, Minutes After the Shadows Vanished*****The hall was still buzzing with fear. Warriors whispered among themselves, some shaking, others pacing, trying to understand what had just attacked us. The lights flickered one more time before stabilizing, but the air felt different now, heavier, colder, like the shadows had left a stain no one could wash away.Chase was still half-shifted, claws digging into the cracked floor, chest rising and falling too fast. Lucian stood tall in front of everyone, power fading slowly from his hands, but his eyes still sharp enough to cut steel. The council hovered at the back of the hall, pale and speechless.But the twins…They were calm again.Fia clung to my waist, breathing slowly. Finn watched the dark corners of the hall like he was expecting someone to step out again.No one moved.No one spoke.They were all waiting.Waiting for someone to take control.Waiting for someone to tell them the world wasn’t

Elena*****Crescent Valley Fortress — War Hall, Minutes After the Attack*****The fortress was still shaking when I stepped back into the war hall. Pieces of shadow dust clung to the walls, and the scent of burnt magic hung in the air. Warriors lined the perimeter, shaken, bruised, some bleeding, but all alive.For now.Chase and Lucian walked on either side of me, silent, tense. The twins were safe in the guarded chamber behind us, watched by a full squad of elite warriors. But the dread in my stomach didn’t care about safety. It cared about what I had felt in that hallway……the shadows weren’t testing us. They were measuring us.The moment I stepped into the center of the war hall, every Alpha from every visiting kingdom turned toward me. Conversations died. The room went dead quiet.Their eyes scanned my face… then my hands… then the faint silver light still flickering under my skin.I heard someone whisper:“That… wasn’t normal wolf magic.”Another voice:“That power….did anyone s

Elena*****Silverfang Council Hall — Moments After “Let’s begin”*****The entire council froze when the words left my mouth.No one sat.No one breathed.No one dared move.It was the same room where I was rejected years ago… but the fear was no longer mine.It belonged to them.Chase adjusted his stance subtly beside me, clearing his throat as if preparing to address the council. Lucian remained still behind me, watching every corner of the room like he expected someone to jump out.But before Chase could speak, the heavy doors behind us slammed open so hard they shook the walls.Seraphina marched in.Her hair was tangled like she hadn’t slept for days.Her eyes were bloodshot.Her breathing unsteady.She looked nothing like the “perfect Luna” she once acted like.“NO!” she screamed, pointing a shaking finger at me.“WE ARE NOT DOING THIS! WE ARE NOT LETTING HER TAKE OVER AGAIN!”The council members jumped. A few wolves flinched. One old counselor dropped his pen.I turned slowly to

Elena*****Silverfang Pack Grounds — The Morning After the Trial*****The air felt different when I stepped outside the council hall. Maybe it was because the night had finally quieted, or maybe because my entire world had shifted again after everything exposed in that room.Chase’s last words still echoed in my head: “You were never the problem. I was.”I didn’t want those words to mean anything to me.I didn’t want my heart to react.But it did.Lucian walked beside me, silent, but tense enough that his presence felt like a shield. He always stayed close after chaotic nights like this, watching for threats I didn’t even consider.“Are you alright?” he asked eventually.“I’m fine.”“Liar.”I sighed. “I don’t want to talk about Chase.”“Good,” Lucian muttered. “Because every time I hear his name, I feel a headache coming.”I almost laughed.Almost.But then a voice pierced the cold morning air, small, bright, familiar.“Mom!”Finn came running toward me, his little legs pumping as fa

Elena*****Guest House Corridor — Hours later*****The hallway was dim and quiet, lit only by the amber glow of lanterns hanging on each wooden pillar. The twins had finally fallen asleep in the next room after hours of chaos, laughter, and Lucian’s unending grumbling.Lucian stood a few feet away from me, arms crossed, leaning on the wall like he owned the entire building. His eyes were hardened, still sharp with the irritation Chase had caused him all evening.Chase lingered on the opposite end of the corridor, trying not to look threatening, trying not to step too close. His shoulders were tense, his expression pulled into that same complicated look I’d seen forming all night, regret, longing, fear, restraint.The silence between the three of us was too tight. One wrong breath and someone would explode.I stepped forward first, running a hand through my hair. “Let’s just… get some rest. Tomorrow will be worse if we start the day with this same tension.”“Tomorrow will be worse,” Lu
