Все главы On Your Kneels, Alpha Chase : Глава 81 - Глава 90

Chase*****Early Evening — The Restored Palace of Silverfang*****The first thing I remembered was dying.Not vaguely.Not like a fading dream.I remembered it clearly.I remembered Elena’s hands shaking against my chest.I remembered the blood.I remembered the curse tearing through me like fire.I remembered the way her voice broke when she begged me to stay.And then… darkness.Not sleep.Not peace.Nothing.Now, standing in the wide glass hall of the restored Silverfang palace, I leaned against one of the marble pillars and let those memories crash into me again.“I really died,” I muttered.Lucian stood across from me, arms crossed, looking like he was waiting for me to do something stupid.“You didn’t just die,” he said flatly. “You made a dramatic, self-sacrificing mess of it. Very annoying.”I glanced at him. “You were upset.”“I was irritated,” he corrected. “Big difference.”I ran a hand through my hair, breathing slowly. The palace smelled new, stone, wood, and something wa

Elena*****Early Morning — The Grand Council Hall of New Silverfang*****Sunlight spilled through the massive crystal dome above the council hall, turning the white stone floors into sheets of gold. Where broken pillars and bloodstained rubble had once stood, there were now long tables, banners of every pack, and raised platforms for leaders from across the territories.New Silverfang was no longer a ruin.It was the heart of the world.I stood at the center of it, wearing a dark silver gown lined with the crest of every allied pack. Chase was beside me, tall and steady in his Alpha armor. The twins stood in front of us, Finn in a black formal coat with the royal crest stitched into the shoulder, Fia in a simple blue dress that hid more power than any weapon ever could.And behind them, leaning lazily against a stone pillar like he owned the building…Lucian.He looked bored. Dangerous. And completely uninterested in the fact that every single alpha in the world was currently terrifi

Elena*****Early Evening — The Grand Sanctuary of New Silverfang*****New Silverfang no longer looked like a place that had survived a war.The ruins were gone.In their place stood the Grand Sanctuary, a vast circular hall built where the old council grounds once were. White stone walls rose high, carved with symbols of every race that had bled in this war: wolves, humans, rogues, royals. No single crest stood above the others.They were woven together, side by side, impossible to separate.Torches lined the walls, their flames steady and calm. Outside, the evening sky glowed gold and violet as the sun sank slowly, like it was taking its time, unwilling to miss what came next.The air felt… different.Not heavy.Not tense.Expectant.I stood at the center of the hall alone.For the first time since this war began, I wasn’t standing beside Chase as his shield or his anchor.Tonight, this wasn’t about him.It was about what the world had chosen.The low murmur of voices filled the sanc

Elena*****Late Night — The Moon Gardens of New Silverfang*****I didn’t know Chase was acting strange at first.That was the thing about peace, it made you careless.You stopped watching every movement like it might be the start of another war. You stopped bracing yourself for loss.So when Chase kept glancing at the sky, then at me, then at his hands like they didn’t belong to him, I thought he was just overwhelmed.We were walking through the Moon Gardens, a new place, built where the old execution grounds used to be.That alone still made my chest ache.The gardens stretched wide beneath the open night sky, silver-white flowers glowing faintly under the moon.Water ran through shallow channels carved into stone, reflecting lantern light and stars. No guards. No walls. Just open paths and quiet laughter drifting in from the city beyond.“This place still feels unreal,” I murmured.Chase nodded too quickly. “Yeah. Unreal.”He stopped walking.I took two more steps before I realized

Elena*****Late Morning — The Great Hall of New Silverfang*****New Silverfang no longer smelled like smoke and blood.It smelled like fresh stone, pinewood beams, and the faint trace of morning rain that had washed the courtyard clean before dawn. Sunlight poured through tall arched windows, striking banners that hadn’t existed a year ago, silver and deep blue, stitched with symbols of unity instead of dominance.I stood at the edge of the Great Hall, calm in a way I once thought impossible.This place didn’t feel foreign anymore.It felt earned.The hall was already full. Alphas, Betas, pack leaders, rogues, elders, and even humans sat together without chains or barriers. No one stood higher than another. No cages. No raised execution platform. Only a single stone dais at the center, wide and level, built so that no one towered above the rest.Today wasn’t about power.It was about legacy.Chase stood beside me, dressed in ceremonial black, silver threading marking his rank. He loo
