Todos los capítulos de The Lycan King's Second Chance Mate : Capítulo 41 - Capítulo 50

Marina's PovDamon fought the challenger at dawn.Robert was confident at first, thinking Damon's exhaustion would be his advantage. But he'd miscalculated badly.Damon was tired and hurt but still dominant, still the most dangerous wolf in the north. He ended the fight quickly and brutally, breaking Robert's neck in front of all the witnesses before most of them had even blinked.The message was clear: Don't test me. Don't assume weakness. I'm still deadly.Robert's body was sent back to his pack as a warning.That night I couldn't sleep.I'd seen too much death and violence. My mind wouldn't stop replaying images of bodies in the courtyard, of Kai bleeding, of Marcus's sword at my brother's throat.I walked the walls looking at the damage, at buildings still smoldering, at sections of wall being repaired.All these wolves died protecting me and their territory because Marcus was obsessed with revenge.A sound behind me made me turn.Alia stood there, somehow free from her locked roo

Marina's Pov"Retreat!" Damon's voice carried across the chaos. "Fall back to the inner keep!"We couldn't hold the territory. There were too many enemies pouring through the gates. Warriors pulled back in organized lines, protecting civilians as they ran for the strongest building in the territory. The inner keep was ancient stone, built to withstand sieges, defendable even against overwhelming numbers.We locked it down, barring heavy doors and positioning warriors at every entrance. Civilians huddled in the center rooms. Children cried while their parents tried to comfort them.This was our last stand.Marcus's forces surrounded the keep but didn't attack immediately. They just waited, forming a ring of bodies around us, weapons ready.Then Marcus appeared, stepping through his wolves to stand where we could see him clearly from the walls."Lycan King!" he called up. "I have a proposal!""I'm listening," Damon replied coldly."Surrender yourself and your mate to me. Do that and th

Marina's Pov"One chance," Marcus said, his thumb hovering over the button. "Come with me willingly. Be my prisoner again. And I'll call off the explosives. Spare the civilians."I looked at Kai, his face devastated, blood still dripping from his wounds.I looked at Vera, fierce and loyal, ready to fight until her last breath.I looked toward the keep where hundreds of innocents hid, children and families who'd done nothing wrong.I looked at Damon fighting across the battlefield, trying desperately to reach me.I knew what I had to do.I dropped my knife and raised my hands in surrender.Marcus smiled, his victory complete but he didn't see Kai moving behind him, silent as death.I didn't see my brother's claws extend until they pierced through Marcus's chest from behind, through ribs and muscle, wrapping around his heart.Kai ripped it out.The dead man's switch activated.The explosion rocked the entire battlefield.The inner keep erupted in flames, stone and wood bursting outward,

Marina's POVWe traveled back toward Damon's territory at a punishing pace. Kai kept up despite his healing ribs. Vera led us through paths she knew, shortcuts that saved time.I felt the mate bond growing stronger with every mile. I felt Damon's presence like a compass pulling me home.Then I smelled smoke."No," I whispered, breaking into a run.We reached a ridge overlooking the territory and my heart stopped.The territory was under siege again. But this wasn't the five Alphas. This army was massive. It was twice the size of Marcus's force, maybe eight hundred wolves surrounding Damon's walls, battering the gates, launching fire arrows into buildings.And at the front, commanding it all, stood someone I recognized from my returned memories.Alpha Thorne.My blood turned to ice."Marina?" Kai asked. "You know him?""He helped Marcus destroy Silvercrest." The memory was clear now. Sharp. "He's the one my father warned me about before he died. The rival who wanted our territory."Ve

Marina's POVDawn broke red and angry.Thorne's army attacked with the first light. A thousand wolves charging our walls, siege weapons launching fire and stone, the sound of war drums shaking the ground."Hold the line!" Damon roared from the wall.Our warriors fought desperately. The allied packs reinforced our weak points. But we were still outnumbered two to one.I watched from the inner wall, my hand on my pregnant stomach, feeling helpless.Then I remembered what Vera taught me before she died.The old Silvercrest Luna magic. Blood magic. Forbidden and dangerous but powerful."Don't use it unless you have no choice," she'd said. "It'll save your pack but the cost is high. Higher than you know."I had no choice now.I walked to the center of the courtyard, drew my knife and cut my palm deep, letting blood drip onto the earth."Marina, what are you doing?" Damon shouted from the wall.I didn't answer. Just spoke the ancient words Vera taught me. Power exploded outward.The pack
