Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Rogue King's Silver Wolf : Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

SERAThe tree exploded, I stared at my hands, silver light still popping around my fingers. Three weeks ago, I'd destroyed a tree by accident, lost in panic and fear. Today, I'd done it on purpose, with control."Better," Kade said from behind me. "Much better."I turned to face him, unable to hide my smile. "I actually controlled it, I meant to do that.""I noticed." His lips twitched in what might have been pride. "Again, this time, just the branches, leave the trunk standing."I focused on the next tree, feeling the power coil inside me like a living thing. Before, it had felt wild, dangerous, like trying to hold lightning. Now, after weeks of training, I understood it better. It wasn't something to fight or fear, It was part of me.I released the power in a controlled burst. Silver light shot forward, shearing off branches cleanly while leaving the trunk untouched, perfect."Excellent." Kade moved closer, examining my work. "Your control has improved dramatically, a month ago, you

KADEI watched Thorne's retreating figure disappear into the forest. Even from this distance, I could see the change in him.Just talking to Sera had done that, given him hope.My wolf snarled at the thought."He looks better than when he came," Sera observed beside me, her voice neutral.I grunted, she was right. The broken, desperate Alpha who'd arrived was gone. In his place was someone who believed he still had a chance."He's going to come back," I said flatly."I know."Thorne turned back one last time, his voice echoed across the distance."I'm not giving up, Sera! I'll prove I've changed, I'll prove I'm worthy of you!"Then he was gone.Silence fell between us. My hands clenched into fists, my wolf still prowling beneath my skin, agitated by another Alpha's presence on my territory.But she'd sent him away.“I like where I am”, she'd said.The memory eased some of the tension in my chest."He really thinks he can fix this," Sera said quietly, staring at the spot where Thorne h

KADE"If they attack from the east, we're vulnerable here." Marcus pointed to the map spread on the table, "We need more archers."I studied the marked positions, calculating angles and distances. "We don't have enough skilled archers, most of our fighters are combat specialists.""Then we'll train them fast."It was past midnight, we'd been reviewing defensive strategies for hours, making adjustments, preparing for every possible scenario. The compound had transformed over the past few days, walls reinforced, weapons distributed, patrol routes established.We were as ready as we could be but would it be enough against an army three times our size?"Take a break," I told Marcus. "You're not thinking clearly anymore.""Neither are you." He leaned back in his chair studying me, "You keep looking at that window."I didn't deny it. From here, I could see across the compound to where Sera's room was located."She's resting," I said, "like I told her to.""Good, she'll need her strength." M

SERAThe scouts returned within two hours."Seven guards," the lead scout reported, spreading a hurriedly drawn map on the table. "Vivian is inside, on the second floor. We spotted your sister through a window, alive but restrained.""Entrances?" Kade asked."Front door, loading dock at the back, side window on the first floor." The scout pointed to each location. "Guards are positioned here, here, and here, two at the front, three at the back, two patrolling inside.""Seven guards and Vivian," Marcus said. "Against how many of us?""Doesn't matter," I said, standing. "I'm going in.""Sera..""We're going now Kade." I looked at him, and he nodded."Fine, here's the plan." "Sera goes in and draws attention, Marcus, you take four fighters through the back during the chaos, get to Lila and rescue her.""And Vivian?" I asked."She's yours," Kade said simply. "Do what you need to do."Minutes later, we were moving through the forest toward the warehouse. My power eager and ready. I'd spent

SERAI didn't know who moved first, one moment we were standing, foreheads pressed together, breathing the same air. The next minute, his mouth was on mine and everything else disappeared.The kiss was nothing like before, no hesitation, no pulling back. Kade kissed me like he'd been starving for it, one hand sliding into my hair, the other pulling me against him. I gasped against his mouth and he took the opportunity, deepening the kiss until my knees got weak.His wolf was close to the surface. I could feel it, a wildness in the way he held me, something raw under his skin. His eyes were gold when we broke apart for air, and the sound he made in his throat sent a wave of heat through my body."Sera," he growled against my lips. A warning, a plea.I answered by pulling him back to me.The kiss became hungrier, my fingers threaded through his hair and he made a sound that vibrated through my chest. His hands gripped my waist tightly and I grabbed his shoulders, needing to feel every i
