Semua Bab The Rogue King's Silver Wolf : Bab 31 - Bab 37

KADEEvery time I closed my eyes, I saw her, felt her. The way she'd looked at me with those brown eyes filled with want, the softness of her skin under my hands, the sound she'd made when I'd kissed her neck.My wolf was purring like some satisfied house cat instead of the feral beast it had been for the past five years.I'd kissed Sera Blackwood, more than kissed her and I didn't regret a single second of it.That should have terrified me, It did terrify me.The last time I'd cared about someone, really cared…she'd died. Lydia had been murdered because of me, because I'd been stupid enough to think love could survive in a world controlled by the Council.But lying there in the dark, all I could think about was the way Sera had laughed after Elena caught us, the way she'd looked at me like I was something worth wanting.I gave up on sleeping around dawn. By the time I'd showered and dressed, the compound was starting to brighten. I could hear patrol shifts changing, perceive the smel

SERAThe room felt too small, maps covered every surface, council territories, known headquarters locations, patrol routes. Marcus had gathered everything we had and it wasn't nearly enough."The main headquarters is here," Marcus said, pointing to a mark on the largest map. "Fortified structure in the heart of Council territory, at least a hundred guards at any given time, probably more.""How do we get in?" I asked, staring at the layout, It looked impossible."That's the problem," Kade said. "We don't have current knowledge, these maps are five years old. Guard rotations could have changed, new security measures could be in place, we'd be going in blind.""So we send scouts," I said, "to get updated information.""That takes time we don't have," Marcus replied, "and getting close enough to observe without being detected is nearly impossible. Council headquarters isn't some abandoned warehouse, It's the most heavily guarded location in all pack territories."I pressed my hands again

SERAI lay in bed staring at the ceiling, my mind running through every possible scenario. Not about dying, I was powerful enough now that death didn't scare me the way it once had, but the thought of losing control of my power, exploding and killing innocent people, killing my own father..That terrified me.I gave up on sleep around midnight and walked out of my room. The compound was quiet, most wolves were already resting before tomorrow's mission, my feet carried me to the clinic almost without thinking.Maya was awake, sitting up on a bed reading. She looked up when I entered, a smile spread across her face."Couldn't sleep either?" she asked."How did you know?""Because I know you." She patted the bed beside her, "Sit, talk to me."I sat, and for a moment neither of us spoke. Maya had been my friend since childhood, she'd been there through everything, my mother's death, my years of invisible pining for Thorne, the rejection, all of it."Thank you," she said suddenly, "for eve

SERAThe journey back to the compound was silent. Marcus carried my father's body wrapped in a cloak, I walked beside him feeling numb. The others gave me space, their eyes filled with pity that I didn't want.I'd killed at least fifteen Council guards, maybe more, I'd stopped counting after the first few fell. That should have made me feel better but it didn't.We reached the compound, rogues stopped and stared as we passed, words spread quickly that the mission was successful but we failed in what mattered.Elena met us at the gate, her face falling when she saw Marcus burden."Sera," she said softly, "I'm so sorry."I couldn't respond, I couldn't speak."Where's Lila?" Kade asked."In the main house, I'll get her.""No," I finally found my voice, "I'll tell her myself, she should hear it from me."I walked to the house on shaky legs and found Lila in the sitting room reading. She looked up when I entered, her smile faded immediately she looked at me."Sera? What.." She saw the answ
