《The Alpha Betrayed Mate》全部章節：第 101 章 - 第 110 章

The journey back to Shadow Valley felt longer than the one that had taken me to Silvercrest.Perhaps it was because the night had grown heavier, or I still felt beaten by Clay.Or perhaps it was because I carried too many thoughts in my head.The forest stretched endlessly around me, its tall black trunks reaching toward the sky like silent sentinels. The red moon that had hung above the battlefield had faded hours ago, replaced now by the familiar silver glow that once comforted me.But it did not comfort me tonight.Tonight, it only reminded me of what had been broken.I moved through the woods quietly, the damp earth soft beneath my boots. My body ached from the fight with Clay. Not wounds that would slow me down, but the deep exhaustion that followed the release of power too large for the body to easily contain.Krager’s training had prepared me for many things.But nothing could truly prepare someone for facing the person who had once been the centre of their life.My wolf remain

The morning I left Shadow Valley, the sky had not yet decided whether it wanted to be day or night.A grey light stretched across the mountains, soft and uncertain, like the world itself was holding its breath.The valley behind me was already awake. Warriors moved across the stone paths, their armour clinking quietly as they prepared for the war everyone now believed was inevitable. Fires still burned from the night watch, sending thin columns of smoke into the cold air.For a moment, I stood at the edge of the ridge and looked back.Shadow Valley no longer looked like a prison.It looked like a home.A strange one, carved into rock and shadow, but a home all the same.And yet I was leaving it again.Not to return to Silvercrest.But to end something that had been poisoning both places.My bond with Clay.The idea had settled in my mind sometime during the restless hours before dawn. I had lain awake on the narrow bed inside my cavern chamber, staring at the ceiling while my thoughts

The deeper we moved into Silvercrest territory, the heavier the forest seemed to become.The trees grew closer together here, their branches weaving overhead like a ceiling of dark green needles that filtered the daylight into thin streaks of silver. The air carried a familiar scent I had not breathed in weeks.Pine.Wet earth.Wolf.This land had always smelled like power.But today it smelled like war.Aisha walked slightly ahead of me now, her movements quiet but alert, eyes constantly scanning the trees. Zira followed a few paces behind, her steps lighter but far less cautious.My wolf remained restless inside me.The resistance had not faded since we crossed into the territory.If anything, it had grown stronger.Each mile we travelled deeper into Silvercrest land felt like pushing against an invisible current that wanted to drag me backward.But I kept moving.Because somewhere ahead of us was Zach.The path curved around a ridge of moss-covered stones before opening into a narr

The rain did not stop.It only grew steadier, falling through the dark branches like a quiet curtain that separated us from the rest of the world. The forest around our small clearing seemed to withdraw into shadow, the storm swallowing every distant sound except the slow rumble of thunder rolling across the mountains.For a while, none of us spoke.Aisha leaned against the same tree she had claimed earlier, her dagger still loosely held in her hand as if it were simply an extension of her body. Zira stood near the edge of the clearing, staring out toward the deeper forest as though she could still see Silvercrest through the storm.And I remained at the centre of it all.My wolf had grown strangely quiet again.Not calm.Not peaceful.But listening.As though something in the wind carried a message only she could hear.Finally, Zira spoke again.“There’s something else you need to know.”Her voice sounded different this time.Less sarcastic.Less defensive.More… careful.Aisha lifte

The night the world broke open, the sky was already angry.Thunder had been rolling across the mountains long before I reached the battlefield, a deep restless growl that echoed through the forest like the breathing of something ancient. The air itself felt charged, heavy with the scent of rain and electricity, and every instinct inside me told me that something terrible was about to happen.But I kept moving.Every step toward Silvercrest pulled me deeper into the storm, and deeper into the plan we had set in motion hours earlier.Zira had already gone ahead to lure Clay out, disguised as her sister. Aisha had slipped toward the pack house to reach Zach. That left only me standing in the clearing where Clay was supposed to meet the priestess he believed held the power of the Moon Goddess.I had chosen the location carefully.A wide stretch of open ground near the northern ridge, where the forest thinned into rocky earth. The place had once been used for large pack training drills, wh
