Alle Kapitel von From Outcast To Alpha's Queen: Kapitel 121 – Kapitel 130

Juno hauled himself out of the passenger side, his face contorted in pain. His legs, already mangled from the torture in the cells, buckled beneath him. He had to grip the side of the car just to stay upright, his breath coming in ragged, wet gasps.Even broken, his eyes were full of venom. He pulled a heavy black pistol from his waistband, leaning his weight against the tilted frame of the vehicle."Don't listen to him, Seth!" Juno shouted, his voice rasping through the wind. "He’s an Alpha. They’re trained to lie. They’re trained to make you feel like the dirt under their boots just so you’ll stay in line. You wouldn't have felt this way for twenty years if they treated you fairly. You wouldn't have sought me out if they loved you like they love their Golden Boy."Travis didn't look at Juno. His eyes remained locked on Seth, who was still holding Aubrey, the knife trembling in his hand. Travis noticed something else. A small, red glint of a laser sight dancing across the mud near hi

The following morning, the smoke had cleared, but the scars on the stone walls and the charred grass remained. In the center of the foyer, the pack elders and the remaining commanders stood in a huddle, their faces pale and their voices hushed. Travis hadn't come out of the training room. No one dared to knock. The guards standing near the hallway looked terrified, unsure of what to do without their Alpha’s direct orders.Aubrey stepped onto the landing of the grand staircase. She had changed into a simple black dress, her hair pulled back tightly. Her face was pale, but her eyes were sharp and steady. She took a deep breath, resting a hand on her stomach for a second before she started walking down."Luna," Nyx said, stepping forward as she reached the bottom. "We’ve gathered the list of the fallen. Twenty-four warriors. Two scouts. We’re waiting for the Alpha to sign off on the burial sites and the compensation for the families."Aubrey didn't hesitate. She reached out and took the

Aubrey’s face was slick with sweat, her hair sticking to her forehead as another contraction ripped through her. She gripped Travis’s hand so hard that her knuckles turned white."One more push, Aubrey! Just one more!" Cassandra shouted, her voice cutting through the tension in the room. "I can see the head! Come on, you’re almost there!"Aubrey let out a raw, guttural scream, throwing her head back against the pillow. Every muscle in her body was screaming in protest, but she poured every ounce of her remaining strength into that final effort. Then, suddenly, the pressure vanished.The room was filled with a piercing wail. It was the loudest, most beautiful sound Aubrey had ever heard."It's a boy!" Cassandra cried, a rare smile breaking through her mask. "Travis, you have a son!"Travis let out a breath he felt like he had been holding for years. Tears blurred his vision as he looked down at Aubrey. "You did it," he whispered, his voice cracking. "He's here, Aubrey. Our son is here

It had only been a day since Aubrey and baby Seth were cleared to leave Cassandra’s clinic.Aubrey sat in the armchair near the window, her expression peaceful as she breastfed Seth. She looked down at his tiny, moving hands, a small smile playing on her lips.Travis stepped inside, closing the door softly behind him. He stood there for a moment, just watching them.Aubrey gently pulled her robe closed and adjusted the sleeping baby in her arms, looking up as Travis approached. "He just finished. I think he’s out for the count now."Travis leaned down, kissing her forehead before glancing at the woman standing in the hallway behind him. He gestured for her to enter. She was a woman in her late forties, with tanned skin and kind eyes that had seen a lot of years in the Silverstone territory. She stood with her hands folded politely in front of her.Aubrey stood up carefully, her eyes darting between Travis and the stranger. She walked over to Travis, reaching up to straighten his colla

The black scorch marks on the walls were covered with heavy blue and silver banners, the colors of the Thorne bloodline. Thousands of pack members and visiting Alphas crowded the main square, their voices a constant hum of excitement. In the dressing room, Travis stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the silver buttons of his formal Alpha jacket. His hands were steady, but his mind was still drifting back to the secondary gate and the cold look in Asval's eyes."You're overthinking again," Aubrey said, her voice cutting through his thoughts.Travis turned. Aubrey was standing there in a long, flowing dress of deep navy. She looked like a queen, but it was the way she held Seth that made Travis’s heart skip. The baby was dressed in a tiny white suit, blinking his large, dark eyes at the world."I’m just making sure the security is tight," Travis lied, stepping toward her. He reached out and touched Seth’s cheek. "He’s ready?""He’s been a little angel all morning," Aubrey said, smil
