Alle Kapitel von The Alpha and his Awaited Mate: Kapitel 361 – Kapitel 367

The moment the suffocating breakfast finally concludes, our family smoothly coordinates our next moves. We need to let the pressure build inside these walls. Dad, Charlotte, Julie, and Aiden remain in the main wing to keep a suffocatingly tight tab on Lionel and Muriel, ensuring the desperate tyrant doesn't try anything reckless. Meanwhile, Ashton and I step out of the heavy atmosphere to take a walk through the cold, misty estate grounds. From a distant, tactical perimeter, Alex and Xander shadow us, keeping an eagle eye on the surrounding treeline.I keep my arm firmly anchored around Ashton’s waist as our boots crunch over the frost-bitten grass. The air is freezing, but the heat radiating off my mate is pure Alpha energy. Cassian is no longer pacing; he is standing tall at the forefront of Ashton's consciousness.”Sebastian…” Ashton whispers, leaning his weight into my side as we walk down a secluded gravel path. "The pack... I can feel them. The air feels different out here.”"

Ashton collapses onto the nearest leather armchair, letting out a heavy, ragged breath as he leans his elbows on his knees and buries his face in his palms. Sebastian immediately drops to his knees right beside the chair, resting a heavy, protective hand on Ashton's thigh, his eyes never leaving his mate’s face.Weston snaps his phone shut, and then sums up the situation. He steps toward the center of the room, looking at the two of them with a grim, serious expression."The council is on their way. They’ll be here in thirty minutes.” Weston announces, his deep voice taking control of the room.He looks directly at Ashton. "Lionel’s reign is dead, Ashton. The pack has submitted to you. But you have options now, and we need to decide our unified front before the elders walk through that door.”Ashton lifts his head from his palms. "Options? Weston, an hour ago we were eating breakfast, now I’m apparently the Alpha of this pack”"You are.” Weston nods firmly. "And here is what you ca

Shortly after, the grand emissaries of the head Werewolf Council finally arrive at the estate. Dad doesn't waste a single second with pleasantries. He takes the center of the drawing room, his massive Alpha aura completely dominating the space as he brutally debriefs the high council elders on exactly what has happened—Lionel’s systemic fraud, his horrific crimes against Apollo's family, and his desperate, failed attempt to stab Ashton to death. The global council members are completely pale, shivering in their seats, their authority entirely broken as they realize they let a criminal run this territory for decades.With the high council, we move out to the main courtyard for a mandatory pack assembly. Every single member of the territory is invited. I count exactly 122 pack members gathering in a tight, silent semi-circle on the frost-bitten grass. They are all watching my mate.Ashton steps up to the stone terrace, looking out over the crowd with absolute, majestic composure. I st

Sebastian”The hospital just called!” I shout out from the door of Ashton’s studio to my mate, who just started to paint.”What?” Ashton exclaims, dropping his brush.”It’s time, she’s in labour!” I shout.”Let’s go!” Ashton runs towards me.”Shirt, babe, you need to put on clothes” I realize before we run for the stairs.”Oh, right!” Ashton stops in his tracks and runs to our suite to grab a shirt.”Let’s go!” He comes running, putting on my olive green hoodie. It’s inside out, but who cares, our child is about to be born!We run to the garage and take Ashton’s BMW, which already has the baby seat in it, along with a bag full of clothes, diapers, bottles, pacifiers, and everything that we probably will never need.”You drive!” I order, since I’m too shocked.”Okay!” Ashton replies and off we go. We park the car and run inside the hospital.”Calm down, Alphas, this might take some time. Please sit down and try to stay calm.” the midwife softly greets us. She guides us to a room with
