THE ALPHA'S FORSAKEN MATE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Amos's POV"Lock down the entire territory," I command immediately. "No one goes in or out. Triple the guards around Mira and the Stone family. And get me a tracking team—I want Sarah found within the hour."Warriors scatter to follow my orders. My mind races through possibilities. How did Sarah escape? Who helped her? And how does she plan to kill me?Mira grabs my arm, her green eyes wide with fear. "You can't go looking for her. That's exactly what they want—to separate you from protection.""I have to do something," I argue. "I can't just sit here waiting for an attack.""Yes, you can." Alexander steps forward, his Alpha authority matching mine. "Amos, I respect your courage, but rushing into a trap helps no one. We need strategy, not bravado."Before I can respond, Marcus—the young Stone brother, not the former Beta—speaks up. "I can track her. I'm the best tracker in Silver Moon Pack. If Sarah's been here, I can follow her scent trail and figure out where she's going.""Absolute

Mira's POVThe war room is packed with Alphas, Betas, and high-ranking warriors from both Crescent Moon and Silver Moon packs. Maps are spread across the large table, showing our territory and the surrounding areas where Nathaniel's forces might attack.I stand between Amos and my father, trying to focus on the strategy discussion, but exhaustion pulls at me. Using my Alpha Queen power twice in one day has left me drained in ways I've never experienced."The main force will likely attack from the north," Alexander says, pointing to the map. "It's the most direct route and offers the best cover for a large army.""But Nathaniel is smart," Amos counters. "He knows we'll anticipate that. What if he splits his forces and attacks from multiple directions simultaneously?""Then we split our defenses," Marcus Collins suggests. The former Beta has been working hard to redeem himself since his daughter's crimes were exposed. "Place warriors at every possible entry point.""That spreads us too

Mira's POVThe morning after our mating ceremony, I wake up tangled in Amos's arms in our new shared quarters. For a moment, I just lie there enjoying the warmth of his body against mine, the steady rhythm of his breathing, the completeness of our bond.Then reality crashes back. Seven days. The Pure Bloods gave me seven days."You're thinking too loud," Amos mumbles sleepily, pulling me closer. "I can feel your anxiety through the bond.""Sorry. I can't help it."He opens his eyes and studies my face. "We'll figure this out. Together.""They said I have to come alone.""And you believe ancient werewolves who threaten to kill your family?" Amos sits up, suddenly alert. "Mira, this is obviously a trap.""I know. But what choice do I have? If I don't go, they'll attack everyone I love."Before Amos can argue, someone pounds on our door. "Alpha! We have a situation!"I throw on clothes quickly and open the door to find Jessica looking panicked. "What's wrong?""Nathaniel, Kyle, and Sarah

Mira's POV"Mom?" I whisper in disbelief, staring at Catherine as power radiates from her like waves of pure energy.Nathaniel stumbles backward, his face pale with shock. "That's impossible. You've been weakened for years. The poison—""Was never meant to kill me," Catherine interrupts coldly. "It was meant to suppress my true power. But fifteen years in a coma gave me time to heal, to grow stronger, to plan." She steps fully into the mill, and the dark barrier Nathaniel created cracks and shatters like glass. "And now I'm fully awake."Our hidden warriors pour through the broken barrier. Jessica leads the charge, followed by Marcus and a dozen others. They surround Kyle, Sarah, and Nathaniel quickly.But Catherine walks past them all, her eyes fixed on Emma hanging from the chains."My baby," she whispers, and the love in her voice is heartbreaking. With a wave of her hand, the chains dissolve and Emma floats gently down into her arms. "I've got you now. You're safe."Emma's eyes fl

Mira's POVThe crack in the sky spreads like shattered glass, darkness pouring through. Shadow creatures—twisted forms that look like wolves but aren't—begin descending to earth in swarms."All warriors to battle stations!" Alexander's voice booms through the pack mind-link. "Protect the civilians! This is not a drill!"Chaos erupts. Warriors shift and race to defensive positions. Parents grab children and run for the reinforced shelters. Alarms blare across the territory.Amos grips my shoulders. "Are you ready for this?""No," I admit. "But I don't have a choice."I shift into my Alpha Queen form—massive silver wolf with glowing golden eyes. Luna's presence is strong in my mind, fierce and ready for battle."Together," she growls. "We fight together."The shadow creatures reach the ground and immediately attack the nearest wolves. Our warriors engage, but these enemies are different from rogues. They don't bleed or tire. When you strike them, they dissolve into smoke and reform seco
