His rejected curvy secret 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

Jacob’s POV I led the group deeper into the cursed valley. Every step pulled strength from my legs as the air grew colder and heavier. Faye rode right behind me with the baby held tight against her chest. Lira kept her blades ready on my left. Elara carried the moonstone and stayed close to Faye. Riven moved silently on my right while Kaelin watched the ground for any new threats. The cursed fire wall still burned high behind us. It drained my wolf with every breath I took. My shoulders ached and my vision blurred at the edges. But the moonstone in Elara’s hands glowed faintly. The silver light spread around us and pushed back the worst of the drain. I felt a small burst of energy return to my arms. I kept thinking about every choice that brought us here. Faye still bled from the poison in her body. The baby cried softly every few minutes and each sound cut straight through me. Our pack waited back at camp fighting Thorn’s curse with barely any strength left. Veyr stood somewher

Jacob’s POV I stood in the middle of the council circle and looked around at the pack. Half the wolves stood on my left with their arms crossed and eyes locked on me. The other half stood on my right and kept glancing at Faye and the baby she held tight against her chest. Tension sat thick in the air. Some faces showed anger. Others showed fear. A few looked ready to shout the moment Harlan opened his mouth. Harlan raised one hand from the center stone. “The vote begins now. We decided on leadership after Veyr fell. Who wants Jacob to stay as Alpha?” Several wolves on my left called out at once. “Jacob stays. He killed Veyr. He brought the moonstone back.” A wolf named Bran stepped forward from the right side. “Jacob let Thorn poison the water in the first place. We need a new council. Faye is a full Luna with real power. Elara is an advisor because of the Lunaris blood. No more one wolf deciding everything.” I stepped forward and raised my voice so every ear heard me. “We j

Jacob’s POV I gathered the small group at the edge of camp as the moon climbed higher. Faye stood beside me with our daughter strapped securely against her chest. The baby’s Lunaris echo gave her face more color tonight and steadied her steps even though I knew the poison still dragged at her insides. Elara carried the moonstone wrapped in cloth. Taryn fidgeted with her cloak and kept glancing at the dark trees. Riven checked his blade one last time before nodding to me. We moved out quietly on foot to avoid drawing eyes from the rest of the pack. The tracks from Garrick led north along a narrow path lined with thick brush. I kept my senses sharp for any sound or scent that did not belong. Faye walked close enough for our shoulders to brush. “You look like you are carrying the whole camp on your back again.” I glanced at her. “If there is another traitor I will find them. I will not let them hurt you or her again. I should have seen Garrick turning sooner.” She reached over

Jacob’s POV We stood over the cursed map in the central tent and stared at the black lines that twisted across the parchment like veins. Faye sat beside me with our daughter cradled close. The mark on her wrist glowed faintly now and the skin around it looked red and angry. Every few seconds she winced but she kept her eyes fixed on the map. Elara held the moonstone ready while Taryn stood near the tent flap keeping watch. Riven and Lira flanked the table with blades half-drawn. The air inside felt thick and wrong. The baby fussed softly against Faye’s chest. The Lunaris echo pulsed hard in response and I felt it push against my own wolf like a warning drum. Time was slipping away fast. The full moon was two nights from now. Nyra would not wait longer than that to steal the echo. I looked at the group. “Nyra wants the baby’s echo. We do not give her time to finish the ritual. We find her location on this map and we move tonight.” Faye nodded even though pain showed in her eyes

Jacob’s POV “Nyra dies tonight,” I said to the raid team as we moved through the dark trees toward the hidden cave. “The shadow curse ends with her. No hesitation. No prisoners unless they drop weapons and talk. We end this before the full moon finishes rising.” Faye walked beside me with her hand on the knife at her belt. “The echo is pulling hard already. I feel it in my chest. Nyra is starting the ritual right now.” Elara carried the moonstone wrapped tight against her side. “The silver light is ready. I can push the shadows back long enough for us to reach her circle. Just keep me covered.” Riven checked the path ahead. “Two unmarked guards on our flanks. They stay quiet and strike only when I signal. No noise until we are inside.” One of the guards—Kael—nodded once. “We follow your lead Alpha. For the pack.” The second guard—Soren—added low. “And for the child. We do not let Nyra touch her power.” We pushed forward faster. The full moon crested the ridge and silver
