Lahat ng Kabanata ng Family's Regret After She Kneels: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Aurora’s POVThe King’s chambers were always quiet at dawn , a stillness that carried the weight of authority. Morning light filtered through the tall crystal windows, scattering against the polished stone floor like fragments of gold. Gray stood beside me, shoulders squared, every inch the Alpha the world feared. Yet when the King entered, even Gray inclined his head in respect.“Alpha Gray,” the King said, voice steady yet edged with concern. “The southern border is in unrest again. My scouts report rogue factions gathering in increasing numbers. I need someone capable, someone the border wolves will listen to.”Gray listened carefully, his jaw tight but respectful. “You want me to put down the rebellion.”The King nodded. “Do this, and the realm will stabilize for the coming winter. I trust few with such a task.”Before Gray could respond, my voice slipped in, gentle but firm.“We’ll help.”Gray turned to me, surprise flickering in his eyes, but he didn’t contradict me. The King

Aurora’s POVThe echo of the persons scream still rang faintly in my ears as they tumbled backward. Blue cautioned me. Be careful, Aurora , this is a setup. Someone wants to provoke you.“I know,” I whispered.But before I could even lean forward to check whether she’d broken anything, a blur swept past me, gray, fast as a streak of wind.Gray appeared at my side with a force that bent the air.He didn’t just run.He teleported.One moment he wasn’t there.The next, his arms were around me, bracing my back and pulling me out of danger.“Aurora,” he said, breath sharp with fear, “are you hurt?”I blinked, trying to steady the way the world tilted. The stone where I’d been standing was cracked from the fall, the air swirling with dust. My knee burned, sharp, hot, but other than that, I was intact.Gray’s hands skimmed my shoulders, my waist, checking with trembling urgency.“I’m fine,” I said softly.His gaze flickered down to my knee, blood seeping through torn fabric. A storm passed

Keith’s POVI did not expect to be turned away.The Silver Moon Wolf Clan had once stood proudly among the packs. Even now, even after everything, I was still its Alpha. I had come in person, not as a petitioner, but as a leader seeking counsel.Yet the palace gates never opened for me.Beta George met me at the outer hall, his posture polite with his expression calm. “Alpha Keith,” he said, inclining his head just enough to show courtesy. “The King is unavailable today.”I frowned. “Unavailable?”“Yes,” George replied smoothly. “The King is occupied with urgent matters. He has instructed me to pass along his apologies.”Apologies.The word scraped against my nerves.“I was not informed of any such schedule,” I said. “This meeting was requested days ago.”George did not flinch. “Circumstances changed.”I stared at his face, looking for something more like hesitation, discomfort or guilt but there was none.Behind me, the wheels of my chair creaked faintly as I shifted my weight. I h

Aurora’s POVThe Red Moon Wolf Clan’s party filled the main hall with sound and movement. Voices overlapped and glasses clinked. The soft soft music filled through the air. The banners of the clan hung high, and the guards stood alert at every entrance.I stood near the center, calm on the outside, steadying my breath on the inside.Tonight mattered.I raised my hand slightly, and the room slowly quieted. Gray stood a short distance behind me, watching without interrupting. I could feel his presence like a solid wall at my back.“Thank you for coming,” I said clearly. “Tonight’s gathering is not only a celebration, but also an introduction.”I stepped aside and gestured forward.“This is Sloane,” I continued. “She is a powerful water manipulator and a respected figure in her field. Tonight, she represents the water discipline.”Sloane paused for a moment, then stepped forward. She wore simple clothes, but her posture was straight and confident. I met her eyes briefly and nodded.She u

Gray’s POVI arrived at the Red Moon Wolf Clan at full speed.The moment I stepped through the outer grounds, I felt the chaos, fear and anger. The room still carried the sharp traces of magic that had been used violently and without restraint.Soldiers straightened when they saw me. None of them spoke at first.My eyes moved around and I spotted Aurora.She was lying on the ground, supported by Sloane. Her face was pale. Her breathing was shallow. Burn marks stained her clothes, and blood marked the corner of her lips.My chest tightened so hard it hurt.Not far from her, Alpha Keith lay unconscious on the stone path. His body was twisted at an awkward angle, his clothes scorched where Aurora’s magic had struck him back. Soldiers from the Silver Moon Wolf Clan stood frozen, unsure whether to retreat or fight.I took steps forward. The ground beneath my feet cracked faintly with each step.“What happened?” I asked.My voice was sharp. Everyone heard it.One of my subordinates moved qu
