Chapter 52Alpha Artemis walked into the room where Alaric waited, his footfalls unyielding yet weighed down by the weight of a choice already made in his mind. There was a tension in the air in the palace. Servants moved noiselessly down the corridors, their whispers stifled, aware that the dialogue between the two Alphas would determine much of what was to come. Artemis's jaw lifted, his eyes unyielding, but his composure was still intact. He was a man who rarely allowed his defenses to lapse, but tonight his resolve was unshakeable: he could no longer stand with Alpha Jason's affiliation.Alaric sat at the big table, his posture relaxed-seeming, but stiffening to attention the instant Artemis entered. He watched the older Alpha suspiciously, already expecting that something unpleasant was going to occur. The flicker of the torches on the walls cast shadows over Alaric's face, scoring lines into the planes of his features and giving him a nearly sinister hardness.Artemis stopped on

|| THIRD PERSON's POV||Radolf approached the castle in a fury that trembled every step of the journey. He strode with a sharp, biting step that seethed with the kind of anger that cautioned others to keep away. His eyes burned with a storm that now raged out of control. His fists were clenched, and his jaw was so set that it pained his teeth. Guards at the entrance remained ramrod stiff, lowering their gaze in a split second. No one dared question him or even ask what displeased him. They could feel it—the rage of their Alpha was enough to silence every lips in the castle.The large doors groaned as he shoved them open. The sound echoed down the corridor, announcing his arrival in a declaration through the depths of his rage. He expected quiet in there, expected to be walking into a castle without peace, but what he saw instead struck him with the power of fire flowing into his very blood.Reika stood facing him. She was not dressed in her humble frocks. Instead, she was wrapped in

|| REIKA's POV ||I thought that I was dead! Ever since I gave up my Alpha position, my health has failed to recognize my condition. My body quivered in the cold. From the corner of my eye, I could see Radolf standing in shock. I swore that his eyes were screaming to come and get me from the cold ground.But he stayed...stayed far away from me." REIKAAAAA!!! My dear!", another voice drew attention from everyone. I felt the warm embrace of my mate, Alaric. He hugged me so tight that I could barely breathe. As his soulmate, I should have felt happy to get him so close. Yet my mind was sinned. My sinful wolf wanted closure from the man who pushed her to death.Alaric shouted at the council members, helping me to get up from the floor," Have you seen enough proof? How can this monster treat Alpha blood like that? Let her go!"The council members all looked stunned before they cast a glance at Radolf. He was silent all the time. I could see his fist clenching. The eldest council members

|| RADOLF's POV ||" Think about it, My King. It means that Alpha Alaric will come for his mate, Reika, tomorrow."Cohen remarked, seeing through the hesitation in my eyes. I gritted my teeth hard, the thought of their intimate scene together made my blood boil in rage. I blurted out angrily, heading to the private chamber," Good! Let that pussy come. This time, I will show him what Alpha King can do! How dare he bring counsel to my palace! Let him intrude!"Alaric was the first Alpha who dared to challenge me openly even bringing the council to threaten my throne. Even though I could crash him off easily, I held back everything for the sake of Reika only. I didn't want to be the monster in her eyes anymore.Cohen smirked, clearly enjoying the idea of teaching Alaric a good lesson," What do you plan, My King?"I smirked back, pausing in front of the door," Tell our Black Wolves Group to guard tomorrow."Cohen's smile widened as he loved the idea. Before I could enter my room, Laura

|| ALARIC'S POV ||" Have you sent my present to Reika?" I asked my brother after stepping into his room. The elders really didn't grant him the beta room. I was furious at their behavior.How dare they defy their Alpha?Afterwards, Alpha Jason convinced me that it wasn't a wise idea to retaliate since I was still fitting into my role. Axel replied with a smirk, getting up after righting something," Yes! She should have received it already. Don't worry, the maid will have no memory of mine. But you forgave her so easily?"I remained silent over his question. No one still knew that It did that I didn't mark Reika's wolf officially yet. Our bond was still unrecognizable to society but we found our soul bond way earlier. Now I had the opportunity today. If we could be reunited at the Blood Moon Festival, our bond will be sealed and blessed by the Moon Goddess. Tonight I was going to have her as mine.I replied with a shrug, remembering her eyes as she watched that fucking King," What e
