Semua Bab The Alpha’s Contract Mate: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Chapter 142 : The Gathering She Was Not Meant to AttendIt began like everything else in this pack—quietly, deliberately, and just out of reach.Camille did not hear about the gathering when it was first announced.She did not see the early preparations.She was not present when the instructions were passed from one member to another, when roles were assigned, when movements began to shift toward something larger than routine.What she noticed instead… was absence.It started with the corridors.There was a change in them.Not visible at first, not something that could be pointed out immediately, but something she felt as she walked past them, as she stood still long enough to observe.People were moving with purpose.Not rushing.Not chaotic.But directed.Groups formed and dissolved quickly, voices lowered as soon as she passed, conversations ending too abruptly to be natural.And no one told her why.Camille stood near one of the inner hallways, her gaze following a pair of attenda

Chapter 144 : Words They Think Will Break MeThe atmosphere inside the gathering hall shifted again, but this time it was not because someone entered or because a physical movement changed the structure of the space.It was because of what was said.Camille sat in her lowered seat, her posture still straight, her expression carefully composed, her gaze fixed forward in a way that gave nothing away even though she was fully aware of every word being exchanged around her.The elders had not rushed into their point.They never did.They built it slowly, carefully, as though they were layering meaning over meaning until it became something that sounded reasonable enough to be accepted without resistance.One of them stepped forward slightly, hands clasped behind his back, his voice carrying clearly across the hall in a tone that suggested experience, authority, and tradition that had supposedly existed long before anyone in the room could question it.“A Luna is not defined by position al

Chapter 146 : The Rules They Hide BehindThe silence that followed Theo’s words did not break immediately.It stretched.Not in defiance.Not in agreement.But in calculation.The elders did not react the way anyone might have expected.There was no immediate contradiction.No raised voices.No visible resistance.And that alone made the air feel heavier than before.Because open conflict could be challenged.But calm agreement… could not be confronted as easily.One of the elders stepped forward slowly, his expression composed, his posture relaxed in a way that suggested patience rather than opposition, as though Theo’s words had not threatened him, but had simply added something to be acknowledged.He inclined his head slightly.“Of course, Alpha,” he said, his voice smooth, measured, carrying just enough respect to sound sincere, “no one here questions your authority.”A faint shift passed through the gathering.Not relief.Not tension.But something in between.Theo did not move.

Chapter 147 : Questions That Do Not Wait AnymoreTheo did not slow down when he left the council chamber.Not immediately.His steps carried him through the corridor with quiet intensity, his mind still moving through everything that had just been said, every word from the elders replaying not as sound, but as structure, as something far more difficult to break than he had expected when he first entered that room.He had gone in to remove a rule.He had come out realizing the rule was older than his authority.And that realization did not sit quietly inside him.It pressed.It weighed.It demanded action even when no clear path had been given.He turned a corner without fully registering it, his focus inward, his thoughts tightening, aligning, searching for something he could still control within a situation that had already begun shifting beyond simple command.And then he stopped.Not because he reached a destination.But because she was there.Camille stood at the far end of the co

Chapter 150 : The Quiet That Cut DeeperFor a moment after Theo finished speaking, nothing moved.Not the air.Not the space between them.Not even the thoughts that had been rushing through Camille’s mind just seconds ago.Everything slowed.Not because there was nothing left to process.But because there was too much.And yet, she did not react the way most people would expect.She did not step back.She did not raise her voice.She did not ask another question immediately.Instead, something inside her… stilled.It was not numbness.It was not denial.It was control.The kind that came when emotions tried to rise all at once, and she chose—deliberately—not to let them take shape in front of him.Her gaze remained on Theo, but it was different now.Still steady.Still focused.But quieter.Not soft.Not weak.Just… deeper.Like she was no longer looking at him for answers.She was looking at him with understanding.And that understanding changed everything.Theo felt it.He did not
