Claimed by the Outcast Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 161 - 챕터 170

My brother Lucian’s expression darkened, but the icy tension radiating from Kaelen was far more intimidating. “Let me handle this,” I muttered. Kaelen gave a single nod and fell into step behind me. “Is that your ex?” he asked. “Yes.” He didn’t say another word. “Kira!” Zev shouted again. The moment I stepped out of the memorial hall, I understood why the warriors hadn’t moved in. Zev was holding a gun! Fear coursed through me, and several of the guests who had followed me outside gasped in alarm. This was bad… Firearms were strictly forbidden among wolves. Most bullets were cast with silver, a metal capable of tearing through a wolf’s healing and killing even the strongest Alpha. The mere sight of a gun inside Blackwood territory was enough to put every wolf on edge. The moment Zev spotted me, his face lit up. But before he could stumble forward, an enraged voice boomed from across the courtyard. “What the fuck are you doing?!” It was my father. Zev flinched, his lips t

“Now that it’s just the two of us… how are things between you and Alpha Kaelen?” Amanda asked. I took a moment to gather my thoughts. But before I could answer, she continued, “Don’t tell me everything’s fine. Your personal maid told me Alpha Kaelen kept you confined during your first few days in Thornfell. Then there was the time you called me about the poison. But then, these past three nights, while you were unconscious, I saw how worried he was. He never left your bedside. Then I noticed the mate mark on your shoulder, and I think I understand why. So… what’s really going on between the two of you?” I let out a sigh. “Trust me, Kaelen and I are okay. We had our share of misunderstandings because of the packs we come from, but I can honestly say we’re in a much better place now. He would never do something like that again, if that’s what you’re worried about.” “Are you falling in love with him, Kira?” Amanda looked straight into my eyes, making me swallow nervously. “I… I don’

“A-Alpha Derrick…” the servant stammered, trembling from head to toe. “Lady Iris ordered me to lace the incense with a love potion. Please… I’m begging you… spare me…” I clenched my fists, fighting the urge to lash out again. For the first time, Iris’s expression shifted. She seemed to realize there was no point in denying it any longer. “So, what if I planned to seduce Alpha Kaelen?” Iris shot back without an ounce of remorse. “I was the one who was supposed to marry him! I was meant to be Thornfell’s Luna! Zev told me that if Alpha Kaelen claimed me, you’d return to the Blackwood Pack. Then I could finally take my rightful place as Kaelen’s wife, just as everyone had planned from the very beginning!” My anger burned even hotter as fresh blood seeped through the bandage wrapped around my shoulder. “What do you mean by that?” I demanded. “What exactly did Zev tell you, and when did you talk to him?” Iris clamped her mouth shut, refusing to say another word. With the Alpha an

Zev shot to his feet. “What?” “You killed my wolf spirit, Zev.” “N-No…” He staggered back, shaking his head violently. “I would never do that, Kira. I love you!” “Whatever you feel for me isn’t love. Love doesn’t destroy the person it claims to cherish.” I held his gaze without flinching. “Please… forget about me. After everything you’ve done, that’s the only kindness you have left to give me. If we ever meet again… I’ll pretend I never knew you.” I turned my back on him and walked toward the cell door without looking back. “No, Kira! Kira!” His desperate cries echoed through the jail, growing fainter with every step I took. But no matter how many times he called my name, I never looked back. The moment I stepped out of the jailhouse, Kaelen rushed over to me, his face etched with worry. “Kira, we can’t stay here any longer,” he said, his voice tight with urgency. “Something happened to my grandfather, and my pack and my business are in chaos.” *** In Thornfell Territory,

To frame Kira for poisoning the pups, they lured the omega into a trap. But the plan backfired; it was his own carelessness that got him caught. Security around the jailhouse had been tightened after the incident, leaving Rora restless. She knew Kaelen’s mate would once again point the finger at her, so she decided to exploit the beta’s feelings for her. The beta had long been in love with Rora. Blinded by his affection, he believed every word she said. “Beta, you know me. I made one mistake, but I would never do any of the things Alpha Kaelen and his mate are accusing me of! And now even a member of the Thornfell Pack is paying the price,” Rora said, trembling with practiced sorrow. She pressed on. “He’s locked up because he believed I should have been the one to marry Kaelen. I can’t stop thinking about him, and my conscience won’t let me rest. And... do you know he’s been poisoned?” The beta could hardly believe what he was hearing. “We have to help him,” Rora pleaded. “He als
