Semua Bab Awakening Of The Hidden Alpha Heiress: Bab 11 - Bab 20

CHAPTER 11 FREYA'S POV "She cares about you. She wouldn't stop talking about you and how much she wants to see you happy,” Caelan said after a while. He was referring to Aurora, my bestfriend. Sometimes, I envied the relationship between them. Though they were distant cousins, I couldn't help thinking I want what they had for me and Iris. But attaining something like that was almost impossible. "Naah… she's a menace, but I will always love her," I said, before I sat down and started eating. And honestly, the food was genuinely, absurdly good, which made everything worse somehow. I knew I shouldn't be reacting to him this way. Feeling this warm and excited anytime I was around him. Liking every gift he brought to me. This was the fastest way to get your heart broken, but I couldn't fight the attraction. Oh moongoddess… I can't bear another heartbreak. Especially not from someone like Caelan. We ate mostly in silence. The comfortable kind that really didn't need filli

CHAPTER 13 FREYA'S POV Elder Mira, our supervisor, crossed the floor. She looked like she had watched this kind of performance for decades and had exactly zero patience left for it. She was older, silver-haired, with the council insignia on her collar and an expression that made candidates on both sides of the room stand up straighter in fear... or maybe it was just respect. She stopped in the middle of the floor and looked at Selene first, then at Rowan, then she let her gaze move across the wider group. "The council welcomes all eligible candidates regardless of rank," she started,her voice calm and monotone. "Ability is tested here and proven here. It is not assumed based on bloodline, title, or any claim a candidate makes about themselves before the trials begin." She held Selene's gaze for a moment longer than might have been deemed comfortable. "Family connections mean nothing inside this compound. The only currency here is performance. I trust that's understood by eve

CHAPTER 15 FREYA'S POV “First place.” I whispered, my voice coming out a bit breathless. I stood in front of the board and read my name at the top of the list, I blinked in disbelief over and over again like I expected it to change. First? Out of forty-three candidates, including alphas and heirs from the most powerful packs in the territory. Goddess! I couldn't believe it. Aurora grabbed me from behind with both arms and nearly knocked me off my feet. "First! Freya, first place, say something!” She screamed into my ear in excitement. "You're going to dislocate my shoulder," I said as I jokingly pushed her off me. "I don't care." She hissed, finally letting go. Then, spun me around to face her, her eyes bright. "You have got to see the look on her face? Look at her." She laughed. I turned around to look at where her fingers were pointing at. Selene was standing a few meters away with her eyes fixed on the rankings. And despite the distance, I could tell the exact moment s

CHAPTER 17 FREYA'S POV I scanned the place while Selene watched me like a hawk. And, just then, my eyes landed on a thick branch nearby. I quickly picked it up, my mind racing with possibilities, tested it against the ground, and wedged it under the base of the boulder at the point where the incline began. Then I positioned myself at the end of the branch, anchored my feet to the ground, and pushed down with everything I had. Nothing for a long moment. “What do you think you’re doing?” Selene scoffed. “That won’t work.” She continued but I was too busy to give her the attention she wanted. I pushed down on the branch further, saying silent prayers that it won’t snap into two and then there was a low grinding sound from deep in the rock. And then a shift, gradual and then immediately, and like a miracle, the boulder rolled away; not completely, just far enough to create a gap along the right edge of the pass. I dropped the branch and slipped through. From the ridge abov

CHAPTER 19 FREYA'S POV Like I expected, the execution was messier than the plan. The evacuation routes Aurora and Jin established took longer than we anticipated because two of the designated civilian areas had blocked access points that the brief hadn't mentioned. This meant adapting on the spot and redirecting through a secondary path that created distance but at least helped us in avoiding a chokepoint with a high rogue concentration. Aurora handled it without needing to check back with me, which was exactly what I needed her to do. The triage point Vera set up was up and running within minutes. She was efficient and unflappable and I made a mental note to tell her so afterward. Marcus on the defensive line was, in the end, excellent. To my surprise, he followed my calls without argument once we were in motion, adapted when the rogue positioning shifted in the second phase, and covered three positions in the final run where we went from containment to neutralization.
