Все главы Rejecting the Heir, Fxxking the Alpha's Father: Глава 31 - Глава 40

"I’ve heard Aria say more than once that she wanted to sever the bond," Lena declared, her voice echoing through the stone halls of the Draven Alpha Estate.She stood tall, her eyes flashing with a protective heat as she faced her own bloodline. "She told me you kept stalling, Victor, claiming High Alpha Magnus was too fragile for the shock. Just two suns ago, Dominic even had his Enforcers drug her and drag her back to the Stone territory like a prisoner, just to ensure she’d be at the Council Hall today."Turning her gaze to Magnus, who sat brooding in his high-backed chair, Lena added, "If the Matriarch hadn’t collapsed, Aria would have scented the air with the truth herself, Grandpa. She wasn’t the one hiding.""So you all collared her, and now you’re snarling as if she’s the rogue here?" Lena shot back, her tone sharp as a wolf’s tooth."Lena, you cannot speak to your Alpha this way," Sabrina interjected, her scent thick with desperation. "We are your pack, your family. You shoul

Ethan stood by the entrance of the Moon Council Hall, his wolf pacing with a restless, gnawing guilt. Even if the bond had been shredded by my own words, he couldn't stand the thought of me facing the Matriarch’s transition alone."Ethan, what are you hunting for?" Vanessa called out, her voice sharp and grating."Vanessa, have you scented Aria? Where did she go?" Ethan asked, his tone edged with a raw urgency.Vanessa’s eyes narrowed, her scent turning sour with jealousy. Seriously? He’s still chasing that bitch? "Oh, you’re looking for the 'grieving' sister?""She was the Matriarch’s heart, Vanessa. I need to have a word with her," Ethan replied, his voice laced with a concern that made Vanessa want to snarl.To Ethan, it felt like an eternity had passed since the ceremony. "Aria’s wolf has always been strong. I just want to offer my spirit’s support. Maybe it will help her find her balance," he said, his tone carrying that typical Alpha self-assurance. He genuinely believed that hi

I watched the corner of Peter’s mouth lift, a shadow of a smirk that he quickly buried when he saw the raw, bloodshot state of my eyes. He swallowed whatever teasing remark he had ready, his scent shifting from dominant cedar to something more grounding, like rain-washed stone."The pack healers said the lunar-IV will have you back on your paws by morning, Aria. But your tongue... you bit it hard to keep your wolf from shifting under that drug. It’s going to be sensitive for a few suns. Stick to the softest meats and liquid broth so you don’t tear the wounds," he advised, his voice dropping into a gentle rumble.I felt a spark of genuine heat in my chest that had nothing to do with the suppressant-breaker. "Thank you, Peter."The way I said his name made his pupils dilate, the golden ring in his irises glowing briefly. He leaned back in the high-backed chair, his black tactical shirt unbuttoned at the throat, revealing the edge of a jagged scar on his collarbone that looked dangerousl

"The idiot pup sang like a bird," I muttered as I watched the Moon Council Enforcers' feed. I wasn't in the mood for any more pack drama, but seeing Travis crumble under the scent of his own fear was almost worth the headache."Enforcer, I’m telling you! I didn't poison her water!" Travis protested, his voice cracking into a high-pitched whine."Then explain the healer's reports? Aria Stone was hit with a dose of suppressant-breaker strong enough to force a shift. And you just happened to be lurking in the restroom when her wolf was vulnerable. Was it a simple hunt, or was it an attempted forced-bond?" The lead Enforcer’s voice was like a whip, leaving no room for the whelp to breathe.Travis looked like he wanted to bolt, his eyes darting toward the silver-lined walls of the interrogation chamber. "I didn't... I swear, I didn't use the drug!""The trail leads right to you, Travis. If you don't give me a name, you’re the one going to the Council dungeons," the Enforcer pressed, his au

“Vanessa, are you hunting?” Lila asked, her voice crackling through the pack-link with a jagged edge of irritation.Vanessa Hale let out a sharp, frustrated breath. “Yeah, I’m hunting. Lila, it feels like a moon-cycle since we actually ran together. Are you at the Sunrise Den? I need to get out of this headspace.”At the Den, Lila watched her friend with a calculating gaze. She sipped a dark, fortifying brew, her eyes shifting amber for a fleeting second. “So, the rumors are true? Your father actually bowed to Aria’s growl and threw you out of the Stone Estate? I thought he was the Alpha of that house.”“Can you believe the betrayal? Lila, I’m losing my mind. What kind of dark magic did she use on my father to make him treat his own blood like omega runts?” Vanessa vented, her scent souring with a spike of pure adrenaline.Lila fell silent, her mind working behind a mask of cool indifference. She knew Dominic Stone better than most. He wasn't a wolf who acted on sentiment; he was a co
