บททั้งหมดของ the alpha who chose the broken luna : บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

LILIAN'S POV The maid's announcement hung heavily in the air, akin to a dense fog, rendering everyone speechless for a few prolonged moments. William Carter was gone. Along with him, Amara had vanished. I glanced from Darian to Noah, anticipating expressions of shock; instead, I was met with a tranquil comprehension. Neither appeared astonished. They bore the look of individuals whose worst fears had finally come true. Darian cautiously folded the ransom note and tucked it into his jacket before facing the maid. "Who delivered the news?" he inquired. The young woman anxiously intertwined her fingers. "It was Councilman Victor, Alpha. He mentioned that William's estate was deserted when they attempted to interrogate him regarding the fire." Noah's brows furrowed. "Deserted in what way?" "All the servants are gone. The guards have vanished. Lady Amara’s possessions are missing. They reported that the stables lack several horses." Edgar expelled a slow, fatigued breath. "He orchestr

LILIAN'S POV The words sent shockwaves of disbelief throughout the room. "The Grey Wardens?" Noah echoed, furrowing his brows in confusion. "I believed they were merely a tale." With a slow motion, Edgar sank into a chair, his face marked by age appearing unusually drained. For the first time since our initial encounter, he appeared genuinely disturbed. "They were never just a tale," he murmured softly. "It's just that no one had laid eyes on one in close to two decades." Darian carefully folded the scout's document and tucked it inside his jacket. "Share everything you know with us." Edgar closed his eyes for a brief moment, as if he were traversing through years of recollections. "When Blood Veil began, the first Alpha established an elite group of warriors." "They weren't selected based on their lineage." "They weren't chosen for their wealth." "They were selected solely for their unwavering loyalty to the Alpha." "They answered to no governing body." "The

LILIAN'S POV The forest exuded an unusual stillness. Only the consistent sound of hooves trotting along the narrow path and the intermittent rustling of leaves broke the tranquility of the morning. Rays of sunlight streamed through the lofty pines, casting ever-changing designs upon the ground, yet we did not pause to appreciate the landscape. Each rider maintained a heightened sense of awareness. Captain Elias, accompanied by two warriors, forged ahead as scouts, while Noah positioned himself at our rear guard. Darian remained next to me, standing tall, his gaze perpetually sweeping the treetops. Gabriel confidently guided us along trails that seemed invisible to the rest."William has eyes everywhere," Gabriel spoke, not glancing back. "Never think you're truly alone."Noah nodded in agreement. "We've experienced that firsthand."Edgar pushed his horse forward until he matched pace with Gabriel."How long has William been aware of the Grey Wardens?"Gabriel took a few moments to

LILIAN'S POV "Darian!" I shouted, but my cry was swallowed by the deafening roar of crumbling stone. Dust choked me, and I coughed hard as I stumbled forward. Visibility was almost zero. The shouts of warriors surrounded me; some pleaded for assistance while others frantically tried to shift debris with their hands. My heart raced so fiercely it felt painful. Darian had been right next to me. He had pushed me out of harm's way just before the ceiling fell, and now an immense pile of stones stood between us. "Darian!" I cried again, collapsing onto the ground beside the wreckage. My hands trembled as I began to claw away at the stones. A jagged edge sliced into my palm, but I brushed the pain aside. "Move!" Noah yelled from behind. "Liliana, get back!" "He’s trapped!" I shouted. "I know!" In a swift motion, Noah hurled a large chunk of wreckage away. Gabriel and two other warriors came to assist him, quickly shifting the stones aside. I continued to search for any sign of Darian.

LILIAN'S POV The words were completely incomprehensible. "What do you mean, our lineage isn't what everyone thought?" I inquired. Taryn’s eyes turned to Darian for a moment before settling back on me. "I’m not privy to the full story. William concealed much of it, even from the council. However, your mother uncovered something in the original documents." Adrian moved closer. "What did she find?" Taryn paused. "The first Alpha of Blood Veil was not merely an ordinary werewolf." Gabriel's face shifted instantly. "Be cautious." Taryn disregarded him. "He possessed a rare bloodline, one that vanished ages ago." My wolf stirred uneasily within me. A peculiar tightness gripped my chest, as if a part of me acknowledged the statement before my mind could grasp it. Darian recognized my reaction. "What bloodline?" Taryn shook his head. "That's the part I never found out." Adrian's fists tightened. "Then why are you wasting our time?" "Because William knows." Taryn's tone turned urgent.
