Biting the King: A Rogue’s Second Sunrise のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

"Azel, get your collar off the console and answer me." Tavian’s voice hissed through the frequency, sharp enough to cut. "Why did you ignore my mind-link?"Azel didn't blink. He kept his fingers steady, packing his tactical crates. "Because I didn't want to hear your voice, Tavian. It’s really that simple.""You think this is a game?" The door hissed open. Tavian stood there, chest heaving, his alpha-lite frequency vibrating the air. "Look at yourself. You’re standing in the middle of Whitmore Moonkeep acting like a rogue wolf. Lower your hackles."Azel tossed a pair of training leathers into the bin. "Try coming up with some fresh commands, brother. I'm exhausted by the script.""Nyra needs that slot in the Bloodmoon Trials Arena. She needs the pack exposure. What damage does it do to your standing if you step aside?""I earned that spot with my own claws." Azel turned, his gaze dropping like a hammer. "The Moon Seer himself sanctioned my placement. I am not relinquishing my hunt jus

"Azel, you cannot simply sever a blood covenant and assume the pack will ignore your rebellion. I was the sentry who lost your scent trail in the eastern borderlands fourteen years ago, and I have carried that guilt through every full moon since. But this reckless defiance is not the answer.""Save your late-night guilt rituals for the pack fires, Darius. Your negligence handed me over to the slave-traders, but my master washed that weakness out of my pelt. I am no longer your victim, and I have absolutely zero interest in fighting your precious little omega for a scrap of validation.""Think very carefully about your next step, Azel. If you walk out of the Whitmore Moonkeep today, the Lunar Veil Dominion will lock your digital credentials. You will not receive a single contract, a single carcass, or a single scrap of territorial backing from our agency.""The Dominion can launch a full boycott against your name across every territory on the continent if you do not submit to the Alpha

"Azel, lower your mental walls and hand over your private access encryption keys right now. The Lunar Veil Dominion needs full administrative control of your profile before the digital broadcast begins.""You lost that administrative privilege the moment I walked out of the Moonkeep, Malachi. The encryption keys are changed, and the account is entirely under my personal control.""Do not act like an irrational rogue, Azel. I am the chief strategist of the Dominion. Without my public relations team managing your feed, the alpha factions will tear your reputation apart on the MoonNet Circle.""Your public relations team spent the last twelve moons watching the rival packs roast my inner wolf alive without ever deploying a single counter-frequency, brother. I can handle the feedback without your corporate filters.""The pack forum is already heavily compromised, Azel. The comments are utterly venomous.""I am well aware of what the Thornhart scouts and the Whitmore loyalists are posting

AZEL WHITMORE POV"If the Nightcrest lineage believes a simple transport pod landing constitutes a dramatic entrance, you are severely mistaken, Ronan."The digital feed on the MoonNet Circle is completely exploding with data streams the second Ronan Nightcrest steps onto the staging ground. I scan the interface, watching the public comments roll in at a rapid pace.'I cannot believe the production warlords actually secured Zeus for this cycle! This arena team has incredible political reach.''No wonder his transponder was kept confidential until the final landing sequence. He is absolutely the ultimate apex predator of this entire broadcast.''Of course he is the main event! Both Ezekiel and Zeus possess millions of devoted pack-followers across the northern sectors.''Huge praise to the arena council for bringing our dear Zachy into the combat zone! He usually completely avoids self-promotion and territory displays.''Ahem! Considering Zachy's highly selective, high-maintenance temp

AZEL WHITMORE POV"Darius, my feet hurt so bad, please help me with these heavy tracking boots.""I am right here, Nyra, let me slide them onto your feet so you do not touch the sharp stones.""Look at how great Darius is to his little brother! They have the best relationship in the whole arena. I wish my big brother took care of me like that instead of biting my tail every day!""Yes, the other pack-followers on the MoonNet Circle are so jealous. They all want an alpha brother who spoils them like a little prince.""Let go of my tunic, Darius, it is getting dirty in the mud.""I will hold the back of your white cloth so it does not drag on the dirt path, Nyra. Just keep walking up the mountain.""This long tracking dress is too heavy! My legs feel so bad right now. I need to sit down on this rock.""We just walked for thirty minutes, Zinnia! Can you not keep moving like Azel and Keira?""I am fine, Darius. I can keep going. I do not need a break.""The production crew says we can res
