Semua Bab The Alpha's Unexpected Mate: Bab 31 - Bab 40

Elder Jabari Adebayo and Nia Bello’s father, who were seated nearby discussing territory trade lines, paused their heavy conversation to look over at us, their old faces clearly filled with deep concern for the family bloodline.Seth presses his lips together into a hard, straight line, his golden eyes dimming. "No."The bright light of hope in Tade’s eyes fades out to nothing in an instant, and his weight drops straight back onto the leather sofa like a stone. "My wolf is completely finished... It is all over for my territory position..."Elder Jabari lets out a heavy, sorrowful sigh from his chair. "The young Henderson boy fell into a deep coma today inside the hospital dens. It took the doctors ages to revive his breathing with the machines. His alpha mother stormed into our territory house earlier, completely furious with rage. She stated clearly that if her son dies from the wounds, Tade must follow him straight to the graveyard to pay the blood debt."Offended by the threat, Viv

"By the day after tomorrow," I blurt out fast, not really thinking the timeline through. "My wolf will have a final answer for your den right after the SAT warrior exams."Seth lets out a long, heavy sigh that shakes his chest. That long just for a basic answer? A big part of his dominant wolf wanted to deny my mind the time to think. I was his official mate by pack law—shouldn't that mean something to my body? Shouldn't my skin already belong to his bed? Still, forcing an outcast boy wouldn't feel nearly as good to his alpha pride as if my wolf came to his arms on his own. With obvious reluctance hanging over his muscles, Seth steps back from the mattress. He gets off the high bed, changes his skin into a fresh pair of black leather training pants, and stretches his giant frame out on the small living room sofa. It was the first time his alpha name had ever been banished from his own master bed—and by his own male mate, no less. The thought stings his pride more than his mouth cares

My lips curl into a smirk. "Relax your fur, driver. My wolf will not cling to King Seth's coat."Paulina’s eyes widen in a worried flash. "Mrs. Adebayo, please do not let this basic idiot get to your head."Paulina wanted to say more words to calm my wolf down, but the phone inside my tunic pocket buzzes hard, cutting her speech off.Glancing down at the glass screen, my eyes see Vivian Mensah’s name flashing, and my fingers pick up the call. "Hello?"Vivian’s voice drips with pure smugness through the line. "Rapha, do you honestly think your rogue body can overshadow Amara with just an empty marriage title? Keep dreaming in your dirty den! Amara has just made a powerful, deadly comeback in the city, and his wolf is completely unstoppable now. Get ready to crash and burn into the dirt—this time, your name is going down for good!" With that final bark, Vivian hangs up the phone.My lips curl into a knowing, sharp smirk in the back seat. That random call was a straight-up battle cry fro

With both Elder Jabari and King Seth out of sight in the upper offices, the relatives in the room dropped their polite act instantly. Dark eyes narrowed in my direction, and Tade sneered loudly from his seat. "You think that unranked rogue will outperform your brain? Please. His wolf is lucky if his paper didn't come in dead last in the entire territory."Irene shot me a smug look, her smile edged with pure mockery, before going completely out of her way to act intimately with Trinity right in front of my boots, making it look like their claws were teaming up to push my body out of the household. "So, Trinity, now that the academy exams are behind our backs, what is the next tactical move for your future?"Trinity gave a dramatic little sigh, adjusting his silk shirt. "The Henderson boy's critical condition has been on my mind lately. I have decided to apply directly to the Valoria Ridge Medical University to see if my skills can help Tade with his medical treatment."Tade’s face lit

That single answer is enough to leave the old elder completely satisfied with his plan.At the dinner table, the grand hall stays very quiet as every wolf focuses on their roasted meat. Out of nowhere, the old butler walks into the room carrying a steaming ceramic bowl and sets it down right beside Seth’s plate.Tade squints his eyes at the liquid in total surprise. "What is that soup? Why is King Seth the only alpha getting a special bowl tonight?"Today, the pack dinner had an oddly tense feeling that no young wolf could quite name. Everyone had expected my body to come down the stairs looking totally scared after the elder's scolding, but my face appears completely calm, almost peaceful—and Seth, for his part, acts no differently than his usual dominant self. The massive contrast between their expectations and the reality leaves the relatives totally baffled, each wondering what exactly Elder Jabari said to our names behind closed doors. Was my rogue wolf now allowed to join the me
