Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Lestat: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

“I love you, Lestat. You know I do. This is for you for us. Don’t you want our pack together again?”My mother’s grip sinks into my shoulders, fingers bruising. Her eyes, wild and bright, burn with a blue fire. People say I’ve got her eyes. Do I really look that fierce?The thought twists my stomach. I feel sick. Honestly, the last thing I want is to frighten anyone, least of all the girl I met here.I can’t bring myself to hit my mother. If I try, she’ll just tie my hands to this ancient wooden chair, too. For now, it’s just my chest and legs caught tight in these thick ropes. She ties knots like a fisherman, strong and secure. Maybe if I’d gone hunting with her before the family split, this would all be different. But the fights, the pack wars… Everything blew up. Now my parents are deep in a nasty divorce, and High Alpha Lestat’s father is forcing her out of the Adebayo Moonfang Pack.To stop it, she kidnapped me. She wanted to grab Magnus and Elijah, my brothers, but I fought her

Lady Genevieve Whitlock’s voice cuts right through the door, sharp and unforgiving. “I don’t know when her wolf will wake up. We can’t drag her to the Temple of the Sacred Moon Bond looking like a sick pup.”I stay perfectly still on the giant mattress, but I crack my eyes just the tiniest bit, scanning the room. It’s a huge suite inside Bloodmoon Sanctuary Lodge. Genevieve definitely paid for it with my share of the Moonfang Treasury. I don’t dare move or talk my head’s pounding from the silver juice the pack doctor gave me, all to keep me from shifting during the flight here.Tristan Whitlock’s voice booms through the phone. “Can’t we just give some gold to the elder at the temple?”Genevieve snaps, “And get thrown into the Council Judgment Hall?”“We have to hurry. Only six moons left before the prophecy,” Tristan pushes.“I know! You should’ve mated her when I told you!” Genevieve lets out a furious wolf growl. “Is it really so hard to nuzzle her neck and make her love you? She do

"Which way should I answer to get you to help me?" the strange girl asks, her mismatched eyes locked on mine.One eye is deep blue, and the other is a sharp forest green. My wolf thumps hard inside my ribs, scratching to get out. It is the exact same mismatched gaze as the Moon Queen. My heart hits my chest like a war drum, but I force my alpha logic to shut the feeling down. I have tracked down ten different female wolves with eyes like that across the territories. Every single one turned out to be an omega scammer trying to trick the High Alpha. There is no way this girl is my lost savior. The girl from my childhood was a brave little wolf, not a lunatic jumping off stone ledges."You do know the Great Hall has heavy wooden doors and wide stone hallways, right?" I growl, my voice deep and flat. "Normal wolves knock instead of swinging across mountain fangs."I look her over, wondering if Uncle Louis sent her to test my temper. I have only run with four female wolves in my life, but

"The heavy drums from the pack house are rattling my skull," Louis Adekunle shouts over the noise, leaning against the dark stone wall.One of our younger trackers from the Moonfang Alpha Council Chambers is celebrating his Ascension to Lead Tracker tonight. He rented out an entire underground tavern in the Mooncrest Territory for the pack party. I walk down the dark stone corridor, passing the polished obsidian walls that act like mirrors. My own wolf eyes flash a bright, angry amber in the reflection. I flinch and drop my gaze to the dirt floor. Every elder in the Adebayo Silverfang Bloodline says I carry my mother’s wild eyes. Every time I catch my reflection, I feel her crazed aura staring back at me, and the old burn mark on my arm begins to throb. The pack healer told me it was just a ghost pain in my mind, but it still makes my skin crawl.I ignore the pulsing ache. I need to focus on finding a female wolf to complete a Sacred Moonbond Union within thirty days, or the council w
