All Chapters of Where the Pack Ends: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Did you come here just to see me bleed out?" Leonidas growled low, his dark voice vibrating right through the floorboards.Astinos Silverclaw stepped past the threshold of the Alpha Throne Chamber, pushing a heavy metal cart laden with lunar cleansers and fresh bandages. The instant his eyes landed on the bloody, jagged tear along the Supreme Alpha's broad back, his breath caught. "My Lord! Has the bleeding finally slowed?"Leonidas shifted his cold, golden eyes straight toward me.My pulse spiked wildly. I squeezed my eyes shut for a split second, praying he wouldn't speak the truth out loud. Was this terrifying beast really going to tell his high physician that his wound reopened because I accidentally shoved him off my body while we were caught in an intense, mate-bond heat?Astinos wiped a drop of cold sweat from his forehead, looking between us with sharp, experienced eyes. He sighed softly, shaking his head. "Lady Gorgo, I understand the friction between you two, but the Suprem

"Get off me," I choked out, the hot tears finally breaking past my lashes and spilling onto the pelt.The crushing pressure on my spine suddenly vanished. Leonidas stood up in one fluid movement beside the bed, staring down at me with an icy, heartless glare. His golden eyes held no remaining heat, only a chilling, absolute disgust.He hated me. Looking at me wrapped in torn fabrics on his bed, he looked at me like I was a piece of filth dragged in from the Whispering Moon Woods.My heart shattered, a violent ache blooming in my chest. I scrambled backward, pulling the heavy pelt tightly around my bare shoulders, hiding my body at the very edge of the headboard."Do you think I genuinely desire your body, female?" Leonidas sneered, his voice smooth and cold as steel, laced with lethal contempt.I kept my jaw clamped shut, wiping my wet cheeks with the back of my hand, refusing to let him see me break completely."I am reminding you of your place," he growled, adjusting his dark leathe

"Why does your shirt smell like his scent?" Jackson Tianyou growled, his hand slamming into the heavy oak table inside our chamber at the Eclipse Moon Lodge.The silver coins I had extorted from Lin Xuesi heavy in my pouch burned against my thigh. I had barely stepped past the door frame, set our mid-day meal down, and locked the iron latch before Tianyou confronted me. He didn't care about the silver, and he didn't care about the young wolves I had crushed at the academy grounds. His ears were pinned back, his slitted dark eyes fixed entirely on the collar of my tunic."I didn't touch him," I said, my voice dropping as I pulled the bone dagger from my belt and set it beside the meat pies. "The Supreme Alpha King pulled his transport up to the lodge gate right as I returned. Aspen Li opened the door. Leonidas didn't even step onto the gravel.""He doesn't need to step onto the gravel to mark you, Gorgo!" Tianyou snapped, his scarred chest heaving under his silver-threaded bandages. Th

"Get your hands off me, you brute!" Su Xiaomi shrieked, her knuckles white as she slammed her fist into Aspen Li’s broad chest, the sound echoing off the narrow walls of the guest chamber.Aspen Li backed up a step, his cheeks burning a violent shade of red under his scarred Alpha hide, though his hand still hovered unsteadily in the air. "I didn't mean to grab—you were twisting like a trapped pup! I was trying to keep the noble scribes from spotting your scent!""You put your hand right on my chest, Aspen!" Xiaomi yelled, pulling her torn leather tunic tight over her heart, her cheeks flushed, her wolf bristling beneath her skin. "I don't care if you're the Supreme Alpha’s personal Beta, you don't get to touch me like that!""I was protecting you!" Aspen snapped back, his jaw tight as he shoved his hands into his tactical belt, though his eyes darted down for a split second before snapping back up. "If I hadn't dragged you through that door, those academy females would have stripped

I sit by the edge of the Moonstone Tavern’s carved wooden bench, my heart racing against my ribs as I watch Ye Fangfang glide through the pack square.She has her dark hair straightened to her waist today, wearing a plain white tunic without a single smudge of war paint or silver ash. To the young wolves from the Lunar Crown Academy, she looks like a pure, gentle moon-blessed female."Look at her pretending," Su Xiaomi mutters next to me, her claws twitching beneath her sleeves. "She acts like she didn't just spread lie after lie about your lunar bond to the whole Sparta Moonhaven territory.""Let her play her game, Xiaomi," I answer, keeping my voice steady while my wolf stirs with quiet, burning fury. "A wolf who hides behind a sheep's skin eventually forgets how to fight."Before Xiaomi can reply, three young males from the Silvermoon Academies step into our path, their heavy boots thudding against the cobblestones."Where do you think you're going, rejected moonborn?" the lead mal
