Semua Bab Alpha King’s One Night Mate: Bab 31 - Bab 40

CHAPTER 32 The news of Elder Magnus’s advance spread through the Blackwood Sanctuary before sunrise, carrying with it a silence far more frightening than panic. Warriors who had spent years preparing for battle suddenly found themselves facing a name whispered only in stories. Magnus was not simply an elder of the Alpha Council. He was the commander who had crushed rebellions, destroyed rival Packs, and forced even the strongest Alphas to kneel before the Council’s authority. His arrival meant one thing.The Council had stopped treating Damien as an Alpha who could still be reasoned with , they now considered him an enemy.The atmosphere inside the Sanctuary changed almost instantly. The clang of steel echoed through the training grounds as warriors sharpened their weapons, while armored vehicles disappeared into the surrounding forest to reinforce hidden checkpoints. Every entrance was sealed, every patrol doubled. The peaceful mountain refuge Aria had begun to know transformed into

CHAPTER 34 The revelation crept through the command hall like a thick fog, causing one person to speak. The intelligence file remained on the table between Damien, Lucas, and Adrian, yet it felt heavier than any weapon lying inside the Sanctuary’s armory.Someone inside Blackwood had betrayed them.Not months ago. Not years ago, but recently. Otherwise, the Alpha Council could never have discovered the underground escape tunnels passageways known only to the Alpha King, his Betas, and a handful of trusted warriors who had sworn blood oaths to protect the Blackwood lineage.Damien slowly closed the file. His expression revealed nothing, but Lucas had served beside him long enough to recognize the dangerous calm settling over him.Whenever Damien became this quiet…someone always paid the price.Lucas drew a slow breath before speaking. “The spy inside Mooncrest has never given us false information.”Adrian remained standing near the map table, his eyes fixed on the mountain routes s

CHAPTER 36: The alarm bells echoed through the Blackwood Sanctuary before sunrise, the deep, relentless toll shattered the quiet that usually blanketed the mountains, sending warriors rushing from every corridor and courtyard. Within moments, torches flickered to life along the stone walls as soldiers armed themselves, expecting an attack from beyond the gates.Instead…the enemy had already been inside.Lucas was the first to reach the northern corridor where the body had been discovered. The young guard lay motionless against the cold stone floor, his eyes still open, his expression frozen in shock. There were no signs of struggle. No broken furniture. No overturned weapons.Only a thin crimson line across his throat, it was a precise cut. Professional, the kind that killed before the victim had time to scream.Adrian crouched beside the body, studying every detail without touching it. Years in the military had taught him that the smallest clue often carried the greatest truth.“He n

CHAPTER 38 The command room fell silent. No one moved nor spoke.The messenger’s words lingered in the air like an omen. A newborn… wearing the royal crest of House Blackwood.Damien slowly rose from behind his desk, his expression betraying nothing, but Lucas recognized the warning signs. Whenever Damien became this composed, it meant his mind was already several steps ahead of everyone else.He didn’t ask questions.He simply walked toward the Sanctuary gates.Lucas and Adrian followed immediately.Snow continued to fall over the mountains, covering the stone pathways in a blanket of white. By the time they reached the main entrance, nearly every guard stationed nearby had gathered in uneasy silence.No one dared touch the child.An old wicker basket rested just outside the iron gates, shielded from the snow beneath a thick wool blanket embroidered with the ancient Blackwood crest.The baby wasn’t crying.Instead, the tiny infant slept peacefully, completely unaware o

CHAPTER 40 The monastery courtyard was steeped in the kind of silence that only ancient stone could hold. Moonlight spilled across cracked flagstones and the low, weathered walls that had witnessed centuries of secrets. Adrian Blackwood stood frozen at the edge of the shadows, every muscle locked, every instinct screaming that what he was seeing could not be real.The woman stepped fully into the light, she moved with the same fluid precision he remembered from six years ago, shoulders squared, chin lifted, eyes sharp as a blade. Her dark hair was shorter now, pulled back in a severe knot that revealed the elegant line of her neck. A thin scar traced the left side of her jaw, one that had not been there the last time he saw her alive. She wore simple black combat gear, the kind designed for silence and speed, but nothing could disguise the presence that had once made her one of the Blackwood Pack’s most brilliant warriors and intelligence officers.Selene Voss.Adria
