Ruined by my Bully Stepbrother의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

Theodora's POVI could not let Nate stay behind.The thought of him trapped here. Alone in this nightmare realm. Going slowly mad like those survivors. It destroyed me. Ripped me apart. The mate bond screamed against the idea. Rejected it with every fiber of my being."No," I said again. Firmer. Louder. "Nate you are not staying. I refuse. I will find another way.""There is no other way." The creature spoke with my father's voice now and it gutted me. "The Dawnblade requires balance. To take its power from this realm you must leave something equally powerful behind. A life. A soul. An anchor to maintain equilibrium.""Then take me." Aurora stepped forward. Resolute. Determined. "I have lived thousands of years. Seen empires rise and fall. I would not mind the rest. My sacrifice means less than theirs.""You are needed," Emily argued. Moving beside her. "You have knowledge. Wisdom. Experience we cannot replace. It should be me. I only recently awakened. I am less skilled. Less valuabl

Theodora's POVThe word hung in the air like a death sentence.Now. We would face the Eternal Night now. Use the Dawnblade now. Possibly die now. My heart hammered against my ribs. Too fast. Too hard. I was eighteen years old and I might have minutes left to live."We need to convene the Council first," Selene said quickly. "Get approval. Coordinate with the other packs. This affects everyone.""There is no time," I argued. But even as I spoke doubt crept in. Was I rushing? Was I scared enough to be reckless?"An hour." Selene insisted. "Give me one hour to gather the Council. To make this official. You owe them that much."I looked at Nate. He nodded slightly. One hour would not doom us. Would not save us either. But protocol mattered. Unity mattered."Fine." I agreed. "One hour."The Council chamber filled rapidly. Every Silver Wolf. Every alpha. Representatives from allied packs. The room buzzed with tension. Fear. Desperation. Everyone knew what we faced. Everyone knew the stakes.

Theodora's POVThe world tilted beneath me.Everything we had done. Every sacrifice. Every risk. All of it meaningless. The Dawnblade was not salvation but damnation. A weapon designed by the enemy to consume heroes. To feed on hope itself."You are lying," I said. Voice shaking. Desperate. "The Moon Mother would not allow this. Would not let us be deceived.""The Moon Mother." The Eternal Night laughed. Infinite. Mocking. "Is silent. Has been silent for centuries. Where do you think she went? I consumed her realm long ago. Ate her followers. Drank her power. She cannot help you. No one can."The words hit like physical blows. The Moon Mother. Gone. Consumed. We were truly alone."If Dora had activated the blade." Aurora's voice was ice. Fury barely contained. "What would have happened?""She would have died." The entity answered. Pleased. Satisfied. "Her essence channeled through the weapon. Fed directly to me. Making me stronger. Hastening your world's end. It is beautiful really. H

 Theodora's POV The darkness came for me like death itself. Concentrated. Absolute. A spear of pure annihilation aimed at my heart. I could not dodge. Could not block. Could only watch my ending approach. Time slowed. I thought of Nate. Of Mom. Of everyone I loved. Everyone I would leave behind. The regret crushed me but I accepted it. This was my fate. My sacrifice. Then Nate moved. Faster than possible. He threw himself between me and the darkness. Took the hit meant for me. "NO." The scream tore from my throat. Raw. Agonized. The spear struck him center mass. Drove through. Should have killed him instantly. Should have consumed him like it tried to consume me. But something impossible happened instead. The mate bond flared. Not gently. Not softly. It exploded. Every connection between us activated simultaneously. His wolf

  Theodora's POV Pregnant. The word echoed in my mind. Over and over. Refusing to feel real. I was eighteen years old. Had just graduated high school. Barely processed my father's death. Survived the apocalypse. And now I was going to be a mother. Terror did not begin to describe what I felt. "Dora." Nate's voice pulled me back. Gentle. Concerned. "Breathe. You need to breathe." I realized I was hyperventilating. Gasping. Panicking. His hands cupped my face. Grounding me. Anchoring me. I focused on his grey eyes. On the love there. On the absolute certainty. "We have been careful." I managed. Voice shaking. "Used protection. How did this happen?" "Silver Wolf physiology is different," Yuki explained softly. "Especially after what you two did. The merger. The mate bond. It accelerated everything. Made conception a
