บททั้งหมดของ Alpha Bratva: บทที่ 101 - บทที่ 110

Dimitri:By the time I reached the estate, the fight had already spread across the main grounds.Smoke rolled above the rooftops in thick, black ribbons that stained the evening sky. The smell hit me before I crossed the last line of trees… blood, burning wood, and the metallic tang of too many wolves in one place. My wolf was at the surface, furious and raw, but I forced myself to think. Because I knew that if I chose to charge in blind, I wouldn’t be helping anyone… neither Alina nor the pack.I could feel her through the bond.Alive. Terrified. Moving.That was all I needed to know.Mate.“I am right here, baby.” I said to the bond, as I reached the edge of the main courtyard. Bones barely settled, I was already barking orders.“Get everyone who isn’t fighting into the eastern hall! Keep the fire away from the main house and get the injured inside!” I called, looking around at the men who were already fighting.A guard turned toward me, blood streaking his temple. “Alpha, there are

Asher:Ivan came back just before midnight, and the way he moved told me everything I needed to know before he opened his mouth.There’s a difference between a man who has done what he was told and a man who believes he has earned his way out of punishment. The latter walks taller, relief softens the face, and even fear looks different. Ivan had none of that. He stumbled into my office with his shirt torn, dried blood dark along one sleeve, and a breath that still sounded like he’d been running. Daren closed the door behind him and waited in the shadow. I stayed where I was, hands folded on the desk, calm.Calm unnerved him more than fury would have.“Alpha…” he started.I lifted a hand. He stopped. For a long second I simply watched him. He searched my face for the explosion he expected, the roar that would make him feel small and punished. When it didn’t come, his shoulders sagged a fraction. The fool actually thought that meant he was safe.“You went to Dimitri’s territory,” I said

Dimitri:Alina had been quiet for too long. That was the thing that worried me most.She sat on the edge of the bed with her hands clasped so tightly the knuckles were white, staring at nothing. The room hummed around us, but through the bond I felt everything she refused to say: pain, confusion, a weight of anger that had stopped burning and settled into something heavier.I moved to her and crouched until we were eye level. “Alina,” I said softly. “I know that you are lost in your thoughts, but I need you to talk to me, baby.”She didn’t answer. Her eyes lifted slowly, dry and raw in a way that made my chest tighten. I reached for her hands and eased them apart when I noticed how hard her nails had been digging into her palms. Her fingers relaxed into mine. I rubbed my thumb across her knuckles and waited. I didn’t want to push. I also knew her well enough now to know that if I left her alone with this, she would find a way to shoulder blame that wasn’t hers.“Asher wanted this,” sh

Asher:Daren had been quiet for most of the drive. That should have told me everything I needed to know.He wasn’t the sort to stay silent when he thought something was a bad idea. Usually he waited until we were already committed, then explained every possible way it could go wrong. Tonight he’d held himself back for almost twenty minutes. Almost.The Volkov territory lay ahead, dark and familiar. I kept my hands on the wheel and my eyes on the road while he finally said it.“This is a bad idea.” He muttered, looking away from me.I didn’t look at him. “You waited long enough to say it.”“I was hoping you’d realize it yourself.” He said, raising an eyebrow, clearly not liking the situation was it was.He met my gaze. That was why I kept him close, Daren knew when to fear me and when fear was less useful than honesty. Tonight I had little patience for either.“You sent Ivan,” he continued. “He failed. You had his head delivered to Alina. You attacked Volkov territory. Dimitri already k

Dimitri:“Do you really think that you can challenge me and just get away with it, Alina?” Asher asked darkly. And it took everything in me not to break the bastard’s face, but I knew that she needed this closure, and because of that, I forced myself to stand down.“I don’t aim to challenge you, Asher. You took something from me, and now, it is my turn to take something from you…” she said, making Asher frown.“Are you threatening me?”“Not really, no.” She said, giving him the coldest smile a person could muster.“And what do you aim to take from me, Omega?” He asked, mocking her. She simply crossed her arms over her chest, taking a step forward as she looked him dead in the eye, and the moment Alina spoke, the air in the courtyard shifted.“Your life…”It was a small sentence, but it landed like a stone. Asher’s arrogance flickered, not fear yet, but the first crack in the mask. My wolf saw it before my mind did.Alina stood a few paces ahead of me, shoulders squared, eyes dark with
