All Chapters of Broken By My Alpha Mate: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Rachel's POV Finally, I stepped out of the holding cell into the precinct’s secured rear courtyard and found Silas leaning against his Maybach."Thank you..." I mumbled and my inner wolf flattened its ears in absolute awkwardness.In my wildest dreams, I had never expected a High Alpha of his caliber to personally oversee my release."Am I making you late for the Pack Association banquet?" I asked softly with my voice barely above the hum of the engine.Silas turned his head slowly and his gaze locked onto my trembling frame. He held my eyes for a lingering beat before answering smoothly, "No."The heavy doors clicked shut as we took our seats in the back of the luxury vehicle. As the Maybach glided out of the precinct gates, Silas broke the silence with his tone deceptively casual. "Why did you strike the Cross heir today?""I just... my wolf lost control." I forced a bitter smile while staring out the reinforced window. I didn't want to dive into the dark depths of my history. I ha

Rachel's POV The hostility in the air instantly turned freezing.Elena froze and her eyes snapped to Silas. I froze and shrank further behind Silas’s broad shoulders. I hadn't expected him to openly challenge another Alpha for my sake, especially not in a room full of their peers."Alpha Blackwood..." Daniel began and his wolf bristled as he stepped forward to defend his future mate. But the moment his dark eyes met my gaze, the words died in his throat.His face darkened instantly and his jaw clenched as he fought to keep his beast from tearing through his facade.This version of me was completely foreign to him.I had been under his command for four years, from the age of 19 to 23. He had always known I was beautiful and he had intentionally kept me hidden. To him, I was a submissive creature meant for his private quarters. I was the perfect, soothing balm to calm his raging Alpha temper after a long day of pack duties.But now, the fragile Omega he had kept caged in his estate h

Rachel's POV At Crestwood Lycan Academy, the air was charged with the sharp scents of young wolves fighting for dominance.I still hadn't returned to my duties at the Vance Pack Enterprises. I was bitter about it and the pack treasury still owed me half a month's worth of labor credits. To make ends meet, I had pawned the designer leather bag I had bought on a whim using Alpha Daniel's monetary gift. I wired the entirety of the funds made from the sale directly to the sanctuary for the orphaned pups.Not long after the transfer, Laura called me.Laura was the matron of the orphan sanctuary, a fierce but aging she-wolf who had dedicated her life to caring for the pups no pack wanted. It was a small, low-profile refuge tucked away on the neutral borders. Most of the children there were born with weak wolves with physical disabilities or scarring from territorial border wars. Laura constantly scraped for rare medicinal herbs to soothe their volatile humors."You sent more credits, didn'

Rachel's POV When I got back to the small cottage on the edge of the pack lands, Daniel was already there. He was lounging on the worn sofa waiting for me."Don't you think you've gone too far?" he asked and looked around the cramped space. "You even moved out of the packhouse. Is this how you protest my decisions now?"I stepped toward him with my throat dry and my voice hoarse. "You're giving that abroad Council training spot back, right? I told you about the Elder's apprenticeship six months ago. You knew how much it meant to me. You promised."I dropped to my knees in front of him, staring straight into his eyes with my entire body rigid. I had reminded him over and over, but every single time, he would brush it off like a meaningless Omega whim.Daniel hesitated. For a split second, a flicker of guilt flashed across his handsome features, but his Alpha pride kept him from admitting he was wrong. "It's just a spot in a foreign pack’s training program," he muttered under his breat

Rachel's POV Crestwood AcademyI walked into the Elder Council's office by myself, my chin held high despite the overwhelming aura of the Elders that always intimidated me."Rachel, the Academy Council has already made its decision. The Elite Placement is going to Annabelle," my advisor, Master Robin, said cautiously. "Try not to dwell on it. As compensation, the Alpha local representative is offering you a guaranteed spot in the inner-pack guard here." He was clearly trying to smooth things over. Everyone in the territory knew Rachel should have gotten that placement."There were four sacred placements. The Academy decree stated they would go strictly by combat and trial scores," I said and pulled out a copy of the pack laws. "It clearly says top scorers get the first pick. I ranked number one in the trials and I didn't get any of them?"Master Robin glanced around nervously and his eyes darted toward the heavy wooden doors. He lowered his voice to let out a hint of his Beta dominan
