All Chapters of Broken By My Alpha Mate: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Rachel's POV"Don't try to prove anything to them. Don't fall into their trap." Silas's powerful arms tightened around me, pinning me securely against his heartbeat. His tone was low, deliberate, and heavy with Alpha authority. "Rachel, look at me. If you want to stand undefeated, you cannot let yourself be swayed by their barking. What they're doing is entirely intentional. They are manipulating public opinion to break your spirit, their ultimate goal is to make me abandon you."Silas understood the brutal politics of the packs perfectly. By slandering me in such a public, humiliating way, Daniel hoped to force the proud Blackwood bloodline to completely cut ties with a "tainted" rogue. Once that happened, I would be entirely alone again, isolated, powerless and stripped of the Alpha protection that threatened his sister.It was a psychological siege to make me withdraw the assault case, to stop pursuing the monsters who had broken me four years ago and to let Cassidy, Aaron, and San

Rachel's POV "You don't need to deal with him and you can't. His entire goal right now is to force a reaction from you. The moment you respond, you give him exactly the leverage he wants. Ignore him. Keep your distance," Silas said, his voice dropping into that steady, unmovable Alpha register. He looked down at me, his golden eyes anchoring mine. "Focus on your studies and your Strawford courses. As long as you show him that you care, his beast will keep acting like a cornered, dangerous animal."I was silent for a long moment, letting his words settle over my frantic thoughts until my inner wolf finally gave a quiet whine of submission. Silas was right. Responding to Daniel would only validate his desperate attempt to drag me back into his territory.Back in my guest suite, I sat on the edge of the large bed with my phone clamped in my hand, my fingers instinctively scrolling through the trending supernatural feed once more.To my surprise, Daniel’s calculated strike was already

Rachel's POV "None of your damn business! Stop mocking me, you rogue!" Anna stiffened instantly, her scent turning sour with deep humiliation as her eyes flooded with sudden, angry tears. She quickly bowed her head, aggressively shoveling a spoonful of porridge into her mouth out of pure, defensive spite.I could tell something was profoundly wrong with Anna's inner wolf. Her scent was muted, trembling with a fragile, submissive panic that she was trying desperately to mask behind her usual explosive temper."You've been seeing someone, haven't you?" I asked softly, remembering the terrifying rumble of Silas's voice the night before when he brought up her school violations. "If something happened out there, if any high-ranking pack boy is bothering you or pressuring you, you can always tell Silas. He’s an Alpha, Anna. He protects his own."Anna's head snapped up, her eyes blazing with a dangerous, volatile amber light. "Mind your own damn business, rogue! Don't you dare whisper a s

Rachel's POV Tears welled up and fell rapidly down her flushed cheeks. In that breaking moment, the truth lay bare.She didn't actually hate me. She was just terrified of losing the only sense of security and family she had ever known in her life. She was scared that because Silas had gotten married, he would fall in love with a new mate and discard the old remnants of his past."Silas won't fall in love with me, Anna," I said quietly, lowering my gaze to the pavement.Though, as the absolute truth of those words left my lips, I didn't know why a sharp, sudden ache flared deep within my chest.Maybe it was because I was too clear-headed to know that Silas would never truly fall in love with a damaged rogue like me. We had met far too late, our paths crossing only after the world had already chewed me up and spat me out. If only we had known each other earlier, before my nineteen-year-old self had ever crossed paths with Daniel... how vastly different things might have been."Really?

Rachel's POVDaniel stared at me, thoroughly rattled. For the first time since his Alpha-heir training, he looked completely stripped of his composure. He had to admit, even to his own guilty conscience, that I had never spent recklessly, and I had never shifted my burdens onto his treasury. Calling our history a "transactional keeping" was a foul lie that went far over the line of pack honor."Rachel, there's no need to quibble over pennies. A pack less girl like you from a broke orphanage,staying in a high-ranking Alpha's nest for years, is disgraceful in itself," Elena stepped in the moment she felt Daniel’s silence was stretching too long. She frowned, her scent spiking with a sharp, venomous pheromone.They had agreed on this strategy before arriving, first, destroy my reputation entirely so the proud Blackwood Elders would force Silas to abandon me. Then, isolated and terrified of the Lycan tribunal, I would obediently crawl back and sign the letter of leniency for Cassidy a
