Semua Bab Betrayed By My Mate, Now Mated To Three : Bab 81 - Bab 90

Kael's POVI never imagined I would lead Council wolves into battle.Yet here I stood at the entrance to the corrupted nest with fifty warriors behind me. Half wore Phoenix Pack colors. The other half bore Council insignia.Enemies united by necessity. The irony was not lost on anyone."Remember the plan." I kept my voice low. "We go in quiet. Map the interior. Find the captives. Then signal for the main force."Kade nodded from my left. His specialists were scattered through the group. Silent killers trained for exactly this kind of mission.To my right stood Marcus, a Council commander who had probably dreamed of killing me a month ago. Now he checked his weapons with professional efficiency."How deep does this go?" Marcus studied the cave entrance. Dark stone swallowed all light beyond the first few feet."Scouts estimate three levels." I pulled out the map Evander had provided. "Captives are likely on the lowest level. That is where they would keep the transformation chambers.""

   Lilian's POV I watched Kade nearly die from the shadows. Watched the guardian pin him. Watched corrupted claws press against his throat. Watched the moment he accepted death. And I realized I could not let it happen. Not like this. Not when I could stop it. So I moved. Fast. Silent. The way Viktor taught me before everything went wrong. My blade found the guardian's heart. Pierced corrupted flesh and ended a life that should have ended years ago. Riven beat me to the kill by seconds. But I had been there. Ready. Willing to save the wolf I once tried to destroy. The irony was not lost on me. Now I stood at the cave entrance watching the team prepare for retreat. Watching them load freed captives and organize defenses. They had no idea I was here. No idea I

 Sabine's POV I woke up screaming Lilian's name. The healing room spun around me. Sweat soaked through my sheets. My heart hammered so hard I thought it might break through my ribs. "Sabine." Mira appeared beside my bed instantly. "You are safe. You are in the healing wing." "Lilian." I gripped her arm. "She is dying. I saw it. The pass. Corrupted everywhere. She is dying." "That is just a nightmare." Mira tried to ease me back down. "You have been unconscious for days. Your mind is playing tricks." "No." I threw off the blankets. Stood on shaking legs. "It is not a nightmare. It is happening right now." The bond with my mates pulsed weakly. I felt their exhaustion. Their fear. They were in danger and I had been lying here uselessly while they fought. "You cannot leave." Mira blocked my path. "Your body i

  Riven's POV Waking up felt like being born again. My eyes opened to the healing wing. Familiar stone walls. The scent of herbs and antiseptic. Kael's worried face hovering above me. But everything felt different. Sharper. More vivid. Like I had been seeing the world through fog and someone finally cleared it away. "Riven." Kael's voice cracked with relief. "You are really back." "I am back." I sat up slowly. My body felt strange. Stronger. Every muscle hummed with barely contained energy. "How long was I gone?" "Four days." Sabine appeared beside Kael. She looked exhausted but her eyes shone with happiness. "Four very long days." Four days. In the ancestral realm, it felt like weeks. Maybe months. Time moved so differently there. I flexed my hands. Remembered every technique the spirits tau

Kael's POVI had coordinated diplomatic summits that lasted weeks.I had negotiated treaties between packs who hated each other for generations.But nothing in my life prepared me for organizing a coordinated assault involving twelve different packs, Council forces, and Nightbane warriors against five separate targets simultaneously.The logistics alone were nightmarish."Supply lines need redundancy." I pointed to the map spread across the war table. "If one route gets cut off, we need alternatives immediately."Marcus from the Council nodded. Made notes. "Three supply routes per strike team. Understood.""Communication is critical." I moved to another section of the map. "Every team needs runners. Fast wolves who can relay messages if the corrupted jam our other methods.""How do we know they can jam communications?" An Alpha from Silver Creek Pack asked."We do not," I admitted. "But we plan for it anyway. Hope for the best. Prepare for the worst."The war room buzzed with activity
