All Chapters of BETRAYED, REBORN, RETURNED: THE RISE OF THE FEMALE ALPHA : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

The hall fell silent as the wealthy guests stared in disbelief. Roman was a powerful Beta, a man of great status who still commanded respect across the mainland despite the Crescent Pack’s decline. His word carried weight, and his alliances ran deep.Yet here he stood with his head bowed, apologizing to Valkira.The woman they had mocked as an outcast and nobody, the one they had believed dead for five years, now stood before them. Whispers spread through the crowd."Who is she really?""Why would Roman bow to her?""Something is wrong here. This doesn't make sense."Joye stepped forward with a pale face and a shaky voice. “Alpha Roman, you must be mistaken. This woman is—”Roman’s head snapped up, and his glare silenced her instantly.She froze, unable to get another word out. Her hands trembled at her sides as Roman looked at her.“Enough,” he said sharply.He turned to face the room, his eyes moving across the crowd as if daring anyone to challenge him.“I’m announcing this here

The mansion was quiet except for the crackling fire and ticking clock. Gamma Joseph stood by the oak table with the phone pressed to his ear, his face tense as the family watched him anxiously. Joseph gripped the edge of the table, his knuckles white as the wood creaked beneath his weight. “Such a small matter doesn’t need the personal attention of Alpha Dominic, the leader of the Bloodmoon Pack,” Joseph said smoothly, though sweat had already formed on his forehead and his voice betrayed his fear. The voice on the other end turned deadly. "I shouldn't have trusted your family in the first place." Joseph’s stomach dropped. He tightened his grip on the receiver and lowered his voice. “My son Johnson found something important, Alpha. Roman is only helping Valkira because he believes she saved his life. If we pressure Leon, the pharmacist, we can make him reveal the truth and break Roman’s loyalty to her.” A long silence followed. Victoria leaned forward, trying to hear what was b

A young man in a suit came running toward the guards, sweat dripping from his forehead. He was the junior manager. The guards stopped dragging Lucien and looked at him uncertainly.“Release him at once!” he ordered.The manager pushed past the guards and helped Lucien to his feet. With shaking hands, he brushed the dust from Lucien’s coat. “I’m so sorry, sir. Please forgive them. They had no idea who you were.”Lucien shoved him aside, as pain and rage twisted his face.The manager quickly bowed. “Please don’t take offense, sir. The Silvermoon Pack is highly respected here. This was all a terrible misunderstanding.”Lucien turned toward Valkira, hatred burning in his eyes. He pointed a trembling finger at her.“I’ll find out exactly where you live, and you’ll pay dearly for this!”Leon stepped forward with his fists clenched, but Valkira raised a hand and shook her head. Lucien laughed. “Your protector knows better. She won’t dare touch me again.”The manager hurried over, eager to

The terrified department head quickly pulled out his phone to call for Silvermoon backup, but before he could make the call, Chris’s inner wolf stirred beneath his skin. His eyes glowed a dangerous gold, and his fangs began to lengthen. He reached out, snatched the phone from the manager’s hand, and crushed it between his jaws. Pieces of broken plastic and metal scattered across the floor.Chris turned back to Lucien. Whatever restraint he had shown before was gone. He grabbed Lucien and drove his fist into his face again and again. Lucien’s face quickly swelled under the blows, and he groaned as one of his teeth broke loose and fell from his mouth. It hit the wooden floor with a small clatter.Lucien shook with fear. The arrogance that he had shown moments ago was gone. Dark blood dripped from his mouth as he stared up at the giant standing over him.“Who on earth are you?” Lucien stammered through his bleeding lips.Chris looked down at him, his expression cold. “You’re not importa

The black sedan sat quietly at the dark street corner, its engine humming softly. Inside, Lucien leaned back against the seat, a thick white bandage wrapped around his head and a medical plaster covering his swollen, bruised face.Beside him, the junior manager pointed through the window with a trembling finger. His face twisted with hatred as he spotted Valkira walking down the path.“There she is, sir,” the junior manager whispered. “She’s all alone.”Lucien glanced at the heavily built man sitting in the back seat. He was a huge, scarred fighter Lucien had hired from an underground gambling den. Lucien nodded toward the window, his eyes filled with hatred.“That’s her,” Lucien said through clenched teeth, his eyes burning with hatred. “Make her pay for what she did to my family. I want her to suffer. Do whatever it takes, and don’t stop until she knows what it feels like to lose everything.”The fighter cracked his knuckles and nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. I’ll make sure she regrets
