Lahat ng Kabanata ng 30 Days To Leave My Alpha: Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

NERINEI had decided to visit two of the three elders that night, and Elder Lawrence would be my first stop.I instructed the driver to stop two streets away from his house. I didn't want anyone seeing the pack car outside his gate and wondering what business had brought me there. With everything happening in SilverCrest, people had become far too interested in matters that didn't concern them, and I had no intention of giving those pathetic losers something to gossip about.My maid followed a few steps behind me as I made my way through the upper district. The streets were unusually quiet, and I was grateful for it. I had no intention of explaining my visit to anyone, especially when I hadn't yet secured the support I needed.When I arrived, the steward recognized me, ushered me inside without asking questions, and directed me to Elder Lawrence's study.I found him seated behind his desk, going through some papers under the light of his desk lamp. He looked up when I entered, and sur

THERON’S POVMy Luna?The eggs on my plate had gone cold, but I couldn't bring myself to eat them.Maelis was sitting beside Dorian, listening to whatever he was saying as though I wasn't even there. She laughed at his words, and I found myself staring at her.I had never heard her laugh like that before.She looked comfortable with him, smiling as she leaned closer to hear his next words, even though his voice was loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.What was she doing? Why was she acting as though she had known Dorian all her life when they had only known each other for two days?As if that wasn't enough, when Dorian reached for the scrambled eggs, Maelis picked up the dish and served him a generous portion.“You should eat more,” she said. “We cannot have the Alpha King's son leaving SilverCrest looking as though we starved him.”Dorian glanced at his plate. “At this rate, I might not be able to fit through the gates when I leave.”“Then you should have thought about that

DORIANI had never wasted sympathy on rogues who made a living preying on other people's misfortunes.I had spent enough years dealing with them to know that most were driven by hunger, greed, or the foolish belief that they could take whatever they wanted without facing the consequences.But Scavenger rogues were different.They rarely attacked a pack directly. Instead, they waited for an opportunity, struck where it hurt most, and disappeared before anyone could respond.The attacks in SilverCrest followed that pattern, but something about them didn't sit right with me. There was more to this than a group of rogues looking for their next meal, and I intended to find out what it was.When my father told me about Theron's request for assistance, I had volunteered to come. Call it an obsession, but I had developed a deep seated hatred of rogues over the years. I wanted to hunt them down, make them answer for their crimes, and ensure they could never hurt innocent people again.I stood

DORIANTheron’s gaze moved between Maelis and me, and for a moment, none of us said a word.I had met enough Alphas to recognize when a conversation had caught their attention, but there was nothing particularly unusual about what we had been discussing.“I am going to visit the lower districts to hear directly from the people,” I explained. “The reports from the enforcers have been helpful, but I would rather hear from the people themselves.”Theron looked at me. “And you need Maelis for that?”His question caught me slightly off guard, and I chuckled. “Not necessarily. But she knows the pack better than I do. Besides, I think some of the families might feel more comfortable speaking to their Luna than to a stranger arriving with a group of warriors.”“I see.”His expression remained composed, but something changed in his face, briefly enough that I might have missed it if I hadn't been watching him.I glanced at Maelis, who seemed unaware of the tension.“I thought it would be a goo

THERONThe question caught me so off guard that I froze, unsure of how to respond for a few seconds.Was I really bothered whenever Maelis was with Dorian?Even if we were not in love, there were boundaries, certainly, and Dorian and Maelis were maintaining them. Dorian was a guest in my pack, and I expected him to remember that.Clearing my throat, I replied, “Because Dorian is here to help us deal with the rogues, not to get involved in the affairs of my pack household.”That was a reasonable explanation. At least, it should have been.Xavier let out a low laugh. “Has he done anything to interfere with your pack household?”“No.”“Then has Maelis neglected her responsibilities?” he asked.I shook my head. “No.”“Then perhaps you're making a problem out of something perfectly normal.”I clenched my jaw. “You seem determined to defend her, don't you? Why don't you answer to her instead?” I asked, knitting my brows.“I'm not defending anyone. I'm asking you to look at the situation wit
