All Chapters of The White Wolf Heiress: My Alpha Begs For A Second Chance : Chapter 41 - Chapter 48

Chapter 41Yvonne's Pov Kael lifted his fist and the entire line behind him froze completely. Every warrior stopped at once, their weapons already lifted up in positions without making a single sound. I moved forward until I was standing behind him, looking through the thick brush toward whatever had caught his attention.My pulse was already racing but it had nothing to do with fear this time, just anticipation.Below us at the slow of the mountain, dozens of figures moved in slowly, they wore dark leather I remembered from Ronan's account of his ambush at the mountain.They weren't wearing any colored and there was no visible crest, but they looked trained“It seems like they're guarding something,” Gideon whispered, crouching beside me. “That ravine leads toward the mountain's base. If Yvonne's right about the inner chamber, this could be the most direct route to take”“Then we’ll turn around like we planned," Julian said quietly.I closed my eyes and reached inward, the way I'd

Chapter 43Julian's Pov I held the glass door of the Silvercrest medical wing open as my father carried the twins inside. These babies had been gone for months, and those months without them felt like terror, everyone had been restless as endless search parties were conducted. But now, looking at their soft cheeks and tiny blankets, a wave of pure relief washed over the hallway. Mother collapsed into a chair, weeping quietly while she squeezed Yvonne's hand. Even father, who usually looked like a statue carved from granite, wiped a stray tear from his cheek.We had them back, my niece and nephew were finally safe inside our fortified walls, surrounded by glowing shields that were able to keep all dark magic away.Yet, nobody was smiling. The silence in the room was too cold, even for me. We had all gone to that mountain thinking that we were finally going to end everything because the minute we saw Celeste's mother, Marguerite, we thought she was the monster behind the eighteen y

Chapter 45Julian's Pov The doors of the Silvercrest tactical archive remained closed to nearly everyone, but my clearance as the head strategist granted me access at any hour. I needed a moment of quiet. The sterile smell of old parchment, cold stone, and magic-infused ink always helped clear my head, though nothing could quiet the lingering hum of anxiety in my chest.Ever since we returned from the mountain with the twins and Marguerite, an invisible weight had settled over the estate. I heard about Marguerite’s chilling indifference during Yvonne’s interrogation and that had proven one terrifying fact. The enemy wasn't just some rogue faction out in the wilderness, the mastermind was here, embedded deep within our ranks, moving with the quiet precision of someone who knew every security protocol, every guard rotation, and every defensive blind spot we possessed.I sat at my private desk, the dim glow of a floating spell-globe, was my only source of light. I pulled up the mag

Chapter 47Celeste's povThe stone floor of my holding cell was freezing, but the cold was nothing compared to the panic clawing at my throat.For days, I had been locked inside this damp, miserable hole in the Silvercrest estate. My expensive silk dress was stained with filth and my nails were broken. I was a Beta who had been groomed to rule as Luna of the Darkmoon Pack, yet here I was, treated like garbage while Yvonne played the heroic White Wolf princess upstairs.It was utterly humiliating.I huddled in the shadow of my wooden cot, listening intently to the hallway outside. The heavy footsteps of the Silvercrest guards echoed rhythmically against the stone walls. Five steps left. Five steps right. Then a long pause near the stairwell.I knew their schedule. I had memorized every shift change over the past forty-eight hours.The moment the guard's boots faded down the corridor, I dropped to my knees and reached into the dark crevice beneath my bed. My fingers brushed against
