All Chapters of My Sister’s Alpha Chose Me: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Selene’s first official negotiation came sooner than either of us expected.By midmorning, two Alpha representatives were already waiting inside the council chamber.Blackridge and Silverpine.The disagreement was over a stretch of land along their shared border. During the war, the area had been damaged badly. Fences had been destroyed, several homes had been abandoned, and both packs now believed they had the right to decide what happened to the land.Neither side was willing to give it up.By the time I entered the chamber, the argument had already begun.“That land has always been part of Blackridge territory,” Alpha Garrick said.Darius folded his arms across his chest.“And Silverpine has maintained the eastern side of it for years. Your people abandoned it when the fighting started.”“Because your warriors were occupying the area.”“They were protecting our border.”“They were protecting themselves.”Selene stood at the center of the room.She didn’t raise her voice.She didn’t

Selene’s question stayed with me long after we left the garden.Would I have chosen to be Luna if nobody had decided it for me?I tried to answer it that night.I couldn’t.The next morning, I still couldn’t.By midday, I found myself standing on the balcony outside my room, staring over Mooncrest. The pack was slowly settling into a rhythm again. Workers were repairing damaged buildings. Children were running through the courtyard. Traders were reopening their stalls.Everything looked peaceful.Yet I felt strangely unsettled.A knock sounded behind me.I turned.Kael stood in the doorway.“You’ve been avoiding breakfast.”“I wasn’t hungry.”He studied my face.“You’ve been thinking.”I sighed.“Apparently, I do that too much.”“You think too much when something matters to you.”I looked away.“Selene asked me something yesterday.”“What?”“She asked whether I ever wanted to be Luna.”Kael didn’t immediately respond.Instead, he walked onto the balcony and leaned against the railing

By sunrise, the council chamber was already crowded.The news that Rowan had agreed to meet with us had spread quickly, but so had the conditions attached to his invitation.Black Hollow wanted to remain independent.No alliance soldiers were to cross its borders without permission.And, most importantly, the Crown was not welcome on its land.I had expected some resistance.I hadn’t expected an argument before breakfast.“If we accept every condition Rowan gives us, what exactly is the point of having an alliance?” one of the Alphas asked.“The point is cooperation,” Selene replied.“Cooperation requires trust.”“Trust isn’t created by forcing someone to surrender their independence.”The Alpha frowned.“He’s asking us to protect his territory while refusing to stand with us.”“He hasn’t asked us to protect him,” I said.The room quieted.“He asked for a meeting.”Garrick leaned forward.“And what happens when another threat comes from Black Hollow? Do we wait for permission while th

The sanctuary was silent when I entered.No guards followed me.No council members waited outside.Even Kael remained at the doorway.I had asked him to.This was something I needed to do alone.The Crown rested on the altar.It looked almost ordinary.A small silver crown formed from two intertwined crescents.No flames surrounded it.No ancient voice called my name.No light filled the room.It simply waited.I walked toward it slowly.For so long, I had feared this moment.I had imagined the Crown demanding something from me.A sacrifice.A promise.A throne.Perhaps even my freedom.But now that I stood before it, I realized something.I wasn’t afraid of the Crown anymore.I was afraid of becoming the kind of person who believed she needed it.I stopped in front of the a

Six months later, Mooncrest no longer looked like a place that had survived a war.It looked like a home.The broken eastern wall had been rebuilt.The training grounds had been restored.The old council chamber had been renovated, though Selene had insisted that the new alliance council meet around a smaller table.“People argue less when they aren’t sitting across a table that looks like it’s meant for kings,” she had said.Nobody had been able to disagree with her.Trade routes had reopened between the territories.Stormridge sent grain.Silverpine sent iron.Blackridge helped rebuild damaged roads.Redwater and Stonevale exchanged workers and supplies.And Black Hollow, once the pack most suspicious of the alliance, had become one of its strongest trading partners.Peace had not made every disagreement disappear.There were still arguments.
