Semua Bab The Rise Of The Last Golden Wolf: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Edward’s POV The SUV pulled up in front of the pack house, and I couldn't help the grin spreading across my face. Three months away at Alpha training had been long enough. I was ready to be home, take my place as the future Alpha of the Dark Fang Pack, and get back to the life I'd left behind. The driver climbed out and hurried around to my door. He opened it, and I stepped onto the pavement, barely getting a chance to straighten my jacket before someone came flying toward me. “Edward!” I recognized that voice before I even turned around. It was… Lena. She launched herself directly into my arms, and I caught her with a laugh, tightening my hold around her waist as she wrapped her legs around me and locked her arms behind my neck. Her familiar scent surrounded me, and for a moment, it felt as though I hadn't been gone at all. “Lena, sweetheart,” I chuckled, holding her securely while she pressed herself against me. “Baby, I missed you!” she purred, nudging her nose against mine

Amira’s POV My eyes were still glowing when I caught sight of my reflection. Pure gold stared back at me, so bright and unnatural that I barely recognized the girl looking through the mirror. “Oh, fuck.” I gasped. Not believing what I was seeing. I released Lena’s wrists and stumbled backward. Her mouth opened, but whatever she intended to say never came out. For once, Lena had nothing to throw at me, no cruel remark ready to make everyone laugh at my expense. She simply stood there, rubbing her wrists and staring at me as though I had turned into something she couldn’t understand. Maybe I had. But I couldn’t stand around there and let everyone gawk and stare. They have seen enough. I turned and bolted for the stairs. “Amira!” Valerie called behind me. I barely heard her. My heart was pounding, and I could feel the weight of dozens of eyes following me as I hurried up the steps. I didn’t stop until I reached my bedroom. I pushed through the door, intending to slam it shut, but I

Amira’s POV Valerie and I looked toward the bedroom door at the same time. The sound of Edward’s voice still seemed to hang in the air, and I could feel the tension settling over the room as my best friend slowly shook her head. “No. Absolutely not.” She stepped in front of me, blocking my path to the door. “You are not going down there, Amira. Whatever he thinks happened, we both know Lena is going to make this ten times worse. You heard him. He's already decided you're guilty.” I swallowed hard, looking past her toward the door. “What choice do I have?” “You have a window.” She pointed toward it as if she'd just discovered the solution to every problem in the world. “You can climb out, run across the grounds, and get the hell away from here before anybody realizes you're gone.” I stared at her. “Valerie, we're on an upper floor.” “So? You have a wolf now. Maybe you can land on your feet.” She said it like that was an option. She was so sure of herself. Despite everything, a s

Valerie’s POV I stayed where I was, barely daring to breathe as I watched Amira hanging limp against the chains. My best friend, the girl who had stood beside me when everyone else turned their backs, looked like she didn’t have an ounce of strength left in her body. Her head hung forward, her hair falling across her face, and her legs barely seemed capable of supporting her weight. If the chains hadn’t been holding her upright, I wasn’t sure she would have been able to stand at all. My hands curled into fists at my sides. I wanted to run to her. I wanted to tear those chains off the beam and take her somewhere nobody could ever hurt her again. I wanted to scream at Edward until he understood what he’d done, and I wanted to slap that smug expression right off Lena’s face. But wanting to do something and being able to do it were two entirely different things. If I ran out there now, every eye here would turn toward me. They knew I was Amira’s best friend. Hell, I was her only frien

Edward’s POV I stood there staring in the direction King Luciano had disappeared, struggling to believe what had just happened. He couldn’t be serious. He couldn’t just walk away from my ascension because of some fucking girl who wasn’t even worth the trouble she’d caused. I was supposed to become Alpha today. The entire pack had gathered for it, my father had arranged everything, and the King of the North had shown up only to turn around and threaten to leave without doing the one thing he was required to do. “What the fuck?” I spun around, my anger finally finding somewhere to go. “What the hell does he mean he’s not performing my ascension? He owes me! Everyone owes me! This is my fucking day!” A few people standing nearby suddenly found something very interesting to look at elsewhere. I didn’t give a shit. “That fucking bitch!” I shouted. “Amira has to ruin everything, doesn’t she? She couldn’t leave me alone for one fucking day? No, she had to start trouble on the day I’m su
