Semua Bab The Howling Heart's Forgiveness: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Stepping closer to the border, the ancient magic that keeps Pine Moon hidden from human eyes reaches out towards me. The familiar hum is so warm and welcoming as if the ancient land can feel Rune and I close by. It is inviting, allowing us to pass through without much resistance and I wonder why.“It’s calling us.” Rune says, his grey eyes slowly glowing in the dark. I have a feeling that if I looked in the mirror, my own eyes would be glowing as well.“Calling for Brynlee and I.” He continues.“How can you tell?” Tristan asks, letting out a shaky breath as he does so.Because of the power and connection his blood has to this land. I think to myself. Rune is right though, the land is calling to me, beckoning me to step inside and save it. I know Rune can feel the pull too. Can feel the magic calling out for us in a way that just doesn’t make sense. It’s never done this when we were growing up. Never called for us to help it. So why now?“I just know. I can feel it.” Rune answers Trist

The rage inside me is hard to contain the further we climb these familiar steps. We have only just passed the third floor finding no one standing guard at first. Brynlee and I had both found this suspicious and so we waited, sensing the area for any wolf lying in wait. Luckily waiting paid off as a group of warriors passed by the steps. Brynlee held back this time as Tristan, Ashton and I took care of them. One tried to use a dagger on me seeing as I did not have one of the guns on hand to inject the drugs into him. In the end, I took my anger out on this wolf, killing him with his own dagger that I wrestled from his hand before he could stab me with it while Tristan and Ashton took down the other three with ease because of their tranquilizer guns.After the four wolves were taken out, Brynlee joined us, her sharp gaze glaring at the sharp dagger in my hands. She was the one to point out it was covered in wolfsbane, the scent faint but still deadly to us. She had taken the dagger fro

Keeping my gaze neutral as I try to fight back the laughter threatening to spill with Rune’s greeting to Valor, I watch as the Omega wiggles free of Valor’s grasp and runs down the hall towards another room. It seems like this Omega is smart to run and hide away from us as we came here for one reason and one reason only.“R-Rune.” Valor stutters out as Rune takes a step towards him.“What are you doing here in Pine Moon after turning your back on it?!” He demands, his words becoming confident. It seems Valor still has some bravado left after how cowardly he’s been acting.“Like Rune said a moment ago.” I decide to answer, leaning against the staircase railing.“Rune and I are back for our Pack as rightful Alphas.” My words hit their mark and Valor clenches his jaw in annoyance. I can’t help the smirk that grows as Valor chooses to ignore me to focus on Rune. He sees my Mate as the biggest threat out of the two of us and that’s fine. Having an opponent underestimate me makes the beatin

Stepping through the threshold of my childhood home, I smell the family scent of bourbon and cigar smoke floating in the air. It seems father’s nightly routine hasn’t stopped.“Nora!” My father shouts, his belligerent voice coming from the living room.“Are you back from patrol?” I pause my footsteps, looking at Asteria who furrows her brows. Her eyes glaze over for a moment, most likely trying to see if anyone ran into my mother. When her gaze returns to normal, she mouths the words ‘captured earlier’ to me and I sigh in relief. It seems my mother is taking a nice drug-induced nap with the other wolves that supported Valor.“Nora! Answer me you stupid whore!” Asteria and Gale wince, their concerned gaze turning to me. I shake my head, already used to the abuse my father hurled behind closed doors. No one really knew the truth about how my parents acted. They knew the masks of kind loving people they portrayed to the Pack but when it was just the three of us in these four walls, they

Standing in front of over one hundred wolves ranging from a newborn pup to the elderly using canes, I wonder just what their opinion are about Rune and me standing here. At the base of the steps to Pine Moon’s Pack House, Asteria, Gale, Caspian, Odette, Ashton, and Quest guard the stairs and prevent anyone from stepping close.“We should say something.” Rune mutters, taking my shaking hand in his. I can feel him shaking and sense the nervousness he has through our Mate Bond while facing everyone who remains in Pine Moon. Even after capturing Valor’s men, there is still one hundred and fifteen wolves in this Pack who now look to us as their leaders.“Do you want to start?” I ask, turning to look up at Rune. He sighs, running his free hand through his messy hair before nodding his head slightly. Giving my hand a squeeze, he releases it and steps down two steps, the crowd watching him with weary gazes.“Hello, everyone.” His calls out loudly, his deep voice projecting over the crowd.“I
