Semua Bab The Alpha King Who'll Avenge Me: Bab 111 - Bab 120

"Elijah, wake up!!"Tarron's voice jolted me awake and made me jump from the bed to the floor. There was a grave danger here - in the palace. I grabbed a shirt and rushed out of my chamber.Vincent came sprinting down the corridor, panting heavily. "My king, rogue wolves are attacking!"Rogue wolves? What kind of nonsense is this?"They came from the back of the palace," Vincent added."But how is that possible?"Kyler shook his head quickly. "I don't know, my king.""To the armory now, Vincent! Secure it!" I shouted.A loud explosion rattled the glass windows along the corridor. A bad feeling settled in my gut—the blast had to come from the armory. We rushed to the back of the palace, where chaos reigned.Maids and workers ran for shelter while the guards rushed in the opposite direction—toward battle."Secure the gate!" I ordered."The gate has been breached, my king!" one of the guards shouted.We sprinted do

The "Welcome to Pinecrest" sign caught my eye as the bus passed. A jolt went through me, like the rush of a roller coaster. I was back. Although I wasn't sure if my presence was welcome here.The bus pulled into the terminal, and I hurried off with the last few passengers. I stepped into a nearby convenience store and grabbed a bottle of water. The clock behind the cashier said eleven at night."You traveling alone?" the cashier asked as he took the money I put on the counter. "Be careful, girl. You should stay alert at this hour."I simply nodded before hurrying out. My footsteps echoed lightly on the sidewalk as I walked through the quiet night toward downtown.My plan was to stay at a motel before going to Jeremy's pack. I wanted to observe him first, maybe for a day or two, before building up the courage to face him.The streets were deserted, the shops all closed. But despite the emptiness, I wasn't afraid. Pinecrest was my home, the place where I grew up. There was a sense of sa

"Michael!" I cried.I quickly pushed past Jeremy and grabbed the guard's arm to free Michael."Let him go! Michael is my friend!" I shouted in panic.I saw Michael's face, bruised and bloodied—he had clearly been badly beaten. But instead of helping, Jeremy grabbed my arm, his expression growing even more fierce."We're trying to protect you, and this is how you act? You know better than anyone that no one can be trusted except your family!" Jeremy warned."But, Jeremy..." I yanked my arm out of his grip. "I would have been dead if Michael hadn't helped me get out of that cell and run."Jeremy's eyes flickered in Michael's direction. "Take him to the cell in the back. Keep an eye on him."The guards nodded immediately in obedience. They moved to take Michael away, and Dad followed."Michael, it's just protocol!" I shouted.Jeremy suddenly grabbed the back of my neck and clicked his tongue. "I warned you, Deli!"He half-pushed m

Michael stared at me in disbelief. "What? Why do you think I led the royal wolves here?""Because you came here... and suddenly the royal wolves appeared. What else could it be if not because of you? Maybe they planted a tracker or a listening device on you?"Michael's eyes widened even more. "Whoa... hold on."I stood with my hands on my hips. "If anything happens to Jeremy's pack and it's because of you... I will finish you!"The cell door opened, and Dad appeared at the entrance. His face looked uncomfortable as he ordered me out. What's going on? I had a bad feeling."The royal wolves only stopped at the border because they were looking for a fugitive," Dad sighed. "I told them the fugitive isn't here.""Oh..." I looked at the cell. "So Michael is still on their wanted list?""It's not Michael, Deli. It's Beta Vincent."Vincent?"Wait, why are they chasing Vincent, too?" I asked, stunned.Dad shook his head. "I don't know, Deli. Things seem to be in chaos at the palace. Who knows

I waited anxiously in the hallway as the healers worked to save Vincent. Michael stood next to me, looking just as restless. Even though Michael wasn't particularly close to Vincent, I knew he felt the same way I did. We both knew that Vincent was a good wolf who had risked his life to protect us.When I heard footsteps approaching, I turned my head toward the sound. It seemed that the Moon Goddess had heard my prayers—Jeremy and Dad had finally returned to the pack. Jeremy's face showed sheer shock."You found Beta Vincent?" Jeremy asked, his voice tense."The healers are treating him. His condition is critical," I replied, fighting back tears.Jeremy cupped my face and looked deep into my eyes. "Do not think the worst. He's going to make it, okay? Let's pray together."Then Jeremy and Dad rushed into the room where Vincent was being treated. I stayed outside, waiting helplessly. There was nothing I could do. I wasn't a healer—I couldn't save him.Michael spoke suddenly, breaking th
