All Chapters of Whispering Shadows: The Lost Bond: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Forgive my boldness, my Luna, but none of us doubt you. We have faith in both our Alpha and you. Whether you're his fated mate or his chosen partner, it makes no difference. A strong Pack thrives under strong leadership, and Alpha Calixto has always exemplified that."A murmur of agreement coursed through the room as the voice continued. "Regarding this 'darkness' the witch speaks of... I don't believe it for an instant. We've all seen the mark you bear, no thanks to this... woman's forceful attempts to reveal it. She claims darkness will prevent him from finding his true mate, yet you are marked, and we're all well aware of the bonds that unite you both."Laughter echoed around the room, and I felt a blush rise to my cheeks as I glanced at Xavier, who grinned at me with undeniable pride."That alone shows that she is full of deceit. Although I may not know everything about witches, I recall the tales from my ancestors about how dark witches spread discord, turning friends and family

I glanced thoughtfully into the distance, a slow smile forming. "Perhaps there is an alternative... Consider the royal household where living quarters are separated. The Omegas serve the royal family exclusively. Guards reside elsewhere, in barracks, and manage their own needs—cooking, washing, and cleaning," I paused to gauge the reactions on both Xavier's and Alvin's faces."Perhaps we could implement a similar setup here. Let those doubting the Omegas' value experience managing on their own for a while. A few months of additional labor, alongside their training, should enlighten them," I suggested. Xavier's eyes gleamed with anticipation."The training grounds are still available, aren't they, Alvin?" Xavier prompted."Yes, Alpha, but they're not in the best condition," Alvin replied, a hint of confusion in his expression."Well, of course not. There are no Omegas assigned to maintain that area, are there?" Xavier grinned as realization dawned on Alvin."Am I to assume you'd like a

The simmer within me was undeniable, yet the situation somehow made sense. I was well aware that this could very well be another trap they were laying for me. However, I needed to maintain access to the castle to protect my father from their schemes. If I closed myself off completely, he would be left entirely vulnerable to their manipulations. For now, having the ability to enter the castle meant I could intervene if necessary. Nerissa was nothing but poison, as was Eve. However, I sensed that Eve was not as adept in her machinations as her mother. Despite Nerissa's animosity and the misery she caused in my childhood, she had never physically harmed me. She could have easily disposed of me, just as she had done with my mother. This implied a restrained intellect and cunning manipulation that her daughter clearly lacked. 'No, Maine. I want to see what they are planning this time. Whatever chaos they intend to unleash, whatever trouble it stirs, we will find a way to counter it. For

In one swift motion, she grabbed the basket and lifted it into the air, swinging it in front of me mockingly. "You can beg for my mercy and my forgiveness, but you'll never have it, Anastasia. I won't stop until I've completely destroyed you," Eve warned in a sickly sweet voice before hurling the basket at the door with all the force she could muster. As the basket crashed to the floor, Eve's grin widened, and she let out a loud, blood-curdling scream, raking her hands through her previously neat hair, deliberately messing it up as she sauntered to the wall nearest the door and glared at me. "Anastasia, please! I'm sorry! Please don't do this!" she wailed loudly, still smiling as she leaned forward and locked the office door. My heart sank as the realization hit me—I had been foolish to think that Eve ever wanted to mend our relationship. Maine was right—this was nothing but a trap. "Eve, please, don't do this," I implored through gritted teeth, using all my willpower to keep Main

My heart lifted slightly as the guard stationed at the door exchanged a meaningful glance with me before leaning toward the entrance and yanking the door open, sticking his head through the gap into the corridor. The moment the door swung wide, the heated argument between my father and my husband surged into the room with full force. I winced at the sound and glanced at Eve, who shared my concern as I remained focused on the door. "I don't know what you've done to my daughter, but she would never have acted this way before she met you! It's your vile attitude and indiscriminate ruthlessness that have influenced her!" my father, Alpha King Leo, roared at Xavier, standing almost nose-to-nose with him. My father's face had turned an alarming shade of crimson as he raged directly into Xavier's face, yet Xavier remained steadfast, seemingly unfazed. If anything, irritation flickered across his features in response to my father's theatrics, with the guards stationed behind both men unsure
