All Chapters of The Alpha's Mark: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Liana POVThe room was heavy with silence after Elder Hosky’s pointed question. My heart pounded in my chest as every pair of eyes focused on me. Darius’s hand subtly brushed against mine, a silent encouragement. I took a deep breath and stood, meeting Elder Hosky’s gaze directly.“I have something to say,” I began in a firm voice despite the dread in my stomach. “Yes, I was present at the ceremony, but I was not a willing party. Rowan marked me against my will, and I was given no choice. My father’s guards chained me in silver chains, and brought me to the main hall where Rowan was present. I was forced to sit down as Rowan marked me.” The memories of him marking me forcibly came to my mind, and my eyes became moist. A murmur rippled through the council members. Rowan scoffed, his lips curling into a mocking smile. “Oh, come on, Liana. You were eager enough to become my Luna.”I glared at him, my fists clenched. “That’s a lie, and you know it.”Elder Hosky raised his hand to silence

Liana POVWhen the Elders announced they will be punishing Rowan and Alpha Victor, excitement cruised through me. It felt like a victory. Elder Hosky looked at me and smiled. “Because of you, all the Elders have decided that they will change the law for the Lunas of the community. This is a new world and the she-wolves have equal rights just like the wolves.” “Thank you, Elder Hosky,” I said, unable to contain my elation. “It means a lot.” Elder Hosky then turned to look at Rowan. “Since you lied to us in the sacred council and thought you could take us for fools, you incur heavy penalty. We order you to pay five hundred thousand dollars as a penalty in a week.” Rowan gasped in shock.Elder Hosky’s eyes went to Alpha Victor. “Since you coordinated with Rowan to orchestrate this case, and you helped him build the lie, you will be penalized as well. You will pay a hundred thousand dollars to the council within a week for wasting our time in a case that had no foundations, for wasting

Liana POVI had slept like a baby the previous night, but snapped open my eyes when a banshee-like scream ripped through the air. I got up with a gasp and a jerk. When I looked to my side, I saw that the bed was empty. Darius must have gone to train his wolves in the morning. And I was naked. A blush crept on my cheeks, thinking about the previous night and an ache developed between my legs. I wanted that wolf to fill me, stretch me in all delicious ways. But the scream. Oh! Quickly, I tossed the blanket away and got out of the bed. I wore night pajamas with one of Darius’s t-shirts. Goddess, his shirt fell till my knees, and it seemed like I was wearing a tent. Wrapped in his scent and shirt, I rushed downstairs. My heart lurched in my throat when I found Elara standing with a thick rod in her hand, which was up in the air. Her eyes were wide in anger and she was shaking with rage. A maid—my maid—was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. There was complete mayhem with servants runn

Liana POV When Kaden burst into the room, his face pale and his voice urgent, a shiver ran down my spine. Victor and Rowan were two egotistic bastards who couldn’t accept defeat from the hands of a woman. Combined with it was the fact that I was with their archenemy. How could they digest it? Declaration of war was a blatant disobedience to the Elder Council’s decision. So it meant one thing – now they were unhinged. They didn’t care about the council’s judgment. Darius immediately stood, his face hardening with tension. “Call the warriors,” he commanded Kaden. “We need to prepare for battle.” Darius turned to me, his eyes filled with both concern and resolve. “Liana, stay inside the packhouse where it’s safe.”But I shook my head, stepping closer to him. “No, Darius. I can’t stay behind while this is about me. I’m fighting with you. And how can you even think that I’ll stay behind?” His lips pressed into a thin line as he stared at me, but before he could argue, I added, “This war

Liana POVWhen we reached, the cold night air bit at my skin as I stood at the edge of my father’s pack territory. The warriors surrounding me shifted uneasily as their eyes scanned the dense forest ahead. I could feel their doubt. I could feel Nero’s confidence wavering. It was natural because Alpha Victor was a stronger Alpha than Rowan, and he had been to several wars. So there was a big chance that he had left some of his well-trained warriors back home, anticipating moves like these. Though I wasn’t a seasoned fighter like Darius, but I had something they didn’t know—intimate knowledge of Alpha Victor’s strategies.I raised my hand, signaling for silence as I turned to face my warriors. They were already tired from fighting in Rowan’s pack, and they needed all the encouragement. Taking a deep breath in, I said, “We’re not just fighting to win. We’re fighting to make sure Victor’s reign of terror ends today.” And I meant it. Because my father was a tyrant who had committed cruelt
