Semua Bab Moonlight Reborn: Unlikely Mate: Bab 21 - Bab 30

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE Stepping cautiously through the black blind corridors of the packhouse with cold stone floor muted under my bare feet. The crickets hum from afar in the night and occasional creaking of wood settling here and there were the only noises of the night. With every heart beat, I felt the risk I had taken. The faint hum of crickets outside and the occasional groan of settling wood were the only sounds in the night. But to me, the silence felt deafening, stretched, should anyone lay eyes on me including Jonathan, any rational explanation would be useless. No mercy - no excuses. But I didn’t care. I needed to see him. Jay. The only person who made the suffocating walls of this house feel safe. I felt my fingers shaking while I approached his door. I delayed for just a second before opening the door enough to let myself inside. I risked more than punishment, I risked hope. And hope as I had learned was a dangerous thing in this house. But, as soon as the door closed after m

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE Damon Point of View The night chill touched my body, but I barely noticed. My skin had long since numbed to the cold, my muscles strained and tight from a full day of training. Every part of me ached—my arms, my back, my legs—but I refused to stop. Stopping meant thinking. Stopping meant feeling. I couldn’t afford either. Around me, the others moved with quiet determination. Jonathan and the remaining Alphas huddled together, their heads bent as they discussed their next attack strategy. Their voices were low, sharp, the tone of men preparing for war. I ignored them. They were focused on power. I was focused on something far greater. Each punch I threw, each block I absorbed, each drop of sweat that rolled down my spine—it all had a purpose. They thought they had broken me once, thought they had cast me aside like I was nothing. But I was still here. Breathing. Fighting. And I wasn’t finished. I pushed my body further, executing the same brutal training regimen

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE JONATHAN Point of View I never imagined that this would be happening. I stood before the leaders of my pack, praying to be supported—praying for loyalty, They were confronted with nothing but doubt and accusation instead. The man who had always been my mentor, spoke first. His voice didn't waver, but his eyes were immovable. "Alpha, the seventeen pack council has made their ruling, but there is discord in our lands as well. Our people are restless. They hear the whispers. They see the fissures forming." One of the other elders, a woman with a streak of silver in her hair, shook her head. "They are afraid, Jonathan. And when fear is present, so is doubt." I snorted, a harsh sound that fell from my lips. "Doubt?" I repeated. "You expect me to worry about their doubt? I have made this pack great. I have solidified our hold on power. And now, due to one error, they doubt me?" “They fear disgrace,” my advisor admitted. “They fear the consequences of your actions.” Dis

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN JONATHAN Point of View "Alpha Jonathan, tomorrow, by 4" That was it, the message. And it had to be from the Alpha King because I had blocked every other werewolf from reaching me. And it came with the audacity too. It could only be him. When I received the mindlink from King Damisus, it made my heart skip. I mean, it was so fucking rude and imperative, and I wouldn't have given it a second thought. But knowing who the message was from felt like an honour. And it couldn't have come at a more better time. Now that it didn't look like the odds were in my favour. I had thought that King Damisus would also come to judge me like others. "The Alpha King Damisus" I mumbled out loud while stirring my drink. I've been this way since the meeting. The betrayal of my people stung so hard that it made me impossible to sleep. So thinking of what a weapon having the Alpha King on my side would be was all I could do. The power that oozes from just the thought of him. His wise an

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE JONATHAN Point of View Walking briskly, I try to make it to the throne room. Keeping a dignitary waiting felt like a crime. Reaching the door, I checked the time to see how late I was. "4 minutes late" I mumbled and shrugged. Better late than never right? I heaved a sigh and walk into the room. "Late to a meeting in your own home? Not a good quality an Alpha should possess, don't you think?" He voice sending chills into my bones. I shake it off before I apologize. "My action is inexcusable. I'm sorry Alpha" I said with my head bowed and on one knee. I dare not raise my head. Not until he allows it. I have to gain his favour so any form of humiliation is allowed. Silence followed my apology. A heavy one mind you. With my head down, I was at his mercy utterly and completely. Foot steps approach me till his shoes were in my gaze. His hands pull me up by my shoulders. On my feet I still didn't raise my head. He has to see how loyal am ready to be to him. I have to ga
