Malia of Silvermoon POV
"I cannot mark you, Derek, and I will not let you be my Alpha King!"
"Malia, what are you saying? The moon goddess gave us this bond."
"Look at where we stand in the Silvermoon Alpha Tower, Derek. I am the Luna Queen of Silvermoon Holdings now, and you are just a small young pack healer. The gap between our pack powers is too wide."
"A burden? Is that what our three years in the sacred pack keep mean to you now?"
"Do not make this harder. I owe you for helping my family when we almost lost our pack lands, so I will give you a big settlement of pack resources, a luxury pack lodge, and territory runners."
"Is this all my love is worth to you, Malia? Just a check of 1.2 million pack resources?"
"If it is not enough to make you leave the Beacon Moon Territory, name your price."
"So you are dead set on breaking our eternal lunar bond for this pack dominion?"
"I am the Luna Queen with a net worth of over 150 million in pack resources, and every powerful alpha in the Beacon Moon City wants me. You do not fit in my world anymore."
"I made you breakfast every morning in the den, and I used my healing arts to save your pack from going under. I guess a powerful alpha name means more than love."
"I know you are angry, Derek. Just take the pack resources and go back to your small healing sanctuary."
"Keep your breakup money, Luna Queen Malia. I do not need it to survive."
"Stop right there, you weak omega!"
"Talia! I mean, Elder Irene, why are you here?"
"Do not call me your pack mother, we are not family! Move your legs out of our Alpha Council Chamber and take your trash with you."
"You are throwing my sacred gifts on the floor?"
"Yes! This cheap engagement ring and the little pack resources you saved do not belong in our sacred pack keep. My daughter is meant for greatness."
"I always treated you with respect, Talia. I saved your life when the rogues attacked."
"Do not talk back to me, boy! You are just a dreamer chasing a true alpha lineage you can never touch."
"Mom, stop yelling in the council hall!"
"No, Malia! He needs to know his place before Jackson Whittemore comes back from the Shadow Creek Packlands. He is the future leader of the Whittemore Nightfang Pack."
"You already chose another alpha candidate behind my back?"
"The Whittemore family is a powerhouse in the Crescent Ridge Territory, Derek. They have warriors, territory control, and gold. Jackson will inherit the whole pack dominion."
"I see. I hope your social climbing brings you everything you want."
"Wait, you are just walking away without crying or begging?"
"Let him go, Malia! That good-for-nothing is finally gone, and now our family will skyrocket to the top tier of the Grand Pack Council."
"Why does my chest feel so empty, Mom? It feels like a piece of my soul just died."
"Do not worry about that peasant, my beautiful Luna. Look at what he left behind in the elevator."
"What is that shining inside the cheap wooden box?"
Stiles leaves the healing sanctuary lost in deep thought, his massive army of black-suited enforcers following behind his boots in an intimidating parade. Just then, an understated, heavy black carriage pulled by four massive warhorses pulls up directly to the sanctuary entrance, blocking the trail.His young enforcers move forward to confront the carriage, outraged that any beast would dare block Stiles' personal path. However, when the heavy leather window rolls down, revealing a stern, older wolf with piercing grey eyes, several of Stiles' more experienced subordinates immediately back off with pale faces, ordering the younger recruits to drop their weapons."Kid, step inside. Let us have a short chat about your borders," the old wolf invites with a small smile.Stiles forces a pleasant smile back onto his face, but his boots obediently step up into the carriage without a single word of protest.One of the newer enforcer recruits whispers in total shock to an older warrior, "Sam, w
Before his metal can even graze my leather, I move at an unbelievable, blinding speed, my fingers snatching the bone handle right out of his grip. With a swift, downward strike, the sharp blade pierces completely through Bobby's open palm, driving deep into the solid wood of the table, pinning his hand down.Immediately after, a piercing, high-pitched scream of agony erupts from Bobby's throat as the intense pain overwhelms his warrior mind.The elite onlookers, including Francesca, stand frozen in absolute horror."Bobby Shadow-Claw got taken down by this pretty boy doctor?""But Bobby is a trained shadow killer, an ex-military brute of the wars!""It is not that Bobby's wolf is weak... this packless guy is just incredibly, savagely strong!"With one hand pinned bleeding to the wood, Bobby snarls through his gritted teeth, "If your wolf has the balls, kill me right now! Otherwise, I swear on the moon I will end your name!"Before his mouth can finish the threat, I grab a heavy bottle
Derek Hale POV"Your tiny wolf is absolutely nothing compared to Jackson's royal bloodline," Malia Argent tells me, her voice cutting through the thick lodge air like a freezing winter gale. "Your muzzle cannot even bark a basic thank you, but Jackson can easily express gratitude to the whole territory. Derek, your inner wolf has changed, and not for the better. Whatever, do what your small paws want."She tosses her silver head in total disgust, smelling nothing but poor pack behavior from my seat. To her mind, my lone wolf is not acting like a proper male at all. This bitter moment only makes Malia fully confident that Jackson Whittemore is the absolute right Alpha candidate to sit on the Silvermoon Throne beside her flank.She turns her back to my face, looking directly into Jackson's charming eyes. "Let us leave this mountain circle. My wolf does not want to remain in this uncomfortable den anymore."Jackson flashes his perfect, blinding smile, his expensive leather armor gleaming
Cora thinks my mind has completely snapped. "Derek, shut your jaws! Don't your ears know Bobby is the best shadow fighter Alpha Stilinski commands from the south? My claws cannot protect your hide if you keep running your mouth to a killer!" She turns her face to Bobby, her voice very tight. "Bobby, this male is a friend of my den and Lydia's line. Can our tongues talk this out later? Maybe your pack could let his head off the hook today?"Bobby laughs out loud. "I am afraid that is not possible for my hunt. This punk messed with Alpha Stilinski's border business yesterday afternoon. The supreme boss wants his flesh taken care of personally." He continues, looking back at Cora, "Ms. Hale, please tell the Bloodclaw Pack Heiress it is nothing personal against her line. This guy not only ruined Alpha Stilinski's plans, but his head is also acting all high and mighty even with my hunting knife biting the wood. That is a huge disrespect to my name and my Alpha."Cora has to admit my wolf i
Derek Hale POV"Do not let your wolf worry," I tell Cora, keeping my voice very flat. "My hands will wear a tight leather blindfold, and my claws will not actually touch your fur."Cora lets out a long, shaky breath after my words, but her cheeks still look as red as a fresh kill because her inner wolf is so embarrassed.Right then, the leader of the mountain sanctuary claps his heavy paws together to get everyone's attention."Listen up, high packs! I know your ears have all been wondering who sits on the secret throne of our Oakridge Circle. Well, the moon is good to you today. The supreme master of this mountain is right here, and his claws want to pour sweet berry juice for every single throat to make a new pack alliance!"The whole stone hall bursts into wild howling and clapping. All the wolves sitting at the wooden tables are very rich and have big territories, and they all start chattering their teeth with excitement."Finally, our noses will smell the wolf who owns this mount
Derek lets out a low, sarcastic chuckle. "Is that the text, Ms. Argent? Your she-wolf heart is so generous, begging your future mate to save your past bond's life. Should my wolf prepare a grand tribute gift for your oh-so-powerful Chosen Alpha Candidate?"Hearing the deep mockery dripping from his tongue, I shake my head, my disappointment heavy. "Your rogue soul is completely hopeless. Even at a life-and-death moment like this, your inner wolf is still drowning in petty jealousy. Let my tongue tell you an uncomfortable truth—Jackson Whittemore possesses the raw territory power to handle Stiles Stilinski. Your pride might hate the scent, but it is the absolute truth."Derek replies coldly, his back already turning to me, "His wolf must be a very grand beast. But my claws do not need another dog to handle my hunts."With those final words, his boots click against the stone as he walks out into the dark forest alone.Seeing his opening, Scott crawls up to my side with a friendly, submi
