Semua Bab Bound by the Moon: Mated to Triplet Alphas : Bab 11 - Bab 20

Ava’s POVAfter Kane left, I went to my room. I just stood there, still breathing hard, my lips swollen from his kiss. His words echoed in my head, over and over again.You’re mine, no one else. Mine alone.I pressed my hand to my lips. I could still feel the heat, spreading through every part of me. My whole body was shaking not from fear but from the memory of his hands on my skin, his voice in my ear, the way his wolf growled like he wanted the whole world to know I was his.Minutes passed, maybe more. I was waiting for him to come, Ella was restless, she was pacing inside me, whispering that Kane was ours. That nothing could break what had just happened.Then I heard a knock on the door, jolting me out of my thoughts.“Ava Wynter,” a deep voice called through the door. “The Council requests your presence. Now.”My stomach dropped to the floor.The Council.I froze, staring at the door. Kane had told me not to open it for anyone but him, but this wasn’t just anyone. These were the

Kane’s POV“Ava” I shouted when I saw her pressed against the wall and Zack was so close to her, his hands were braced beside her head, his body angled toward hers like he had every right to stand there, like he had every right to touch what was mine. I could feel my blood boil.The growl that ripped from my chest before I could stop it, shook the air, it was loud enough to shake the torches on the wall.Ava’s eyes flew to me wide and frightened. I could see guilt written all over her face. She pushed Zack away from her but he didn't move. He just looked at me, calm and cold, his body still too close to hers. My wolf roared, attack him, tear him apart, he touched her, he tried to take her.“Get. Away from her.” My voice was rough, almost unrecognizable.Finally, Zack stepped back slowly. His gaze didn’t leave mine. His jaw was tight, there was no fear in his eyes, he looked like he was ready to challenge me.Ava stood against the wall, she was breathing fast, her hands were shaking at

Ava’s POVThe ground was cold under my feet as Kane led me to the center of the training field. Warriors stopped sparring, their eyes following us, some looked curious, some amused, while some looked like they were doubting I would be able to hold on, maybe they thought I would give up but I only knew how determined I was.Kane stopped and turned to me, his eyes swept over me, they were sharp and assessing, like he was stripping me down to my bones.“You want to be strong?” His voice was hard.“Yes.”“Then listen to me. Do exactly as I say, no hesitation.”I nodded quickly. “I will.”His jaw flexed. “Good. First stance.”He stepped close, his hands on my waist, moving me into position. His touch burned through my clothes, sparks flashing across my skin. I gasped but forced myself to focus.“Feet apart, bend your knees, keep your balance low,” he ordered. “If you fall, you lose and in a fight, losing means death.”I swallowed hard. His words weren’t just for training, they were the tru

Ava’s POVThe sound of howls echoed through the walls of the pack house, sharp and fierce. Every cry sent shivers down my spine.They were out there, fighting, bleeding and killing to protect their pack and I was here, locked inside, pacing my room like a caged animal.I hated it.Every muscle in my body screamed to move, to run, to do something but Kane’s order had been clear before he left: Stay here, don’t step outside.I pressed my hands into the window frame, staring out at the dark forest in the distance. Smoke rose above the trees, the faint glow of fire flickered against the night sky.My heart twisted. What if Kane didn’t come back? What if one of those rogues got to him first?“No,” I whispered, shaking my head. “He’s strong. He’ll come back.”But warriors die every day, Ella murmured. Strength isn’t always enough.The truth of her words made my chest ache.I turned from the window and paced again. I felt restless and helpless. Months of training with Kane had changed me, my

Kane’s POVThe council had called for a meeting in the war room about the battle. When I entered, the silence pressed on me, heavy with loss. Maps covered the long oak table, candles were burning low and the air carried the smell of blood and smoke from the battlefield.Zack was already there, standing stiff by the map table, his arms were folded tight across his chest. Lucas leaned back in his chair, looking too calm for someone who had just cut down a dozen rogues. His smirk was there but his eyes gave him away, they were sharp, watchful and already calculating.At the far end of the table sat the Council. They were five elders, dressed in dark robes, their eyes were like blades. Their presence made the room colder.I didn’t waste time. “That wasn’t a random rogue attack,” I said. “They were too organized, they were fighting in formation.”Zack nodded once, his jaw tense. “I saw it too. They weren’t just charging, they were testing us, moving like soldiers.”“Someone’s commanding th
