Semua Bab The Maid Who Stole My Alpha: Bab 31 - Bab 36

(Bardolph POV)The crown pulsed at Daciana’s feet, demanding her willing blood before sunrise, while my pack split around us like a wounded beast.I no longer wore the Alpha ring, yet every scream, every trembling servant, and every confused warrior still struck my chest like duty.Lobo stood near the courtyard steps with the stolen ring burning on his finger, smiling as if Blackfang had already chosen him.Half the warriors behind him stared with red-lit eyes, bound by Adolphus’s pact and old laws twisted into invisible chains.The other half looked at me with fear, shame, and desperate hope, waiting for a command from a man who had surrendered his throne.That was the first lesson of losing power.Some wolves only obey the ring, but others still look for the voice that once carried them through fire.Daciana stood beside Rudina’s crown in servant brown, her bleeding palm still untouched by the price Otsana had named.Conri watched her with guarded fury, ready to carry her away from
