Chapter 174 The Weight Of The Crown

• LINDA
• I slam my office door shut, locking out the world and linking everyone in the pack not to disturb me. My legs feel heavy as I make my way toward my desk, collapsing into the soft leather chair with a deep sigh. The past two weeks have been nothing short of chaos, and now, with Moonveil’s forces creeping closer to our borders, I feel Ivory Fangs slipping out of my control. For the first time since taking the Alpha title, I wonder if the world might actually come crashing down around me.
• I always knew leading a pack would demand everything I had—my strength, my patience, my sanity. But I never imagined that my own brother, Marcus, would turn his hatred into something this monstrous. I knew he despised that I was born with Alpha blood, that a woman could stand equal to him in strength and power. Still, I never thought his bitterness would twist him so far that he’d attack innocent pups just to feed his fragile pride.
