Chapter 465
FAYE
Roman stared at me quietly after I finished speaking.
He didn’t say a word at first.
And honestly, I wondered if I had pushed too far
Because everything had changed so quickly tonight.
Just hours ago, Roman had been the quiet, mysterious wolf everyone pitied and looked down on.
Now he was sitting in a reinforced holding cell after awakening as an alpha wolf from the very pack I was about to walk into.
Nothing about this situation was normal anymore.
But then Roman finally pushed himself off the bench.
I watched him walk toward me slowly until he stopped directly in front of the cell door again.
This close, I could still see traces of exhaustion all over him.
His face looked pale.
His eyes looked tired.
But there was something serious about him now too
Like finally remembering who he was had given him something solid to stand on.
Roman looked directly at me before speaking quietly.
“Of course I’ll help you survive this.”
Something about the certainty in his voice settled something inside me slightly.
Roman continued calmly.
“Whichever way I can.”
Then, after a brief pause, he added,
“I got myself made your anchor.”
Hearing him say it aloud like that made me fully remember what he had willingly done
Roman had stepped into a dangerous ritual knowing fully well it could have killed him.
And som
wasn’t a big deal.

Lopened my mouth slightly, but he kept speaking before I could interrupt.
“owe that to you!
His gaze lowered briefly
“And Alpha Alexander.”
The sincerity in his voice was impossible to miss.
He genuinely meant it.
And suddenly, I felt strangely emotional about that.
Because despite everything happening to him right now…
Roman inhaled slowly before speaking again.
“But I want to make one request first.”
His tone changed slightly this time.
Softer.
But darker underneath.
I straightened slightly.
Roman’s eyes lifted fully back to mine now.
“In whatever happens today…”
He paused briefly.
Something dangerous flickered behind his eyes then.
“Darren is mine.”
The words settled heavily between us immediately.
Roman didn’t look away.
He didn’t soften it.
Didn’t try to hide the hatred in his voice.
And honestly?
I would have asked for the same thing too.
That wasn’t just about anger or hatred. It was a debt that needed to be paid
Roman swallowed once before continuing quietly.
“I want him to fall by my hands.”

Lopened my mouth again instinctively, ready to respond-
But another voice spoke first.
“You have my word
Both Roman and I froze instantly.
I turned so fast my heart nearly jumped into my throat.
Alexander stood several feet behind me.
My eyes widened immediately.
For a second, I genuinely had no idea how long he had been standing there.
Roman clearly looked just as surprised.
I stared at Alexander.
“What are you doing here?”
Alexander raised an eyebrow slightly, like the answer should have been obvious.
“You didn’t really think I wouldn’t notice you’d come down here, did you?”
Okay, fair.
Honestly, now that I thought about it properly, I wasn’t even surprised anymore.
Alexander noticing me leave the room and following afterward was probably the least shocking thing that
could happen.
And honestly…
Part of me understood why he followed this time at least.
I couldn’t even argue about him being overprotective.
Because the truth was…
I didn’t fully trust my own strength right now either.
Not physically… not mentally.
Everything happening around me felt too overwhelming.
Disaster hanging over all of us.
Alexander finally started walking toward us slowly.
The moment he approached the cell door, the atmosphere shifted almost immediately
Roman noticed it too.
I could tell.

Because Roman straightened slightly without even realizing it
Instinctively.
And Alexander noticed,
The two of them stood facing each other now, with only the cel door separating them
Neither spoke immediately.
Roman didn’t back away.
Didn’t lower his gaze like before.
Didn’t attempt to explain himself further either.
He simply stood there calmly, holding Alexander’s stare directly.
And Alexander…
Alexander just stared right back at him.
The silence between them became strangely heavy… intense.
Like two wolves silently trying to understand each other without words.
And suddenly, I realized something unsettling.
Alexander was struggling to accept the presence of this version of Roman in his territory
An alpha wolf who had awakened unexpectedly under his roof.
I stood there quietly, watching both of them.
Neither moved.
Neither blinked much.
Honestly, it was beginning to feel ridiculous.
Like some strange, silent dominance battle neither of them wanted to admit they were having
Roman wasn’t a crowned alpha yet. He had never gone through the coronation.
But that was just a formality. It only truly mattered for alphas chosen by the pack
Roman wasn’t chosen.
Just like Alexander, he had been born into it.
Coronation or not, the blood of an alpha still ran through his veins
I considered interrupting the awkward staring contest
But something stopped me.
