CHAPTER 105
KILLIAN’S POV
Just as everyone was gathered and waiting for the election result to be called, the councilmen had returned to the stage, and the hall was filled with anticipation. One of them stepped forward, holding a folded parchment that looked like it carried the final result. But before he could speak, a strange sound came on from the loudspeakers behind the podium. It was a voice. No, two voices.
The entire hall went dead silent.
Everyone turned toward the speakers.
Then the audio started clearly.
“Are you sure it happened?” Dorian’s voice rang out, clear and unmistakable. He was speaking in a low tone, but the mic had caught everything.
“Yes,” came the voice of his beta, Gary. “The men did as they were told. I paid them in full. The car was totaled. They didn’t even see it coming. Here… this is the picture they sent.”
There was a pause, and then Dorian’s voice again. This time colder.
“Damn. I didn’t think they’d really go through with it. Can they even survive that? It looked brutal.”
Gary snorted. “I doubt it. They said the impact was bad.”
Then Dorian laughed. Actually laughed.
“That’s what he gets for trying to take something that was never his. I’ve had my eyes on that damn crown since the last Alpha King died in that stupid plane crash. This title was meant for me. If he dies, fine. It saves me the trouble.”
Gasps rippled through the hall.
Some growled.
Some cursed.
I looked over at Dorian. He froze. His entire body turned stiff like he couldn’t believe what he was hearing himself. Slowly, the entire room turned their heads toward him. His face paled. His lips parted. And then, he did the one thing no one expected, he tried to run.
“Stop him!” one of the councilmen yelled.
The guards moved instantly. Two of them grabbed Dorian before he could make it more than three steps. He fought them. “Get off me! This is all lies! It’s fake! It’s a setup!”
“You said it yourself, you fool!” one of the elders shouted from the other side.
“It wasn’t me! It was Gary! He did everything!” Dorian screamed, yanking away from one of the guards and pointing at his beta. “He was the one who handled the accident! It was all him!”
Gary’s mouth dropped. “What?! You told me to! You said you wanted it done before the election! You said you didn’t care how!”

“Liar!”
“Don’t you dare!”
“Shut up, both of you!” someone yelled.
It was chaos.
The guards pushed them apart, trying to control the growing fight. Gary was now yelling back, completely betrayed, while Dorian kept shouting over him, trying to blame everyone but himself.
Then Mrs Dowaga, the councilwoman stepped forward.
“We were going to announce the winner first, but clearly the Goddess had a different plan.” She looked around. ” This audio was leaked to us just thirty minutes ago by an anonymous source. But we didn’t want to play it until we confirmed it was real. And we did. We verified the voice with the help of our voice match technology. There is no mistake.”
She turned toward Dorian. “Alpha Dorian of the Blackmoon pack, you are under investigation for attempted assassination of Alpha Killian and his mate, Liana. You are hereby disqualified from the election, and a full inquiry into your pack’s activity has begun.”
Dorian’s mouth hung open. “No… no, please, this can’t be happening.”
But no one pitied him. Not after what they heard.
Then the senior councilman stepped forward again, this time holding the parchment higher.
“With the rightful candidate remaining… and after a fair count, the winner of the Alpha King election, with about ninety percent vote higher, is…” he paused.
Everyone held their breath.
“Alpha Killian Wolfe!”
The entire hall exploded.
There were shouts of joy. applause. Wolves from every core territory rose to their feet, clapping and cheering.
I stood there, frozen for a moment. I didn’t even know how to react. My head was still spinning from the whole shock of actually hearing my name called. Alpha King. They called me Alpha King.
When the hall quieted down again, the councilman handed me the mic and gestured for me to speak. I stepped forward slowly, trying to find the right words while still feeling like I was stuck in a dream.
“I…” I cleared my throat and gave a small smile. “Honestly, I didn’t prepare a speech, because I didn’t even know if I’d be standing here at all today. And after what just happened, I think we all need a moment to breathe.” I chuckled lightly, and a few people did too.
I looked around the hall, seeing so many faces, so many eyes fixed on me, some familiar, some not. But all of them were looking at me with hope, and that was what really hit me.
“I know I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again. I’m not perfect. Far from it. I have flaws. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve been through a lot, and I know many of you have too. But still… still you believed in me. You voted for me. You gave me this chance. And I just want to say thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
I paused for a second, letting the silence settle for just a beat before continuing.

“Being Alpha King isn’t just about power or the crown or the title. It’s about service. It’s about doing right by every single pack, every wolf, every child, elder, warrior, omega, and alpha alike. And I promise you, with everything I have, I will not take that responsibility lightly. I will give you my best. always.”
I nodded once and stepped back, giving the mic to the councilman again.
The applause came hard and loud. They clapped and clapped, some even standing again. I felt Logan slap my shoulder from behind, “That was good, man. That was damn good.”
Then the senior councilman raised his hand for silence and made the next announcement.
“We invite you all to the official Inauguration Gala and Crowning Ceremony,” he said clearly. “It will be held this evening at the Raven five star Hotel, and all are invited. The ceremony begins promptly at 8PM.”
Everyone cheered happily.
The three council members came up to me after that. They bowed, like actually bowed, and it felt strange, but I held my posture.
“Congratulations, Alpha King Killian,” Mrs Dowaga said warmly. “We know we’re in good hands.”
“You’ve earned this,” the older man beside her added. “We look forward to working beside you.”
I nodded and thanked them, keeping a respectful tone, but honestly, all I could think about in that moment was my Liana. My mate. The woman who should have been standing right here beside me.
God, I missed my Liana so damn much.
Being away from her even for this short time was already pulling at me. I needed to see her. Hold her. I needed her to know that we made it. That we actually made it.
My smile stayed on my face for the crowd, but inside, all I wanted was to leave this place, get in my car, and head straight to her hospital room.
Because none of this would feel real until I saw her eyes and told her everything myself.
