Dominic:

The morning air was sharp when I stepped out of the consort hall, but nothing cut through me as deeply as the sight of her.

Katherine.

Standing in the corridor like she still had a place in my world.

Like nothing had changed.

Like she hadn’t nearly ruined everything.

Her gaze locked on mine the moment I appeared.

Her face brightened, too quickly, too desperately.

“Dominic…”

Before she could take a single step, Brenna moved.

She positioned herself between us, head bowed slightly toward me, one hand lifted to halt Katherine.

“Luna,” Brenna said, voice controlled, “the Alpha will not be receiving anyone right now. Please, come with me, there are things that he needs to take care of, and there are papers on your desk that I need you to check.”

Katherine stiffened, her pride shattering at the edges. “I wasn’t speaking to you,” she hissed. “I believe that I know when the Alpha is busy and when he is not.”

“You are speaking through me,” Brenna corrected sharply. “As protocol dictate

  • Alpha Salvatore   Chapter 126

    Aria:The air was thick with fear, sharp, metallic, suffocating, but for the first time since this nightmare began, every girl in the room looked at me not with envy, not with bitterness…But with expectation.Dominic’s kiss still burned faintly on my lips. His scent lingered on my skin, grounding me even as the torches flickered, dying one by one. I forced my breath steady and turned to the girls.“Barricade the door,” I ordered. “They are going to come back, and we are going to need to be ready. Grab whatever you can when we’re done. We are going to need to fight them off when they approach, and they are going to need to do so.”They hesitated for only a heartbeat before pushing tables, chairs, and crates against the entrance. Lysa and two others grabbed wooden poles, using them like spears. The headmistresses stood by the walls, listening for footsteps. “Why are there so many chairs here?”“This used to be one of the main halls for meetings.” Natalia answered. “Then things changed.

  • Alpha Salvatore   Chapter 125

    Dominic:Aria’s eyes met mine, wide, shaken, alive, and my entire body nearly buckled with the relief that slammed into me.I wanted to pull her into my arms. I wanted to breathe her in, feel her warmth, confirm she was whole. But the girls were everywhere, terrified, trembling, some of them covered in blood that wasn’t theirs. And I could already hear footsteps echoing through the tunnels.“You need to move the girls from here,” I said, turning to the headmistresses. “Every one of you needs to get somewhere safer. There’s another swarm inside. They are going to find them. Take them to the tunnel in my quarters. No one is going to…”“Alpha…”My gamma burst through the broken doorway, chest rising and falling sharply.“Do not move the women,” he said, urgency slicing through every word. “It’s not safe outside this room. They haven’t managed to cover the entire estate, but this is the one safe place for them.”I frowned. “Explain.”“There are more infiltrators. We’ve secured some sectio

  • Alpha Salvatore   Chapter 124

    Aria:The tunnels were cold…But it wasn’t because of the temperature, because of the silence.The patience that we needed to have knowing that out there… out in the place that we called our home… everything that we held close, whatever we had left, it was breaking apart.Two headmistresses led us through the winding stone passage, both armed, both shaken. Natalia, the human one, carried a silver-laced spear she could barely lift, but her grip was steady. The other, Melina, had a dagger clenched in her fist, her face set in grim determination.They guided us to one of the underground shelters. A heavy metal door sealed behind us with a groaning echo that vibrated through my chest.“Everyone… stay quiet,” Natalia whispered. “We are safe in here, but those men… whoever they are, are too many and too strong. They will keep coming in numbers.”“What if they find us here?” One of the girls asked, her voice trembling.“Then we fight until the very end. The Alpha would have heard about what

    Dominic:The dungeon was silent.It was the way my father had designed it years and years ago…No one could hear what went inside, but in return, nothing could be heard from the outside.Cold stone, chains against the walls, the stale scent of fear. Katherine stood in the center of the room, trembling but trying to hide it. I didn’t bother trying to tie her up. I knew that she wasn’t a fool to try and run.“Sit.”“No.” She said, looking me in the eye. “If you aim to snap my neck the way you did with Alessia, I would rather that you do it while I am standing in front of you.”“Fine. Then proceed with standing.” I said calmly. “This is going to be a long night.”“Pretty sure that you didn’t bring me here for it to be a decent or a merciful one. One would assume that this is something that you are enjoying anyway. By locking, by bringing me here, holding me captive… you are getting everything that you want and more. The only thing left for you to do is to torment me.” She said, putting o

    Aria:The doors didn’t last long.“Break the door if you have to. You are not women, break it down.” I heard one man scream, making my heart race.“What are we going to do?” Lysa asked, her voice just above a whisper.“We fight till the end. For now, we need to hold these doors as much as we can.” I whispered to her, knowing that others were already panicking. I put my hand on my stomach, my heart racing as I feared for my child.I didn’t even know what was going on, but I knew this… we were going to have to deal with it one step at a time.“They’re here.” Merlyn whispered, looking at me. I could read her fear in her eyes, but I knew better than to react out of fear. We were going to need to be strong.“No matter what happens, we fight together.” I said, looking over my shoulder before turning to the door just as I heard a man’s voice.“In here.” I heard the man call. I held my breath as I felt them breathing, as I felt them close. “They are hiding in here.”A single, thunderous slam,

  • Alpha Salvatore   Chapter 121

    Aria:The consort common room was unusually loud that afternoon, whispers, chatter, nervous giggles all rolling together like a wave. The moment I stepped inside, every head turned to me.I should have expected it.“Come and join us for a meal. We are starving, and you are eating for two.” Lysa said, patting the chair beside her, making me smile. I sat down, and for one second, I hesitated. Noticing, Lysa nudged my shoulder and winked, giving me a gentle smile. “Don’t worry, no one is going to harm you here.”I smiled and nodded before taking a spoon and starting with the pumpkin soup. It was winter, and the cold nights were now growing longer, and snow was starting to fall…“Aria,” one of the girls said, leaning forward eagerly, “what will your first order be when you become Luna? You know, given everything that is going on, we are going to need a new Luna.”I froze for a heartbeat, then forced a calm breath.“It has not been decided who the Luna is, and I don’t think that it should
