Alpha's Mission: Bound by Fateย ย ย Chapter 74
Akiraโs POVThe first person to come into Hunterโs room the next morning was Kestrel โ the very last person I expected, or rather, the last person I wanted to see. I was prepared for Hunter's doctor, not her. She didnโt even bother knocking. The door flew open, and there she was, storming in like she owned the place. She didnโt say hello. Not that she had ever said any since I met her. Instead, she rushed straight to Hunter, her face almost crumbling into tears.โOh, Hunter!โ she cried, her voice shaky. โWho could have done this to you? Who would hurt you like this?โHer hands moved over him, gently brushing his hair back, touching his arm, his chest, as if her touch alone could heal him. โI didnโt know you were hurt. Why didnโt you reach out to me? I was so angry with you for not calling after... after that night at the hotel.โHer words hit me like a truck. The hotel? What night was she talking about? So, they are both spending nights out at the hotel? I kinda felt a small pang of

Akiraโs POVI was deep asleep when I felt something brush across my face. At first, I ignored it. My body screamed for more restโI hadnโt slept well in over a week. Although last night had been less hectic, with Hunter not having a fever, I still woke up several times to check on him. Everything had seemed normal, which allowed me to finally drift into a much-needed sleep. I rested my head on the bed beside him, while sitting on a chair. My legs ached from the awkward position, but even that was better than no sleep at all.The touch came again, this time a bit firmer, playful though. I groaned and swatted the hand away, not wanting to be disturbed. But just as I was about to drift back to sleep, I felt someone gently pinch my cheek. Startled, I shot up, ready to tell off whoever was messing with me, only to be met with Hunterโs smiling face.I gasped. โHunter!โ I blurted out, still half-asleep and a bit bewildered."Do you miss me that much, that you had to sleep by my bedside?" h

Hunterโs POVAs soon as Dr. Dennis and Akira left, I knew Seth was going to bombard me with questions and information, especially about what he had just interrupted between Akira and me. I glanced at him, noticing the serious frown on his faceโhe wasnโt here to mess around.Before he could speak, I decided to lighten the mood. โJust before you start, Seth,โ I said, smiling. โRemember Iโm a sick man just recovering, so go easy on me, okay?โ I joked, hoping to coax a smile or laugh out of him.Seth did smile, but it was brief, and his face quickly returned to its stern expression. โHonestly, Hunter, this isnโt a laughing matter,โ he said. โWe almost lost you. Thereโs an enemy in our midst, someone who could have ratted us out.โHis words hit me hard, I know about that but then, not in the way he is implying it.I looked at him closely, realizing what he was implying. โBy โenemy,โ you mean to say Akira?โ I asked, my voice low. โYou think Akira told Alpha Sabastine of Reidvilla that we w

Akiraโs POVThe burner phone rang again, and I hesitated before reaching for it. I was glad I was alone in the room, able to pick it up quickly before anyone else could enter. Not that I expected anyone unauthorized, beside, Lisa and Brielle were the only ones usally in my room or else one of the servants came to deliver a message. Still, the ringing made me uneasy, especially when I saw Jacksonโs usally number on the screen. I didnโt want to answer his call. I wasnโt in the mood to hear another lecture about avenging my parents' death, as if I had forgotten. Of course, I hadnโt, wasnโt it the reason why I was in this house.Sometimes, though, I felt like Jackson was using me. He acted like he was helping me fulfill my parents' revenge, but it felt like he had his own agenda. There were things he wasnโt telling meโlike the fact that he had another informant. That knowledge stung. It meant he didnโt trust me enough; didnโt believe I could do the job. And then there was the raid.He

Akiraโs POVI waited for a few minutes after Hunter left. I needed to be sure he wasnโt coming back, so I stood there, listening for any signs of his return. When I was certain the coast was clear, I rushed to the door and locked the bolt, my hands trembling slightly. I couldnโt afford any more surprises tonight.Immediately, I pulled the burner phone from its hiding place and dialed Alpha Jacksonโs number. The phone felt heavy in my hand now, like it carried the weight of every lie I had to tell. As the line connected, I forced myself to calm down.I didnโt want to snap at Jackson, but it was hard to keep my frustration in check.Jacksonโs voice came through before I could say anything. โI figured someone interrupted you, which is why I didnโt call back,โ he said, his tone smooth, almost patronizing.I rolled my eyes. โYes, well, Hunter was here. I couldโve gotten caught,โ I replied, irritation creeping into my voice. โCan you try not to call me until I call you? Itโs risky.โThere w

Akiraโs POVI was excited as I prepared for my date with Hunter. It wasnโt just because this date felt different from the forced, pretend ones he had made me do in the past. I was simply curiousโcurious to see what kind of taste he had when it came to taking care of a woman. Knowing Hunterโs brutal side, my expectations for the night werenโt high, but still, there was a flutter of excitement in my chest.I chose a simple short red dress and flat shoes. Lisa had tried to convince me to wear the heels I had worn on my date with August, but I stood my ground. It wasnโt that I couldnโt walk in heelsโafter all, Iโd been getting used to them. But I didnโt want Hunter to think I was overdressed or trying too hard for him.The simple red dress and flats felt just right. Besides, I had no idea what Hunter had planned for the evening. His behaviors are usually unpredictable, and if he ended up stressing me out, I needed to be comfortable. At least comfortable enough to walk home in barefoot.I

Akiraโs POVWhen we reached home, Hunter held my hand as we walked through the hallway. For a moment, I wondered if he had forgotten we were already back at the house. His grip was warm, firm, and I found myself savoring the feel of his hand in mine, as if he was reluctant to let go. He walked me to my room door before gently releasing my hand."I really had a great time tonight," I told him, smiling softly."Me too," he replied, his own smile warm and genuine. "Goodnight," he said, but just as I was about to turn, he moved closer, surprising me. His hands gently slid around my waist, pulling me against him, and before I could catch my breath, his lips found mine.The kiss was soft at first, exploratory, but it quickly deepened as I parted my lips, allowing him in. His lips moved against mine with a hunger that sent a rush of heat through me. We stood there, kissing for what felt like an eternity, wrapped up in each other. When he finally pulled back, I felt dazed, breathless, and

Seth POVI walked into the bar, my eyes scanning the crowd for Adolf. The place was packed, and the noise of conversations, laughter, and clinking glasses filled the air. The short, mischievous werewolf was always a headache to deal with. Most people mistook him for a dwarf, and for good reason. His size and antics often led people to underestimate him, but I knew better; my years with me had tell me how clever he actually is.Adolf loved to drain my energy with pointless chatter before he will finally give me the information I needed, despite the fact I always paid him for his services.I sighed and looked around again, growing more frustrated by the second. He had to be here somewhere, probably flirting with some woman and drowning himself in alcohol. Women and drinks were his weak points, and this bar was his preferred meeting spot, even though I had told him numerous times it was my least favorite place. Adolf, of course, mocked me for it, telling me to โgrow some ballsโ and โman

Akiraโs POVI stood by the window of my room, dressed in my wedding gown; something I had once thought I might never wear. The white fabric felt cool against my skin, flowing down to the floor in elegant waves. The sun outside was setting, forming warm golden hues over the trees and hills. It was the perfect backdrop for the ceremony Hunter and I had decided onโ a wedding in the heart of the estate, surrounded by our pack.I couldnโt stop smiling. The happiness that had been radiating from me since the moment Hunter proposed refused to fade. Everything feltโฆ right. The pack was thriving, and after months of challenges and uncertainty, the members now looked at me as their Luna.When did that happen? Was it when I stood up to Jacksonโs men and rescued the kidnapped school children? Or was it the day I killed Jackson myself, ending his trafficking business? Maybe it was when August confessed to the crimes I had been wrongfully accused of. I wasnโt sure exactly when the shift occurred

Hunterโs POVThe flower room was where I always found Akira when she needed a different kind of solace. It was her sanctuaryโ and, over time, it became mine too. The scent of roses, in full bloom, mixed with the faint traces of her unique floral aroma. This room was more than just a collection of beautiful flowers; it held the memories of us. We had laughed here, fought here, and even shared our most intimate moments. It was the one place where we could be ourselves without interruptions from pack members, guards, or the chaos of leadership.With two glasses of blood wine in my hands, I entered the room, a smile tugging at my lips. Akira was seated on the wooden bench surrounded by cascading vines of red and pink roses. Her eyes were closed as she took in a deep breath of the fragrant air, a small, contented smile curving her lips.I leaned against the doorframe for a moment, just watching her; my mate. How did I get so lucky to have someone like her?โEnjoying yourself?โ I teased, s

Akiraโs POVHunter and I prepared for the council meeting even though the atmosphere was tensed. It was the first time in years that he and the Council of Older Alphas were in agreement over anything. For once, the council wasnโt against us, and this time, the stakes were higher than ever.They had come to us in desperation, pleading for help to stop Alpha Lupinโmy father. According to them, Lupin had grown more dangerous, killing four older alphas who dared to stand against him. They called him a tyrant, a rogue disguised as a leader, but I didnโt need their words to convince me.I had seen it with my own eyes. The memory of my fatherโs hands around my throat, squeezing the life out of me, still haunted my dreams. The man I had once admired as a little girl had turned into a monster, and now, the entire werewolf community feared him.Hunter, however, was hesitant to get involved. When the council approached us, their desperation clear, Hunter had outright refused. "These are the sa

Akiraโs POVThe morning light filtered through my bedroom window as I stared at the message on my phone for the seventh time that day.โHello baby girl, itโs Dad. Can you please come home? I miss you and wish to see you. Love, Dad.โI sighed, the words blurring as I read them again. It wasnโt the first message I had received from him, but it was the first one I seriously considered answering. The last time I saw my fatherโ alive and breathingโ I had frozen in fear. The cafรฉ where we had met had felt like a dream, a surreal encounter with a ghost from my past.Hunterโs words echoed in my mind from the other night under the oak tree. At least heโs alive. That should bring you peace.Was it peace? I didnโt know anymore. I was glad I hadnโt pulled the trigger that night, but knowing what my father had done, maybe I should have. The lives he ruined, the people he hurtโ those memories haunted me. But I wasnโt the one to pass judgment on his life.Still, I had questions. I needed answersโ no

Hunterโs POVThe cool evening breeze brushed against my face as I stood in the middle of the memorial grounds. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine, mingling with the subtle hint of tension that seemed to pulse from the men standing behind me. They were all hereโ every pack member I could summon at a momentโs notice.They were confused, of course.Meetings like this were typically held in the hall, not out here among the graves of our fallen brothers and sisters. Some assumed I had gathered them here to honor those weโd lost, but that wasnโt the reason.My eyes scanned the quiet land that has the ashes of each one of the pack member remembering the lives weโd buried. Here was a reminder of the failures that had led us here. But tonight wasnโt about mourning.It was about justice.It had been over an hour since I sent word for August to meet us, and, as usual, he was late. I gritted my teeth.He always made a show of being unreachable, of having something more imp

Hunterโs POVThe night was calm, with a gentle breeze rustling the leaves of the old oak tree under which Akira often sat. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over the pack's territory. The chilly air was soothing, but I doubted it could ease the storm inside me.I hadnโt found Akira in our room earlier, but I knew where sheโd be. The oak tree had always been her refugeโ a place where she could think. As I walked toward it, my mind replayed the shocking revelations Adolf had shared.I knew tonightโs conversation would be heavy, and I hoped the peaceful night would soften the blow.When I reached the tree, there she was, sitting on the swing attached to one of its sturdy branches. Her dark hair swayed in the breeze, and her hands rested limply on her lap. She was lost in thought, so much so that she didnโt even notice me approach.I stepped closer and sat beside her, the creak of the wooden swing breaking the silence. I turned to look at her, and my chest tensed. Her fa

Hunterโs POVI sat in the corner of the faintly lit pub, my hood pulled low over my face. The smell of stale beer and fried food mixed with the faint tang of sweat and spilled liquor in the air. It was noisy, crowded, and the last place anyone would expect to find meโHunter Silver, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack.I hated being here. Not just because it was beneath me, but because it was dangerous. Any one of my enemies could be watching, ready to strike. But Adolf had insisted on meeting here, saying he had critical information about the spy in my pack. It wasnโt every day someone dared to exploit me, and I wanted to see if he was bluffing.I checked my watch for what felt like the hundredth time. One hour late. My patience was wearing thin. If Adolf doesnโt show up soon, Iโm dragging his sorry ass here myself, I thought, clenching my jaw.The occasional whispers and stolen glances from the people sitting and drinking in the pub annoyed me. Some of the people there had recognized me bu

Akiraโs POVI sat cross-legged on my bed, staring blankly at the open book in my lap. The words on the page blurred together, no matter how hard I tried to focus. I must have read the same paragraph ten times, but nothing stuck. I find myself reading the same passage close to ten times. My brain was like an empty cavern, unable to process anything.It wasnโt the bookโs fault. My thoughts were consumed by the nightmare Iโd had last night. Or was it a dream? I wasnโt sure, but whatever it was, it had shaken me to my core.Hunter had tried to reassure me. โDreams are just your mind playing tricks, you should pay more attention on it,โ heโd said earlier, pulling me close as I recounted the strange experience. But no matter how many times he said it, I couldnโt shake the feeling that the dream meant something. And aside what it truly meant, everything thing in that dream felt real, especially when my father was stabbing those women, those helpless women who did nothing wrong to him. Com

Augustโs POVThe transformation was startling. I stood by the door, watching Alpha Lupin comb his fingers through his now neatly trimmed hair, gathering it into a bun that gave him a sharp, almost regal look.He had trimmed his once unruly beard, and the wildness that had consumed him in the cave was now masked beneath a calculated exterior. Yet, his eyesโthose sharp, piercing eyesโstill burned with the same ruthlessness that had once made him the most feared name in our world.It wasnโt his appearance that commanded respect; it was the aura that clung to him, dark and unyielding. He wasnโt just an alphaโhe was a force of nature, the kind that toppled hierarchies and sent seasoned wolves cowering.โLooking good,โ I said with a sly grin, arms crossed as I leaned against the wall.Lupin turned to me, his lips curling in a faint smirk. โGood enough to reclaim whatโs mine?โโMore than,โ I replied. My chest swelled with pride. Today was the day I proved my loyaltyโand my cunning.The counc
