An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 45: god's Favourite Son
ADRIANWeird how I've never been able to put in words my feelings for the Council. They should be the Clan's confidantes, a group I can run to when I'm seeking knowledge or experience, but I detest the old hags a bit too noticeably for either of us to play pretend. Dressing their fears up as wisdom and calling it authority, the old wolves cling to relevance while keeping their distance… like that makes them impartial. If it were in my power, I would've gotten rid of them long time ago. Unfortunately, the only thing we have in common is autonomy. They can do whatever they want, when they want. So when Liam tells me they’ve arrived unannounced, I already know this isn’t some courtesy call.They’re here because something slipped through their fingers. Alex probably didn't go down as quietly as they wanted. ---The chamber feels smaller with them inside it.Five elders, seated in a half-circle, robes heavy with sigils they no longer understand. Their scents blend together. Old par
An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 44: The Suspect List
MAYAMoments bleed into minutes, and minutes to hours. Vials, files and rivalling techniques eventually lead me to the infirmary's backroom. The hidden center that serves as the root of all my work. It smells a bit different from what I'm used to. I rarely go down here after all. Less blood and panic. Only the subtle whispers or grunts from the station above manage to filter through the walls. The scent of ash-root, binding resin, and stabilizing salts hits its peak. Raw materials whose use have nearly tripled due to the ongoing reconstruction.I grind the last of the frostleaf into a shallow bowl, careful with the pressure. Too much force bruises the veins of the leaf and dulls its effect. These particular vials aren’t for wounds, but for endurance. For Omegas and Gammas rebuilding wards that should never have failed in the first place.I seal the mixture with a flick of my fingers and whisper the final binding word.Bubbling at first, the liquid stabilizes, crisp and clean.P
An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 43: Suspect
MAYAMy mornings usually begin the same way.Open curtains while the scent of ground herbs soaking in boiled water fills the setting. On a good day, counting vials before the rest of the Calm returns is usually affair. On a busy day, exactly like today, I'd need to go through the list of the injured and recovered, adjusting treatments where need be.Routine is important when you’re responsible for keeping people alive. It steadies the hands, clears the mind, and keeps emotions from leaking into places they don’t belong.Today, it's not really working.I’m halfway through organizing the shelves in the infirmary when I realize I’ve already sorted the same row twice.I stop, exhale slowly, and rest my palms against the wooden counter.It doesn't matter how many times I beat against it, I'm very well aware of why I feel like this.Alex.The thought comes uninvited, sharp enough to sting.I tell myself not to dwell on it. I’ve had patients in worse conditions, I’ve seen stronger accusa
An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 42: Magic At The Border
SAGE“What exactly does Callum have planned for Alex?”The question's been ringing in my head since she was accused. Deep down, I felt something weird was coming. It was too easy how he broke through the Clan’s borders… for the second time in less than a month. But pulling strings to frame Alex for that?No. It didn't make sense. It still doesn't. But there's only one place I know I can get the answers to my questions. “Take some men with you. Carry along as many materials as you need. We're rebuilding it all from scratch!”Liam's thunderous voice filled the halls the next morning as most of omegas and gammas trooped out of the packhouse with a single instruction labelled on their minds. “Rebuild the border!”Somewhere up there lays the answer.So I follow them, mingling with the familiar faces to see if anyone whispers anything that should catch my attention before we arrive. But the murmurs are boring and ugly. Stuff about how divided and messed up everything's been of late…
An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 41: Teamwork... It's Temporary
ALEXIt's still morning. Maybe. I don't know.Time passes differently in confinement.There are no clocks or windows here. No scent of morning or dusk to anchor the hours. Just stone walls, iron bars reinforced with sigils, and a narrow bed pressed against one side of the room.It feels exactly like it should. A prison.I sit with my back to the wall, knees pulled in, arms wrapped tight around myself.It's not cold. Even without ventilation, I wouldn't say it's hot on here either.Just… contained.My body aches in places I don’t remember hurting, and bruises twist beneath my skin as blood pulses through me. I still feel my jaw still faintly throb when I shift it.Annoying as it is, I can't remember why.For however long has passed since I was escorted in her, I've been trying to replay whatever happened last night. Over and over and over again.But I always end up with the same merry-go-round.The Border, Callum’s voice, his offer, and then the fight.After that, nothing.Not a sin
An Alpha's Obsession Chapter 40: Accusation
ALEXI feel the pain hit first.It throbs through my skull in a dull, aching wave, slowly pulling me back into my body. My chest tightens, my limbs feel heavy. Body and soul, everything's returning at a gradual pace.But the first sense that kicks in is scent. The scent of crushed herbs and a stinging concoction.Bitter and clean, but it's awfully familiar.“Mmm…” I try to move, and immediately regret it.“Oh— no, no, don’t do that.”Hands press gently against my shoulders, firm but careful, and a steady warmth follows soon after. “Alex, easy. You’re awake. That’s good. Just… take it easy for a second.”That voice.Maya's voice. My lashes flutter open, and the ceiling above threatens to collapse down on me. The light from outside slowly bleeds into shape. I blink a few times, until her face comes into focus.She replies with a warm smile, but it doesn’t reach her eyes.“There you are,” she says, relief enveloping her tone. “You gave us a scare back there.”“Huh?” I croak.My thro
