Chapter 36 Alpha Duel
~Liam~
It was almost nighttime. The pack kept pouring in into the open field in the woods, which we used for pack gatherings, often for families to hang out at night. Rigel was helping set up the bonfire, keeping his distance from me for now.
There was no laughter in their eyes. Instead, a worrying tension that they failed to hide from me. Surprisingly, the children were present, a lot of them. They could’ve chosen to stay at their homes, attending tonight’s event was optional. Pride swelled in my chest – they’re a good pack.
They could’ve berated me for accepting the challenge but here they were, supporting me. How could I possibly let them down?
A link tried to connect. It was Gale. “Alpha, everyone is in position.”
“Don’t let your guards down.”
They replied with a unified answer, in a reassuring tone.
“Yes, Alpha.”
Opening a private link with Gale, I asked, “How’d Anna take it?”
“The D

~Anna~His body went limp as he closed his eyes, lips parted, a single breath leaving his mouth.“No. No. Liam. Liam…”I slapped his face gently for a few times to wake him. He couldn’t just leave me. He couldn’t just…I screamed his name over and over as I slapped his face harder, but he didn’t respond. Sweat and blood slicked his face and arms. He had bruises all over his torso. He felt cold. Too cold like he had been submerged in icy water for hours.“Liam…” I whispered, choking at the words I wanted to say. More tears flowed as I cupped his cheek.Please open your eyes. Please… you can’t just leave me… us. The pack needs you. I need you.

~Anna~Beep. Beep. Beep.What an annoying sound.I cracked an eye open, staring at a white ceiling. To my right was a machine that constantly emitted the sound.Very annoying.I tried to sit up, but my muscles ached. I felt weak and tired all over. A muffled groan vibrated from my throat.“Anna?”Gale came into view, and I opened my other eye. He stared down at me with a slack jaw, before running out of the room.What the-“Anna?”It was Lexy this time. She came over to me, with a huge smile on her face. I smiled back, just a little. My vision was spinning, and I felt lightheaded. I shook my head gently, but it worsened the dizziness.“How do you feel?” she asked, sitting on the bed.“Ghe…” I meant to say “great” but instead managed a raspy whisper.“It’s alright. You should take it easy for now,” said Gale.
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 39 Coldest Dark
~Liam~When I came to, warmth seeped into me in electrifying currents. My lids felt heavy still, and in the darkness that I found myself floating in, I clung to this comforting warmth that melted away the cold. Here I felt nothing, heard nothing, tasted nothing beyond what was supposed to be my physical body. I contemplated if this was death, or the transition to it, but the warmth calmed me down. I could feel it inside me, coming from my wrists then up to my arms, as it dispersed through every part of me. It made me feel alive, gave me hope of something… that I couldn’t quite point out.There used to be voices I couldn’t decipher, whispers and a far distant scream. There used to be a woman with the light behind her that I couldn’t see her face. I did

~Anna~He stared at me for an uncomfortable amount of time, brows furrowed in concentration. Then he looked away with downcast eyes, sighing.“I’m sorry,” he mumbled.It had been like this for three days now. He’d randomly stare at me to figure out who I was only to look away and mumble an apology. It was painful seeing him so confused, so lost within his own world.“It’s alright,” I said as I molded my hand into his.We sat on the side of my bed in silence, waiting for Lexy and the others. They’d come every morning to check up on him, and talk to him, bringing up memories that might help him remember or at the very least trigger something.For thre

~Anna~“Will he be alright?”“I believe in him, Carson.”“Are you alright?”“We’re doing fine. Thanks for checking up on me,” I replied.“Bella, you know you can always lean on me. If anything comes up, anything at all, please give me a ring?” he asked.He’d been calling every day, something I was thankful for. I almost forgot to call him with everything that’d been happening.“You’ll be the first to know,” I told him.Liam stirred in my lap. “Got to go now. He’s awake. Talk to you soon?”“I’ll call you. Take care of yourself, Bella. Please…” he said before hanging up.
Ascension of a Gamma Chapter 42 Gamma’s Pride
~Rigel~Fuck his possessive ass if he thought he could get rid of me. I wanted to see my princess in person; it was my duty as her knight. Lexy and Gale might tell me that she was doing fine and so was Liam, but that I had to see for myself.It’d been four days. They were hiding something from me and if I found out Anna wasn’t well; someone was going to pay, preferably Gale.“Last chance,” he said as we were almost in front of her bedroom door.“I’d like to see him try.”There was no way I was letting myself get pummeled by him. Just because he was the Alpha didn’t mean he could push me around. Getting overly jealous when I was around his mate, I swear to Goddess he was the

~Anna~He settled his head at the crook of my neck and inhaled my scent. It sent shivers down my spine and his teasing soft lips on my skin made me smile.“We have to shower again,” I said, giggling.“We can shower later,” he whispered as he trailed kisses along my jaw.Sighing, I turned to my side to face him. I traced a finger on his stubble, rough and prickly. “Aren’t you hungry?”“We can eat later,” he said, taking my finger into his mouth and sucking it. This man was dangerously seductive; I could feel my core ache for him, again.I took my finger off his mouth and sat up, sheets covering me.“I have to check up on the

~Liam~Memories came flooding back to me as I watched her sleep. Everything… a blur, a flash, a series of images on play. I remembered everything… but was still a scramble.An arm flung around my waist, and her leg came over my thigh. She was anything but a still sleeper, but she looked adorable with her hair messy. My Anna, I remembered her then, as with everything else that preceded, and I understood what was happening with the pack.Luca wasn’t responding, yet. Even when I marked her and she marked me, he didn’t make his presence known. I knew he was still with me, but he was keeping himself shut off.He tried to poison me and succeeded; Luca must be in a worse condi
