The Alpha who was never mine Chapter 38
Elena Arms wrapped around Elena from behind Harper and Lila both grabbing, pulling, their fingers digging into her arms and waist. “Elena, stop!” Harper’s voice cracked. “Please!” The she froze. Her vision cleared. The red haze lifted. She looked down at her hands still reaching, almost clawed. The horror slammed into her chest. What the fuck had she just done? Ethan was pressed against the elevator doors, blood trickling from his temple where he’d hit the metal. His eyes were huge, terrified of her. Elena stumbled back into Harper and Lila’s arms. Her whole body started shaking. “I…” Her voice came out broken. “I didn’t…” People crowded the hallway now, phones out, recording. Lila was saying something but Elena couldn’t hear past the roaring in her ears. She ripped free from their grip and ran. Down the hallway through the stairs. Her feet hammered against concrete, her breath tearing through her throat. She burst out into the parking lot and fumbled for her keys, her hand

Elena Lila’s apartment was packed wall-to-wall with people Elena barely recognized. Music thumped through speakers someone had set up in the corner, bass vibrating through the floor. The kitchen counter was covered in bottles and red cups, the coffee table buried under gift bags and wrapped boxes. Elena stood near the window nursing a drink she hadn’t touched, watching Lila laugh with a group of friends by the makeshift bar. “You came.” She turned. Ethan stood there holding two beers, his smile careful. “It’s Lila’s birthday.” “I meant you actually showed up.” He held out one of the beers. “I wasn’t sure you would after… you know.” Elena didn’t take the beer. “After you ignored my calls for three days?” “I wasn’t ignoring you. I was giving you space like you wanted.” “Right.” Ethan’s jaw tightened. He set both beers on the windowsill. “Can we talk? Please?” “We are talking.” “Somewhere private.” Elena looked around the crowded apartment. Every surface was c

Alexander Hale Alexander hadn’t set foot in Hale Industries in eleven years. The building looked the same forty-two stories of steel and glass stabbing into the Ravenwood skyline, the company logo etched across the entrance in letters taller than a man. His father had built this from nothing. Turned a small construction firm into an empire that shaped city skylines across three continents.He had walked away from all of it. He pushed through the glass doors. The lobby sprawled out before him marble floors polished to a mirror shine, chrome fixtures catching afternoon sunlight, walls lined with photographs of buildings his father’s company had erected. Tokyo. Dubai. New York. London. Legacy, his father called it but Alex grew hating it and saw it as prison “Alexander.” He turned. Richard Hale stood in the doorway to the executive chamber, older than Alexander remembered. Thinner. His shoulders slightly hunched under his tailored suit. But when he smiled, his whole face lit up. “

Elena Elena had been dodging Ethan’s calls for three days straight. Seventeen missed calls. Twenty-three text messages. All variations of the same thing: We need to talk. Where are you? Are you mad at me? Elena, please. She deleted them without reading past the first line. Harper had texted too, asking if she was okay, if something happened. Elena told her she was fine, just busy. Harper didn’t push. Now Elena stood in the dressing room at Nordstrom, staring at herself in a black dress that Lila had shoved through the curtain, while her friends argued on the other side. “Try the red one!” Lila called out. “The black makes you look like you’re going to a funeral.” “Maybe that’s the vibe,” Elena muttered. “What?” “Nothing. I’ll try the red.” She changed into the red dress short, tight. It made her look older. Dangerous. Like someone who didn’t give a fuck. She stepped out of the dressing room. Lila whistled. “There she is. That’s the one.” “It’s too much.” “It’s perfect.”

Elena Elena pushed through the front door just as the sun dropped behind the hills. Her body ached from sitting in Harper’s cramped dorm chair for hours, her neck stiff, her back protesting every movement. The house was empty. Mrs. Parker’s car was gone from the driveway. Dr. Alex’s study door was closed, a thin line of light underneath. Elena climbed the stairs and went straight for the pill bottle on her nightstand. Her skull felt like someone was taking a hammer to it from the inside. She shook out two pills and dry-swallowed them, gagging slightly as they scraped down her throat. Then she sat on the edge of her bed and waited. Twenty minutes. That’s how long it took for the fog to creep in. First the pounding in her head dulled to a manageable throb. Then the sounds bleeding through the walls a car passing outside, the hum of the refrigerator downstairs faded to background noise. Finally that restless, crawling feeling under her skin eased enough that she could breathe withou

Elena Elena walked over and opened the door slowly. Ethan stood there in the hallway, his jaw tight, his eyes harder than she’d ever seen them. “How did you know where Harper lives?” “Does it matter?” His voice was clipped, cold. “We need to talk.” “Harper’s sleeping. Can we do this outside?” “We are outside.” He crossed his arms, his shoulders tense. “You blew off my family. Again. Do you have any idea how that made me look?” “I’m sorry. I forgot about dinner and then Harper called and…” “You forgot.” His laugh came out harsh, bitter. “You forgot about meeting my parents. About the dinner my mother spent all day preparing. You just forgot.” Elena’s stomach twisted. “I had a lot on my mind and…” “What’s going on with you?” He stepped closer to the doorway and Elena’s grip tightened on the doorframe. “You’ve been distant for weeks. You won’t let me touch you. You cancel plans. You disappear without warning. And now you’re blowing off my family to play nurse for some
