The Alpha who was never mine Chapter 76
ElenaElena stood outside Lila’s apartment building at seven in the morning with two suitcases and a backpack, her entire life crammed into luggage she’d packed in twenty minutes while Vivian screamed obscenities from downstairs.Her arm throbbed where Vivian’s claws had torn through skin. She’d wrapped it in gauze from the bathroom cabinet but blood was already seeping through the white fabric, staining it red.Her phone had been buzzing nonstop for the last hour. Calls from Alexander that she couldn’t bring herself to answer. Three voicemails she hadn’t listened to. Text messages that just said Please talk to me and I’m so sorry and Where are you?She’d turned it on silent and shoved it in her pocket.Elena pressed the buzzer for apartment 4B and waited.“Hello?” Lila’s voice crackled through the intercom, groggy with sleep.“It’s me. Can I come up?”Silence. Then: “Elena? What are you doing here at seven in the morning?”“Please. I need somewhere to stay.”The door buzzed and Elena
The Alpha who was never mine Chapter 75: The catch
Elena Elena stood outside Alexander’s office door at midnight with her hand raised to knock, hesitating for the third time in as many minutes. He’d been avoiding her for three days. Ever since the board meeting, he’d barely looked at her. Came home late. Left early. Locked himself in his office or disappeared to the hospital for emergency surgeries that Elena suspected weren’t actually emergencies. She’d texted him twice asking if he was okay. Both times he’d replied with single-word answers that told her nothing. Something was wrong. And whatever it was, she needed to know. Elena knocked softly and heard movement inside, then footsteps approaching. The door opened and Alexander stood there in rumpled clothes, his hair disheveled and his eyes red-rimmed like he hadn’t slept in days. “Elena.” His voice was rough. “What are you doing up?” “Can I come in?” He hesitated, then stepped aside to let her pass. The office was a mess. Papers scattered across the desk. Empty coffee c

Alexander Vivian’s heels clicked against the pavement as she hurried after him. “Don’t walk away from me. We’re not done talking about this.” “Yes, we are.” Alexander pushed through the front door and headed straight for the stairs. “No, we’re not!” Vivian’s voice rose as she followed him into the foyer. “That was everything, Alexander. Everything we’ve worked for. Everything your family built. And you just threw it away like it meant nothing.” Alexander stopped on the third step and turned to face her. “I’ve been saying it for fifteen years. You just never listened.” He continued up the stairs but Vivian grabbed his arm and yanked him back. “Don’t you dare blame this on me. I have supported you through everything. Your career. Your ridiculous need to play hero at that hospital instead of focusing on what actually matters…” “What actually matters?” Alexander pulled his arm free. “You mean money? Status? Impressing people we don’t even like?” “I mean securing our son’s future

AlexanderThe conference room on the forty-second floor of Hale Industries was exactly as Alexander remembered it from the last time he’d been forced to attend a board meeting five years ago all glass and steel and intimidation, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city and a table so polished you could see your reflection in the mahogany surface.Twenty chairs surrounded that table, and nineteen of them were already occupied when Alexander walked in with Vivian at his side.His father sat at the head in a leather chair that looked more like a throne, his silver hair combed back and his suit custom-tailored to hide the way age had started to thin his frame. Richard Hale didn’t smile when his son entered, just gave a curt nod and gestured to the empty seat at his right hand.The seat reserved for the heir.Max sat three chairs down on the opposite side, his expression was neutral but his eyes tracking Alexander’s every movement like a predator watching prey.“Alexander.” Richa

AlexanderThe training yard was quiet that afternoon, just the sound of Elena’s breathing and the scuff of her sneakers against the grass as she moved through the defensive drills Alexander had taught her weeks ago.She was getting better. Faster. Her reflexes had sharpened and her strength had increased in ways that shouldn’t be possible for someone still mostly dormant.The mate bond was changing her. Waking something inside her that had been sleeping.“Again,” Alexander said, watching her reset her stance. “But this time keep your guard higher. You’re leaving your ribs exposed.”Elena nodded and adjusted her position, her arms coming up to protect her torso while she bounced lightly on the balls of her feet.Alexander moved in to test her defense, throwing a slow punch toward her side that she blocked easily. Then another. Then a third that came faster and made her stumble backward when she deflected it.“Better.” He circled her slowly. “But you’re still thinking too much. Let your

Elena woke to sunlight streaming through her window and the heavy warmth of Alexander’s arm draped across her waist.For a moment she just lay there, her back pressed against his chest while his breath stirred the hair at her nape. Safe. Complete. Like this was how mornings were supposed to feel.Then reality crashed back and her eyes flew open.Alexander was still in her bed. The sun was up. People would be awake downstairs.“Alexander.” She shook his shoulder. “Alexander, wake up.”He groaned and pulled her closer, his face burying in her neck. “Five more minutes.”“No. You need to leave. Now. Before someone sees you.”That got through. His eyes opened and he lifted his head, squinting at the brightness flooding the room. “What time is it?”“Almost eight.” Elena rolled over to face him. “Nathaniel’s probably already up. Mrs. Parker too. You have to go.”Alexander scrubbed a hand over his face and sat up, the sheets pooling around his waist. His hair stuck up in directions that would
