Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 57: Closer Than Skin
SELENE’S POV Morning light slipped through the tall windows of my room in Ironfang and painted thin gold stripes across the cream carpet. I woke slowly, body heavy, every muscle reminding me it had been through hell. The cuts on my stomach and thighs had scabbed over, but moving still pulled at them like tiny threads being tugged. My ribs ached when I breathed too deep. I lay there a minute, staring at the ceiling, listening to the faint hum of the city far below.Caelum had left me alone last night. He’d shown me where everything was, the bathroom stocked with fresh towels, the closet full of clothes he’d had brought in, the small sitting area with a view of the forest beyond the glass towers, and then he’d said goodnight at the door. I’d lain awake a long time after he left, replaying Darius’s words from the morning I packed. We’d been alone in my room at Bloodfang. Darius had pulled me against his chest, arms wrapped tight around me like he could shield me from the weekend ahead.
Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 56: Weekend Promises
CAELUM’S POV I stood in the doorway of the guest room watching Selene pack her things. She moved carefully, still sore from the cuts and bruises Ronan left behind. Every time she bent to pick something up I fought the urge to step forward and do it for her. She’d hate that. She’d already told me twice she wasn’t broken, just healing. I believe her, mostly. Darius leaned against the wall beside me, arms folded, watching her the same way I did. We hadn’t spoken much since the infirmary. Words felt too small for what we’d both almost lost. Selene zipped the small duffel closed and turned. Her eyes flicked between us. “I’m ready.” Darius pushed off the wall first. He crossed the room in three long strides and pulled her into his arms. She went willingly, cheek against his chest, hands fisting the back of his shirt. I looked away for a second, an old habit, but forced my gaze back. Watching them together didn’t burn the way it used to, it just ached. Darius dipped his head, lips brush
Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 55: Safe in the Wreckage
SELENE’S POV I jolted awake gasping, my lungs burning like I’d been underwater too long. Sweat soaked the thin hospital gown, plastered it to my ribs and back. My heart hammered so hard I felt it in my throat, in my fingertips, and behind my eyes. It felt like Ronan’s hand was still clamped over my mouth and his knife still glinted. The dark room still pressed in.I thrashed once, hard, before my brain caught up with my new reality. There were no ropes, no hood, and no cold stone digging into my spine. Around me were white walls, soft beeping from a machine beside the bed. There was this strong antiseptic smell in the air, and a thin blanket tucked around my waist. I was in a hospital. Someone brought me to safety. I was indeed alive. The realization hit like a punch and stole my air all over again.I turned my head slowly, terrified I’d see Ronan’s face instead of safety.Darius slept on my right, slumped in the narrow chair they’d dragged right up to the cot. His head rested on th
Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 54: Blood and Lies
DARIUS’ POV Ronan’s words kept looping in my skull like a blade stuck on repeat. “Too bad Darius won’t see his pup be born.”I hadn’t slept since I heard them, I mean I couldn’t sleep. Because every time I closed my eyes I saw Selene with a rounded belly, smiling at me, then bleeding out on cold stone while Ronan laughed. The image made bile rise in my throat. But I was in serious doubt. I have always had my suspicions about Ronan from the very first night Selene went missing. The way he had made everything look like the Shadow Council had a hand in her disappearance made me feel like he was up to something dangerous. But sitting here right now and thinking about what he said last night in that tunnel made me think differently. Ronan hadn’t gone to meet with Selene in that tunnel, in fact he had gone to his usual hide out. We’d made sure to search properly after he left, but there was no trace of Selene in there. And that brought me to my second doubt, the pregnancy. How was it
Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 53: Cracks in Loyalty
CAELUM’S POV Two days.Forty-eight hours of empty rooms, cold trails, and Darius looking more dead than alive.I stood in the war room doorway watching him. He hunched over the long oak table, palms flat on the map like he could force answers out of the ink. His shoulders were rigid, knuckles white. The same black shirt he'd worn since the night she disappeared clung to him, wrinkled and stained with sweat. His hair stood up in spikes where he'd dragged his hands through it too many times. Dark circles carved hollows under his eyes. He hadn't slept, he hadn’t eaten more than a few bites of bread someone shoved at him yesterday. Every time a warrior came in with a report he lifted his head like a drowning man surfacing for air, his hope flickering, only for it to die when the news was the same.Nothing, no lead on who took her. We had spent the past two days laying tracks on the Shadow Council. We suspected them, but the truth is they never took her. There was no scent trail beyond t
Fated To The Alphas Who Despise Me Chapter 52: Voice in the Dark
SELENE’S POV The ropes had rubbed my wrists raw. Every small shift sent fresh stings up my arms, but I kept tugging anyway, testing for any give. There was none. My back ached from being pressed against the damp stone wall for hours, maybe days. Time blurred down here. There were no windows, no cracks of light, just the same suffocating black that made my eyes ache from straining to see something, anything.My cheek still pulsed where he’d hit me. The skin felt tight and swollen. Dried blood cracked every time I opened my mouth. My tongue kept finding the split inside my lip. Copper and salt. I swallowed it down with whatever spit I had left.Footsteps came again, this time it was heavier, and it was coming towards me. The same low voice cut through the dark. Familiar in a way that made my stomach lurch. I knew that cadence—I’d heard it in passing orders, quiet commands in the halls of Bloodfang. But the hood muffled it, turned it into something distorted and wrong.“You’re quiet to
