CHAPTER 12

ERIC’S POV

I didn’t know what came over me. But I couldn’t just stand there and watch him hurt her. I hated seeing her hurt. I hated seeing her cry. I hated seeing her in pain. So I intervened.

My hand moved on its own to hold Nolan’s wrist, stopping him from digging her face into the bowl of mashed potatoes for the third time. I mean, who the fuck does that? Who on earth punishes someone like that just because they refused to eat? Who on earth tortures or punishes people the way he does? No human being should be allowed to experience that amount of pain.

My fingers curled tightly around his wrist, my grip firm and brute as if to squash his wrist bones. A dark cloud of anger overshadowed me. One I haven’t felt before. Not even in all that time I used to fight at the Blood Pit.

I felt something beastly take control over me. More than anything, I wanted to haul him across the room and smash his head against the wall till his brains spilled out. I could do it because

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   A Stranger In The House

    CHAPTER 52ADRIANNA’S POVAs I followed closely behind him, we walked in silence so sharp, it cut through me, making my insides bleed. My mind raced with different thoughts. Conflicting thoughts that threatened to wreck me apart.I wanted to tell him how sorry I was. I wanted to lie to him that I wasn’t trying to escape. That was the real reason I left: to go get that hidden money from my father’s house, and after that, return to the house. I wanted to tell him that Alpha Nolan was dead, and our pictures were flying around the kingdom because they thought we were responsible for it—a puzzle I couldn’t piece together no matter how hard I tried.Maybe he knew from how he reacted—so unbothered when those guys recognized him as the person in the picture and said he'd be coming with them. He wasn’t home almost throughout yesterday, so there was a possibility he was aware of it. But if he was then why didn’t he tell me about it? I wanted to know how Nolan died, who did it, and how on earth

    CHAPTER 51ERIC’S POV“Who is the one smirking now?” I said with a smug grin spreading across my face as I looked down on him.Glancing up, I could see the other one had retreated, screaming for help as he ran for his life out onto the road like he had encountered a hideous monster.I wanted to chase after him and catch him. I wanted them to individually pay for what they did to Adrianna. But time wasn’t on our side; we needed to make it back to the house in the next minute. Nonetheless, I had marked his face, engraved it like a scar in my head. One day, we will cross paths, and that day, I’ll make sure he suffers a fate far worse than what I was doing to his colleague.“Your friend left you,” I said, returning my gaze to the trembling wreck on the ground. “How noble of him.” My voice dripped with sarcasm. “He ran before I could get my hands on him… which means, lucky you—you’ll get to fill in for him and take his share of the pain.”“Please…” he pleaded, pitifully, dragging his body

    CHAPTER 50ERIC’S POV“Eric be careful…” Adrianna blurted out on seeing the weapon.I stopped in my tracks, but the raging expression in me was still there, deepening and becoming more intense with each passing moment.“Easy there tough guy,” Kanute said with a smug smile, the giggling noises from his fellow only making him double his effort, making him feel mighty and untouchable. “Take another step forward and I swear, I’ll blow your brains to a fucking pulp,” he said it like he meant it. “Now, get on the floor and put your hands over your head. We’re taking you with us.”“You said it like a fucking cop,” his fellow nudged him playfully and they giggled in unison, their faces lit with juvenile delight—smiles that only pissed me off more. This seemed like a fucking game to them, and they were enjoying it to the point of lunacy, like two kids high on chaos and too far gone to realize they were poking a beast.Normally, when people see me like this, they’re enveloped with a bone-deep f

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   Found her

    CHAPTER 49ERIC’S POVI nearly lost hope, thinking I had lost her forever. Now out of the long hidden pathway that led out of the house, I couldn’t see her. There was no sign of her on the narrow roads, corners, or anywhere. She might have left this part of the kingdom already. The thought of that made panic curl around my spine like a serpent.‘No…’ I tried to convince myself otherwise, holding onto the hope I knew I didn’t have. She didn’t know her way around this area so navigation will be quite difficult, slowing her down. I can still find her. I know I will. I just hope it’s not too late.It was still early in the morning—too early for the streets to be crowded. That worked in my favor. With fewer eyes around, the risk of someone recognizing me was low. I had left the house in a rush, without a hoodie, cap, or anything to conceal my identity. If anyone had seen that photo of us circulating across the kingdom, recognizing me would be as easy as solving a kid’s puzzle.Adrianna was

    CHAPTER 48ADRIANNA’S POVScrambling to my feet, I wanted to run when a strong grip tightened around my hair, stopping me and pulling me back.“Tch… Tch… Tch… Tch…” Rico clicked his tongue in mock pity, his smoke laden breath heating the back of my neck, everything about him reeking of weed and piss. “Nice try, little mouse, but there is no way we’re letting our million-dollar reward get away like that.”His grip tightened around my hair causing a sharp sting to spread across my scalp. In a bid to dull the searing pain, I clutched my hands around the back of my head where he had me, trying to tear off his grip. But it was impossible. He had folded my strands twice around his palm, his grip so firm it felt like a vice clamped onto my skull.“Please stop…” I pleaded, crying out in agonizing pain. “You’re hurting me… please…”“Well, you're being a squirming little pest!” He snarled through gritted teeth. “Stop putting up a fight and stop trying to wrench free. Only then will it hurt less

  • Saved By The Hidden Alpha King   The Accusation

    CHAPTER 47ADRIANNA’S POV“No…” I quivered, trying to crawl away from them but they had me trapped. “Please… let me go… You’ve got it all wrong. I’m not the one in that photo… You’re clearly mistaken me for someone else. I’ve never even been in a photo before…”I tried to explain but it seemed to fall on deaf ears. Kanute crouched beside me and brought his hand forward to show me the picture. “Are you trying to say we’re dumb or what?” He cocked a brow, his tone edged with annoyance. “Or you’ve never seen a mirror in your life before to know what the fuck you look like?”Slowly, without saying a word, I moved my head from side to side in response so as not to provoke him further. Squinting my eyes, I jutted forward to get a clear view of the picture he was holding before me. As I did, my breath caught in my throat, as I saw it was a portrait photo of Eric and me. My gaze floundered in confusion as I stared at him helplessly, struggling to wrap my head around the situation. What was
