Chapter 96

Mrs. Locke's skin glistened under the bright light. Against the soft lines of old age, she definitely maintained taking care of herself. I wondered how proud Mr. Locke must have been.

"You said you're the Watcher of this fortress. What does that mean?"

"Oh, that's a story I like to tell." She shifted into a more comfortable position, crossing one leg over the other as she sank into her seat. "My family has been here since the dawn of the fortress. Since it was first built."

"Wow..."

    Chapter 103A thousand and one thoughts warped themselves like barbed wire along my train of thought. And so when the weight beside me on the mattress shifted and stirred, I immediately noticed.Especially when the pressure lifted entirely. I opened my eyes.Silently, Kai closed the door behind him and I propped myself up. A sigh escaped me from morning weariness before I got into my flip flops and followed behind him.I made certain to keep enough distance between us. This part of the fortress was one I hadn't been to before.Kai and I had slept together last night, following the promise we'd made—to say nothing—and though it was awkward at first, it gave us both a measure of comfort.Focusing back on my target, I followed him up the staircase that led to a less ventilated corridor, eventually reaching a room where he stopped and walked inside.Hesitation stopped me for a moment.

    Chapter 102Kai's POV"How much did you hear?" I muttered as I stepped out.Mrs. Locke tilted her head, watching me with weary but warm eyes.My heart was heavy, but I concealed it behind a deadpan expression as we drew closer. Comfort, however, waltzed into my bones upon seeing her. I hadn't seen Mrs. Locke in ages, and it was strangely reassuring to know she had grown older... still here, still standing."Not enough to fully grasp what was happening," she replied with her usual gripping warmth that melted the heart. "But..." Her fingers snapped up between us. "I know your wife loves you greatly. Alex is a blessing any Alpha could ask for.""How would you know?" My voice came out thick and guttural, almost bouncing off the confined walls.I was a little over six when I last stepped between these walls, and I didn't remember them being this cramped.A few scenes drifted through my mind. That had been a traumatic time for me, but I had been saved by the Lockes."I've had the grace to s

  • Stealing My Best Friend's Alpha   Chapter 101

    Chapter 101My journey back home was laced with a labyrinth of harsh thoughts. They spiralled through my mind, bombarding me so relentlessly that they became more of a headache.Leo was changing, and this new personality scared me.It was certain he had nothing more to lose, so whatever could he do now?I thrust forward as the car engine chortled to a stop. My lashes battled, casting the view of the fortress before me."Thank you," I said to the taxi driver before climbing out.Shutting the door behind me, I caught his gracious smile. The good man hadn't collected a fee, and I was grateful because I hadn't had one to give to begin with."It's not every day I carry a Luna. The gods must have blessed me today," he had mentioned earlier.To use teleportation was to drain myself, and to channel a portal yielded no less of the same result, so it was better to opt for a drive. The only con was the sluggishness that came with it.Inside the towering walls of the fortress, I headed towards my

  • Stealing My Best Friend's Alpha   Chapter 100

    Chapter 100Leo stood before the cabin, hands buried in his pockets, and it made me think he was more audacious than I had imagined. The lamp hung beneath the roof glinted off his hair, casting shadows across his face in a way that seemed to harden his resolve.He waited for me to approach.“You found your way here.”“I can teleport,” I responded curtly.He rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers. “Oh, right. I forgot.”I wrapped my hand over my chest. “How do you know so much about my powers?”The question had lingered in my mind all the way here.He tsked and turned toward the entrance. “You forget I spent time with your ex,” he said, then glanced at me when I scowled. “Oh, believe me, I certainly didn’t sleep with him. He’s such bad taste, and I'm not some cheap Omega. I didn’t even look at him that way at all.”I swallowed a lump that left me feeling strangled. The intent behind his words was obvious, and it stung more because I had still come to his abode.“Let’s get this finishe

  • Stealing My Best Friend's Alpha   Chapter 99

    Chapter 99KAI’S POVThe young night bore witness to a chitchat between my wolf and I, more like a confrontation rooted in our differences.“Frederick is a nuisance. You made us trust him. He’s a narcissist. He cares nothing for our achievements, even if it is for the good of all,” I snapped at the aura of my wolf before me.My body remained in contact with the earth. The wetness of the grass from the earlier downpour and the subtle scent that followed the rain lingered in my senses.“This is no time to hesitate. Information to Nathan must be with one of his men. This is the best approach,” my wolf snarled.“Or we could have simply involved Alex in our plans and had him help us. We both saw his ability. He is ten thousand soldiers in one body.”“Surely, turning our mate into a weapon would be befitting,” my wolf mocked.It came out nonsensical. The beast lacked humor. He was created for war, blood, undying loyalty, but definitely not humor.“That’s not what I meant,” I shrugged, steer

    Chapter 68KAI's POVThough the night glistened beneath the moon, an uneasiness lingered in the atmosphere it created.I crouched at the edge of a shipping container at the harbour, my eyes fixed on the ocean ahead, where the darkened clouds drifted across the sky and their reflection rippled over

    Chapter 67The lavish chambers of Alpha Frederick welcomed me with ample ventilation, allowing the sunbeams to pour through, illuminating the beauty of the beige-painted walls, imported furniture, and flower pots stationed by every doorway.While Marcellan stayed outside, Alpha Frederick's guards l

    Chapter 60It was a vast space.It was shadowed by the darkness of many lost souls.Maybe I could really hear their wails, or it was merely a hallucination, but wherever this was, it sucked.Feeble, rounded ambient lights floated in the air. They were all around me, everywhere I looked, yet they se
