The Alpha's prey Chapter 143
LucianoThe sky bled grey over the eastern courtyard. It was a bit far from the manor, and here wolves disguised as humans did what they wanted. A thin drizzle fell, soaking into the training grounds and dampening the gravel into cold mud. I stood beneath the stone archway with my arms folded, watching some of the wolves spar. Each clash of blades rang through the courtyard, steel scraping steel, punctuated by sharp grunts of pain and frustration.They were getting sloppy.My wolf snarled inside me, restless. The shadows had been pulsing stronger each night, brushing against my wards like phantom claws, testing for weaknesses. And now, with Scarlett awakening, their hunger was growing.“Luciano.”Antonio’s voice cut through my thoughts like a blade. I didn’t turn as he approached, the scent of steel oil and cedar clinging to him.He handed me a rolled parchment, sealed with red wax. Blood stained the corner, smu
The Alpha's prey Chapter 42
Scarlett’s POVI didn’t understand what he said, but I didn’t get another chance to do so after he walked away, his cloak flowing like a royal garment worn by ruthless kings.For another weird reason, I liked it.The next morning, I decided I was done lying in bed. My bones were stiff, my head felt heavy with questions I couldn’t answer, and honestly… I was tired of staring at those damn curtains all day.So I dragged myself out of my room after breakfast.Rosa had tried to stop me. She’d fussed, gently smacking my shoulder with a dishtowel.“Letty, you must rest. I don’t want the boss to see you like this,” she scolded.But I just smiled tiredly at her and slipped out before she could scold me further. The marble floors were cool under my feet, grounding me with each quiet step. My fingers brushed along the walls as I walked, feeling the small ridges where ancient stones met polished newer ones. It was like walking through someone’s memories.Maybe mine.Maybe not.I didn’t care.I j
The Alpha's prey Chapter 41
Scarlett’s POVI woke up to sunlight streaming through the tall windows, painting golden bars across the dark floorboards. For a few seconds, I lay there staring up at the ceiling, feeling… well, alive. Not necessarily good, but alive.Better than screaming awake from cryptic dreams, I supposed.With a tired groan, I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. My muscles ached faintly, but it wasn’t the weakness that annoyed me most – it was the feeling of being… coddled.I glanced around the room. Someone – probably Savannah – had left a clean dress draped over the armchair by the window. Soft cream linen with faint embroidery along the sleeves. Simple. Comfortable.I pulled it on and combed my hair quickly with my fingers. No braids today. No elaborate styles. Just me, with my mess of waves falling around my shoulders.Me.Whoever that was.I pressed my lips tog
The Alpha's prey Chapter 40
Scarlett's POV I woke up to the smell of bread and honey.For a moment, I thought I was back in my old apartment, where the neighbors’ bakery downstairs always made the whole block smell like pastries in the morning. But the ceiling above me was dark carved wood with thin beams arching like ribs, and golden sunlight streamed through gauzy curtains, lighting up floating dust motes like tiny spirits.I blinked hard.Right. The manor.My chest ached with something I couldn’t name. Part of me wanted to sink back into the pillows and disappear. Another part wanted to run barefoot down the halls screaming for someone to tell me who I really was.Instead, I sighed and pressed my palms over my eyes.“Niña, you’re awake.”I jerked so hard my tea nearly sloshed onto the sheets. Rosa stood by the door with a tray balanced expertly on one hand. Her dark uniform was spotless, her hair pinned into its usual severe bun, her sharp eyes softening just slightly as they met mine.She moved forward, set
The Alpha's prey Chapter 39
Luciano’s POVThe tunnels beneath the manor always smelled the same – of damp stone, rusted iron, and old blood. The scent clung to the walls like a curse, soaking into the marrow of the earth itself. As I descended deeper into the dark, the silence pressed in tighter, wrapping around me like a lover’s hands at my throat.My wolf stalked inside me, claws scraping bone. Restless. Angry. Protective.Milo’s words echoed in my skull, each syllable a branding iron.Love her rightly… or lose her forever.I bared my teeth at the shadows. I do not need riddles from a half-blind seer to know that she is my weakness. I was not denying it.My boots struck the stone steps with steady thuds until I reached the lowest level. Two guards stood outside the reinforced iron door. Both straightened instantly at my
The Alpha's prey Chapter 37
Killian’s POVThe dagger felt cold against my thumb as I pressed it to the pad, letting its honed edge bite just enough to draw a thin bead of blood. I watched it glisten in the grey dawn light seeping through the war room windows.Outside, the forest lay silent, veiled in a heavy mist. Birds had yet to begin their mourning cries. Even the wolves patrolling below moved with unnatural quiet, their paws sinking into wet earth without a sound.My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, snarling and snapping, its hackles raised since the shadows tried breaching the borders last night. Every nerve in my body hummed with warning.Scarlett.Her name alone threatened to snap my careful composure. I tightened my grip on the dagger, turning it over to study the ancient runes etched into its blade. It had belonged to my father. A king’s dagger, forged with iron, silver, and blood spells to end traitors quickly.My gaze drifted across the misty treetops.If she awakens too soon… they will hunt her
