Semua Bab Alpha Erik: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Chapter 37 - Judgement DamonIt was like the world was moving in slow motion. I could see the moment when Alora looked at us and decided that our lives were worth more than her own. It was like I was reliving my mother's death all over again, watching her sacrifice herself to protect the ones she cared about. But this time, it hit me differently. It wasn't like the loss of my mother. It also wasn't like the loss of my mate either. Both times they destroyed me but not the way this death would. Maybe it was because Alora sacrificed herself for me or because, deep down, I knew that at some point, I had crossed a line I couldn't step back from. It had been so long since I had felt that way about a female that when it happened, I didn't realize it at the time, the unfamiliar feeling making me vulnerable to her beauty and her attitude only aiding in my confusion and anger. I was so lost in the pits of my own mind that I had become so out of touch with my own heart. It was confusing how o

Chapter 39 - Memories DamonI left Alora with Nova and Nesrin, going against everything I wanted because the council requested my presence. The last place I wanted to be right now was in that stuffy room dealing with insolent fae who disregarded my words at every turn, but I knew it was inevitable. Everyone saw us, saw her. There would be questions I would have to answer, questions I didn't want to answer right now, questions I didn't even know the answers to myself. All I wanted was to be with Alora and forget the world. She sacrificed herself to save mine and Helga's lives to save the Kingdom. Then, she was gone; I felt her die; I felt her magic leave her body. But out of some strange miracle, she was here now, and I was gifted a second-chance mate. I only knew of one other mated couple who was given such a thing: Rachel and Drake. I didn't know what to do with the newfound knowledge. I immediately wanted to claim her as mine, but my past made me second-guess it. Would she even

Chapter 41- Evasive Damon I stared at Balor, waiting for him to go into further detail. If he knew someone who could help Alora discover more about her Pheonix powers, then I was all ears. I wasn't the only one, either. The whole table seemed to go silent, waiting for Balor to tell us what he knew. Balor flashed a smile, moving to take a seat at the end of the table. Always with the long pauses and the dramatics. Balthazar was rubbing off on him; I knew I should be more concerned about that, but right now, I didn't particularly care. "You aren't going to like it. Frankly, I think it's fate's way of mocking us." He mused, resting his elbows on the table, his tattooed hands clasping together, showing off the rings that cover every finger. "Spit it out, Balor." Nesrin sighed. He placed a hand on his chest, feigning insult. "Not even a hello, these days. You all really are living up to the Jinx stories. Second class, scum who have no etiquette and are an insult to the fae Kingdom. T

Chapter 43 - WarningDamonI sat at the dais, my legs hanging over the edge as I waited for Cedric to arrive with the artifacts Alora and I asked for. Balor was right when he said the Jinx family would bargain for their priceless information. The smug look on their faces was wiped away and replaced with wide gaping mouths as they stared at the amulet in shock.Diana had muttered a curse under her breath. One I was sure she wanted me to hear because she said it so close to me. But I bit my tongue as I handed over the amulet, not wanting to risk them being stingy with their end of the deal.Alora was waiting in the Library, looking over whatever other books Audra had found for her. Now that Alora had her dream magic again, she was more determined than ever to find out what else she was capable of doing. I couldn't help but admire her for her devotion and eagerness. I was still reeling in from the mind-blowing realization that not only was Alora a rare Pheonix shifter, but she was also

Chapter 45 - Long Live The Queen Damon "Again," I commanded as Alora worked to keep the wings she had summoned to remain on her back. She had learned quickly how to handle the phoenix flames since she had already worked with the fire element. But now came the hard part, only half shifting. I did it all the time, especially in battle, morphing my nails into claws and elongating my canines. But nothing about that was easy; it came with time and practice, but Alora wanted to have it mastered. With the coronation and our mate ceremony happening tomorrow, she wanted to be better at it. Not only to prove to the council and our people that she was a worthy Queen but also to herself. I didn't want to be the one to tell her to slow down, not after she had spent so much of her life ruled under someone else thumb. But I had warned her of the risks of exhaustion and told her that when I saw fit, we would end the training for the evening.Alora begrudgingly accepted my condition, and I kept tr
