Lahat ng Kabanata ng Winning Over the Alpha: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

~Tessa~ In the early morning hours, Tessa wandered into her office. She was skimming through all the reports Dainin’s pack sent over before they arrived in Maine. “There has to be something we’re missing,” she thought, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Tessa glanced at the clock on her desk to find it was only four am. She stretched, wishing she was still curled up with Dainin, especially after the night they shared, but her mind would not let her rest. It was buzzing with different motives John might have against Dainin’s pack and if they overlooked anyone as a suspect from White Sand. She was about to go through Dainin’s folder again when she heard a light knock on the door. “Come in,” she called out, already knowing who it was. Zander stepped in with a grim expression. “It’s a little early to already be down in the dumps, isn’t it? Is Cadence giving you the cold shoulder,” she teased, placing the folder down with a smirk. Her face immediately fell when her cousin remained

~Tessa~ Tessa stood frozen in place as she watched Dainin’s wolf retreat into the woods. “What have I done,” she asked her wolf but was met with silence. Tessa couldn’t blame her for being angry. She had been begging Tessa to talk things out with Dainin all day, but she stubbornly refused. Now her decision may have cost her everything. Dainin’s rejection of her touch fueled her need to feel him, to be reassured they were still connected. Tessa desperately opened their bond but was met with a rush of hurt and betrayal. Her hand grabbed at her chest as the pain overwhelmed her, causing her knees to buckle and tears to instantly fall from her eyes. She did this to Dainin. She made him experience these terrible feelings by not trusting him. Everything was moving in slow motion and Tessa didn’t realize she was holding her breath until a hand grasped her shoulder. She gasped for air and when her spotted vision cleared she met Zander's apologetic eyes. He opened his mouth to speak but se

~Tessa~ It felt like Tessa had been running through the forest for hours. She had been separated from Zander and felt like she was stuck in limbo. After deciding to scratch a mark into each tree she passed, Tessa discovered she’s been following the same path for four laps now. This solidified her suspicions that magic was at play here. Somehow, she was trapped in an illusion and needed to find her way back to her territory. The more concerning fact was that her link was cut off from the pack and Dainin. She could feel their connection through the bond, but it wasn't enough. Tessa wished he were with her and missed him more and more with every passing second. Finding herself lapping the path for the fifth time, Tessa noticed the clouds finally began disappearing to reveal a pale moon and it felt like she had just been pulled out of a haze. “Alpha! Are you there," Cadence’s voice screamed in her head, causing her wolf to wince and growl at the sudden intrusion, but they were grateful

~Dainin~ Dainin tried to break free from the silver chains but his attempts were in vain. The combination of silver, and the wolfsbane they injected into his neck, weakened him to the point he couldn’t even break the wooden chair he was shackled to. His body became soaked in sweat from his efforts, making him feel helpless and pathetic. “I will rip you apart if you touch a hair on her head,” Dainin threatened, his voice becoming hoarse from all the yelling. He knew he was alone, but he didn’t care. Tessa and his pack were in danger and he was determined not to fail them as he failed his parents. Knowing they were killed by this monster saddened him, but he offered them shelter and protection. His father arrogantly refused, wanting the freedom to be a womanizing alcoholic and his mother blindly followed her mate. It pained Dainin to see her so lost from despair after suffering for years over his infidelity. They were simply existing in this world, but Dainin still wondered if he sho

Warning: Violent Content~Tessa~Tessa froze in place as she watched the hideous creature admire John's heart. Her stomach churned when it slowly licked up along its blood-covered arm before its long tongue passed over the organ."I knew he would taste like a coward," it sneered, throwing the heart to the Rogues as if it were a treat for a dog. Tessa watched appalled as they fought over it until a chill brought her attention back to the red eyes of the beast."He was talking way too much," it huffed in annoyance as it stepped over John's lifeless body. "Attack," it ordered, waving its hand carelessly in the air.In seconds, the Rogues charged forward clumsily running into one another, snapping their jaws. Tessa wasted no time in signaling her snipers to pick off the first wave with their silver bullets, causing them to instantly fall to the ground. The beast snarled in anger signaling all the Rogues to attack at once."Stay in groups," Tessa ordered, taking off through the field. Her w
