Semua Bab Alpha Shane: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Adea “You want to know what has pushed me so? I hate that you don’t know who you belong to yet, pet. I hate that you don’t look at me with the same yearning you did for him today. You weren’t even talking to him and the look that passed between the two of you had my blood boiling. I want to bury myself so deep in you that you only have thoughts of me. I want to erase every touch of his from your body, any memory of him, and replace it with my own. I want to burn the memory of him from your mind. I want you to want me, need me, hope for me. I want your every thought to revolve around me,” Alpha said. His grip tightened my hair. “Am I allowed to talk? Or am I only to say what you want to hear?” I spat. “No. What you have to say to me matters not. Every time you talk back, defy me, or look at me with that look in your eye it’s as if you’re calling me, reaching out to me, demanding I look at you. You continue to seek out my attention with your little acts of rebellion. You seek out my a

AdeaMy body was riddled with bruises, but it hurt even more than it looked. One second my eyes were open, the next they were closed. It hurt to breathe, it hurt to move, it hurt to think. It hurt just to grasp the sheets, but I did and I held on. I couldn’t get up, my body hurt, I was in so much pain.Light filtered through the room, warmth surrounded me and I sobbed. I don’t want to feel this, I don’t want to leave my bed of hard cold stone. I prayed for the darkness to take me out again, but it didn’t. Instead, a warm liquid caused me blink, a layer of fog lifted from my eyes. The warmth filled between my legs and continued to seep around me. I whimpered, but didn’t move. I smiled.Is this how I leave this world?This is how the Moon Goddess punishes me after my thoughts last night.Releasing the bed sheets, I reached down and spread my legs. I flinched and watched as the blood spread. I reached out and wiped it, I continued to wipe it until my fingers were covered. I gripped the b

Things continued like this for a long time—a long time for me, but just a month for others. It didn’t sound like forever, it didn’t sound like an eternity, but it felt like it, it felt longer. Thirty-one more fucking days of answering to his demands, bruised lips, bruised body from stolen kisses, and long nights of wishing for death. After the incident that resulted in a miscarriage, Alpha was careful when he beat me. He made sure to avoid my stomach and torso.Thirty-one days of furtive fucking at a drop of a hat, forced kisses, and long nights of wishing he’d get tired of me. He liked touching and seeing me when he couldn’t sleep—which felt like it was every night—and I feared the sound of the door creaking open. I hated being forced to endure his presence and having to breathe the same air has him. Most nights when he came, he brought my sister, and she watched. He never stayed longer than the time he needed to fill me with his seed.I preferred it this way though. I liked that he

AdeaLoud bells tolling are going off in my head as I close the door behind me. I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t stop now. My blood is pumping in my ears, my mind is screaming for me to throw the door open and return from where I came, but my heart… my heart is telling me I need to keep going. The idea that Mave is here doesn’t make sense. I have so many questions and I need answers.Shadows from the lanterns flickers across the walls as I head down the curved stairway. The guards are nowhere in sight and it feels as if my heart stops with every step I take. My body cries out, but I cannot be deterred. While I don’t know where she’s staying, I’m certain she cannot be far. I hold my breath as I get to the bottom of the stairway, slowing to a stop, I peer around the corner.When I realize no one is down there, I dart as fast as I can down the hallway, toward the small bridge that will take me to another flight of stairs. I’ve never been anywhere, but the main areas, the dining hall, the

Every night that welcomed me could be the night that he charged the castle with his men. I looked at the mirror, but didn’t look at my face. I kept my eyes locked on my hair. The tension mixed with excitement buzzed through the air.I failed to remember how many days had passed since the night Alpha found me in his mate’s room. I vanquished the memories of that night and the nights that followed. Beta had been by my side. The moment I started to lean on him, Alpha… Alpha… No bad thoughts, no evil thoughts, not today. Tension mixed with excitement as it buzzed through the air. I fought and failed to stop my leg from bouncing.Butterflies threatened to break loose as they fluttered against my stomach. Their need to get out matched my own. The only difference is my nails had splintered and cr
