บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Sin: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

ClarissaDacre nodded his head. “Yes mam”Mrs. Bryant straightened her posture and smoothed her hair.“By any chance, is your father going to visit the council? We have heard that the rogues are getting pesky in the south so he might visit the council head to discuss the matters in detail.”Dacre rubbed his chin thoughtfully, “I am not sure mam, but I will check with him. I will also ask him to recommend you.”Mrs. Bryant began glowing like a candle flame. Being recommended by an alpha to the council head worked wonders for an Advisor’s career. She could be fast tracked on a promotion and also receive additional perks but most of all her social standing would elevate to a whole new level.While Talia looked at me and then back at the lady again, Dacre fell silent.Alfred came rushing in and he was almost dragging John along with him. “Mam, I brought John, you may note his statement.”Mrs. Bryant only gave him a frustrated look and uttered, “The case is almost solved. But yeah, I hav

ClarissaDacre winked and walked out, suggesting that the discussion had ended but I knew it was far from true.His words had indicated something but I had no idea what he had meant by that.He opened the door and walked out of the room, leaving me with no other option but to follow him.My palms were sweating again as everything he had said to begin to churn in my head, trying to make sense of it.Were there really demons encroaching on our land? And what did they want from us?I shuddered at the thought and slowly climbed down the stairs.Dacre had disappeared from the large hall but I saw someone that made me sag in relief.“Jake”Jake was our beta's son and Uncle Charlie was more of a friend than an uncle to me. From a young age, I and Talia had begun to call him ‘uncle’ and though now we were grown-ups, the habit had stuck.Jake had grown up with us and he was like my family. The moment my eyes spotted him, I ran down the stairs and almost jumped on him.Jake was tall and lanky,

DacreI knew it was a mistake, I was well aware that this mission was going to fail miserably yet I had gone ahead and screwed myself…royally at that.Silas was more than family to me. He was not only our pack’s gamma’s son but more than that. He was my best friend and a brother to me.And, Silas would never react like the way he did which was why I knew I was in trouble.Silas kept marching ahead, ignoring all my attempts to talk to him. His shoulders were tense and his posture was rigid and he was stomping forward, only grunting and looking anywhere but toward me.“Silas…will you just talk to me?”I tried again but there was no response.I gritted my teeth and kept running after him. He increased his pace and I ran towards him and yanked his hand, hard.“Just what is wrong with you?”I yelled as I lost my cool. He had walked straight into the forest and I had no idea where he was heading to. Maybe, he was just wandering around cluelessly. It was morning but the deeper he went insi

Clarissa Dacre and Silas were walking in, probably to also shove some food down their throat. They were still clad in their same clothes so I guess even they had not found a temporary place to stay. As Dacre was climbing the stairs, his gaze fell on me, and for a moment, he stilled. Silas, who had been climbing the small flight of stairs behind him, bumped into him and scowled, “Why did you stop?” For a moment, Dacre held my gaze and I thought that he would say something or come to talk to me. My face brightened a little but he simply turned to the side and occupied a table on the far end, away from us. They both walked past the table of the friends who had been gawking at me earlier. But, only now I knew that my choice of words had been wrong. What they were doing to Dacre and Silas with their eyes was gawking. They were simply staring at the two as if the boys didn’t even belong to the mortal world and were Gods who had decided to visit the puny realm of mortals. Silas turned

Clarissa I turned around and I saw Dacre standing behind me with a cocky grin. Up close he looked even more enticing and the clear blue of his eyes was reflected in the warm lighting of the mall. “At least you admit that you would not mind chasing girls” I replied and his smile widened. “Do you know what lies I had to tell Silas to come here? Poor guy is waiting by the ice cream stand or something while I am here, wondering what made you call me to a mall. I thought you might slip in the room number of your hotel.” I rolled my eyes at him and cleared my throat. “Funny. I almost laughed.” Then I took his hand and dragged him a bit farther away from the crowd to talk to him in a bit of privacy. “Miranda. I want to talk about her.” His shoulders immediately tensed and he asked me sharply, “What is there to talk about?” I placed my hands on my hips and asked, “You are hiding something from me and you lied to the council head too. Why would you do that?” He rubbed his chin though
