Semua Bab Kissed by the Alpha's Inferno: Bab 161 - Bab 170

Danika’s POV.-“What? Don’t just stand there and give me that look,” I say sternly with a hairband clutched between my teeth as I stare at Charles standing across the island counter. He looks at me with bewilderment, lovely blue eyes with astonishment, and I huff and avert my eyes.Suddenly, he’s leaning forward with his hands flattening over the countertop to pass in alarm across to me, “Are you crazy? Do you even listen to yourself?”Snatching the hairband from my teeth, I growl at him to ward him off, but he deepens his frown at me. ‘You can’t keep bullying him all the time as you please, Dani,’ Violet sniggers at me who puffs my cheeks with a shameful blush as I turn away from him to tie my hair in a ponytail.“Don’t turn your back on me, you have to listen to me.”Lowering my arms and shrugging, I don’t obey him and instead, ignorantly pick up the paper document on the main counter next to the microwave. I hear him sigh behind me and smile as I listen to his footsteps

Danika's POV.-"I will never desert you, and neither do I hate you, Danika."We remain in this position for several minutes, with Charles comforting and reassuring me, and me relieving the burden in my chest and relishing in the comforting warmth of my mate. That's until Liam's cry forces us apart. We separate abruptly. Charles clears his throat and keeps his face away while pretending to adjust his ashen Blazer. I flush simply and turn around, hastening to go attend to my baby boy. Done breastfeeding Liam, he shows me a gummy smile as I walk out of the bedroom and back into the living room. I pull his chubby cheek tenderly as I tease, "You don't miss your sisters, do you? They're having fun at their sleepover without you."His innocent laugh resounds in the air, making me smile with adoration. It's almost an effective charm to ward off the lingering shadows of my misery. If only I didn't hurt so much at the moment. I feel unfair like I shouldn't try to muster happiness in the slig

Danika's POV.-"Bye, girls."Waving at Bloom and Chestnut after they hurry toward the exit to meet Mai, my hand trembles, my fingers curl a bit, and my smile drops ruefully. As if sensing the drastic descent of my mood, I watch how they both stop suddenly, and as I attempt to compose my false countenance and ask them what's wrong, they stun me when they both come racing toward me out of the blue.They both embrace me, their charge pushing me back a bit as I blink down at them with surprise. Looking up at me with their arms wrapped tightly around my legs, I hear their emotional voices flare in my mind.'Mommy, please don't cry anymore. We know you did your best to find our brothers and sisters.''You're making us sad too, our brothers and sisters wouldn't be happy to see you like this.'Acting stunned right now will only be self-deceit. I don't always have to say it outright to these smart girls, they never fail to uncover my true emotions no matter how hard I try to conceal them. Th

Danika's POV.-With Liam slung against my back, fastened tight, I grab my girls and we hasten down the stairs with urgency. I can't believe it. The restaurant is on fire? What happened? I'm so afraid as Mai's trembling voice reiterates this in my mind. That was all the broken teen could pass across, the rest were drowned in her sobs."Danika!"Flinching out of my thoughts, I realize we're out of the apartment building and into the night. Upfront, there's a familiar red sports car and a face looking out of the driver's window."Uncle Charles!"The girls scream and I snap out my daze, gripping their hands tight as I hasten us to the car. Charles steps out, looking disheveled and distraught. And I know he must've heard of the fire.He assists the girls into the back while saying in a perilous voice, "Feng Xi suddenly called...he said there was a sudden explosion in the kitchen and the fire began."I scrunch my brows with tension and get into the front quickly with him as we accelerate

Danika's POV.-The engine of the car dies quietly as we pull up at the curb. Their voices are audible, making me fester a nasty frown as I push my body forward between the two seats in front and twist my neck to stare out through Charles's window."There's an old bar behind that alley. It's where they frequently commit their crimes out of sight," Charles reports, further indenting my frown."I see," I growl reproachfully, my voice a terrible strain. "That's why they're harassing those girls."I spare no moment to see the display of shock on their faces as I jump out of the car, tagging Taren with me. "We have to hurry or those girls will be in danger," I pick up my pace, hastening down the dark narrow corridor that the streetlight can't penetrate. "No- n-no! Let us go!""Abigail!"My jaw clenches rabidly and Violet begins to stir vehemently. In a blinding flash, I breeze through the rest of the alley and burst out into a place that matches Charles's description."Huh? Seems your sh
