Lahat ng Kabanata ng Chased By The Alpha Who Loathed Me: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

"My Luna, they said you were missing." It was Irene, running towards Ophelia with her skirt fetched in her hands."Missing?" Ophelia narrowed her gaze when she got to her side. She had taken off the hood from her cloak, let her hair down, and washed her face in a stream and so the guards let her in, immediately she approached the gate."Yes, Alpha Finlay is out on the look for you," Irene blurted out.Oh, this was alarming and sort of amusing to Ophelia. She only sneaked out through the walls to head to Down Easton and she was declared missing? Could it be someone was stalking her? Why would she in her right mind run away? It crossed her mind during the first month of her marriage with Finlay because of his behavior and the way he treated her, but she could never summon the courage to do it. Her life was tied behind the thick castle walls, the heavy barrier from the outside world except she wanted to visit her family or the pack house orphanage because of the children.She didn't run

Ophelia was by the lakeshore, throwing pieces of pebbles into the lake from time to time. She was alone, temporal solitariness was required to have herself to her thoughts once in a while. This was her favorite place in terms of wanting to avoid the entire world, it felt like her own world when a single soul couldn't be found on this side. There were times she would read a series of books to live within the characters written on the pages, then she would forget about her own life with a marriage that was shitty.Tonight, she would go to Finlay be it her choice or not. He was her husband, had rights to her body but she dreaded getting intimate with a man after a year and two months. It would remind her she wasn't the only owner of her body. Her stubbornness was forming into a habit which needed to be put to stop, she was dutiful and loyal even the times he hurt her, why would she resist him now?Because Finlay would be disappointed when she would not conceive a child. And he might grow

"She worked at a tavern in Petersburg." First man."I'm certain she must've hawked her cunt during her stay." Second man."And lost count of the men she's bedded, I'll bet they'll pass for a troop of an army," this from the third man and there was a fit of laughter inside the pub."Alpha Finlay hasn't been seen with any woman since his return." Second man."It reached my hearing that his number one mistress is readying herself to pay him a visit since he hasn't invited her over," the third man stroked his nose, placed his hand on the table, and then leaned forward to the person in his direction.From a corner, a boy was playing guitar as these men and women gossiped about Finlay and Ophelia's marriage inside a pub that was jam-packed with people. Someone in a gray hooded cloak of a fine design appeared and made his way past people and tables. His height and large physique had drawn the attention of some prostitutes, but he avoided them all. His face couldn't be seen and they kept thro

"I'll bet you'll steal everyone's breath away, my Luna," Irene gushed when Ophelia stood in front of the mirror to take a look at her outfit and the way her hair was styled. "To say she's beautiful is an understatement. No one can withstand her beauty in the whole of our pack," This from lady Athena who had a bright smile on her face as her eyes admired Ophelia. "Alpha Finlay asked me to design the best dress I've ever made for any woman. I'll bet you'll be a head-turner tonight,"Ophelia forced a smile on her face.Of course, she looked pretty as they claim and it didn't seem as though they were exaggerating.But Finlay asked Athena to design that dress for her.It made her stomach churn because he was trying to be a good husband, only for the sake of taking in a second wife. Ophelia mused.The ball gown attire was made of the detachable collar of lace, ribbon, and fabric called Berthe. With an elbow-length sleeve. Smooth-fitted civil waistline just below her ribcage and not on her h

The fact that Elodie was as tall as Finlay gave them this perfect match outlook. Everything about her screamed strength made Ophelia feel as though she wasn't even deserving of the Luna's position. The woman couldn't measure up to her beauty, but she seemed to have what she could never have. Finlay's love.The man had told her he wanted only one woman, her, and not anyone else. The looks he had thrown her way when he thought she wasn't looking, the way his eyes had said so many things were all false.Worst of it all, he had made it seem as though she was the only woman at the ball, even feigning jealousy when other men approached her.But what had he gained from all of it? She wondered because it was rather futile. Ophelia swallowed back bitterness and jealousy. She had felt satisfied to see jealousy over Finlay's face without even the slightest idea that hers was in front, and a lot worse. Because to Finlay, no one could measure up to his mistress.Finlay, who had been ignoring he
