บททั้งหมดของ Take Me Back: The Alpha's Regret: บทที่ 11 - บทที่ 20

Aria The next day, we descended from Craigwood Mountain as Peter had promised. It didn’t take long before we reached a small town called Darkwood, a few miles from the base of Craigwood Mountain. To a regular human, the distance couldn’t be covered by foot. But for us werewolves, it was nothing. However, since I was wearing a dress, Peter decided to bring the truck. True to his word, he didn’t want to waste my effort of fixing myself for this occasion, and I agreed. It was a rare occasion for me to dress up like a doll, the last time being during Cassie’s grand eighteenth birthday celebration. As expected, we reached the place in no time. I scanned the outside of the bar the moment I stepped out of the truck. The place looked fancy but not in an overbearing way. It was both rustic and chic, a very unusual combination, if you ask me. Needless to say, the bar looked inviting, especially to someone like me who hadn’t been to any place like this before. There were two old trucks parke

Aria The clapping of the crowd continued, but I felt that my world stopped. I remained rooted in my spot, not knowing how to react. By the looks of it, it seemed like my body forgot how to move, as I felt nothing on it. I could only hear the wild beating of my heart and my constant breathing. I want to punch Peter so hard. How could he do this to me? Another minute had passed, and I saw the crowd begin whispering amongst each other. They started scanning the place as they waited for where the mysterious singer would come out. And though Nixon continued clapping, a string of worry could be seen on his face. On the stage, I saw Sex Deity pointing in my direction and addressing the crowd once more. “Ladies and gentlemen, again, let’s give it up for Miss Aria Williams!” Game over. I no longer had the opportunity to run away, as the crowd already knew who I was. There’s no turning back now. Even if I wanted to, I could no longer get out of this situation unscathed. “You can do it!”

Aria “An order of your apple crisp, please.” “That would be $4.98.” I handed a crisp five-dollar bill to the cashier and took the receipt. Then, I patiently waited on one of the tables for them to hand it over to me. Today was my day off. I did not have a live performance tonight so I am free to do whatever I want. “Here’s your order, ma’am. Thank you for coming and enjoy your apple crisp!” the waiter uttered. I smiled at him and waved goodbye. Then, I guided my feet toward the next block where Royal Cave was located. About two hours ago, Nixon called me and asked me to come over to the bar. He told me that Sex Deity, I mean Alpha Axel, wanted to talk to me about something. To be honest, he could have just discussed the matter with me over the phone so I didn’t need to come down from the mountain. But since Nixon stated it was important, I decided to come down and visit them. I still wondered what that talk would be about. But still, I tried my best not to think about it that much

Simon’s POVAfter long hours of walking and asking these stupid humans for directions, I finally reached the place. I looked up the bar signage to confirm whether I was on the right one Royal Cave, the signage said. I could not be mistaken. This was the bar the man I asked earlier had talked about. “Let’s see if the mouse was here,” I said to the evening wind before walking toward the front door. But not before taking out the last vial of the potion I got from a witch back in the forest of Craigwood. It was a bit expensive but it was all worth it. Normally, I would use it for my hunting spree but now, I would need this to mask my scent from Aria in case she was really here. I needed to ensure she would not go anywhere once I found her. And so, I drank the bitter, sparkly-blue liquid from the tiny bottle and headed to the front door. “Welcome to Royal Cave,” a waiter whom I bumped into exclaimed. I nodded at him in return and proceeded to one of the empty tables on the darkest corn

Aria’s POVAlpha Adrian already knows your location.Alpha Adrian already knows your location.Alpha Adrian already knows your location.Simon’s words continued to echo inside my mind. I saw him smirk seeing my reaction. “Are you the one that follows me these last few days?” I asked, hoping that he would provide an honest response. I no longer care on whether how he was able to spy on me undetected. What mattered to me now is the truth. “It wasn’t easy, I admit. But nothing a Simon Lopez couldn’t do,” he boasted. I gave it to the guy, he was good at hiding his scent. I wonder what type of black magic he was able to channel for him to have accomplished this?I heaved a sigh. I needed to gather my thoughts together. Once Simon noticed that I was distracted, it might give him the opportunity to attack. I might handle him in single combat but not in a surprise attack. Simon was one, sneaky wolf. I wouldn’t allow him to drag me back to Moon Valley and deliver me to his alpha. Not now,
