Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Azriel: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

As the days go by, I find myself stuck doing things that I never liked doing. Data work. I miss my early morning rounds now, miss my supervisor’s droning, heck I even miss the nitpicks of the senior doctors, who always seemed to glare at us and made us do all the grunt work in the beginning. I have already heard enough whispers about Azriel, about his ill-temper and attitude, about him being arrogant and recluse. In his wing, there are a lot of people working, but none of them seem to look happy. Only James is cordial enough while the others don’t even bother to spare me a glance or give me the respect that a beta deserves. I blink back to reality, blink blearily at another excel sheet that yet again contains details of members working in the palace. I am not sure why I am matching and verifying their details, but I can say that there’s funny business going on in this palace. Frustration also built as neither Azriel nor anyone said anything about the letter. I stab the keys with my

True mates are unheard of. Soul mates are a thing of the past. Nowadays, there are only chosen mates. I don’t know what divine intervention took place in our evolution, but one fine day or eventually, people did not find themselves being face to face with their soulmates, the fated ones. Gradually, the Elders decided that betas won’t mate with alphas because betas and alphas just aren’t right. There have been plenty of cases in the past where a beta has failed to give birth and an alpha had to seek after an omega. From then on, it was established that alphas and omegas are compatible, and to make sure that the progeny doesn’t fizzle out, resulting in our extinction, they made sure everyone followed it. Especially the royals. Alphas always choose omegas, while betas, gammas, and deltas are left to pick someone from either of the three ranks. However, alphas sleep with betas, male or female. Omegas sleep with gammas or deltas, gender no bar. This arrangement is also made for another re

“I did not know alpha… I…” James stutters over the phone. I glance back at Aysel’s sleeping form before speaking. “You knew very well and that is why you sent her with the pill bottle. You know this kind of meds don’t work for me and yet….” I say through my clenched teeth. Rowan thunders in the back of my mind, still struggling to take control, needing to take control to claim Aysel, but that cannot be done. Alphas and betas can never be together. “Why?” I ask, my voice quivering with anger. Now that I have started my rut with her, I have to finish it with her. “You… have not spent your ruts after…” James trails off, sounding flustered. I close my eyes and take in a steady breath. He is an old employee, Azriel, you cannot unleash your anger on him. “Bring some ration for the next few days,” I finally say. “Yes, alpha,” comes James’ eager assent. “And make sure no one starts running off their mouths. Keep an eye on Aiden’s men and Father’s as well.” James hums in acknowledgment b

My hands tremble as I stare at the hastily scribbled letters. Kai’s handwriting wasn’t so…. Ugly. In fact, it was I who couldn’t write in a legible manner even if I tried to. Was he scared as he wrote this? Did he know that someone was after him when he was jotting this down? I bring the book to my chest, hugging it as tears roll down my cheeks. I don’t know why I am crying, just that… it must have been so painful for him, he must have been so scared… Then why did he come here? Why did he stay despite the dangers? Why did he leave…?Should I show this to Azriel? Would he be of any help? What if he takes this to the alpha king? No… he wouldn’t, would he? Now that I know of the existence of this notebook, I don’t think I can keep it where I found it. I look around frantically, to find a place where I can hide it, but that won’t be easily found if they searched... well, if the time came.I jump when there’s a knock on the door. Hastily, I place the notebook where it was and place the woo

The party is held for high society people, strong and wealthy packs to schmooze with the royalties. My eyes narrow at Denzel, Kai, and Aysel’s asshole of a father. I have heard Kai swear when his name would somehow pop up. Kai never told me why he joined the Royal pack when he so obviously hated it.Denzel like was an old shark, and I knew somehow, he was one of my father’s men.“Aysel,” Aiden stands up and comes to stand beside her.“What are you doing here?” he asks, completely ignoring my presence. The show of concern frankly makes me cringe. From my peripheral vision, I can see Denzel watching the conversation closely.“She is my beta, therefore, she has to be present I am surprised by your presence though,” I say with an air of callousness. Aiden’s jaw clenches. I know why he is here and he was definitely not expecting me to be here.“So, alpha Liam, how have you been?” I ask, ignoring how everything has mellowed down and the earlier hubbub has sort of become silent.Alpha Liam,
