All Chapters of Alpha of the Shadows: Chapter 81 - Chapter 87

A month has passed. A cough coming from our bedroom made me jumped from my deep thoughts. I was having my coffee in the kitchen and Jacob was at our bedroom. Laying down on our bed even when the sun has shone for an hour and a half.Not because he feel lazy to go to the Hall like he used to, but because he has become weak. His eyes had sunken with dark circles under it, there’s hollow in his cheeks, his skin has become dull and dry and no matter how much I put lipbalm in his lips, it keeps on cracking. His body was not as strong as he was. And everyday he get worse.I can barely look at him in this state but the only time I wasn’t by his side were morning like this. I drink my coffee alone then I’d cry my heart out without making a sound and spend the rest of my day beside him again. This is the time I used to outlet my sadness, fear and every other emotion I couldn’t show in front of him.There was still no news about another way. There’s still no another way and I lose the hope on

Lucianna’s POVRoscoe came and as soon as he get off his car, we exchanged a look that lasts for almost a minute. There was a lot in our eye language and it’s more like him saying ‘I told you so,’ and mine were ‘We’re in this situation so fucking try and talk with your mate’s body’. I saw his shoulder sagged as he sighed but headed to where Fhoxia was as if he read my mind.I really hope Roscoe can get something, anything, from Fhoxia. He does before, he still felt the bond between him and his mate’s body that the messenger borrowed. So I hoped, keep on hoping, there’s nothing I could do anyway.“He’s been there for how long?” Harley asked behind me.Time has reached a spot on top of my list that I prioritized to forget, so I just shrugged Harley’s question. Now watching Roscoe has made me feel dreaded in the guts so I decided to head inside and sit on the couch. Harley lingered longer by the porch, watching my brother-in-law like a hawk.I don’t know if I feel excited or anxious with

Lucianna's POV“Fhoxia,” I called when we are all gathered in front of the messenger. “This is Quillon, you understand each other, right?”As if I understand that Fhoxia would not respond, I looked at Quillon and wait for what he has heard. Not just me, but everyone of us.“She says ‘the time is near’,” Quillon said, looking straight at Fhoxia. “Her task in this realm has ended but she couldn’t leave until she got to help. That is why she can no longer speak and why she was starting to join the wind.”The tears couldn’t stop itself from forming into my eyes. So that is why Fhoxia hasn’t responded to any of us. This is the reason and she stays just to help us.“Did she find out anything to help?” Jacob asked. All of us are stunned with what Quillon said but Jacob recovered first. “Any cure?”Quillon was patiently waiting for what Fhoxia has answered. The silence made my head swirl in thoughts, mixed emotions and ideas. But from it all, the silent prayer I did in the back of my head sho

Chapter Eighty-SixLucianna’s POVThe breather reached a whole night and I found Ashira and Aiden at our kitchen when I woke up the next morning. Jacob was still sleeping and I must’ve looked like shit because when they saw me, Ashira’s face was masked with worry.“Good morning,” I greeted and gave them a small smile. I head to the counter and sat at a stool.Ashira went to my side and pulled me for a side hug. “Hey,” she said, her tone comforting and she didn’t need to add another word. I knew what she wanted to say. “I made breakfast.”“Thanks. Sorry, I overslept.” Less sleep and more crying actually. Ashira rubbed my arm before letting me go. “Where’s Quillon?”“He stayed at the room,” Ash sighed. “He didn’t stop persuading us last night. He really wanted to help, Luce. I’m sorry.” I could tell that her apology was sincere.Aiden huffed but didn’t say a thing, he just sip on his cup of coffee.I smiled. “Hey, It’s alright. I understand. I really do.”“If there was another way, I pr
