Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Ruthless Alpha Queen.: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

"What are you doing...?" Lucian tried to ask but was muffled all over again by yet another one of Elsa's hot kisses. "This isn't..." All his sentences followed the same pattern, as she seemed quite determined to stop him from ruining the moment with his words.Her style of seduction was rather imposing than the usual persuasive style used by most women who had failed at what she was trying so hard to do at the moment. Her courage was commendable, but he just couldn't consent to what she was offering at the moment. He was too stuck on what the future consequences would be to actually enjoy the heat of the moment.More than any other thing, that singular act would lead to many other acts like that one in the future. The moment the both of them would get a taste of each other, they would want to have it over and over, and he wasn't ready to put up with that. He had already found his mate, and he felt like entertaining that pleasure was like a huge betrayal to Anna, even though they hadn'

"Focus..." Anna took deep breaths as she tried to still herself in the turbulent world of her thoughts and emotions— just like Barbara had told her the last time.Every single day was beginning to seem like the same to Anna, but then she didn't mind living a boring lonely life if it was going to end with her getting revenge for her family. She didn't mind at that point, as she considered it a minor sacrifice for the greater good.With the way she was being looked at by the people of Lucian's pack, solitude didn't seem like a bad idea. It was more of a luxury. She just hoped that Barbara wouldn't begin to look at her the same way the others were. If it ever happened that way, she would begin planning her exit from the pack by any means possible.For the time being, she was going to learn everything that she possibly could. She would encourage herself anytime she was feeling down, with the absurd and incomprehensible poem her father had given her as a birthday gift. Though she didn't un

Anna was frightened by the men lying on the floor outside the building. She was forced to think twice about what she had contemplated doing. Though she wasn't sure if they were dead, they seemed lifeless as they didn't move a single muscle as she tiptoed through them all the way to the back door which Elsa had followed.On the inside was smoke, and Anna was glad that she hadn't thought Elsa's covering of her nostrils to be a mere facade or an act of disguise. The smoke was almost blinding, and she thought that not even Lucian could survive that if he had been in there. Good thing she had tied a piece of clothing around her mouth and nostrils, though she held her breath almost throughout the whole incident, and that made her unable to perceive what the odor of the smoke was like.She could hear some fighting in the distance. She soon realized that it wasn't happening in some distant place but right above her. The voices of the people struggling and straining to gain the upper hand beca

"What can we possibly explain this to be?" Carlyle wondered out loud at the round table where Lucian and his seven top subordinates met.Lucian and all his men were dumbfounded, leading to a deafening silence, as no one had the slightest idea what had really happened that day. Their so-called impeccable security had been infiltrated rather too easily, clearly showing how vulnerable they really were.Having his convictions rattled from the core, Lucian just didn't know what else to believe at that point. He had been completely sure about the fact that it had been his former pack coming after him. But then, having seen the face of the man who had almost killed Elsa, he was at a loss for what to say. His seemingly perfect convictions had suddenly crumbled."We have perpetrators from our side." Lucian declared suddenly, as he couldn't hold in his thoughts for one more moment. "That has got to be how they managed to get in." He spoke regardless of the appalled facial expressions of all who

“You seem more worried than usual today.” Carlyle quickly took note of Lucian's unusual disposition. “What's the matter?”That was the only thing Lucian disliked about his beta and aide— he knew his alpha too well. He could predict almost all of Lucian's thoughts and intents, and couldn't let any of the details of his observation pass by.“Nothing really. I'm just still a bit shaken up from yesterday.” Lucian said, looking away, through his window as usual. He hoped that explanation would keep Carlyle at bay, at least for the time being. There was no way he would tell him that he was being haunted by the memories of his late-night foolishness. “I'm just wondering how someone at the table would be able to betray us into the hands of our enemies.”“I'm still doubtful that the mole is among your council members. It's simply inconceivable. But then, you seemed so sure of it, and that's a good sign.”“Right.” He thought Carlyle's reply itself as a good sign, as he had successfully diverted
