Semua Bab When The Alpha Falls He Falls Hard: Bab 61 - Bab 70

ArcherI came to school on Avery Friday just to hear the news spread that Alex had awoken from his coma. The halls were abuzz with excitement about his return and planning a big welcome back event. It made me want to vomit.Maria was there too, smiling again now that her dear friend was okay. I avoided her accusing glares, keeping my head down.In class, everyone babbled cheerfully about visiting Alex in the hospital, oblivious to my seething guilt. I should be rotting in jail, not strolling around free. Yet here I was, the invisible monster in their midst.My mother called, her usual platitudes now laced with relief. "See? All's well, no lasting harm done. We're in the clear." I remained silent, unable to shatter her desperate illusion. Nothing about this was right. But at least it was for my better good.I return home at least I know he is not dead. And I can feel a heavy wight raise off my shoulders. Freya was telling she'll leave because she finished her job. "Your mother says the

Luna MaraLucas stormed off in a rage, I turned to Grandmother worriedly. "He refuses to relent regarding Archer. We must take drastic action for the good of this family."Grandmother nodded pensively. "Desperate times call for desperate measures. If we cannot appeal to Lucas's compassion, we must find other ways to change his mind."We plotted escalating steps to make Lucas feel the consequences of his callousness. First we would pressure the pack elders to ostracize him. Next, threaten to undermine his leadership credibility with key allies. Finally, spread rumors that his own Beta Keegan plotted to overthrow him. "If he believes his power is slipping, he will see the need to reconcile with Archer to stabilize pack relations," I reasoned. Grandmother agreed this was our only remaining option to protect my son.But that evening, Lucas called me to his study, face like thunder. "Do not think your whispers have gone unnoticed, mate," he hissed. "You tread dangerous ground with this s

67 HeatherThe aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped me as I tied the apron around my waist, preparing for the morning rush at the cafe. Working here these past months had become comforting in its routine - the hiss of the espresso machine, regular customers chatting over their usual orders, the clink of dishes and murmur of easy conversation. In this quaint space I could almost convince myself I was just an ordinary woman, with an ordinary life. No tangled threads to unravel, no questions without answers, no nameless longing in my heart for someone lost to me."Morning Heather!" Aria chirped as she breezed in, all youthful energy and bounce. "Ready for the breakfast crowd?"I smiled warmly at my coworker, her cheerful demeanor proving contagious as always. "Ready as I'll ever be. Let's get that coffee brewing for our hungry patrons."We worked in sync, she preparing pastries while I arranged mugs and dishes. As the cafe owner, I get to work both in the office to take care of thi

IanThe early morning sun streamed in through the windows, the song of my phone rousing me from a restless sleep. I pick it seeing the caller ID."Logan, why on Earth would call me early in the morning!" I barked at him."Sorry, sir but it's already 11 o'clock and I called to ask you about the files we would be needed it by 12." He explained."Urrrgh," I groan. "I'm done with it, that's what kept me late yesterday." I replied. " I'll send it now." I added.I sat on my bed half asleep and went through the file for another check up before sending it to Logan my secretary. Thanks to him he keep the company going even without me being there. Through he had to make me work my ass.Me: "Send it." I typed to him and he replied.Logan: "Seen Sir. I've always known you'll be done even after sending late. Keep the hard work.""Bastard. After you make me work my ass off." I cursed him throwing the phone on bed and getting into a shower.I did my usual routine on autopilot, shaving, showering, d

Keegan The early dawn light filtering into my Spartan quarters roused me from a restless sleep. I rose and began my morning routine, movements automatic from long habit. But my thoughts were consumed with heavier matters - it was time I revealed the truth to Lucas.Splashing cold water on my face, I met my reflection's eyes in the mirror. There was no turning back now that I'd resolved to disclose all. Lucas's reaction worried me deeply, but surely even he could recognize finally learning his mate's whereabouts as cause for joy? I had to hope his long-buried humanity would surface.Part of my reluctance stemmed from shame as well. Lucas would see my role in aiding Heather's escape as the ultimate betrayal. And he would not be entirely wrong - I had deceived my Alpha these long years, however noble my intent to protect an innocent woman. The woman I loved.But Lucas's capacity for cruelty had outweighed duty in my mind back then. While he spiraled into madness, I chose compassion. "Th
