The Blind Alpha의 모든 챕터: 챕터 81 - 챕터 90

AYRA'S POVI received the notice with mixed emotions. Moving into the same wing as Alpha Lucius wasn't exactly what I had in mind, but I couldn't let my feelings cloud my judgment. Nana's confirmation that I was now worthy of being a Luna Queen brought a surge of gratitude, though it was tempered by the knowledge of what lay ahead. I thanked them both profusely, masking my true intentions behind a facade of sincerity.As I entered the wing, a sense of anticipation mingled with apprehension. Lucius awaited me, his presence a looming shadow in my mind. I squared my shoulders, steeling myself for the encounter."Ah, Ayra," Lucius greeted me with a charming smile, though I could see the flicker of something else in his eyes. "Welcome to your new quarters. I trust everything is to your liking?"I nodded, forcing a polite smile. "Yes, thank you, Alpha Lucius. The accommodations are quite satisfactory.""Good, good," he said, his tone casual as he gestured around the room. "If there's anythin

ALPHA LUCIUS'S POVThe weight of the crown felt heavier than usual upon my brow as I paced the length of my chambers, my mind consumed with thoughts of Ayra. I had made a decision earlier that day that had surprised even myself – inviting her to move into my personal wing. It was a move that would undoubtedly raise eyebrows, both within the pack and beyond.But something about Ayra had unsettled me in recent days, a nagging feeling that whispered of hidden agendas and veiled intentions. I couldn't shake the sense that she was up to something, something that could pose a threat to me and my reign.I paused in my restless pacing, casting a wary glance at the door as it swung open to reveal Nana, the old sage who had served as my advisor for countless years."Nana," I greeted her with a nod, grateful for her presence in the midst of my turmoil. "What brings you here?"She regarded me with a knowing look, her eyes sharp and penetrating. "I wanted to discuss your decision to invite Ayra int

VESTA'S POVThe silence of the night enveloped me as I prepared to retire to bed, the weight of the day's events heavy on my mind. But before I could slip beneath the covers, a loud knock echoed through the silence, startling me from my thoughts.Curiosity piqued, I made my way to the door, my heart pounding with apprehension. Who could be knocking at this hour? Pulling open the door, I was met with the sight of Ellie standing on my doorstep, tears streaming down her face."Ellie?" I exclaimed, concern flooding my voice as I ushered her inside. "What's wrong?"She collapsed onto the couch, her sobs echoing through the room as I wrapped my arms around her, offering what little comfort I could. I drew her a bath, the sound of running water filling the air as I tried to soothe her frazzled nerves."What's wrong, Ellie?" I asked, concern lacing my voice."He threw me out," she choked out, tears streaming down her cheeks. I wrapped my arms around her, leading her to the bathroom to draw her

VESTA'S POVThe scent of pine needles and damp earth filled the air as I strapped on my hunting knife. Ellie, my partner on patrol, was fiddling with the straps on her backpack, her brow furrowed in concentration."Almost ready, greenhorn?" I teased, a grin tugging at my lips.She swatted playfully at my arm. "Just making sure everything's in order, Lila. You wouldn't want us caught unprepared, would you?""Unprepared?" I scoffed, throwing my head back and laughing. "Ellie, darling, we could handle a rogue deer with our bare hands."A loud, insistent rapping on the front door cut through my laughter. Ellie jumped, her eyes widening with alarm. I rolled my eyes, already suspecting the culprit."Just ignore it," I muttered, slinging my backpack over my shoulder and heading for the back door. "It's probably just another lost tourist asking for directions."But the knocking persisted, growing more insistent with each passing second. With a sigh, I retraced my steps, stopping in front of th

AYRA'S POVCrystal chandeliers rained down an ethereal glow, illuminating the vast ballroom in a dazzling display. Tonight was the ball, and the air crackled with anticipation. Despite the churning turmoil within me, I couldn't deny a sliver of excitement. Perhaps it was the intoxicating music or the sheer grandeur of it all, but a thrill ran through me as I scanned the room.Lucius, impeccably dressed in a black suit that accentuated his broad shoulders, stood beside me. He was the epitome of a powerful Alpha, his presence commanding respect from everyone in the room. He'd been uncharacteristically attentive all night, fetching me drinks, complimenting my dress (which, admittedly, did make me feel like a shimmering goddess), and even engaging in playful banter with my newfound friends, Tiara and Maki."Enjoying yourself, Ayra?" he asked, his voice a low rumble that sent a pleasant shiver down my spine. We weren't mates, not truly, but tonight, under the artificial warmth of the ballro
