The Alpha's Ex-Mate のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 151 - チャプター 160

I shook my head before turning to her and asking, “Where is Zander?”“He would be in the pack house,” she said, but she sounded uncertain. “Why? What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” I replied, waving my hand dismissively. “Why did you come here?” I asked, suddenly realizing her presence here was unexpected.“Oh, yeah, I forgot,” Blaire said, lightly slapping her forehead. “Austin woke up, and he wasn’t eating dinner, so I came here to look for you,” she answered.But I wasn’t entirely convinced by her answer. “Here? How did you know I’d be here?” I asked, raising my brows in question.“When I didn’t find you in the pack house, I asked one of the omegas, and she told me she saw you heading toward the lakeside while she was carrying herbs from the royal garden. Then I searched everywhere until I found you here,” she explained, and now it made sense.“But who was that man you were talking about?” she asked again, her curiosity evident.I hesitated for a moment before shrugging it off. “Ah, nothing,

Another worry was that Zander hadn’t returned yet. Perhaps he didn’t plan to return tonight. I sighed in disappointment and went back to my room. Before heading there, I checked on Austin, who was sleeping soundly.I changed into a nightgown and lay on my side of the bed. Sleep was far away from my overworked mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t stop thinking about the strange coincidences and unusual events.The Dark Alpha was a problem, but I couldn’t ignore the feeling that Damon’s name was connected to all of this. He wouldn’t have stayed hidden for so long without some ill intention. I needed to track his location. But how?Jasper Shadowborne, his half-brother!Yes, Jasper was the new vampire king, and he might help me. But how would I convince him to help me find Damon Shadowborne if he had also forgotten me?I closed my eyes, trying to focus on planning my next move. Somewhere along the way, exhaustion won, and I drifted off without realizing it. My sleep was interru

*Zander*‘Maddox, set a high alert around the entire pack, especially near the lake and the forest,’ I commanded my Beta through the mindlink as I shifted into my wolf form, letting Lyon take over.We ran tirelessly for hours, scanning every inch of the pack's borders. The wind rushed past us, carrying no unfamiliar scent, no sign of intrusion. Frustration clawed at my chest as the search turned up empty. Not a trace of him.There was no word from Maddox either. Finally, I shifted back into my human form, panting heavily as I surveyed my surroundings. The woods stood silent, almost eerily so, as if mocking my efforts.‘Maddox, did you find anything?’ I asked as I mindlinked my Beta.‘No, Alpha,’ he replied promptly. ‘We haven't detected anything or anyone suspicious.’I frowned, wiping the sweat from my brow. ‘Did you check all the surveillance footage from the past three or four days?’‘Yes, Alpha. We’ve gone through everything thoroughly,’ Maddox assured me. Then, after a brief pause

“She has woken up, and you can see her now,” the doctor said. Without wasting a second, I darted toward the room, eager to see her.But Jasper stopped me. “Wait, Alpha Zander. Ask her what I did to her, and then let me go,” he demanded, his tone firm but not hostile.I nodded curtly. “I’ll check on her health first,” I replied indifferently, my hand already on the door handle.Jasper stepped closer, his voice tinged with irritation. “Listen, Alpha. I didn’t stay here to entertain your baseless accusations. I stayed because I wanted to clear my name and prove I had nothing to do with your Luna’s condition. Now, get this over with and let me leave in peace.”I took a deep breath, fighting back the swirl of emotions threatening to overwhelm me. The news of Selena’s pregnancy had left me shaken, and her health was my top priority. Lashing out at the Vampire King without proper cause would be reckless and could spark unnecessary conflict. I couldn’t afford that. Not now.“Alright, give me a

*Selena*After I felt better I insisted to the doctor that I wanted to go home. Blair and Austin stayed with me. Austin adamantly refused to leave without me. My sweet boy was so attached to me, and it melted my heart with love for him.Zander arrived a while later and took me home, but I still wasn’t speaking to him. How could he even think I’d been with another man? Blair had already informed me that the vampire king had been sent off respectfully, accompanied by Zander’s apologies.What concerned me more was whether Jasper would stick to our plan or if his encounter with Zander might have changed his mind. I needed to contact him again—just not now.Right now, all I could focus on was the fire burning inside me. Goddess, I was overwhelmed with need. Knowing we were expecting another baby had only heightened my longing for my mate. It had been so long since we’d been truly intimate, and I couldn’t fathom how he’d managed to maintain such self-control.But I wasn’t strong enough—not w
