Semua Bab I Don't Remember Loving You, Alpha: Bab 271 - Bab 280

TravisFor twenty-five years, I lived worse than an omega.I knew hunger, knew the biting cold of winter without shelter. I knew what it was like to have to fight tooth and claw just to survive. Every scar on my body and every broken bone I’d suffered over the years, was a reminder of what I had endured.Of what they took from me.But today… Today, I had taken everything back.I sat at the center of the council chamber with the Alpha’s seat beneath me. Its weight was both familiar and foreign.I ran my fingers along the polished wood, savoring the moment. Then a slow smile stretched across my lips.This… This throne should have belonged to my father.It was his by right.But instead, he had died in disgrace, got cast out, and forgotten. But I had fulfilled his dying wish.I had claimed what was rightfully ours.And I wasn’t going to let anyone take it from me.***I could still remember the night my father died.His breath was shallow. And his body was already weak, broken by the yea

Jared knelt on the ground. Using the tools he carried with him, he removed the chains from my feet."Can you walk?"I gritted my teeth, trying to ignore the pain in my body.“I’ll manage. Go.”Jared gave me a hand and assisted me through the dark stone corridors. His men followed our lead. They were fully geared to fight back against any enemies ahead.“We’re up close! Go! Hurry!” Jared commanded.The exit was closed. I could see the door where they had taken me. Jared pulled me forward, and my feet burned with pain, but I gritted my teeth intensely. This was nothing compared to the feeling of losing Elaine. So I hurried, despite the deep pain.We passed a few more cells until one of the guards in the left corridor saw us.“INTRUDERS!!” he shouted before dashing away to inform the other cell guards.“Fuck! We got caught! Hurry! Move your asses before they storm inside.”Jared pushed through the corridor.A loud bell rang, echoing painfully in our ears. Within seconds, the thunder of h

ElaineLate night in our cozy home. Our bedroom was dimly lit by the soft glow of the streetlights shining through the curtains. Their light made gentle shapes on the walls. Outside, the city was still awake. I could still hear a couple of cars driving by, distant voices, the occasional sound of a siren. And yet, I felt like I was living in a different world where it was just Trevor and me. For sure, it was a quiet escape from the noise and the pressure of everything waiting beyond these walls.Trevor lay behind me. His body was pressed against mine, fitting perfectly as if we were meant to rest this way. One of his arms draped over my waist. His other hand rested just below my ribs where his fingers lightly curled against my skin. His legs tangled with mine. There was a steady heat I felt in every place we touched.His slow, steady breaths brushed against the back of my neck, making my hair stand. It was a quiet reminder that he was here and that I wasn’t alone. For once, my mind

"Travis? Isn’t he the challenger for the Wolfsilver Alpha seat?"The tension in the car was suffocating. My stomach knotted with confusion as I glanced between Tristan and Jared through the rear view mirror. The sharp scent of burnt rubber and blood filled the air. It was a reminder of how close we had come to getting caught by Travis' men earlier.No one spoke as Trevor continued to drive. The only sound you could hear in the quietness of the night was the low hum of the engine as we sped down the empty road. The darkness outside was making it feel like the night would never end. This was the kind of silence that I never dreamed to have. Jared and Tristan exchanged a glance. Neither spoke at first, but I caught the flicker of shame on Tristan’s face. They didn’t need to say anything. It was pretty obvious what happened to the fight earlier. Travis had beaten Tristan in a fight and Tristan was ashamed because of that. I had expected a tough battle between them. However, I never for

ElaineTrevor suddenly reached for my hand. His touch was warm despite the cold air creeping into the car. His fingers laced through mine, holding on as if grounding me. I knew he was silently reminding me that we were in this together. It was as if he could hear the thoughts running inside my mind. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure we get our life back,” he said.He smiled bitterly, and I knew he wasn’t just saying it to comfort me. His voice was firm and was filled with quiet determination. It wasn’t just reassurance in hope of making me feel better at the moment. It was a promise.I almost broke down in tears. Especially, not now. Instead, I smiled back. No matter how many obstacles stood in our way, as long as I was with Trevor, as long as we faced them together, I knew I could endure anything.Trevor pulled the car to a stop. He shook Jared’s lap to rouse him. “Wake up, Jared, we’re here at the end of the Route 47, just like you instructed,” Trevor suddenly announced. He removed hi
