บททั้งหมดของ The Rogue Alpha’s Claim: บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Ariel groggily opened her eyes, blinking at the haze that had been preventing her from opening them. A deep frown was set on her face, her brain working at full power as she tried to recall how she got into the position.Her eyes lazily focused on the intricate details of the ceiling before they shifted to another part of the room and settled there.She sat up on her bed, a terrible mistake on her part, as she was struck with a terrible headache. Ariel clutched her head in pain, gently lowering herself back to the bed.Her hands were under her pillow, sweeping under it as she looked for her phone. There were lapses in her memory; she couldn’t even recall how she got here, and the phone should help.“Oh shit!” She murmured under her breath as she held the phone in her hands, the coldness startling her. She pressed the power button, but after several attempts and the blank screen being all she could see, she was searching for a power outlet.“Ariel.” Kane’s call came as he opened the do

Ariel flinched as the door shut, the sound startling her. It was a struggle to remain on the bed when all she wanted to do was run to meet him and beg him to stay.But he needed to learn.She tried to assure herself that she was doing the right thing, but why did it feel like the wrong decision? He may be the alpha over everyone here, but he wasn’t her alpha.They were just dating, and he couldn’t treat her however he wanted. If everyone fears him here or is afraid to call out his bullshit, she would be the odd one out.With that determination, Ariel lowered herself to the bed, draping the blanket over her body, and she stretched her hand, reaching for her phone.She squinted as the bright light from the phone startled her, but her eyes slowly adjusted, and she checked the time. It was still some hours until dawn, but she was too afraid to close her eyes.She couldn’t shake the eerie feeling she got, and something told her there was more to see than she knew. She ended up staring at t

Ariel didn’t see the open fist coming; if she had, she would have done everything to avoid it. But it was too late.The woman's hand connected to her face with the force of a lightning bolt striking her cheeks without warning, and Ariel’s head jerked back from the impact, her ears ringing from the force.A gasp echoed throughout the crowd; their mouths hung open and their eyes wide open as they watched the event unfold. No one had expected it, not even Ariel.If Ariel had thought that her hands hurt from slapping a werewolf, it was nothing compared to the sting of the slap from a fully grown wolf.“Fuck! She cried out from the pain.The pain was a burning sensation, like a fire igniting on her skin and sending a red signal through all her nerve cells. Ariel pressed her palm to her cheeks, trying to provide a cooling sensation to wash over the pain, but it was almost fruitless.She felt a surge of shock and disbelief coursing through her blood, but the slap had awakened a deep well of

“I see Kane has hired you to be the babysitter.” Ariel eyed her friend as she came closer to her.“I can’t really call myself a babysitter, but the alpha had requested I stay with you, so yeah, maybe I am one.”“Haaa.” Ariel sighed, shaking her head. “Kane is just doing too much; I don’t need a babysitter!”“I have no say in this; I am only doing what I was asked to.” Liza said, raising her hands up on defense. “Anyways, do you need anything?”“You could take me outside?” Ariel was practically giving her the puppy eyes.“Anything apart from that.” Liza glanced at her friend, her lips turning down in a frown as she saw her face. “You know those don’t work on me, right?”“Haaa.” Ariel released a sigh. “I am bored.” She groaned out her displeasure, but Liza could care less. She was just here to do the bidding of her alpha.”“We could Netflix and chill if you want.” Liza picked up the remote of the TV, turning it on, before coming to sit in the empty space close to her. “How are you doing

“I have to go, baby.”“Why?” Ariel whined, hugging her mate tighter, afraid he would escape her hold. “Do you have to do this?”"Yes, I do. I already explained to you that it is part of defending the pack, and as the alpha, I have to lead by example.”“But do you really have to? What am I going to be doing all by myself when you are gone?”“You would have been going to work if you hadn’t quit.”Ariel groaned, not ready to hear that. “I already explained to you why I couldn’t do that. Besides, you were the one who was insisting I quit.” Ariel accused him, and Kane shrugged his shoulders.She had been very excited when she first started the work, but after a week, she had been quick to realize that that kind of life wasn’t for her.Waking up every day was never for her. She was a baby girl, true and true.“Only because you were always complaining that it was too much work. I don’t like seeing you in pain or miserable.” Kane said, stroking her chin softly.“I know.” Ariel replied in a so
