All Chapters of Claimed by My Bully Alpha: Chapter 371 - Chapter 380

Aurora’s P.O.VI had thought, at first, that the skeletal form was running away from me. My heart raced as I tried to chase it, though the dizziness from the alcohol still clung to my senses, making every step a challenge. The figure moved with unnatural speed, the sharp angles of its bones slicing through the night air. But as I followed, my instincts screamed at me. No, it wasn’t running from me—it was running toward something. I wasn’t the one being hunted. It was meant to lead me somewhere.The form came out of the packhouse, gliding like it was weightless, its bony limbs outstretched. It didn’t move like a person at all. It wasn’t running; it was floating. And despite how wrong everything felt—despite how sick I felt, how my vision swayed—I couldn’t stop following it. There was something magnetic about it. It called to me, luring me, and I had no choice but to heed the summons.“Wait!” I shouted, my voice trembling, but the shadow didn’t respond. Instead, it gave a low, eerie lau

Aurora’s P.O.VThe corridors passed in a blur, the polished stone and dark wood becoming a tunnel guiding me toward the courtyard. I pushed the doors open and was hit by the crisp midnight air—cool and fresh, laced with the scent of pine and damp earth. It cleared my head, but only a little. My legs moved faster than my thoughts, carrying me across the courtyard, past the training grounds and toward the tree line that separated the central compound from the condos and other pack houses.Of course they had to be on the opposite side of the woods. Of course.I didn’t hesitate, even as the shadows stretched long and the woods loomed quiet and watchful around me. My bare feet barely made a sound on the leaf-strewn path as I broke into a brisk walk, hugging my arms around myself for warmth and comfort. The wind whistled softly between the trees, and every so often a twig snapped or a bird took flight overhead, but nothing alarming. Still, my heart wouldn’t settle. Not until I saw them.“I

Aurora’s P.O.VCenturies of work? What on earth was happening? What was Avery even talking about?“I—” I started, my throat tightening. “I didn’t know what you’re tal—”“LIES!” she roared, and the sound reverberated through the trees, making the ground tremble beneath me. “You knew. You knew, and you still chose them over us. You betrayed everything I stood for. Everything we were!”Before I could say another word, she was suddenly right in front of me—too fast—and then—Her foot collided with my stomach so hard that the air punched out of my lungs. I gasped, folding in on myself as the pain exploded through me like wildfire. I hit the ground, gravel scraping at my skin, and instinctively tried to curl up, to shield myself.But she didn’t stop.Another kick. Then another. Fists rained down on me, hard, sharp, cruel. It was far stronger that Avery could’ve ever been. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. All I could do was feel—the thudding pain, the wetness of blood on my tongue, the

Aurora’s P.O.VI felt sick. "God, Caleb! I keep telling you but you’re not listening!" My chest rose and fell faster, each inhale making my ribs scream. "I didn’t fall, damnit! I swear to you. I don’t know what’s going on, but something about last night… it wasn’t right."He hesitated for a long moment, then finally moved closer, brushing hair away from my face with a tenderness that nearly undid me. "Okay," he said finally, softly. "Okay. If you’re sure… we’ll figure it out. I believe you."I wasn’t sure what was worse—the ache in my body, or the terror that something even worse than Lucas and Harmona’s terror might be going on."Please," I whispered, tears burning at the corners of my eyes, "Don’t leave me alone tonight.""You think I could?" he said, voice thick with emotion, and then he tucked himself beside me, his arms wrapping gently around my trembling body. "I’m not going anywhere, Aurora. I swear."But even in his arms, I couldn’t shake the feeling that whatever had happened

Aurora’s P.O.VThe sudden silence in the room made me pause as I glanced up at Caleb and Caroline, and I could feel my chest tighten with worry. I needed answers. Shane hadn’t been around much lately, especially since he’s actively trying to avoid Mia, but that wasn’t unusual. He was often busy with pack matters, out on missions or patrols. Still, something about the way Caroline and Caleb were avoiding my gaze had me on edge.Why did they keep on calling him via a phone when they could’ve just used the mind link long ago?"What's going on?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, yet carrying an urgency I couldn’t mask. "Where’s Shane? Why haven’t I heard from him? Caleb, why can’t you get hold of him using the mind link?" My heart was already racing as I said the words, the fear in my stomach growing with every passing second.Did something happen to Shane after he rescued me? Did Ashton or that…shadow…somehow retaliate against him?Caroline was the first to speak, her eyes soft b
