Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Mission: Bound by Fate: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

Akira’s POVAs we walked down the hallway, I could feel my nerves tightening.The guard stopped in front of a door I didn’t recognize. This wasn’t Hunter’s library or his study, the places I’d been dragged to countless times before.No, this room was different, and the guard seemed hesitant, as if he was scared to knock. After what felt like an eternity, he finally knocked gently on the door, but there was no response. He tapped again, even softer this time, his hand trembling slightly.I couldn’t take it anymore.Frustrated, I stepped forward and banged heavily on the door, the sound echoing through the quiet hallway. The guard shot me a look of panic, but I didn’t care.“This isn’t the time for your gentle tapping,” I muttered under my breath, irritation lacing my words.Just as I was about to bang on the door again, it suddenly swung open.Hunter stood there; his muscular chest exposed as he tried to slip into a robe. He was cursing under his breath, something about taking the head

Hunters’ POVThe evening was cool, and the moon shone brightly in the sky, casting a silver glow over the woods. The air was crisp, and the weather was decent enough for a run—just the way I liked it.This time of day was usually solitary for me, a time when I could exercise and clear my mind. I shifted into my werewolf form and felt the familiar rush of power as my muscles expanded, fur sprouting over my skin.With a low growl, I took off, my paws hitting the forest floor in a steady, powerful rhythm.Running like this, with the wind against my fur and the scent of the earth filling my senses, was the one thing that brought me peace.I’d been doing this since I was ten years old. I still remembered the first time I’d run through these woods. Back then, I was just a scared little boy, unable to protect my mother from my father’s wrath.Alpha Silver, the head of the Silver Moon pack, my father, had been a cruel man.I had watched helplessly as he battered my mother in the living room.

Akira’s POVWhen I quietly pushed open the door to our room that early morning, I saw the surprise flash across Lisa’s face. She probably thought I’d be long gone by now, far away from this mansion and the hellish grip of Hunter.Yesterday morning, when I told her I was planning to escape again, I could tell she wasn’t comfortable with the idea. But I assured her that I would leave alone by using my werewolf abilities to speed my escape and when I get help, I will come back for them. She didn’t even have to say much then; the worry in her eyes was enough to know what’s om her mind.“Akira,” Lisa whispered as I stepped into the room, her voice thick with concern. “What happened? You were supposed to be gone by now.”I sighed, closing the door behind me as I leaned back against it. “I got caught,” I said flatly, not wanting to relive the humiliation of being tackled by Hunter in the woods.Lisa’s eyes widened. “Caught? By who? Hunter?”I nodded, feeling the anger bubbling up inside me a

Akira’s POVI wasn't surprised when Kestrel followed me into the bathroom. The moment I excused myself from Hunter’s side, I could sense her predatory eyes on me. It was as if she had been waiting for a moment like this, a moment when I was away from Hunter, to confront me and put me in my place.Inside the restroom, when I felt her presence, I intentionally ignored her.I went about my business, refusing to acknowledge her standing there with that smug look on her face. I knew she was expecting me to say something, but I wasn’t going to give her the gratification. I washed my hands, taking my time, hoping she’d get bored and leave, but of course, she didn’t.Just as I was about to exit the restroom, Kestrel stepped in front of me, blocking my way. I looked up at her, my eyes narrowing. Those eyes were filled with spite, and I could see the barely contained wrath simmering beneath the surface.“So, you think you’ve started growing wings just because the Moon Goddess made you Hunter’s

Akira’s POVThe truck had been moving for what seems to be hours. I had no idea where this truck was headed, but one thing was certain: I would jump out the minute it stopped. The further away I was from Hunter’s mansion, the better. Lying there beneath the filthy rug, I could feel every bump and jolt as the truck barreled down the road. I silently prayed to the moon goddess, even though I knew she wouldn’t be too pleased with me right now.All I wanted was for the driver not to check the back of his truck when he made his next stop.As I lay there, my mind raced with thoughts of what to do next. I didn’t have any money or belongings with me, and I was headed to a place I didn’t even know. But none of that mattered as much as getting away from Hunter and his suffocating control.I thought about Lisa and Brielle, the two girls who had become my friends in the midst of all this chaos. I hadn’t told them I was going to escape tonight. How could I? Even I didn’t know I was going to do
